Something very strange is happening with the Hashnest in recent days, the site was abandoned, there is no administration, support is away, many glitchers using codes and chat gaps, redirecting access to other sites, and leaving HN inaccessible ...
Very easy to manipulate the market. A single troll (username: ag) is using bots and autobuy scripts to freeze all markets and making jokes in chat. I think the hashnest deserves to be investigated more closely by the entire community. 
I have seen that also, been on the chat for 2 months and saw him testing his bots last month. He actually sells the bots and support for them. Hash nest also limited the view on the bid & ask to 40 orders. The bots fill all 40 with penny bids and you can't see the real mkt. HN needs to limit API use or charge for API use, also needs to limit to 5-10 open orders per account. A real user has no need to more then that, otherwise the bots take over the mkt and makes trading there impossible.
lmao, I made it onto bitcointalk!
Support has been non-existent, for months, I have a ticket still open since March, even the ticket where I reported the chat glitches is still open!
The redirects have all been fixed (Basic HTML meta refresh tag in username and <video> tags in chatbox), luckily these were all reported to bitmain (by myself and No203) and were fixed before some malicious scammer found out who could of redirected it to a phishing site or other malicious sites. I believe No203 redirected everyone to stop any scammer doing it before it was fixed.
As for the bot, it is open-source created by a different user (billalberts) - Github link of where I forked it:
https://github.com/HN-AG - billalberts removed his original repo on github so he could sell the bot, and offer paid support -
http://talk.nvest.tech/ so don't accuse me of selling the bot/support for it, I offer no support for the bot!
My bot is just a heavily modified version of this code, Hashnest have no rules about using bots, the sole purpose of the Trade API is for bot use isn't it? I do find it rather funny though, there were loads of people sucking up to billalberts to get his bot because they wanted to use it. When someone does use a bot you get moaning plebs complaining about the bots, they are probably the same people who were sucking upto billalberts in the first place!
Limiting accounts to 5-10 open orders per account won't sort it out, its rather easy to use 8 accounts and change API key & Secret every 5-10orders, Hashnest need to revert their decision on the limit for the order books. Bots will always exist while there is a trade api, the 40 penny bids is abit too much so I have actually reduced that now
BTW you don't need to place loads of penny bids to actually freeze the market (cross the orderbooks). This can be achieved with just 1GHS and less than 0.002BTC!
