gollark: It's possible that my bot is limited to one post per 10 minutes in which case I'll have to... wait a bit?
gollark: Anyway, when I get home I'll see if I can program a bot to do this once every minute or something.
gollark: Though your share price does drop over time if you cycle this, it's quite slow and I think this would work still.
gollark: After 200 cycles of this you could get... 17292x returns?!
gollark: But that's enough time to get 5% more coins every minute or so.
