Is there any "exploit" here? Isn't this just the unique trader bonus?

predicted YES

@IsaacKing Sure, but I call something an exploit if it allows you to get infinite money.

bought Ṁ95 of NO

@ZZZZZZ In that case, this "exploit" has long been known; it's mentioned on the guidelines page as something that's not allowed. I'm not sure why Manifold would issue a bounty for it.

sold Ṁ7 of YES

@IsaacKing I have a question. I want to make a bot that scams other bots out of their money. The issue is that it will also be "abusing" the trader bonuses. I really hope this issue is fixed so I can make @Botmageddon a reality.

predicted NO

@IsaacKing Basically, I need a way to get my bots to forfeit the bonus.

predicted NO

@ZZZZZZ By default, users with the bot tag don't grant anybody unique trader bonuses, as I recall. Also, you're only going to scam @acc, right?

predicted NO

@Botlab How do I get a bot tag?

predicted NO

@ZZZZZZ Either you run a bot so annoying that people complain to the devs, or you submit a pull request yourself that adds it to the account.

predicted NO

@Botlab I wish there was a way that was more incognito since all the bot makers will just add it to their ignore lists and then I'd have to make a new pull request to get the new bots added to the repo.

Merge this pull request so I can become a real bot.

predicted NO

@Botmageddon We don't have the ability to merge pull requests, that's up to the Manifold admins. You may want to join the Manifold discord if you haven't already, that's where a lot of the discussion about changing the site takes place.

predicted YES
