ASICMINER Auction: 50 Block Erupter Blades CHECK OP FOR PAYMENT

[John (John K.)]

Well, you should put both active bids together as the old bids are automatically cancelled. Never include the bid you're canceling - the bot cannot determine if you're canceling it or not.

sorry.   do not understand your bot code.
but.
if i bid 5@ 35.5 which i did, it should have knocked off the 5 @ 34.5 since they only had 4 still active which would have left me with the 5 @ 36 and the 5 @ 35.5

I believe you have said before that you CANNOT lower your bid which is basically what the bot tried to do with my last bid no?
Not trying to be a pain, just trying to help.

[John (John K.)]

Well, it's not my bot. 
The bot captures the specific words @ and the numbers to automatically constitute the bid. Your last post might've messed up the code altogether I guess, with so many 'bids' popping up in your sentence. I'll be home soon and provide a clear and updated list.

understood.    do not want to mess things up but on the bright side, it is good to have someone like me with fat fingers so you can see the problems early on instead of in the last minutes.
Now, if people would just stop bidding and let the auction close as it stands now, we all could be happy.

[John (John K.)]

  keep the bids coming guys - John the bot will be in service soon !

If you're writing about problems with the bot it might be a good idea to spell out your bids instead of pasting the actual bids; so you hopefully won't confuse the bot further.

Makes sense - the bit maker should've provided me a kill switch in this case

BOTKILL!

PS: Ignore the bot for now - it's going nuts. I'll delete its posts that are wrong.

What if the bot have become self-aware? Are you John Connor?

[Minor Miner]

yes, john you are correct.   it looks like my carelessness has killed the bot.   I will await your update and I will ONLY post EXACTLY the way that you tell me from now on.    just for the record i should only have ten units bid for up there and five should be the first units bid at thirty six and five should be at thirty five spot five.    sorry for killing the poor thing.

Keep bidding, never mind. The author stated that it's beta after all.

My auction summary script was a little less confused by Minor Miner
BitcoinTalk Auctioneer

John, I don't know if you already have something to format your summaries for you or not, but if you've compiled the bids into a CSV list my site can also format directly from CSV:

=P only addition is to remove JessicaMILFson here from the list, and it's golden. I was formatting the bids in the google doc file and exporting it in csv to a table BBCode maker.

The CSV formatting portion of that appspot script will automatically sort the bids, so you only have to manually maintain a time sorted CSV list of bids (from oldest to newest).

You're right, I'll need to add a blacklist feature.

So is the list automatically updated (by scraping this thread or otherwise) or would I need to maintain a CSV file?

The bot should be programmed to only acknowledge as a bid if the format #@##  is in the beginning of the line of the first paragraph, only.
And that also should be the rule for the rest of us.
Also I wonder if it takes into consideration the , and . since some people here might mistype it (and in some countries it is the reverse, so it is easy to be confused).
