That's a fair point. We should add a check to daemon.js that doesn't invoke program manager, RAM manager, or host manager at all in BN8, or anywhere hack income is disabled

Wonder about creating an additional "check" for buying programs to have it wait longer than normal so we don't run out of money to play the market. It's basically leaving me with around 10-20m and doesn't buy any more stocks. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#42>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AARN33PBIEKO6FBGTVLZAODUXLV27ANCNFSM5MSH4KAQ> .

Do you think actually buying and using hacknet servers would also be beneficial? gives you more servers with much more ram and cores to run some threads, would be good in BN8 for stock manip, and possibly 13 for staneks? (although I haven't touched 13 myself yet)

I ran daemon with --stock-manipulation-focus -n -v, but the script won't buy any more servers due to no profits

Stock manipulation is actually quite immaterial until end-of-BN when your hack level is high and you can execute it dozens or hundreds of times a minute, due to the low probability of actually manipulating.

I think until you have enough cash that you can own the maximum short or long position in every stock, you're better off not spending money on anything else.

I also haven't played BN13, so I have no notion of whether it has something that can influence BN8, which is otherwise designed such that nothing but stocks matter.

This might help.

I fixed this issue in a commit adb67e7#diff-8e668a0cd2cd62045267fc2d747b0622bd1c01e7691072df2fec2dac1fb05958

Beyond the cheaper 3 hack tools, daemon will no longer invest in additional hacking infrastructure until we have more than 10b dollars.

Appreciate the link, but we're actually well past that. I used the same approach as their first stochastic model, then added logic to detect the probability inversion point of the game (which is exactly every 75 ticks - they don't appear to have figured that out), so we almost never lose and can actually get to 4s under 8 hours
