gollark: Okay, I just found another way to get (very small) amounts of money which a bot could trivially do in a loop or something. If this is deemed an issue there'll inevitably be a hacky "fix" for it, but the system is fundamentally broken.
gollark: Also, bots wouldn't actually be an issue with a better designed system which requires thinking. Which, to be fair, this sort of does, except for the fact that the *only* way to get money is probably to check the prices constantly, which bots do well.
gollark: The old bot source is up. Someone could run a new subreddit with the old bot or something.
gollark: It seems a very weird system.
gollark: And generally for you to profit someone has to lose. Which is not quite the case in reality - stocks pay dividends.
