Hi buddy, how are things with you and Stillman? You guys do a fine job and I was wondering when we can get a new security blog? Pie charts and graphs are a plus. One thing I was curious about but have never really seen discussed anywhere (maybe its talked about at fanfest) idk, is market bots.

People talk a lot about L4 mission bots and mining bots, anomaly bots in 0.0 but it seems like the lowly market bot gets the least amount of concern, at least from a community standpoint. Being a mover and shaker in the market myself I know the amount of isk thats flowing on a daily basis. Given this simple fact it seems like the market bot is potentially the most lucrative out of them all.

I know a lot of things cannot be discussed in detail because of :opsec: but if you or Stillman were to say: "yeah we know all about it and its really easy to spot those guys and they cant operate for long without getting banhammered" it would make me feel a lot better everytime I update my orders. Love you guys. Keep up the good work Smile

pie charts, the art of looking pretty and telling you close to nothing.

I believe the charts tell us a great deal of things. And the dev blogs help remind the community that sreegs and stillman are on the case despite the way things may seem/appear. Like for instance: I've been trying to buy some Platinum Technite for close to 24 hours now. I realize that certain markets are very competitive and there are people who do nothing but stare at their orders all day, I know about laddering and all the other ways for poopsockers to play the 0.1 game.

I also know of the existence of market bots, I mean you can google it and bam! It's right there. All it takes is a little dev blog here and a little pie chart there to reassure me the community that all is well in banhammering botters land.
