  1. 0:01Um, and get it started. Um, first thing
  2. 0:04I guess we'll say is like if you got any
  3. 0:05like specific [clears throat] questions,
  4. 0:08um,
  5. 0:09try and just save it till the end. That
  6. 0:10way we can kind of get through
  7. 0:11everything and
  8. 0:14and all that. Um,
  9. 0:16if you need some like a little bit of a
  10. 0:18clarification or, you know, expand like,
  11. 0:21you know, slow down or repeat something,
  12. 0:23um, just like tag us in chat, you know,
  13. 0:25so we can slow down or step in and
  14. 0:28whatever. Try not just like shouting cut
  15. 0:30off Noah.
  16. 0:33Um,
  17. 0:35that's that's really all I have to say
  18. 0:37on my end. Um,
  19. 0:39really besides when it comes to profiles
  20. 0:41and
  21. 0:43and that type of stuff, a lot of it is
  22. 0:45going to come down to, you know, some
  23. 0:46experimentation on your end. So, what
  24. 0:48Noah's ultimately going to show is, you
  25. 0:50know, more of an approach than, you
  26. 0:52know, a a cookie-cutter recipe.
  27. 0:55Um,
  28. 0:57so,
  29. 0:58that that's really all I have to say.
  30. 1:01Um,
  31. 1:01Noah, take over the show, my friend.
  32. 1:04Yeah.
  33. 1:05Thank you, Hype. And I guess before I
  34. 1:07start, I want to thank everyone for
  35. 1:08coming. And I was just curious
  36. 1:11if you could [snorts] type in chat.
  37. 1:14You're breaking up a little bit.
  38. 1:16I am.
  39. 1:19I know there's some people from EU who
  40. 1:20is joining. So, I was just curious where
  41. 1:22everyone's from in the voice chat.
  42. 1:25Oh, and this is US-specific jigging
  43. 1:28stuff only, by the way. I
  44. 1:30I don't know if that's not clear.
  45. 1:34We are happy if you got like an if you
  46. 1:36EU people have like a US address, but we
  47. 1:38know nothing about your EU stuff.
  48. 1:41Mhm.
  49. 1:45Is my voice coming out okay now? Yeah,
  50. 1:46baby. Sounding good. Sounding sexy.
  51. 1:48>> Okay.
  52. 1:50Yeah. So,
  53. 1:52just sharing my screen here. So, I
  54. 1:54wanted to show people
  55. 1:56um, this tool I use to validate
  56. 1:58addresses.
  57. 2:00I'll just put it in the chat, too, so
  58. 2:01you can follow along.
  59. 2:05Where you post, by the way?
  60. 2:07Just TCG chat.
  61. 2:09Yeah.
  62. 2:10Or VC chat. Got it.
  63. 2:14Um, yeah. Really, what you just need is
  64. 2:16a FedEx account. Anybody can can make
  65. 2:18this and access this.
  66. 2:21It's all public info.
  67. 2:23And I found this tool really helpful in
  68. 2:25validating my addresses.
  69. 2:28Um,
  70. 2:29for example, this is an address I pulled
  71. 2:30from Indiana.
  72. 2:32And
  73. 2:34originally, it was like just a
  74. 2:35five-digit zip code.
  75. 2:37And you can perform a detailed address
  76. 2:39check here.
  77. 2:42Let's see.
  78. 2:45Yeah, so it returns what FedEx, at least
  79. 2:47what I think, what FedEx thinks is a
  80. 2:49valid address. So,
  81. 2:51I usually validate my apartment and
  82. 2:53house addresses within this uh tool.
  83. 2:56And I just copy it over to my bot, and I
  84. 2:59found this to be super successful in
  85. 3:02reducing the amount of decision managers
  86. 3:04I've received.
  87. 3:05Because my thinking is, you know, if
  88. 3:07Pokémon Center is working with FedEx
  89. 3:10on, you know, payment validation, it's
  90. 3:13going to be checking on, you know, the
  91. 3:15the validity of your address.
  92. 3:18It's going to be working with like, you
  93. 3:19know, the FedEx database, the USPS
  94. 3:21database for this.
  95. 3:23And so, it's going to be using a a
  96. 3:24system similar to this on what's
  97. 3:26considered valid.
  98. 3:28Um, because,
  99. 3:29you know, if if it's going to be flagged
  100. 3:31as an invalid address, it's definitely
  101. 3:33going to throw flags on how successful
  102. 3:36your checkout will be.
  103. 3:38So, that's that's my line of thinking,
  104. 3:40and I found it to be consistent with
  105. 3:43uh what I found to be successful. So, if
  106. 3:45I
  107. 3:45let's say plug in an apartment number,
  108. 3:52and perform a detailed address check.
  109. 3:56You know, it's going to be modified to
  110. 3:57achieve a match.
  111. 4:00Um
  112. 4:02Um so this is FedEx telling me that they
  113. 4:05don't recognize an apartment number.
  114. 4:08But
  115. 4:09let's say you do have like a a valid
  116. 4:11apartment. And I've tried it with
  117. 4:12apartments. It's and you mess with jigs
  118. 4:15with that, it's going to return
  119. 4:18a a valid response even with jigging, I
  120. 4:21found.
  121. 4:22So I would play around with this. I
  122. 4:24found pretty successful with line two
  123. 4:27um jigging and FedEx returns a a
  124. 4:29validation for that.
  125. 4:31And
  126. 4:33in return I found that to be pretty
  127. 4:35successful
  128. 4:36with
  129. 4:38my checkouts.
  130. 4:39And um on a related note with that, um
  131. 4:43that's like FedEx's tool. Um UPS has the
  132. 4:46same type a similar tool. USPS has a
  133. 4:49similar tool.
  134. 4:50If you were just to Google, you know,
  135. 4:51UPS address validation, UPS address
  136. 4:53validation, blah blah blah, they all
  137. 4:55exist.
  138. 4:56Um and then furthermore, like let's say
  139. 4:58you're looking at a site like Target.
  140. 5:01When you go in and put your address on
  141. 5:02Target, you have something similar pop
  142. 5:04up, you know, like the use suggested
  143. 5:06address box.
  144. 5:07>> [snorts]
  145. 5:08>> Ultimately, the best jigs are going to
  146. 5:09be a jig that doesn't pull that
  147. 5:12suggested address box up.
  148. 5:15Which means it thinks it's, you know, a
  149. 5:17brand new address, not a you just [ __ ]
  150. 5:19up your address address.
  151. 5:21So just kind of a broad more of a broad
  152. 5:26expansion on that thought process there.
  153. 5:28That's a a great tool, Mr. Noah.
  154. 5:31Thank you, and yes, is my audio still
  155. 5:32coming out okay? Yeah. Yep. Perfecto. Um
  156. 5:37and you know, this tool is not super all
  157. 5:38inclusive of
  158. 5:40Look at the few of you have used jigs in
  159. 5:43line one. And I don't know if FedEx
  160. 5:45would validate as like a invalid
  161. 5:47address, but it would work before
  162. 5:49Pokemon Center. So, this is just one
  163. 5:51approach
  164. 5:52that you can use to increase the
  165. 5:54success.
  166. 5:56Um so, that was
  167. 5:58just a brief overview as well as example
  168. 6:01I created.
  169. 6:02Um
  170. 6:04you know, at least for me
  171. 6:05I for my personal setup
  172. 6:08I run basically all hard cards at the
  173. 6:10moment. So, across Chase,
  174. 6:13Discover, Bank of America.
  175. 6:15And
  176. 6:17I
  177. 6:18given that it's, you know, a hard card,
  178. 6:20I use all real info.
  179. 6:22And so, I I actually have my
  180. 6:24>> [clears throat]
  181. 6:24>> first and last name the same.
  182. 6:26I have
  183. 6:27um
  184. 6:29you know, I keep real emails, emails on
  185. 6:30iCloud.
  186. 6:32And I use fake phone numbers, and it's
  187. 6:33been
  188. 6:34pretty good. So,
  189. 6:35at least from my understanding, they
  190. 6:36don't validate based off the names we
  191. 6:39use. It's really
  192. 6:41the main factor is just the address as
  193. 6:43well as the payment cards.
  194. 6:45Um
  195. 6:47>> [snorts]
  196. 6:47>> As a rule of thumb on my profiles with
  197. 6:50just on the name thing while it's fresh
  198. 6:52in my head,
  199. 6:54um I always use my real last name. I use
  200. 6:57a different first name.
  201. 6:59Because one of the things like, you
  202. 7:01know, every site has its different way
  203. 7:02of checking, you know, fraud and things
  204. 7:04they can look for and they're pretty
  205. 7:06much looking for you to, you know, pass
  206. 7:08a threshold.
  207. 7:10Um so, like not everything has to match,
  208. 7:12but one of the things they can look for
  209. 7:13is both a full and a partial name match
  210. 7:16to what's actually on the card. So,
  211. 7:20um I also find that using my real last
  212. 7:23name is uh just a kind thing to do to my
  213. 7:25drivers and makes
  214. 7:27um them finding my address a lot easier.
  215. 7:30So, sorry to interrupt.
  216. 7:31>> Definitely agree. No, I love the the
  217. 7:33commentary.
  218. 7:34Um yeah, to piggyback off that, you
  219. 7:36know, yep, the payment the bank looks
  220. 7:39for your names if it matches.
  221. 7:41It looks for your first
  222. 7:43your line one if it matches. They don't
  223. 7:45care about the line two.
  224. 7:47And they care about, you know, zip code
  225. 7:49and city. They look at all those items.
  226. 7:52Um
  227. 7:55Let's see.
  228. 7:57Guys going with this.
  229. 7:59I guess recently, so I recently opened
  230. 8:01up a Chase Ink card. And so, I kept the
  231. 8:04same jig that's been working with my
  232. 8:06other cards, the same like name, the
  233. 8:09same type of email,
  234. 8:11the same format of jigging, and it
  235. 8:13actually declined initially.
  236. 8:15And so, where I'm going with this is I
  237. 8:18kept the same standardized jig across
  238. 8:20all my addresses, and I know it works.
  239. 8:23But I know that since [clears throat]
  240. 8:25the
  241. 8:26profile declined, it was
  242. 8:27it was payment-related.
  243. 8:30And
  244. 8:31you know, I'm still working through
  245. 8:33business credit cards and
  246. 8:35the validity of it, but it's pretty
  247. 8:38interesting when I found out that a card
  248. 8:39I've never used before
  249. 8:41got a payment declined, but I understand
  250. 8:44it's not because of my address. It's
  251. 8:46potentially because of the BIN or
  252. 8:48um maybe how new the card is.
  253. 8:51Um
  254. 8:54I guess one thing I wanted to touch on
  255. 8:55was,
  256. 8:56you know, when I
  257. 8:59purchased a lot of items
  258. 9:01across all my cards for us the Sentetik
  259. 9:03Heroes drop, I used, you know, loop
  260. 9:05checkout and auto go to rotate profiles
  261. 9:09with this hidden AIO.
  262. 9:11And I noticed over time
  263. 9:14those same profiles that were working
  264. 9:16got declined, and I know a lot of people
  265. 9:19can resonate with this.
  266. 9:21And
  267. 9:22I feel like my hypothesis at this point
  268. 9:24is
  269. 9:25that
  270. 9:27it's flagging the amount of declines I'm
  271. 9:29getting with these profiles.
  272. 9:31And, you know, it keeps looping the
  273. 9:32checkout and auto rotate even if you
  274. 9:34checked out with the profile already.
  275. 9:37And so, I guess my
  276. 9:39best course of action right now is to
  277. 9:41rest those profiles at the moment.
  278. 9:43So, I can comment on that. And I I was
  279. 9:45going to talk I was going to touch on it
  280. 9:47a little more at the end after you got
  281. 9:48on profiles.
  282. 9:49So, in addition to
  283. 9:52um
  284. 9:52you know, the profile itself and it's
  285. 9:54part of what makes Pokémon Center so
  286. 9:55frustrating, in addition to the profile
  287. 9:57itself causing the decline,
  288. 10:00it can also be several other things
  289. 10:02related to
  290. 10:03um
  291. 10:04what's referred to basically as
  292. 10:05velocity, which means like how how many
  293. 10:07how many attempts um
  294. 10:10that can be on the IP being used, that
  295. 10:12can be on how many
  296. 10:14um checkout attempts the the card has
  297. 10:17had in the past X amount of time. So,
  298. 10:19it's not even just that drop, it can be
  299. 10:22you know, in the last 2 weeks, it can be
  300. 10:24you know, on all that.
  301. 10:25Um
  302. 10:26so, there is also a velocity component,
  303. 10:29you know, that comes into play, you
  304. 10:30know, with with both the proxies
  305. 10:33um
  306. 10:35and you know, the profile itself.
  307. 10:38Um and in addition to that, and I can't
  308. 10:41really
  309. 10:42necessarily prove this, but I've been
  310. 10:44running Poké Pokémon Center for so
  311. 10:47[ __ ] long now and just seen so much
  312. 10:49evidence on my side, I hold this to be
  313. 10:51true,
  314. 10:52but I believe there's there's periods of
  315. 10:54time where the the payment processor is
  316. 10:57just basically flat out denying
  317. 10:58everything. It has zero zero to do with
  318. 11:01anything
  319. 11:02on [snorts] your end. Um
  320. 11:04I don't know if you guys have also
  321. 11:05noticed, but checkouts come in waves.
  322. 11:08And then there'll just be a chunk of
  323. 11:10time where there's like no
  324. 11:13no checkouts at all,
  325. 11:14you know, on and then you'll just get a
  326. 11:16ton more checkouts, you know, though
  327. 11:18you'll get two or three at once.
  328. 11:20And then you'll get decision manner for
  329. 11:2120 minutes. And then you'll get you
  330. 11:22know, you get what I'm saying?
  331. 11:24So, I think I think there are some
  332. 11:26components outside of it that make
  333. 11:27diagnosing this frustrating, so I don't
  334. 11:31when looking at a profile and, you know,
  335. 11:34determining if it's good, bad, whatever,
  336. 11:36I wouldn't necessarily look at like
  337. 11:39it not working one time, you know,
  338. 11:43as a bad thing. You've probably even
  339. 11:45seen a profile get, you know,
  340. 11:47decision manager and then the same drop
  341. 11:49at checkout, you know, 10 minutes later.
  342. 11:52It's just it's it's a goofy site that
  343. 11:54makes, you know, these things very very
  344. 11:56very hard to diagnose.
  345. 11:58>> [snorts]
  346. 11:59>> Mhm.
  347. 12:00Yeah, completely agree. Like
  348. 12:02drop dependent, you know, keep trying
  349. 12:04across different types of drops.
  350. 12:06Um you know, try to keep at least one
  351. 12:08variable
  352. 12:10and keep the rest consistent. Um
  353. 12:13So,
  354. 12:16I guess I I dumped a lot of info.
  355. 12:18I want to take a quick pause for
  356. 12:20questions.
  357. 12:25>> [snorts]
  358. 12:26>> So, I got a question actually.
  359. 12:29Yeah.
  360. 12:30So, today I noticed when signing up for
  361. 12:34uh sorry,
  362. 12:35uh when signing up for this One Piece
  363. 12:36drop that's happening on Monday, right?
  364. 12:38To to basically reset the profiles on
  365. 12:40the website itself,
  366. 12:42the the book website,
  367. 12:44I'm using Amex employee hard cards right
  368. 12:46now.
  369. 12:47And
  370. 12:50It's not for some reason it wouldn't
  371. 12:53accept Like so, my understanding is Amex
  372. 12:57doesn't care about billing and shipping
  373. 12:58and I keep it all the same. So, if I
  374. 13:02set up
  375. 13:03a physical address somewhere and I jig
  376. 13:05it 10 times, it's not the actual billing
  377. 13:07address that was set up with the Amex.
  378. 13:11Um
  379. 13:12today when I was signing up for that for
  380. 13:14that
  381. 13:15One Piece book website, I was inputting
  382. 13:18those cards with the addresses that I
  383. 13:20have, whether it's physical or a little
  384. 13:22bit jigged,
  385. 13:23it wasn't accepting the
  386. 13:25the credit card. It just kept
  387. 13:27denying and I checked the card and I saw
  388. 13:29that it would charge the card $1 and
  389. 13:31then refund the $1.
  390. 13:33Then I actually put that same card in
  391. 13:35with the actual billing address that was
  392. 13:38signed up with the Amex card and it
  393. 13:40accepted it.
  394. 13:42Which makes me think that
  395. 13:44billing does have like there is some
  396. 13:46sort of rule with billing and and item
  397. 13:48demand on some of these
  398. 13:49>> So let's
  399. 13:50let's keep
  400. 13:52unrelated questions to the end, please,
  401. 13:54cuz there are a lot of people here and
  402. 13:55they're only here to to listen to that
  403. 13:58specific thing. So let's try and
  404. 14:01try and keep unrelated stuff um
  405. 14:05until the end once like all what's Q&A
  406. 14:08with Noah's is wrapped up. But it is
  407. 14:11semi-related, so to to give a quick
  408. 14:13answer to your questions,
  409. 14:15there's
  410. 14:16basically two sides to the to the
  411. 14:19equation.
  412. 14:20Um
  413. 14:21there's the merchant and then there's
  414. 14:23Amex.
  415. 14:24Amex doesn't give a [ __ ] what you use.
  416. 14:27They do not give a single [ __ ] You
  417. 14:28could send it to Dingleberry Smith in
  418. 14:31[ __ ] Antarctica and Amex would be
  419. 14:34okay, sweet.
  420. 14:36Now, does the merchant care?
  421. 14:39I see. The merchant it goes back to, you
  422. 14:41know, the the fraud thing I'm checking
  423. 14:43for earlier. You know, they they send
  424. 14:45the information to Amex. Does it match
  425. 14:47XYZ on Amex's, you know, side? And then
  426. 14:51Amex sends back, you know, a reply, you
  427. 14:53know,
  428. 14:54partial name on partial [clears throat]
  429. 14:56match on the name, you know, zip code on
  430. 14:58the address doesn't match. It it sends
  431. 15:00back that. It's not sending back, you
  432. 15:02know,
  433. 15:03oh, no, his name is actually this and
  434. 15:05his address is actually this. It's just
  435. 15:07sending back
  436. 15:09uh you know, I see what you're saying.
  437. 15:11So each side is basically has its own
  438. 15:12basic verification for the billing.
  439. 15:14Yeah, and they can, you know, turn it,
  440. 15:16you know, up and down, you know, and
  441. 15:19you know, on a drop and as you know,
  442. 15:21more site security, I'm sure you know,
  443. 15:22AI has
  444. 15:24has a whole thing where uh you know,
  445. 15:28as a site seeing more traffic, you know,
  446. 15:30it gets it gets harder to push orders
  447. 15:33through and stuff like that.
  448. 15:35You know, I I do also believe that it's
  449. 15:37easier to check out earlier on Pokémon
  450. 15:39Center than it is later in the drop.
  451. 15:42At least it used to be. At this point,
  452. 15:44the [ __ ] site gets slammed with a
  453. 15:45bazillion tasks, you know, auto
  454. 15:47starting, so
  455. 15:51Yeah. Hey Anews, can I say something? I
  456. 15:52know you guys talked about cards. Um
  457. 15:55uh something that's worked for me is if
  458. 15:56you have unused privacy cards that are
  459. 15:59Visas that are old, they don't really
  460. 16:01make the Visas anymore. It's usually
  461. 16:02Mastercard. [snorts]
  462. 16:03Uh I've never had decision manager on
  463. 16:06those almost ever.
  464. 16:08Yeah.
  465. 16:09Yeah, I mean, there there's probably
  466. 16:10merit to that. I haven't personally
  467. 16:12tried that, but
  468. 16:14Yeah, I I use one almost Oh, I use a
  469. 16:16bunch actually every drop. I wish I had
  470. 16:17more, but uh
  471. 16:19yeah, that's something that if anyone
  472. 16:20has any, you should really try it. Yeah,
  473. 16:22and Privacy doesn't give a [ __ ] what you
  474. 16:24use.
  475. 16:25But yeah, it's got to be old Visa ones.
  476. 16:27In general, cards really, they don't
  477. 16:29care what you use. It's It's just It's
  478. 16:31really on the
  479. 16:33the merchant side.
  480. 16:34>> I get I get declined on Mastercards
  481. 16:36every time. I mean, I don't know if
  482. 16:37anyone else for the VCCs, but uh well,
  483. 16:40just for Privacy in general, but the old
  484. 16:42Visa ones, I use them almost every drop
  485. 16:44and they check out.
  486. 16:46Yeah.
  487. 16:47Yeah, I have like one Visa card from
  488. 16:492020 from Privacy that works.
  489. 16:51>> I went through them and I had so many
  490. 16:54with that I like entered like one thing
  491. 16:55on them. I'm like, [ __ ] I wish I had
  492. 16:56more, dude, but I have like 20 of them
  493. 16:58that I use all the time.
  494. 17:01Um okay, so Primetime, any questions?
  495. 17:04Try another Play card.
  496. 17:07Yeah, like Primetime, just try another
  497. 17:09card. You know, sometimes it's just it's
  498. 17:12it's goofy. I mean, there's not
  499. 17:15but
  500. 17:17Yes.
  501. 17:17>> [clears throat]
  502. 17:17>> Um did
  503. 17:18>> Z. oh, you want to go ahead? No, no, I
  504. 17:20was just going to ask if anyone had any
  505. 17:21other questions before
  506. 17:23um
  507. 17:24we got got moving along.
  508. 17:26It looks like somebody in chat said what
  509. 17:28first line jakes do you see working more
  510. 17:30and more for Pokémon Center?
  511. 17:32So
  512. 17:33I personally haven't um
  513. 17:36experimented as much with line one jakes
  514. 17:38as I have done for line two jakes.
  515. 17:41From what I've seen
  516. 17:42working with the community here
  517. 17:45I've noticed
  518. 17:46um
  519. 17:48Let's let's say something is like
  520. 17:53North like 600 North Street.
  521. 17:55Somebody somebody is like having two two
  522. 17:59Os instead of one O O for North.
  523. 18:02And I've seen that working for Pokémon
  524. 18:04Center.
  525. 18:07So that's I I guess that's one type of
  526. 18:09jig I've seen
  527. 18:10working well for people. That's
  528. 18:12something you could try out. I I use
  529. 18:14simple I use simple three letter two and
  530. 18:16three letter jakes and I mean they work
  531. 18:18for me just fine. I mean I get a
  532. 18:20bazillion item mans but
  533. 18:23I I brute force enough to where it works
  534. 18:25for me.
  535. 18:27Um other ideas you can try
  536. 18:30is like let's say you live on you know
  537. 18:33North Hidden Street.
  538. 18:35You know in the same zip code as yours
  539. 18:37is there a South Hidden Street? If not,
  540. 18:39you could try South Hidden Street.
  541. 18:42There's a good chance your mailman's
  542. 18:43like smart enough to be like oh, he just
  543. 18:45[ __ ] up you know the North South.
  544. 18:48You know stuff like that and that's
  545. 18:50going to look like obviously you know a
  546. 18:51brand new you know a completely
  547. 18:53different address but your mailman's
  548. 18:55still going to
  549. 18:56be able to get it to you.
  550. 19:03Some third party said
  551. 19:04>> [snorts]
  552. 19:05>> go ahead. Yeah, one more questions then
  553. 19:06we generally speaking like what is there
  554. 19:10I think
  555. 19:11too jakes for one address that you could
  556. 19:13kind of say it's
  557. 19:15overkill.
  558. 19:17No. Is there like
  559. 19:20I haven't seen a max yet. I think when
  560. 19:21it comes to if you find a jig that
  561. 19:23works, that becomes a
  562. 19:25a payment method scalability.
  563. 19:29Yep.
  564. 19:30>> So you
  565. 19:31you basically just you'll
  566. 19:33use as many profiles as you can if one
  567. 19:35jig works for [snorts] one address.
  568. 19:36>> I mean, I have one address and I I mean,
  569. 19:38I've I I had until before cancels, I had
  570. 19:4224 orders on you know, a Sneaker Hero
  571. 19:44ETBs. They canceled all of them, but
  572. 19:47I have no idea, you know, what
  573. 19:50what's really the cause of that. I
  574. 19:51haven't really stressed myself out about
  575. 19:53it. I'm definitely not happy, but
  576. 19:56Yeah. Yeah, I'm just curious if like you
  577. 19:58have like 200 [snorts]
  578. 20:00you know, profiles I do.
  579. 20:02>> one address one jig. Yeah, I do. Yeah.
  580. 20:04I understand.
  581. 20:05But I But I mean, I rotate them. You
  582. 20:07know, like I was saying earlier, I
  583. 20:08constantly just add in some like new
  584. 20:09profiles every here and there.
  585. 20:12Um
  586. 20:14you know, I I have hundreds of profiles
  587. 20:17cuz I I I'll run, you know,
  588. 20:20you know, one set of my proxies and one
  589. 20:22one set of profiles, you know, one drop
  590. 20:24and then the next drop I'll run the next
  591. 20:26and you know, to try and keep down those
  592. 20:28velocity metrics.
  593. 20:31But all to one address, just jig
  594. 20:32different ways essentially. Mhm.
  595. 20:34>> And I I mean, Pokémon Center's way
  596. 20:37better scaled horizontally, which means
  597. 20:38more addresses, but you know, that's
  598. 20:41really not that feasible for me. My I'm
  599. 20:44My friends are all in their late 30s and
  600. 20:45married and their wives want nothing to
  601. 20:47do with packages showing up at their
  602. 20:48house.
  603. 20:49Right.
  604. 20:52Hey, uh
  605. 20:54hey, Noah, are you news? Did you guys go
  606. 20:55over uh line two jigs? Like or just as
  607. 20:58in general? I'm I came in like 4 minutes
  608. 21:00late.
  609. 21:01Uh not yet. So, at the end of the
  610. 21:03session, if you guys stay, I'm going to
  611. 21:05show you what what I use for my line two
  612. 21:07jigs
  613. 21:08as a size. So
  614. 21:09>> thank you. Yeah, let's just keep it
  615. 21:11moving. Let's go to the next next topic.
  616. 21:13I feel like a lot of this will just get
  617. 21:14answered. Um
  618. 21:15like this isn't the end. Like let's just
  619. 21:17keep moving on and I feel like a lot of
  620. 21:19this will
  621. 21:20um get answered. So
  622. 21:23Yeah, so I know some people have some
  623. 21:25questions. I'll leave that to the end.
  624. 21:27Um
  625. 21:30Can somebody provide me an apartment
  626. 21:32address? It could be like any random
  627. 21:34apartment address.
  628. 21:35Just has to be valid. Uh For this
  629. 21:38123
  630. 21:41North Hidden Street, apartment one.
  631. 21:47Uh
  632. 21:48Oh, like a
  633. 21:49Real real, yeah.
  634. 21:51Yeah, I mean you just make whatever up.
  635. 21:54Um
  636. 21:56I'll give you one. Give me one second.
  637. 22:03The reason I'm asking uh a real address
  638. 22:05is I want to show you
  639. 22:07>> Oh, you wanted a real one. the valid
  640. 22:09FedEx tool. It's going to show
  641. 22:11with the jig that it's going to show up
  642. 22:12as valid. So I got you.
  643. 22:15I got one.
  644. 22:16It's on Manhattan.
  645. 22:20Can you uh post it in chat?
  646. 22:23I just sent one in chat. Yeah.
  647. 22:26Okay.
  648. 22:30I'll put it in the TCG
  649. 22:32Sorry, I didn't realize you needed a a
  650. 22:34real one.
  651. 22:36That's okay.
  652. 22:37There's a real one TCG chat.
  653. 22:39Cool. Thank you. I can try
  654. 22:42some multiple examples for the the team.
  655. 22:46That's okay.
  656. 22:59Yeah, so let's say I live here 120
  657. 23:00George Street, you know, apartment 514.
  658. 23:03Um
  659. 23:07No formal detailed address check. And
  660. 23:10so, FedEx is going to return with Yeah.
  661. 23:12you know, what it's going to see
  662. 23:15on their side.
  663. 23:16And so, if I wanted to just use real
  664. 23:18information, I would just copy Mhm,
  665. 23:20okay.
  666. 23:20>> this this info.
  667. 23:26Okay. This is just a visual glitch, but
  668. 23:28essentially it'd be Mhm.
  669. 23:30this and and that.
  670. 23:32Let's say I wanted to jig this address.
  671. 23:34So, what I do is a simple one letter
  672. 23:36jig.
  673. 23:36>> Okay.
  674. 23:38I do this.
  675. 23:43And so, right now Got you. despite what
  676. 23:46you know, what FedEx is saying, it's
  677. 23:48saying this address is valid. So,
  678. 23:49whatever I put here
  679. 23:51FedEx told me that
  680. 23:53>> this is valid. So, I've I've scaled this
  681. 23:55to
  682. 23:57>> nine addresses. Okay, got you. You know,
  683. 23:59in that city zeros drop, I
  684. 24:01Thanks.
  685. 24:02>> to get full checkouts
  686. 24:05and no cancellations. So,
  687. 24:08that's my little sauce you can try out
  688. 24:10for your own profiles, but
  689. 24:12you can scale it across
  690. 24:14you know, 514A to 514Z across different
  691. 24:17multiple payment methods.
  692. 24:20I mean, I use all hard cards and a
  693. 24:22couple of VCCs
  694. 24:23for this.
  695. 24:25And that's what I typically use.
  696. 24:32What if no apartment, does it still
  697. 24:33work?
  698. 24:36It So, if the address is not originally
  699. 24:39an apartment address, it
  700. 24:41Well,
  701. 24:46if it's not originally an apartment
  702. 24:48address, it's not it's going to be FedEx
  703. 24:49is going to say that's not a a valid
  704. 24:51apartment. So, it's going to say
  705. 24:53invalid.
  706. 24:54But, if you just wanted to
  707. 24:57you know, just ship it to the line. You
  708. 25:00can also ship it to the line without any
  709. 25:02apartment.
  710. 25:03And it's going to come up as valid, too.
  711. 25:04That's one of
  712. 25:06our profiles. I just have the line item
  713. 25:09and no apartment.
  714. 25:17And what if apartment's a letter? So, I
  715. 25:19would I would experiment with, you know,
  716. 25:21a apartment A1, A2. Just very simple
  717. 25:25um
  718. 25:27letters or numbers.
  719. 25:36I don't
  720. 25:36know if you can see this.
  721. 25:39Let's do that address.
  722. 26:18Yes, it's going to correct, you know,
  723. 26:19what FedEx
  724. 26:20thinks it's
  725. 26:22valid on their end. I correct it. Um for
  726. 26:24some reason there's a
  727. 26:26But that was a visual glitch, but you
  728. 26:28get the idea. It corrected the zip code
  729. 26:30to make it extended
  730. 26:32as well as, you know, clearing the
  731. 26:34formatting up.
  732. 26:36Um
  733. 26:39I'm curious if I add like an additional
  734. 26:40letter,
  735. 26:41it's going to come up as valid.
  736. 26:45Yeah, this tool is really useful.
  737. 26:52I think it was an easy one.
  738. 26:58>> Mhm, that's good.
  739. 27:09Yes, if I was you I would experiment
  740. 27:10with the numbers and letters.
  741. 27:15It makes it a little more difficult
  742. 27:16since there's both letters and numbers
  743. 27:18on this.
  744. 27:19But
  745. 27:20I would experiment around.
  746. 27:27Yes.
  747. 27:28I need you to write something over here.
  748. 27:29My wife.
  749. 27:36You need a FedEx account to use that for
  750. 27:37this, right?
  751. 27:40Oh, [ __ ]
  752. 27:49I just Is somebody talking? Yeah, I just
  753. 27:52muted him.
  754. 27:54>> [clears throat]
  755. 27:54>> I just muted him. Am I Q?
  756. 27:57Am I Q? Mute your mic, bro, please. He's
  757. 28:01He's I muted him. I muted him. He's
  758. 28:03good. He He had a wife or significant
  759. 28:05other or child come in the room. It did
  760. 28:06happen. He's father, husband, care. That
  761. 28:09happens. Yeah, yeah, of course. Of
  762. 28:10course.
  763. 28:12Sorry about that, guys.
  764. 28:18Uh
  765. 28:19Let's see.
  766. 28:25Yeah, Don Pablo, yep, I use the site to
  767. 28:27check if this is a Jake works.
  768. 28:30Um specifically line two Jakes.
  769. 28:32Um
  770. 28:36>> [clears throat]
  771. 28:45>> Yeah, no cash card, so what I do is I
  772. 28:47keep billing and shipping the same, you
  773. 28:49know, from a
  774. 28:50payment perspective. If you see a lot of
  775. 28:52people
  776. 28:53If you see some If you see like a
  777. 28:54customer
  778. 28:55using multiple different shipping
  779. 28:57addresses for the same billing profile,
  780. 28:59I would consider that a flag. Um
  781. 29:02especially since
  782. 29:04you know, still looking at household
  783. 29:06activity and making sure each person
  784. 29:08has, you know, one household.
  785. 29:11I would keep it the same if possible.
  786. 29:18Michael J, so
  787. 29:21you want the zip code, at least for hard
  788. 29:23cards, you want the zip code to be the
  789. 29:24same. You want the first line to be the
  790. 29:26same
  791. 29:27and the name to be the same.
  792. 29:29You know, when you're looking at virtual
  793. 29:30card card providers, it changes.
  794. 29:33But for hard cards, that's what I do.
  795. 29:37When When you say you want
  796. 29:39it to be the same, the same to the as
  797. 29:40the shipping, right?
  798. 29:44Um
  799. 29:48Yes.
  800. 29:53I mean, I'm new to US bottom, so if
  801. 29:56you're doing something like Pokémon
  802. 29:58Center, right, in the US,
  803. 30:00but it Do they filter by zip code?
  804. 30:04Or is it
  805. 30:06Cuz I know some people jig and if their
  806. 30:07zip code's the same on two orders,
  807. 30:09that's it. The whole Whatever orders
  808. 30:12clipped. Um Well, that's how I got my
  809. 30:15main address clipped, so is it the same
  810. 30:17in the US?
  811. 30:20No, no.
  812. 30:23Oh. Yeah. You know, if it's
  813. 30:26You're saying like if it's the same zip
  814. 30:27code across two orders,
  815. 30:30They're not clipping They're not
  816. 30:31clipping zip codes like it's [ __ ]
  817. 30:32Yeezy Supply. No.
  818. 30:33>> I'm I'm
  819. 30:35genuinely I'm pretty sure I clipped my
  820. 30:37zip code.
  821. 30:38Like that's how
  822. 30:40I got my Pokémon Center stuff clipped.
  823. 30:42They're not going to deny you at least.
  824. 30:44They're not going to deny
  825. 30:47thousands and thousands and thousands of
  826. 30:48potential customers just because of one
  827. 30:51[ __ ] like that.
  828. 30:53Just no.
  829. 30:56I mean the way it worked in the EU is
  830. 30:58your zip code only every other address
  831. 31:01>> this for the end. Let's save this for
  832. 31:02the end so the people who are here for
  833. 31:04Pokémon Center can get what they're here
  834. 31:05for.
  835. 31:07Yeah. Appreciate the question though. Um
  836. 31:10Paven, yeah, you can you can uh try it
  837. 31:11on UPS. You know, FedEx uses the USPS
  838. 31:13database. And that's shared across UPS
  839. 31:16and FedEx, so
  840. 31:18um it's going to be valid across
  841. 31:21you know, all shipping. That's why I
  842. 31:22also use this for you know, Sam's Club
  843. 31:24and Costco.
  844. 31:27Or some other sites.
  845. 31:32Um
  846. 31:44Let's see. It should generally be the
  847. 31:45same across them, Paven Pavan. I'm
  848. 31:48sorry, I don't know how to pronounce it.
  849. 31:49Um
  850. 31:50It should generally be the same across
  851. 31:51them, but it wouldn't hurt to
  852. 31:55to use what shipping courier generally
  853. 31:58ships for you.
  854. 32:11I don't think there's another city
  855. 32:12associated with this address.
  856. 32:16There's a There's the
  857. 32:19a thousands of zip codes in the US,
  858. 32:21Burb. Thousands.
  859. 32:25There's like three or four in my town.
  860. 32:44>> 2406 message drive, Bakersfield,
  861. 32:48California.
  862. 32:49No, I already said no to that question,
  863. 32:51verb.
  864. 32:54It is no.
  865. 32:56They're not banning zip codes like they
  866. 32:58do on Yeezy Supply. It's just a simple
  867. 33:00flat out
  868. 33:03no.
  869. 33:10Oh, is the stream full? And I just found
  870. 33:13out. Let me see, is there a way I can
  871. 33:15make it bigger?
  872. 33:21All right.
  873. 33:22Um
  874. 33:24Yeah, no dark flame master. For some
  875. 33:26reason this
  876. 33:28repopulated to New Jersey.
  877. 33:29>> Video chat isn't available for more than
  878. 33:41Yeah, so in this case I would just
  879. 33:43as a simple change, just change the zip
  880. 33:45code, and it just makes it increases
  881. 33:47your chances to get a checkout. Cuz this
  882. 33:51is how USPS formats, this is how FedEx
  883. 33:53formats.
  884. 33:54So,
  885. 33:55less likely to require flag.
  886. 33:57Um if you were having if you were having
  887. 33:59trouble watching, I just shared my
  888. 34:02screens of
  889. 34:04his screen so that
  890. 34:07it works. I think there's a 25 max limit
  891. 34:09on viewing a stream, so sorry about
  892. 34:11that. That should be fixed, though. Just
  893. 34:12watch me.
  894. 34:14Yeah, sorry, guys.
  895. 34:17>> [snorts]
  896. 34:17>> Yes, if I had to do line one jakes, I
  897. 34:19know some people experiment with um
  898. 34:23Let me make it bigger.
  899. 34:24>> increasing the letter count like two
  900. 34:25e's, two s's.
  901. 34:29Or like what what In-N-Out says, he does
  902. 34:31like a simple
  903. 34:33you know three letter jig here.
  904. 34:38I [clears throat] do it all over the
  905. 34:39place. I do it both before the numbers,
  906. 34:41between the numbers in the address, and
  907. 34:43then all the way at the end. And doing
  908. 34:44all the way at the end is pretty much
  909. 34:45the same as doing it in a apartment
  910. 34:46number, but
  911. 34:48Mhm.
  912. 34:49Yeah, so
  913. 34:50experiment with those approaches and if
  914. 34:53you find one that really works,
  915. 34:55then select that one only and just scale
  916. 34:58it. And then Another one that which you
  917. 35:01can't really scale too much is you can
  918. 35:03look at doing stuff like if you live on
  919. 35:05North Hidden Street, um
  920. 35:07you know, is there a South Hidden Street
  921. 35:09or an East or a West Hidden Street
  922. 35:12um in the same
  923. 35:14you know, zip code. If not, then you can
  924. 35:16probably use, you know, the East, South,
  925. 35:18or West, you know,
  926. 35:20version.
  927. 35:21And I think once you start doing [ __ ]
  928. 35:23like that is when it comes in really
  929. 35:24helpful to be using your real last name
  930. 35:26cuz your postal carrier is going to look
  931. 35:28at that and be like
  932. 35:30Oh, like I know that fool. He actually
  933. 35:32lives on North, you know, Hidden Street,
  934. 35:34blah blah blah blah blah.
  935. 35:35>> [snorts]
  936. 35:36>> Um you can do like slight misspellings,
  937. 35:40you know, to where it
  938. 35:42you know, your carrier should be
  939. 35:44intelligent enough to get there, but it
  940. 35:46looks like a different address.
  941. 35:48So, instead of like Hidden, H I D D E N,
  942. 35:51you could do like, you know, Huddin, H U
  943. 35:55D D, you know, E N, which still looks
  944. 35:57like it can be a, you know, a real
  945. 35:59street name.
  946. 36:00It's not going to pull up valid, you
  947. 36:02know, in the address validator tool,
  948. 36:04um but [ __ ] like that does work.
  949. 36:08>> [snorts]
  950. 36:09>> So,
  951. 36:11you just got to you just got to
  952. 36:12experiment once you start, you know,
  953. 36:14getting off the wall with the jigs on
  954. 36:16what's actually going to get get through
  955. 36:18for
  956. 36:20um your situation.
  957. 36:22So, I do all sorts of stuff like that. I
  958. 36:24don't really mess with line two too much
  959. 36:26cuz I'm in an apartment.
  960. 36:28Mhm. Yeah, so yeah, different
  961. 36:29approaches.
  962. 36:32Um
  963. 36:36Yeah, when I think of like line one
  964. 36:37jakes and I get this message that says
  965. 36:39it was modified,
  966. 36:41I think of like
  967. 36:44I don't like a Pokémon center side. You
  968. 36:46have like two addresses
  969. 36:47that you Jake line one
  970. 36:49and their processor modifies it
  971. 36:54to match
  972. 36:55USPS.
  973. 36:59Sometimes they'll catch you, sometimes
  974. 37:01they won't, but
  975. 37:02at least from what I see some what I
  976. 37:04hypothesize from like a payment side,
  977. 37:06they're going to see like duplicates
  978. 37:08once they match like a Jake address like
  979. 37:10this
  980. 37:11to the actual address.
  981. 37:14But
  982. 37:19Nice.
  983. 37:22>> [snorts]
  984. 37:34>> Morning star says, "How do you feel
  985. 37:35about a Jake address line one?"
  986. 37:38Yeah, I would keep Jake to a minimum.
  987. 37:42Um
  988. 37:43the more you change to an address,
  989. 37:45the greater it's going to get flagged or
  990. 37:47even at a point where it becomes
  991. 37:48unreadable where the
  992. 37:51processor can't match it to an actual
  993. 37:52address.
  994. 37:54Um
  995. 37:55I would keep it minimal based on and use
  996. 37:57the suggestions.
  997. 38:10Yeah, at least for me quality over
  998. 38:11quantity.
  999. 38:12Um
  1000. 38:13that's why I only have like 10 profiles
  1001. 38:15that I'm actively using every drop.
  1002. 38:17Um
  1003. 38:19Taking out cards that get payment
  1004. 38:22declined and
  1005. 38:23you know, methodically looking at
  1006. 38:26did I keep the same address? Was it a
  1007. 38:28real address? What payment card did I
  1008. 38:30use? Was it a virtual card provider? You
  1009. 38:32know, VCCs
  1010. 38:34are more likely to get flagged than hard
  1011. 38:36cards.
  1012. 38:43And like someone mentioned, a privacy
  1013. 38:45old cards that works super well.
  1014. 38:47I've experimented in scaling across
  1015. 38:49different
  1016. 38:50privacy cards, like newer privacy cards
  1017. 38:52and
  1018. 38:53other privacy cards that were older and
  1019. 38:56I have got gotten payment declines with
  1020. 38:58decision managers.
  1021. 39:00So, experimenting with what works and
  1022. 39:03you know, not overboarding yourself with
  1023. 39:05it.
  1024. 39:22Yeah, for homes, Don Pablo, so I've I've
  1025. 39:25like I mentioned, I've seen people do
  1026. 39:27well with like adding an extra letter
  1027. 39:30or like InUse mentioned
  1028. 39:33some three-letter jigs across the
  1029. 39:34address.
  1030. 39:35But I'd really use a tool to experiment
  1031. 39:37what can work and what doesn't. You
  1032. 39:39know, I probably haven't looked at
  1033. 39:41everything
  1034. 39:42within this tool for homes.
  1035. 39:44>> [snorts]
  1036. 39:44>> And so you might be able to find
  1037. 39:45something that I
  1038. 39:46haven't.
  1039. 39:48And hopefully you can share with me so I
  1040. 39:49can scale.
  1041. 40:12Yeah, so for BGC again, you know, you
  1042. 40:13can you can
  1043. 40:15try out different I'll try different
  1044. 40:17methodologies like we mentioned and see
  1045. 40:19what sticks.
  1046. 40:20So different letters like extending a
  1047. 40:21letter by one,
  1048. 40:23you know.
  1049. 40:25Adding it in in different places like
  1050. 40:26this.
  1051. 40:28Um
  1052. 40:32Apartment jigs online too.
  1053. 40:35Yep.
  1054. 40:36Um
  1055. 40:37I've also been trying to experiment with
  1056. 40:39like
  1057. 40:41when you when you live in like in a huge
  1058. 40:43household,
  1059. 40:45you can add like an attention to
  1060. 40:46somebody.
  1061. 40:48So like attention to my name.
  1062. 40:50Um
  1063. 40:53Good [snorts] old Nike style jigs.
  1064. 40:56Yeah.
  1065. 41:00Yeah, so in this case this works. Um
  1066. 41:023406 Mesa Drive attention Noah. FedEx is
  1067. 41:05showing this as a valid address.
  1068. 41:07Um
  1069. 41:17Yeah.
  1070. 41:18I would refrain from using
  1071. 41:22considering a jig as like different like
  1072. 41:25saying drive to drive, stuff like this.
  1073. 41:27It's going to
  1074. 41:28at least from my view, it's going to
  1075. 41:30format into the USPS database of what
  1076. 41:32it's it's going to be.
  1077. 41:33>> Yeah, it's the same thing.
  1078. 41:34>> they're going to want any more more more
  1079. 41:36additions.
  1080. 41:37Yeah.
  1081. 41:43I think you're better off, you know, an
  1082. 41:45example of a line jig here too. Like
  1083. 41:47this, you know, just going back to like
  1084. 41:49really simple [ __ ] to where like you
  1085. 41:52know, a
  1086. 41:53a human might make the stupid mistake
  1087. 41:55of, you know, this is just 3406 Mesa
  1088. 41:58Drive, you know. He could probably put
  1089. 41:593406, you know, North Mesa Drive.
  1090. 42:03You know, something stupid, you know,
  1091. 42:05that you know, your grandma might put
  1092. 42:08because
  1093. 42:09she would.
  1094. 42:11>> [snorts]
  1095. 42:11>> You know, that it's it's experiment with
  1096. 42:14stuff like that.
  1097. 42:21Or if you you know, you do live on, you
  1098. 42:23know, let's say if it was North Mesa
  1099. 42:25Drive, you just did Mesa Drive.
  1100. 42:28You know, but your post office carrier
  1101. 42:29is going to
  1102. 42:31be smart enough to find it.
  1103. 42:33You just got to you know, kind of know
  1104. 42:35those things and maybe take a gamble
  1105. 42:38and hope it gets to the right place.
  1106. 42:40Once you start doing [ __ ] like that,
  1107. 42:45that's also again, I'll just repeat
  1108. 42:47again why I always use my real last
  1109. 42:49name, especially since I have a you
  1110. 42:51pretty unique last name.
  1111. 42:54They definitely know it's my [ __ ]
  1112. 43:00>> [snorts]
  1113. 43:12>> Yeah, I played around. This is
  1114. 43:14interesting actually. 3506 Mesa Drive,
  1115. 43:17you know,
  1116. 43:18sounds like experimenting with different
  1117. 43:19things.
  1118. 43:20I didn't think this would work honestly.
  1119. 43:22FD and it's saying it's valid.
  1120. 43:24Um
  1121. 43:26You know, there's different messages you
  1122. 43:27get with this. There is it gets
  1123. 43:29modified, which means they match it to
  1124. 43:32you know, an address they have on file
  1125. 43:34and they don't recognize an apartment
  1126. 43:35with that. Another one is it's they say
  1127. 43:38it's an invalid address. And so, if you
  1128. 43:40see that when you validate your
  1129. 43:41addresses, then
  1130. 43:42that's definitely not
  1131. 43:44a jig you should use. So, this is pretty
  1132. 43:46interesting.
  1133. 43:48Um
  1134. 43:51I might try this out for my own profiles
  1135. 43:52to see if it works.
  1136. 43:56And if it does, we do.
  1137. 44:03If you do apartments, see, it says it
  1138. 44:04gets modified. So,
  1139. 44:10>> [clears throat]
  1140. 44:21>> So essentially the goal of this FedEx
  1141. 44:22tool is to um
  1142. 44:24avoid the modification and try to have
  1143. 44:26it look seem like a unique address,
  1144. 44:28right? Mhm. Yeah, exactly. If um if I do
  1145. 44:32FedEx thinks it's good, then it's going
  1146. 44:34to significantly reduce the mod
  1147. 44:35decisions managers you get. That's like
  1148. 44:37one of the biggest components. Yeah.
  1149. 44:40Makes sense.
  1150. 44:50>> [snorts]
  1151. 44:50>> Cash Cardy, can you elaborate on that?
  1152. 44:52I don't really understand.
  1153. 44:55Yeah, I appreciate the comment Morning
  1154. 44:56Star, you know. That your comments
  1155. 45:00prompted me to try that out, so
  1156. 45:02that's another jig that I'll probably
  1157. 45:04experiment with FDSD.
  1158. 45:15Yeah, if I had to start from scratch,
  1159. 45:17you know, and only have one address, you
  1160. 45:19know, validate that the real info works
  1161. 45:21first with your cards
  1162. 45:23and then scale from there.
  1163. 45:25That way you can you have a constant,
  1164. 45:27which is your address. You know it
  1165. 45:29works, and then your variable is your
  1166. 45:32um payment methods. Excuse me.
  1167. 45:39I think we're fully in like the question
  1168. 45:41and answer portion at this point, so
  1169. 45:44um keep it to
  1170. 45:47Pokemon Center profile stuff at first,
  1171. 45:49and then once that seems all
  1172. 45:52wiped out, we can really well open up to
  1173. 45:54whatever from uh
  1174. 45:57from there. I just want to keep it
  1175. 45:58profile centric at first, cuz I know
  1176. 46:00there might be a lot of people here like
  1177. 46:02just for that and I don't want to waste
  1178. 46:03their time.
  1179. 46:08>> [snorts]
  1180. 46:09>> Let [clears throat] me get back to my
  1181. 46:10computer and off my ass.
  1182. 46:14I was eating some pizza.
  1183. 46:19>> [sighs]
  1184. 46:20>> two priorities
  1185. 46:22And this one it looks like to be a house
  1186. 46:24address
  1187. 46:26is my understanding. So
  1188. 46:28what I mentioned before I did like a FD
  1189. 46:30as a line two.
  1190. 46:33And it returned a
  1191. 46:37valid address. I'm not going to go any
  1192. 46:38more to this cuz I know I want people to
  1193. 46:40experiment themselves.
  1194. 46:43But this is something you can try out.
  1195. 46:47And then with the line two you can add
  1196. 46:48an additional letter to the apartment.
  1197. 46:53Has the info been helpful guys so far?
  1198. 46:56Or I'm just rambling.
  1199. 46:58No, it's good.
  1200. 47:01Actually a lot of good info.
  1201. 47:07Yeah, keep going with the questions. I
  1202. 47:08think we're going to keep this until
  1203. 47:09like 2:00.
  1204. 47:12Uh
  1205. 47:14With Pokemon Sun and Moon I know it's
  1206. 47:16kind of a toss-up but have you guys
  1207. 47:18noticed any more success for first line
  1208. 47:22or second line generic
  1209. 47:24or is it just a
  1210. 47:25gamble?
  1211. 47:27I really really do.
  1212. 47:29First anyway, so
  1213. 47:32Yeah, I can speak to line two cuz I live
  1214. 47:34in an apartment but
  1215. 47:36you know.
  1216. 47:40Yeah, [snorts] I'm in an apartment so I
  1217. 47:42got to keep it to line one.
  1218. 47:45So I don't really have a good comparison
  1219. 47:47between the two but
  1220. 47:49I mean
  1221. 47:51I don't think it really
  1222. 47:54I mean I think I think just doing both
  1223. 47:57is probably the best move.
  1224. 48:00You know, ultimately it doesn't it
  1225. 48:01doesn't matter if it's line one or line
  1226. 48:03two. It just matters if
  1227. 48:07you know, it seems like it's something
  1228. 48:08unique.
  1229. 48:10Yes.
  1230. 48:13>> [snorts]
  1231. 48:15>> And I know we have a lot of people um
  1232. 48:18It seems like the crowd's much bigger
  1233. 48:19than we have earlier. So, I just want to
  1234. 48:20reiterate
  1235. 48:22um something I said earlier about like
  1236. 48:25decision manager. Um it's not always
  1237. 48:28necessarily the profile.
  1238. 48:30So, before considering like a profile
  1239. 48:32bad, you know, I would you know
  1240. 48:35you know, give it a couple times before
  1241. 48:38you know, you toss it in the trash can.
  1242. 48:40Um
  1243. 48:42Pokemon Center looks at more than just
  1244. 48:44the profile when checking out.
  1245. 48:46Um there's a whole host of like
  1246. 48:48essentially velocity metrics, you know,
  1247. 48:51it
  1248. 48:51that can be, you know, how many times
  1249. 48:53has the IP tried to access, you know, or
  1250. 48:56tried to check out in
  1251. 48:58you know, whatever time period. You
  1252. 49:00know, how many times has this card tried
  1253. 49:02to check out in this time period. The
  1254. 49:03email, you know, it can really be a wide
  1255. 49:06range of things that, you know, are
  1256. 49:08actually causing that decline.
  1257. 49:11Um and this one is more just uh
  1258. 49:14I want to say more of a hypothesis, but
  1259. 49:17I've been running Poke Pokemon Center
  1260. 49:18long enough to where
  1261. 49:20I hold it to be true.
  1262. 49:22Um
  1263. 49:23The payment processor itself just has
  1264. 49:25chunks of time where it's rejecting
  1265. 49:28basically everything.
  1266. 49:30And it has nothing to do with your
  1267. 49:31profile. Um you guys have probably all
  1268. 49:34noticed anecdotally that
  1269. 49:37all noticed anecdotally that checkouts
  1270. 49:39seem to be coming in like bunches.
  1271. 49:41And then everything will get item demand
  1272. 49:43for a period of time.
  1273. 49:45And then you'll get a couple more
  1274. 49:46checkouts randomly within, you know, 30
  1275. 49:48seconds.
  1276. 49:50Um I don't believe that to be some like
  1277. 49:52random happenstance and I've been seeing
  1278. 49:54it happen for legitimately years now.
  1279. 49:58Um, [snorts] and you'll probably even
  1280. 49:59notice before where you'll have a
  1281. 50:01profile decline and then I'll check out
  1282. 50:02later in the drop.
  1283. 50:04So,
  1284. 50:05it's tricky to diagnose these type of
  1285. 50:08things.
  1286. 50:09So, really the that's the best I can say
  1287. 50:12there is, you know, don't always chalk
  1288. 50:13it up to
  1289. 50:15you know, always just the profile.
  1290. 50:18And [snorts] that's also sometimes why
  1291. 50:20people say resi's work better for them
  1292. 50:22because, you know, it eliminates that
  1293. 50:24match that velocity metric on the IP
  1294. 50:27address itself. So,
  1295. 50:29I think ISPs are a lot better. That's
  1296. 50:31not an endorsement to use resi's, but
  1297. 50:35you know, just some of the other factors
  1298. 50:36that are in play there.
  1299. 50:41Continuing.
  1300. 50:42Yeah, answer CashKarty's question. I
  1301. 50:44would say
  1302. 50:46uh, IDs with less less digits across
  1303. 50:48both lines are considered higher
  1304. 50:49quality.
  1305. 50:51Um, just because, like I said before,
  1306. 50:54um, the less you can
  1307. 50:56change away from the USPS's database,
  1308. 50:59comes of how they
  1309. 51:01um,
  1310. 51:03it comes of what they have in their
  1311. 51:05database, the better.
  1312. 51:14Yeah, unique phone numbers and emails
  1313. 51:16always one unique.
  1314. 51:17That's a given. And I do iCloud
  1315. 51:20and Gmail.
  1316. 51:24Do we discuss bank bins? No, not really.
  1317. 51:27I mean, I don't
  1318. 51:28I don't [clears throat] know if there's
  1319. 51:29really much to touch on with bank bins
  1320. 51:31besides,
  1321. 51:33um,
  1322. 51:34some some bins, the bin is like the
  1323. 51:38first, um, like five digits of your
  1324. 51:40credit card number, four or five, I
  1325. 51:41forget. I think it's five. I'd have to
  1326. 51:43Google it.
  1327. 51:45Um,
  1328. 51:47uh, is what's referred to as the bin of
  1329. 51:48your card. And some bins are just flat
  1330. 51:52out banned. Um that's also how retailers
  1331. 51:55can sometimes,
  1332. 51:56you know, determine they're not going to
  1333. 51:57allow VCCs. Like they know exactly,
  1334. 52:00you know, what the card is.
  1335. 52:03Um that's how your bot magically
  1336. 52:05sometimes, when you're putting your
  1337. 52:06credit card, it s- pops up a little Amex
  1338. 52:08logo or Visa logo. And you're like,
  1339. 52:10"What the [ __ ] wizardry?"
  1340. 52:12Just knows that off the bin.
  1341. 52:14Um so, some bins are flat out banned.
  1342. 52:18For instance, right now, like Amex
  1343. 52:20extend like doesn't work at all because
  1344. 52:22all the Amex extend bins are banned.
  1345. 52:26Probably cuz Pokémon Center um just got
  1346. 52:29to a point where
  1347. 52:32those cards themselves were at such a
  1348. 52:34high fraud rate that they just said,
  1349. 52:36"We're done with these in general."
  1350. 52:40And really, there's no no normal people
  1351. 52:43are not using Amex extend cards. So, I
  1352. 52:46don't think they really cared about
  1353. 52:47cutting out
  1354. 52:49that.
  1355. 52:52>> [snorts]
  1356. 52:53>> Yep.
  1357. 52:54I personally haven't seen what strains
  1358. 52:55other than, you know, privacy.
  1359. 52:58Doesn't really use other than like old
  1360. 53:01privacy cards work super well. The new
  1361. 53:03ones won't.
  1362. 53:05Um
  1363. 53:06In general, Visa gives a lot less of a
  1364. 53:08[ __ ] about fraud.
  1365. 53:10Yeah.
  1366. 53:13It seems.
  1367. 53:16Um
  1368. 53:17It seems like Chase Ink cards don't
  1369. 53:19work.
  1370. 53:20At least from what I heard from somebody
  1371. 53:22else. I'll keep experimenting with it
  1372. 53:23cuz I only tested on one drop, but
  1373. 53:26>> [snorts]
  1374. 53:26>> um
  1375. 53:27I'm what I'm curious to see if there's
  1376. 53:29any like business credit cards
  1377. 53:32that don't work or are always personal.
  1378. 53:37Chase Ink.
  1379. 53:38Capital One Eno does work.
  1380. 53:43For all the people who think it doesn't,
  1381. 53:44I promise you Capital One Eno works.
  1382. 53:47Maybe the bin on your card doesn't work,
  1383. 53:50>> [snorts]
  1384. 53:50>> but
  1385. 53:53they do work.
  1386. 53:55Yep. Yeah, I think I made like a
  1387. 53:58opened a new Quicksilver credit card
  1388. 54:01last month in January that I
  1389. 54:03get an Eno and it worked perfectly.
  1390. 54:05>> [snorts]
  1391. 54:05>> Yeah. Last drop.
  1392. 54:08Enos are just weird. Enos are
  1393. 54:11one of the only VCCs where they they
  1394. 54:14seem to be finicky about the zip code.
  1395. 54:16Now, any addresses I've ever had have
  1396. 54:18always been in my same zip code. Um so,
  1397. 54:21I have never really personally played
  1398. 54:23too much around with uh shipping [ __ ] to
  1399. 54:26other zip codes.
  1400. 54:28But, just from everything I've ever
  1401. 54:30heard from others, including Pokémon
  1402. 54:33Center,
  1403. 54:34um
  1404. 54:35Enos get pretty picky about the zip code
  1405. 54:37and it's best to keep it, if possible,
  1406. 54:39to your actual zip code.
  1407. 54:434620
  1408. 54:444620 though.
  1409. 54:47And then my question Yo, can we also get
  1410. 54:50that your card number?
  1411. 54:54I just heard someone say their CSV out
  1412. 54:55loud. I'm just [ __ ] with them.
  1413. 55:01You can ask your question.
  1414. 55:03Yeah, keep keep asking questions. Um
  1415. 55:06Look over the email, phone number.
  1416. 55:10Different address checking
  1417. 55:12methodologies.
  1418. 55:15Yeah, I really think the zip the zip
  1419. 55:17code is a big thing for people that have
  1420. 55:19more than one address that they ship it
  1421. 55:20to.
  1422. 55:21Um
  1423. 55:23like uh the question that I had earlier,
  1424. 55:25all these uh retailers have their own
  1425. 55:27verification.
  1426. 55:28And I think zip code has a lot to do
  1427. 55:30with some of them.
  1428. 55:31Mhm. I didn't have that problem with
  1429. 55:33Walmart.
  1430. 55:34What's the most y'all got per address?
  1431. 55:38Uh
  1432. 55:38a lot.
  1433. 55:40But that was that was the times of the
  1434. 55:42past. I bought pallets of ETBs off
  1435. 55:45Pokémon Center. Just this from
  1436. 55:47many moons ago.
  1437. 55:50You ever had a FedEx truck back up in
  1438. 55:52your driveway? Yeah.
  1439. 55:56Yep.
  1440. 55:56>> One day.
  1441. 55:57My mailman's gotten smart. They got one
  1442. 55:59of the side door slidey vans, dude. They
  1443. 56:00pull that [ __ ] just right up next to the
  1444. 56:02door, and they just have my ass stand
  1445. 56:04there. They don't even get out of their
  1446. 56:05[ __ ] vehicle.
  1447. 56:08It's hilarious.
  1448. 56:12The most I got was like 12 in one
  1449. 56:13address. That was because I was just
  1450. 56:15capped on cards. You ever gone ass to
  1451. 56:17ass with the UPS truck cuz you needed
  1452. 56:19your [ __ ] in the middle of a his run?
  1453. 56:22Six in address is the most I've gotten.
  1454. 56:25Six. Yeah.
  1455. 56:27I don't know. See if you're past two,
  1456. 56:28that means you're doing something right,
  1457. 56:30so.
  1458. 56:31I mean, I've legitimately like within
  1459. 56:33the last year gotten 20 plus shipped to
  1460. 56:35an address like ETBs. It's just
  1461. 56:39it's seemed very sporadic with cans
  1462. 56:41lately as well.
  1463. 56:42Like perfect order, I have 14 orders
  1464. 56:45out.
  1465. 56:47Will they all end up shipping? But I
  1466. 56:48don't know.
  1467. 56:50>> I'm scared they're going to cancel
  1468. 56:50[snorts] them all.
  1469. 56:52Um not really much of a question, but
  1470. 56:54it's in regards to cancellations. One
  1471. 56:56thing that I noticed about my stuff is
  1472. 56:58that any of my jigged profiles will
  1473. 57:00cancel every single one towards that
  1474. 57:03address recently.
  1475. 57:05Uh and then the other accounts where it
  1476. 57:07would be like just one regular address
  1477. 57:08is jigged or just only one checkout has
  1478. 57:11gone to that address, they don't get
  1479. 57:12canceled at all.
  1480. 57:13Or even a but anytime I have like a
  1481. 57:15jigged address, the whole the whole
  1482. 57:17batch going to that address will get
  1483. 57:19canceled.
  1484. 57:20They probably have like a a a
  1485. 57:22>> reseller database, they just press the
  1486. 57:24switch.
  1487. 57:27>> [laughter]
  1488. 57:27>> That's so uh
  1489. 57:29I have no idea. So uh my my main address
  1490. 57:32is my home didn't get anything, but all
  1491. 57:34the other addresses that I usually got
  1492. 57:36one order in.
  1493. 57:39Yeah, I can see it.
  1494. 57:44Yeah, just keep it small, you know, rest
  1495. 57:46the accounts and just slowly scale up
  1496. 57:49again.
  1497. 57:54But, I I do think, you know, a good
  1498. 57:57practice like I was, you know, just kind
  1499. 57:59of parlaying and Joyce said earlier is,
  1500. 58:01you know, rotate profiles if you, you
  1501. 58:03know, you have enough cards and stuff
  1502. 58:05like that. And it's a little bit harder
  1503. 58:07to rotate proxies cuz I know it's
  1504. 58:09essentially,
  1505. 58:10you know, costs.
  1506. 58:12And I'm not going to sit here and
  1507. 58:13advocate like, "Okay, go buy another 50
  1508. 58:16proxies just so you you have, you know,
  1509. 58:19them to rotate on Pokémon Center." You
  1510. 58:21know,
  1511. 58:22Um but, if you have the resources, I
  1512. 58:24think I do think it is good practice to
  1513. 58:27to put rotation into play.
  1514. 58:32>> [snorts]
  1515. 58:39>> Anybody else have any questions?
  1516. 58:47Oh, Mystery Hero's here. I didn't even
  1517. 58:49notice.
  1518. 58:51I love Hero.
  1519. 58:57>> [snorts]
  1520. 58:57>> He's like the hidden behind the scenes
  1521. 58:59like goat. He does a lot for us. He just
  1522. 59:01doesn't He's not a like the active chat
  1523. 59:04guy, but
  1524. 59:07he is He's super important. I love this
  1525. 59:09man.
  1526. 59:12The goat?
  1527. 59:13Yeah.
  1528. 59:15I'll [snorts] try.
  1529. 59:16Often I just have the microphone.
  1530. 59:21But, also I think we're also at the
  1531. 59:23point where like just profile specific
  1532. 59:25um questions are are getting a little
  1533. 59:27slower. So, if you guys do have other
  1534. 59:30other questions, we're definitely here
  1535. 59:32to help and, um, depending how long
  1536. 59:38uh, or how slow things get, I'll stick
  1537. 59:40around for like another hour max.
  1538. 59:43And I will retire to my couch.
  1539. 59:48And you guys can take off here. You guys
  1540. 59:50can talk to like on microphones. You
  1541. 59:52don't have to be all muted if you don't
  1542. 59:53want. I don't really
  1543. 59:55It's free fall or free for all now. Not
  1544. 59:58a free fall.
  1545. 59:59>> [snorts]
  1546. 1:00:00>> Drugs are bad.
  1547. 1:00:03Free falling for you? Yeah.
  1548. 1:00:05Yes, my my life.
  1549. 1:00:07>> on? My bad. My life in a word, free
  1550. 1:00:09fall.
  1551. 1:00:15Nah, life is good. I'm only joking.
  1552. 1:00:22Anybody got any secrets?
  1553. 1:00:27Nah, no one's mad. You wouldn't get
  1554. 1:00:29kicked.
  1555. 1:00:35We're having a main phone.
  1556. 1:00:38I mean, I got to I got to check
  1557. 1:00:39afterwards, Zenith, to see if the
  1558. 1:00:41recording worked. I legitimately am I I
  1559. 1:00:44just always [ __ ] it up. I just It's just
  1560. 1:00:45how I am. I will have found a way to
  1561. 1:00:47[ __ ] some part of it up, whether it
  1562. 1:00:49wasn't recording that part of the screen
  1563. 1:00:51or
  1564. 1:00:52[ __ ] his views or his voice will be
  1565. 1:00:54muted or
  1566. 1:00:56Like, hopefully it's recorded. That's
  1567. 1:00:58all I'll say. I I tried. Did I succeed?
  1568. 1:01:02You got to record with your phone next
  1569. 1:01:03time.
  1570. 1:01:04Yo, low-key that would actually work.
  1571. 1:01:06Just point my phone my
  1572. 1:01:08my phone
  1573. 1:01:10>> [laughter]
  1574. 1:01:10>> Something to sit and record on your
  1575. 1:01:12phone. Bro, I'm 39. I'm amazed that I
  1576. 1:01:15got my microphone working right away the
  1577. 1:01:17first time today. I was like proud of
  1578. 1:01:18myself. Usually that takes me 20
  1579. 1:01:20minutes, so.
  1580. 1:01:22Good job. I'm at the
  1581. 1:01:24Dude, I'm straight boomer with it. I
  1582. 1:01:26usually sit there talking on
  1583. 1:01:27speakerphone on my phone for the
  1584. 1:01:28Discord.
  1585. 1:01:31With the mic off?
  1586. 1:01:32Yeah.
  1587. 1:01:32>> [snorts]
  1588. 1:01:32>> Proud of you, Kenny.
  1589. 1:01:34I dude, I was really proud of myself.
  1590. 1:01:36I'm not going to lie.
  1591. 1:01:38If this recorded properly, like this is
  1592. 1:01:40a monumental achievement. I've been
  1593. 1:01:41trying to do this for years, and I I
  1594. 1:01:43don't think I've been successful once.
  1595. 1:01:46Like we could be making history.
  1596. 1:01:51Amex employee cards? No, just use all
  1597. 1:01:52your real information over and over and
  1598. 1:01:54over and over and over and over again
  1599. 1:01:56because it needs a real social security
  1600. 1:01:58and social which needs to match a real
  1601. 1:02:00human's name.
  1602. 1:02:01And you can't just use random social
  1603. 1:02:02security numbers cuz that would
  1604. 1:02:04definitely be some form of fraud.
  1605. 1:02:06That's fraud.
  1606. 1:02:07No, that's that's actually [laughter]
  1607. 1:02:08fraud. Yeah, yeah.
  1608. 1:02:10Yeah, like that's a capital F fraud. So,
  1609. 1:02:13um
  1610. 1:02:14you just use your real info over and
  1611. 1:02:16over. Amex doesn't doesn't really care.
  1612. 1:02:23I You can make 99 of them.
  1613. 1:02:36So, hey, uh quick question. I got to go
  1614. 1:02:38soon, but
  1615. 1:02:39So, if you get the actual checkout, do
  1616. 1:02:41you get canceled after? Like does that
  1617. 1:02:43mean
  1618. 1:02:45your profile's good?
  1619. 1:02:47Cuz it got through decision manager or
  1620. 1:02:50Yeah, I would say yeah.
  1621. 1:02:52Bro, they cancel normal people like
  1622. 1:02:54that go on the site just the one time
  1623. 1:02:57like and they're only buying that with
  1624. 1:02:59their normal cards. Like my normal like
  1625. 1:03:01normie friend people, like they get
  1626. 1:03:03canceled.
  1627. 1:03:04Okay, [snorts] cool.
  1628. 1:03:06>> [clears throat]
  1629. 1:03:06>> And they're not doing anything like sus,
  1630. 1:03:09so it's really
  1631. 1:03:12it's really hard to say.
  1632. 1:03:14I don't know why they do it besides that
  1633. 1:03:15they're hoes.
  1634. 1:03:17I feel like I get canceled more on
  1635. 1:03:19pre-orders than I do like the restocks.
  1636. 1:03:22I don't know.
  1637. 1:03:24Restocks I feel like more things stick
  1638. 1:03:26than like pre-orders for me at least.
  1639. 1:03:28I'd agree.
  1640. 1:03:34I think
  1641. 1:03:36um
  1642. 1:03:38interesting.
  1643. 1:03:40Nice. Um I think the
  1644. 1:03:44like they're I think they're easier on
  1645. 1:03:46profiles during pre-orders. I I know a
  1646. 1:03:49lot of people think the opposite.
  1647. 1:03:52Um so maybe it's just all in our head
  1648. 1:03:53what's actually working better.
  1649. 1:03:56But
  1650. 1:03:58>> [snorts]
  1651. 1:03:58>> I don't know. But yeah, you are you are
  1652. 1:04:00right with the actual like it's
  1653. 1:04:02sticking.
  1654. 1:04:03>> right now.
  1655. 1:04:04They
  1656. 1:04:05they rarely like rarely rarely rarely
  1657. 1:04:07are canceling I can't even recall them
  1658. 1:04:10canceling
  1659. 1:04:12>> canceling
  1660. 1:04:13>> to have to ask her.
  1661. 1:04:14Yeah. Speak I'm buying from. Shut up.
  1662. 1:04:19Um I can't remember them canceling like
  1663. 1:04:22non pre-orders like they did with that
  1664. 1:04:24bundle [ __ ] before. I just really can't.
  1665. 1:04:26>> Mhm.
  1666. 1:04:28>> [snorts]
  1667. 1:04:34>> Yeah, it's hard for me to say what works
  1668. 1:04:36for me and not cuz
  1669. 1:04:39like the Ascent of Heroes I hit like a
  1670. 1:04:40lot, but all of them got canceled except
  1671. 1:04:43one. But it was kind of late the
  1672. 1:04:46cancellations.
  1673. 1:04:47And then I hit on restocks for like the
  1674. 1:04:50Surging Sparks and like the most recent
  1675. 1:04:53one.
  1676. 1:04:54And a bunch of them stuck, so
  1677. 1:04:56hard to say for me at least.
  1678. 1:05:00Yeah, it seems the general consensus is
  1679. 1:05:02it never makes any sense for anyone.
  1680. 1:05:06That's what I hate about like trying to
  1681. 1:05:07help. That's why that you know, I'm very
  1682. 1:05:09thankful Noah I'll this on cuz it's very
  1683. 1:05:11helpful just to
  1684. 1:05:13to talk it out in in general and
  1685. 1:05:15>> Somebody had this experience, yeah. Mhm,
  1686. 1:05:18because there isn't
  1687. 1:05:19I mean, I know [clears throat] it's
  1688. 1:05:20frustrating I know I've talked to a lot
  1689. 1:05:21of you if not most of you like in
  1690. 1:05:23regards to profiles. I know it's
  1691. 1:05:24frustrating sometimes to
  1692. 1:05:27you know, not be able to get concrete
  1693. 1:05:28advice.
  1694. 1:05:30Um
  1695. 1:05:31but yeah, really just have my
  1696. 1:05:32experiences and what I've always worked
  1697. 1:05:34for me.
  1698. 1:05:35Yeah. [snorts]
  1699. 1:05:38Just what I've been going through
  1700. 1:05:39recently with my cards.
  1701. 1:05:42Not for Pokémon Center but for like
  1702. 1:05:43Target or Walmart.
  1703. 1:05:45If I'm getting item demanded or
  1704. 1:05:46canceled, I would go manually
  1705. 1:05:49and go through those cards manually and
  1706. 1:05:51try to see
  1707. 1:05:52if I could check something out that's in
  1708. 1:05:53stock. Mhm. Like a Donruss and if I'm
  1709. 1:05:56getting errors from there, it's kind of
  1710. 1:05:57like a process of elimination.
  1711. 1:05:59Figure out
  1712. 1:06:00what to change to make it actually go
  1713. 1:06:02through. Target's pretty similar in
  1714. 1:06:03regards to Pokémon Center, by the way. I
  1715. 1:06:06would say if you guys are struggling
  1716. 1:06:07with Target, I would take the exact same
  1717. 1:06:10um
  1718. 1:06:10approach.
  1719. 1:06:12Uh just a brief little on Target.
  1720. 1:06:13There's basically two two approaches I'd
  1721. 1:06:16suggest.
  1722. 1:06:17You can find two or three, you know,
  1723. 1:06:19maybe up to like five or so profiles
  1724. 1:06:21that are working good, you know, that
  1725. 1:06:23are basically unjigged.
  1726. 1:06:25Um
  1727. 1:06:27and just, you know, accept that, which
  1728. 1:06:28for most people is fine.
  1729. 1:06:30Or you can try more of a brute for
  1730. 1:06:33brute force approach with all sorts of
  1731. 1:06:36jigs.
  1732. 1:06:38Um and what I've found usually works the
  1733. 1:06:41best there is, you know, just having
  1734. 1:06:43like three three letters at the end,
  1735. 1:06:45which is basically like having an
  1736. 1:06:46apartment number.
  1737. 1:06:48Um
  1738. 1:06:50I prefer the second, more of the brute
  1739. 1:06:52force approach because of how Target
  1740. 1:06:55rate limits the actual checkout itself.
  1741. 1:06:59Um the brute force approach is just
  1742. 1:07:01giving more more of a check, more of a
  1743. 1:07:03chance of getting an actual checkout.
  1744. 1:07:06Um
  1745. 1:07:07just seems to get a lot of eye demands
  1746. 1:07:09and resellers doing that versus you
  1747. 1:07:13know, a more
  1748. 1:07:14if you actually get the check out it
  1749. 1:07:16sticks approach, which is like approach
  1750. 1:07:18one. So,
  1751. 1:07:20positive and negatives to both
  1752. 1:07:22approaches.
  1753. 1:07:23Pick your poison. If you don't if you
  1754. 1:07:25have a smaller setup like less proxies,
  1755. 1:07:28um,
  1756. 1:07:30first setup may probably be better. I
  1757. 1:07:33feel like Target's a site that a lot of
  1758. 1:07:35people overrun.
  1759. 1:07:37Um, and they kind of are just cooking
  1760. 1:07:39their setup and don't have much of a
  1761. 1:07:41chance before it even begins.
  1762. 1:07:43Mhm.
  1763. 1:07:53What would you say is like a safe amount
  1764. 1:07:55of Well, not safe, [clears throat] but a
  1765. 1:07:58good amount of profiles to start off
  1766. 1:07:59with running Target?
  1767. 1:08:02I mean, I would honestly probably just
  1768. 1:08:04make like three to five. I mean, it it
  1769. 1:08:06really depends on
  1770. 1:08:09how how many proxies you have is
  1771. 1:08:10probably going to be my my real question
  1772. 1:08:13cuz I don't think Target is worth
  1773. 1:08:15framing your expenses around.
  1774. 1:08:17So, like
  1775. 1:08:19how many how many proxies do you have?
  1776. 1:08:22>> [snorts]
  1777. 1:08:23>> I got 100 ISPs.
  1778. 1:08:25I probably would run like 10 10 profiles
  1779. 1:08:27max.
  1780. 1:08:29Um, dedicate the rest to your
  1781. 1:08:32and I would probably use like 20 25 for
  1782. 1:08:34my check out proxies.
  1783. 1:08:37Then I would split the rest of it off
  1784. 1:08:39into harvesters.
  1785. 1:08:42Okay.
  1786. 1:08:45And that way, you know, you're not
  1787. 1:08:46really beating those proxies up um,
  1788. 1:08:50too much.
  1789. 1:08:52That way when it comes time you need the
  1790. 1:08:53cookies, the cookies have a better
  1791. 1:08:55chance of uh, being valid.
  1792. 1:08:57I also think when it comes to cookies,
  1793. 1:09:00um, they if your cookies are good
  1794. 1:09:03they last a lot longer.
  1795. 1:09:06Um
  1796. 1:09:08so if you're if you're farming slower
  1797. 1:09:11aka like you're running less accounts
  1798. 1:09:14and you have a healthier um proxy ratio
  1799. 1:09:17to rotate through
  1800. 1:09:20you can set your cookie expiration
  1801. 1:09:22higher. Like I have my cookie expiration
  1802. 1:09:24at like 10 minutes, 12 minutes and
  1803. 1:09:25they're they works perfectly fine.
  1804. 1:09:29Um
  1805. 1:09:30How many accounts are you running?
  1806. 1:09:32Me I run like I mean this is going to
  1807. 1:09:35sound crazy. I mean I run 15 accounts
  1808. 1:09:37but I have and I have two subnets so I
  1809. 1:09:39mean
  1810. 1:09:40I just don't have a need to really run
  1811. 1:09:42run more than that. I could run 50 on a
  1812. 1:09:44drop and
  1813. 1:09:46you know, have the resources to have the
  1814. 1:09:47cookies for it. I just
  1815. 1:09:49Target is not a site I put a lot of
  1816. 1:09:51effort into. My address is so [ __ ]
  1817. 1:09:53fried on Target at this point.
  1818. 1:09:57Um, I have a hard time finding anything
  1819. 1:09:58that really works anymore out there for
  1820. 1:10:00me.
  1821. 1:10:02I've been running Target for like a
  1822. 1:10:03decade like since KSR beta days. Like I
  1823. 1:10:06have raped Target over the last decade.
  1824. 1:10:09>> cook your address? Yeah, like I've I've
  1825. 1:10:12raped [clears throat] Target.
  1826. 1:10:14So
  1827. 1:10:16Target's not a site I care too much more
  1828. 1:10:17personally about anymore.
  1829. 1:10:19But very similar approach to Pokemon
  1830. 1:10:21Center.
  1831. 1:10:22>> [snorts]
  1832. 1:10:24>> And Walmart is generally like a free for
  1833. 1:10:26all? Yeah.
  1834. 1:10:28Wal-Wal-Walmart
  1835. 1:10:29>> Walmart is in there.
  1836. 1:10:30Yeah, Walmart like very simple jigs like
  1837. 1:10:32work there. Like you really like two
  1838. 1:10:34three letter like
  1839. 1:10:35it's just way more on um
  1840. 1:10:38but like the actual account itself just
  1841. 1:10:40being
  1842. 1:10:41Yeah. Okay. Combination of age and
  1843. 1:10:45order history not even necessarily
  1844. 1:10:47sticks like cancels. That's why I say
  1845. 1:10:48like
  1846. 1:10:50just run for [ __ ] when you got
  1847. 1:10:51shitty accounts. Like you can always
  1848. 1:10:52just cancel it or try and break even on
  1849. 1:10:54it. It's still like doing you good in
  1850. 1:10:56the long run, so that
  1851. 1:10:58you know, you have drop or you have good
  1852. 1:11:00stuff. Like I think people right now are
  1853. 1:11:03probably making the mistake of
  1854. 1:11:05um
  1855. 1:11:07not making accounts, you know, for the
  1856. 1:11:09future cuz they're looking at like,
  1857. 1:11:10"Okay, perfect order sucks. Like I don't
  1858. 1:11:12need accounts right now for perfect
  1859. 1:11:14order."
  1860. 1:11:15Uh the next set Chaos Rising, like,
  1861. 1:11:17"Okay, that's not supposed to be a
  1862. 1:11:18banger. Like I don't need to make
  1863. 1:11:19accounts for that." I I think a lot of
  1864. 1:11:21people are putting that mindset in their
  1865. 1:11:22head versus like "Okay, I can make them
  1866. 1:11:25now and that gives me, you know, drops
  1867. 1:11:27to be ready for because guess what we're
  1868. 1:11:29going to have in the fall?"
  1869. 1:11:32We're going to have the 30th anniversary
  1870. 1:11:33set. So, you need to have in your head
  1871. 1:11:36right now of like "Okay, so the next two
  1872. 1:11:39sets may not be the greatest. They may
  1873. 1:11:41not print money, but I need to scale now
  1874. 1:11:44on Walmart so that my [ __ ] is good for
  1875. 1:11:47when it matters."
  1876. 1:11:49Because there's going to be a lot of
  1877. 1:11:50people who wait until like, "Oh [ __ ]
  1878. 1:11:53the set just got announced." And then
  1879. 1:11:55we're 30 days out and you can't do [ __ ]
  1880. 1:11:57all [ __ ] all about [ __ ] all besides
  1881. 1:12:00fumble yourself.
  1882. 1:12:01So,
  1883. 1:12:05that's kind of and maybe I should make a
  1884. 1:12:07post um on that pretty soon and let me
  1885. 1:12:09make Let me find a [ __ ] sticky note
  1886. 1:12:12um [snorts] to make some general
  1887. 1:12:14announcement about that cuz I think
  1888. 1:12:15people should kind of have that that
  1889. 1:12:17thought on Walmart right now of
  1890. 1:12:20of looking ahead 6 months and where do
  1891. 1:12:22they want their setup to be in 6 months,
  1892. 1:12:24not necessarily where do they want it to
  1893. 1:12:25be now.
  1894. 1:12:27So, food for thought for the people in
  1895. 1:12:30here.
  1896. 1:12:31Hey brother, I
  1897. 1:12:32I know I know you probably already
  1898. 1:12:33answered this, but just to double check,
  1899. 1:12:36is this going to be recorded in case we
  1900. 1:12:37miss some parts?
  1901. 1:12:38Yeah, I mean, I'm trying, but I manage
  1902. 1:12:40to always [ __ ] up, so we'll see if I I
  1903. 1:12:41tried. We'll see if I succeeded. You did
  1904. 1:12:44I appreciate you trying. Thank you.
  1905. 1:12:46>> [laughter]
  1906. 1:12:47>> Yeah.
  1907. 1:12:49Yeah, if any if any questions, you can
  1908. 1:12:51open a ticket or DM me.
  1909. 1:12:53Actually, preferably open a ticket, but
  1910. 1:12:56Yeah, we're happy to help through
  1911. 1:12:57tickets. The big big here thing was like
  1912. 1:12:59there there there was like 20 tickets
  1913. 1:13:01like open at once, and I'm sure he's
  1914. 1:13:02getting DMs and [ __ ] too. I just didn't
  1915. 1:13:04want to make his life miserable. He's
  1916. 1:13:05like, "I just started. I don't I What
  1917. 1:13:07did I sign up for?" He didn't actually
  1918. 1:13:08say that, but
  1919. 1:13:10I just figured this would be a lot more
  1920. 1:13:11effective, and like I said, like
  1921. 1:13:14I'm sure people learn a lot more in this
  1922. 1:13:16than they would have just like on an
  1923. 1:13:17individual ticket.
  1924. 1:13:20Yeah, it's a lot more efficient, so
  1925. 1:13:23Yeah. I'm going to drop in news, but
  1926. 1:13:25thank you all for attending, and feel
  1927. 1:13:28free to reach out if you have any
  1928. 1:13:29questions. Yeah, heck yeah. Thank you so
  1929. 1:13:31much for your time, Mr. Noah. Um
  1930. 1:13:34Yeah, thank you so much.
  1931. 1:13:36Yeah, those two law those address
  1932. 1:13:38validations are really good. Thank you
  1933. 1:13:39for that.
  1934. 1:13:40Awesome.
  1935. 1:13:43Uh I'll stick around for
  1936. 1:13:45you know, another 45 minutes, you know,
  1937. 1:13:47max, if there's any more questions,
  1938. 1:13:49unless people stop asking questions.
  1939. 1:13:51>> [snorts]
  1940. 1:13:52>> Um then I'll hop out.
  1941. 1:13:55But I'm happy to really answer just
  1942. 1:13:56about anything. Could be what do you I
  1943. 1:13:58think about X and Y Z set. Really
  1944. 1:14:01anything.
  1945. 1:14:09A little about like um
  1946. 1:14:12running
  1947. 1:14:13like what you run on, like you posted
  1948. 1:14:15some link, I think, about like a like a
  1949. 1:14:17bare metal server or something.
  1950. 1:14:20Uh
  1951. 1:14:21tell all that works.
  1952. 1:14:24Uh you
  1953. 1:14:26you're talking Hold on 1 second. It's
  1954. 1:14:30I'm just clarifying something with Noah.
  1955. 1:14:32I need to clarify this real quick.
  1956. 1:14:35For sure.
  1957. 1:14:36Uh
  1958. 1:14:40Sorry, I got a very like one-track mind,
  1959. 1:14:42and I'll [ __ ]
  1960. 1:14:44forget if I don't.
  1961. 1:14:46Okay, what was your question regards to
  1962. 1:14:47uh just in general like bare metal
  1963. 1:14:49versus
  1964. 1:14:52We're talking about latency. You had put
  1965. 1:14:54a post up I think there's someone did
  1966. 1:14:56Oh, okay.
  1967. 1:14:57>> or so ago.
  1968. 1:14:59So, you're just wondering like bare
  1969. 1:15:00metal versus VPS or bare metal versus
  1970. 1:15:04like home or just like the general
  1971. 1:15:06thing?
  1972. 1:15:07>> [snorts]
  1973. 1:15:08>> Yeah, I guess basically just like the
  1974. 1:15:09general thing like I get latency in that
  1975. 1:15:12whole thing. You know, you turn that off
  1976. 1:15:17but like kind of what you're running and
  1977. 1:15:18like
  1978. 1:15:19why it's
  1979. 1:15:21it's better not to perhaps run different
  1980. 1:15:23way.
  1981. 1:15:24I mean, I'm I'm running
  1982. 1:15:26on a bare metal
  1983. 1:15:29just because that's optimal.
  1984. 1:15:32>> [snorts]
  1985. 1:15:32>> I mean, there's just no reason for me
  1986. 1:15:33not to and also I mean, it's it's comp
  1987. 1:15:36for me. Like it's free for me. So,
  1988. 1:15:37there's really no reason for me not to.
  1989. 1:15:40But even if I had to pay for it, I would
  1990. 1:15:42because Walmart I think is a site that
  1991. 1:15:45is worth framing. Um
  1992. 1:15:47cost around because it's really the
  1993. 1:15:51the last bastion of
  1994. 1:15:52>> [snorts]
  1995. 1:15:52>> of of hope where we can really really
  1996. 1:15:55get bulk. You know, I guess unless
  1997. 1:15:57you're counting something like a Costco
  1998. 1:15:59or a Sam's, but it's really the last
  1999. 1:16:00place you know, you can really get
  2000. 1:16:03bulk.
  2001. 1:16:05You know, 75% of my money last year was
  2002. 1:16:07probably made on Walmart. So,
  2003. 1:16:09it makes no sense for me to really frame
  2004. 1:16:12cost around anything else.
  2005. 1:16:14Um
  2006. 1:16:15and with the queue being first come
  2007. 1:16:17first serve
  2008. 1:16:18uh
  2009. 1:16:20you know, every every little bit
  2010. 1:16:22uh counts.
  2011. 1:16:24It's kind of where where I stand on it.
  2012. 1:16:26I don't
  2013. 1:16:28I I don't think
  2014. 1:16:31you know, if if I'm
  2015. 1:16:33if you're willing to put 3 400 dollars
  2016. 1:16:36into accounts, you know, making Walmart
  2017. 1:16:38accounts and proxy costs and bot costs
  2018. 1:16:40and your time and your effort.
  2019. 1:16:42Um you know, the extra 60 bucks, you
  2020. 1:16:45know, for a VPS server or probably even
  2021. 1:16:47cheaper than that, um I think is well
  2022. 1:16:50worth it. And then, you know, definitely
  2023. 1:16:52if you start getting anywhere near like
  2024. 1:16:531,000 accounts, if you're already
  2025. 1:16:54running at that scale,
  2026. 1:16:57um
  2027. 1:16:58you know, the 120 140 whatever a month
  2028. 1:17:01for a bare metal, I think,
  2029. 1:17:03um becomes worth it.
  2030. 1:17:06Because [clears throat] even if it makes
  2031. 1:17:07a difference in like one checkout,
  2032. 1:17:10the profit on one checkout of ETBs is
  2033. 1:17:12like what? 200 bucks?
  2034. 1:17:13So,
  2035. 1:17:15I just kind of run, you know, those
  2036. 1:17:17those simple thoughts in my head of
  2037. 1:17:18like, okay, like to pay itself off, like
  2038. 1:17:21what is it going to take? And how
  2039. 1:17:23realistic is it?
  2040. 1:17:26So, I think it makes a big difference.
  2041. 1:17:28And so, so you just upload like your
  2042. 1:17:31basically to it?
  2043. 1:17:32Upload my what to it? Sorry, you broke
  2044. 1:17:34up a little bit.
  2045. 1:17:36Like that that your your task basically
  2046. 1:17:39they just get uploaded and like run off
  2047. 1:17:41of
  2048. 1:17:43I mean, a server is a server.
  2049. 1:17:45>> server elsewhere?
  2050. 1:17:47Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's a a bare metal
  2051. 1:17:49server is it's a real machine. It's just
  2052. 1:17:51sitting in a data rack. And I just
  2053. 1:17:52connect to it through um a program
  2054. 1:17:54called Remote Desktop Protocol.
  2055. 1:17:57It's just up on another monitor. It's
  2056. 1:17:59just like having another computer within
  2057. 1:18:00a computer.
  2058. 1:18:04But it [snorts] functions the same way
  2059. 1:18:05as your home computer does. You just
  2060. 1:18:06install things. It runs Windows and
  2061. 1:18:10and all of that.
  2062. 1:18:12Now, your setup is that the most ideal
  2063. 1:18:15setup for a very like for a scaled-up
  2064. 1:18:17operation?
  2065. 1:18:20Um
  2066. 1:18:21I mean, probably the only place I could
  2067. 1:18:23do better and it's something I've
  2068. 1:18:24experiment been experimenting with
  2069. 1:18:26um
  2070. 1:18:27lately
  2071. 1:18:29is is less tasks per bot.
  2072. 1:18:33Because I think even though it's not
  2073. 1:18:36uh necessarily
  2074. 1:18:39a bottleneck
  2075. 1:18:41um in terms of like can my computer or
  2076. 1:18:43my network handle it?
  2077. 1:18:46I simply think having
  2078. 1:18:48um 2,000 tasks versus 1,000 tasks trying
  2079. 1:18:51to simultaneously
  2080. 1:18:53enter queue and just whatever happens on
  2081. 1:18:56the bot side of it.
  2082. 1:18:58Mhm. Um
  2083. 1:18:59I I've just been noticing that my
  2084. 1:19:02I I've been playing around on drops. I
  2085. 1:19:03didn't necessarily care if I hit, but
  2086. 1:19:05people are still going to be running um
  2087. 1:19:07hard.
  2088. 1:19:08Right. And I I noticed that I was
  2089. 1:19:10getting better queue times when I was
  2090. 1:19:12running um
  2091. 1:19:14less tasks.
  2092. 1:19:15So, I think if there's one area that um
  2093. 1:19:19I would invest in myself
  2094. 1:19:21um I normally run like about yeah,
  2095. 1:19:24anywhere from 2,000 to the 2,500 tasks
  2096. 1:19:27on
  2097. 1:19:28uh a copy of Refract for Walmart.
  2098. 1:19:30Um
  2099. 1:19:31I would probably split that between um
  2100. 1:19:33two servers and second instance of
  2101. 1:19:35Refract or you know, Inda Hidden or you
  2102. 1:19:38know, whatever other Walmart bot.
  2103. 1:19:41Um so, that's probably the one
  2104. 1:19:43one thing I would consider, but
  2105. 1:19:45you know, that's a $200 investment, but
  2106. 1:19:48running that back of my head
  2107. 1:19:50you know, if we have another Ascended
  2108. 1:19:52Heroes ETB drop coming up, you know, I
  2109. 1:19:54think I would make that investment for a
  2110. 1:19:57month. And then, you know, on down
  2111. 1:19:58months, I wouldn't necessarily care. I
  2112. 1:20:00could probably just run less tasks. At
  2113. 1:20:01the end of the day like 1,000 tasks is
  2114. 1:20:03probably plenty.
  2115. 1:20:05>> [snorts]
  2116. 1:20:07>> It is plenty.
  2117. 1:20:11I'm definitely running overkill with
  2118. 1:20:122,000. Don't think you guys need to be
  2119. 1:20:13running 2,000 and [ __ ]
  2120. 1:20:16Accounts used to be free. A lot of us
  2121. 1:20:18just have old free accounts.
  2122. 1:20:21What year did y'all say that uh privacy
  2123. 1:20:23cards were working? I just found a bunch
  2124. 1:20:26of Visas
  2125. 1:20:27with no transactions on them.
  2126. 1:20:31>> [snorts]
  2127. 1:20:34>> I think some of my accounts
  2128. 1:20:36Someone mentioned that all the old ones
  2129. 1:20:38just work. They were just saying old
  2130. 1:20:39ones in general. Yeah, they said they
  2131. 1:20:41said
  2132. 1:20:43Yeah, they said I think they heard them
  2133. 1:20:44say like 2020. I found some with uh
  2134. 1:20:48uh 2026 expiration dates. That's why.
  2135. 1:20:51But I got [snorts] I got a decent amount
  2136. 1:20:52of them that are that should be good to
  2137. 1:20:54go.
  2138. 1:21:07As far as scaling like Walmart, that's
  2139. 1:21:09like a numbers game as far as like
  2140. 1:21:11accounts and everything, right? Like
  2141. 1:21:13Mhm.
  2142. 1:21:15Okay. So
  2143. 1:21:20>> [snorts]
  2144. 1:21:20>> And you said all in use when when you're
  2145. 1:21:22running your 2,000 tasks, you're using
  2146. 1:21:25uh multiple tasks per profile or account
  2147. 1:21:27or No. No.
  2148. 1:21:30You don't want someone?
  2149. 1:21:32Yeah, I mean I have enough enough
  2150. 1:21:33accounts. I don't really need to.
  2151. 1:21:36>> [snorts]
  2152. 1:21:38>> If I did, I would want to probably split
  2153. 1:21:39it up. I definitely don't want to be
  2154. 1:21:40running more than like 2,500 tasks on an
  2155. 1:21:42instance. I think it's Right. Okay. It's
  2156. 1:21:44definitely pushing it on stability.
  2157. 1:21:51Yeah, I'm in the process of scaling up.
  2158. 1:21:53I have like 500 hard cards and just
  2159. 1:21:55getting BCCs up. So Less can be more. A
  2160. 1:21:58lot of people
  2161. 1:22:00don't see it till it's too late, but
  2162. 1:22:02less can be more.
  2163. 1:22:03Yeah.
  2164. 1:22:04So that's why I'm experimenting. You
  2165. 1:22:06know, I think I I might even just cap it
  2166. 1:22:08around 1,000 1,200. I know Kirks has
  2167. 1:22:10been playing around the same thing and
  2168. 1:22:11he feels very similar on
  2169. 1:22:14the task count.
  2170. 1:22:18But that's a hard one cuz it's it's
  2171. 1:22:21it's I don't want to I mean it's
  2172. 1:22:23hypothetical with
  2173. 1:22:25It's uh it's just hypothetical.
  2174. 1:22:27Um
  2175. 1:22:28and I feel like that's a weird
  2176. 1:22:29suggestion to to give people like run
  2177. 1:22:32less
  2178. 1:22:33when I don't know I don't know what's
  2179. 1:22:36better.
  2180. 1:22:37I see what you're saying in theory, but
  2181. 1:22:38it's just like if you're able to spread
  2182. 1:22:40it out
  2183. 1:22:41evenly and kind of not like
  2184. 1:22:43not have the load on one place and just
  2185. 1:22:45spread it out.
  2186. 1:22:48Really just a numbers game, right?
  2187. 1:22:50Mhm. Yeah.
  2188. 1:22:53But I mean I I think if you like if you
  2189. 1:22:55got a a a solid setup like
  2190. 1:22:59I have, you know,
  2191. 1:23:01between like 30 and 40K, you know,
  2192. 1:23:04credit limit usually on a drop that I'm
  2193. 1:23:06willing to commit to it.
  2194. 1:23:08Um
  2195. 1:23:09and
  2196. 1:23:11if when my Walmart setup is in its I'll
  2197. 1:23:15call it normal state, which is doing
  2198. 1:23:17good, which is good.
  2199. 1:23:19Um I'm generally generally do well on
  2200. 1:23:21Walmart.
  2201. 1:23:22I'm
  2202. 1:23:24I'm usually cutting drops off like 5 to
  2203. 1:23:2610 minutes into a drop cuz I've already
  2204. 1:23:27smoked my credit limit. Like
  2205. 1:23:30so I don't need, you know, 2,000
  2206. 1:23:32accounts. I could probably be running
  2207. 1:23:33500 and, you know, max all that [ __ ]
  2208. 1:23:35out, you know, I
  2209. 1:23:37just would take longer.
  2210. 1:23:39So then it just comes down to credit
  2211. 1:23:40limit. Yeah, so I don't think you need
  2212. 1:23:43like thousands of accounts to be
  2213. 1:23:44successful is ultimately what I'm
  2214. 1:23:46saying.
  2215. 1:23:48Like a couple hundred, you know.
  2216. 1:23:50[clears throat]
  2217. 1:23:51I I like 500 is is is solid. I would say
  2218. 1:23:551,000 is is a hefty setup. Like 1,000
  2219. 1:23:58once you got 1,000 reliable accounts
  2220. 1:24:00like
  2221. 1:24:03like that's that's absolutely plenty for
  2222. 1:24:05most people.
  2223. 1:24:06>> [snorts]
  2224. 1:24:09>> Then it just comes down to like, you
  2225. 1:24:10know, does it make more sense for, you
  2226. 1:24:11know, your credit limit?
  2227. 1:24:13You know, how much money can you
  2228. 1:24:14actually spend?
  2229. 1:24:16Also got to be careful with
  2230. 1:24:17overspending. The last thing you want is
  2231. 1:24:18an Amex hard review.
  2232. 1:24:21Boy, they'll to [ __ ] obliterate your
  2233. 1:24:23credit limit.
  2234. 1:24:26Someone just DM'd me like 3 days ago,
  2235. 1:24:28"Have you ever gotten a financial
  2236. 1:24:30review?" And I just smiled like,
  2237. 1:24:32Dog, I am hard stuck to a $4,000 credit
  2238. 1:24:35limit. I still run that [ __ ] up, too. I
  2239. 1:24:37still run that [ __ ] up to eight because
  2240. 1:24:39chances are majority of those things are
  2241. 1:24:41cans anyways. So, Yeah, and they'll let
  2242. 1:24:43you.
  2243. 1:24:44They're just like, "You're naughty. You
  2244. 1:24:45need to stop."
  2245. 1:24:48Or or then they hit you with the second
  2246. 1:24:50financial review and you're like, "Bro,
  2247. 1:24:51what the fuck?"
  2248. 1:24:53Yeah.
  2249. 1:24:54Yeah, no.
  2250. 1:24:57Rip my [ __ ] plum, bro. My plum was
  2251. 1:24:59goated as [ __ ] Yeah, me, too.
  2252. 1:25:02Yeah, not my
  2253. 1:25:02>> My [ __ ] so painful. Thanks so much.
  2254. 1:25:06Yeah.
  2255. 1:25:09It be like that.
  2256. 1:25:10>> The thing that got me The thing that got
  2257. 1:25:11me was a [ __ ] Walmart Plus renewal
  2258. 1:25:14charge.
  2259. 1:25:16That's what killed me.
  2260. 1:25:17The one thing that That's what triggered
  2261. 1:25:19the uh the financial review cuz it was
  2262. 1:25:21the one last transaction I needed.
  2263. 1:25:24Everything was supposed to fall off a
  2264. 1:25:26day later. Walmart decided to renew
  2265. 1:25:27right now.
  2266. 1:25:29[ __ ] me.
  2267. 1:25:32>> [snorts]
  2268. 1:25:32>> But,
  2269. 1:25:34Hey, any's?
  2270. 1:25:35What's up?
  2271. 1:25:37Um for the servers, how many tasks like
  2272. 1:25:40if I have 500 accounts, um what size
  2273. 1:25:43server would you recommend getting
  2274. 1:25:45on Walmart?
  2275. 1:25:46>> You don't need nothing powerful.
  2276. 1:25:50You can get away with probably whatever
  2277. 1:25:51the small one is. What's the small one?
  2278. 1:25:53>> Okay.
  2279. 1:25:54I think it's 8 by 32.
  2280. 1:25:57Oh, yeah. You can get by Yeah, you're
  2281. 1:25:58fine.
  2282. 1:26:00What What do you think the limit is for
  2283. 1:26:02a server that size?
  2284. 1:26:04I mean, you could probably run 1,000 no
  2285. 1:26:06problem. I mean, you you could You could
  2286. 1:26:08probably, you know, make refracts in
  2287. 1:26:11unstable before you, you know, you're
  2288. 1:26:13maxing out any sort of Walmart tasks.
  2289. 1:26:16Um okay.
  2290. 1:26:17Something like uh
  2291. 1:26:19Target's going to be heavier just
  2292. 1:26:21because of like Harvesters and [ __ ] but
  2293. 1:26:25Um, all right, cool.
  2294. 1:26:27Thank you.
  2295. 1:26:28>> Are you talking like Are you talking
  2296. 1:26:29just running Walmart? Like that's the
  2297. 1:26:31thing. Are you talking just one Are you
  2298. 1:26:33only going to be running Walmart?
  2299. 1:26:35>> Yeah, if it's just Walmart, like that's
  2300. 1:26:37plenty. If you're going to be running
  2301. 1:26:38like multiple bots, um you know, or if
  2302. 1:26:42you're going to be doing something a
  2303. 1:26:43little more intensive like Target
  2304. 1:26:46I I think it would probably be better to
  2305. 1:26:48have something
  2306. 1:26:49you know, maybe a tier up, but
  2307. 1:26:52you should be fine. I have the middle
  2308. 1:26:53tier and I run um
  2309. 1:26:56um refracts, Stellar, and Hidden like
  2310. 1:26:59all at the same time.
  2311. 1:27:01>> [snorts]
  2312. 1:27:02>> Okay, cool.
  2313. 1:27:03>> Never Never have issues.
  2314. 1:27:05Also, randomly in my head, too, I think
  2315. 1:27:08a lot of people never restart their
  2316. 1:27:09[ __ ] servers.
  2317. 1:27:11Um occasionally restart your [ __ ] Like
  2318. 1:27:14yeah. Y'all need to do that. At least
  2319. 1:27:16once a month. I always do it before a
  2320. 1:27:18big drop. Um
  2321. 1:27:21restart your [ __ ]
  2322. 1:27:23It'd be like if you left your computer
  2323. 1:27:24on for months. Like you probably notice
  2324. 1:27:26your computer starts to get sluggish if
  2325. 1:27:28you were leave it on for a couple days.
  2326. 1:27:30Imagine leave And they are designed to
  2327. 1:27:32be on forever.
  2328. 1:27:33But still
  2329. 1:27:36you'll do your
  2330. 1:27:36>> thing you want is your computer is your
  2331. 1:27:38server to crash mid drop. It happened It
  2332. 1:27:40happened on a Pokémon Center ascended
  2333. 1:27:42hero restock. Yeah, that's the last
  2334. 1:27:44thing you [ __ ] want. Your [ __ ] will
  2335. 1:27:45it'll just run a lot smoother.
  2336. 1:27:49So, occasionally restart your [ __ ]
  2337. 1:27:57Uh any more questions
  2338. 1:27:59from the homies?
  2339. 1:28:06I got I got one more.
  2340. 1:28:09Yeah, what's up, man?
  2341. 1:28:09>> Um
  2342. 1:28:11I'm kind of
  2343. 1:28:12I don't really know too too much about
  2344. 1:28:13computers, but if you get a server, does
  2345. 1:28:15that kind of remove the need to upgrade
  2346. 1:28:19your PC if your PC is like a bottleneck?
  2347. 1:28:22Yes.
  2348. 1:28:22>> Like if it
  2349. 1:28:24Okay.
  2350. 1:28:25All right, cool.
  2351. 1:28:26Yes, I used to run I used to run back in
  2352. 1:28:29[ __ ] um the sneaker days, I used to
  2353. 1:28:31run uh on a Mac. I used to run on like a
  2354. 1:28:34[ __ ] 2000 2015 Mac.
  2355. 1:28:37And the server a server basically just
  2356. 1:28:40eliminates any need to like actually
  2357. 1:28:41upgrade your PC. It's basically if you
  2358. 1:28:43want to run stuff like Target, you know,
  2359. 1:28:46where you
  2360. 1:28:48kind of need to have it running on a on
  2361. 1:28:50your local. Bare metal works fine for
  2362. 1:28:52Target. Bare metal works perfectly. Yes.
  2363. 1:28:54>> Oh my gosh. Thank you.
  2364. 1:28:57Ooh.
  2365. 1:28:59I'm running my I'm running I'm running
  2366. 1:29:00my iPhone. That [ __ ] That shit's
  2367. 1:29:02battery's draining.
  2368. 1:29:04Um
  2369. 1:29:05you can think of it like this, like
  2370. 1:29:07you're It's like you're watching a
  2371. 1:29:08streamer play video games on his PC,
  2372. 1:29:10like it's just streaming the image to
  2373. 1:29:13you. Like the actual computer is sitting
  2374. 1:29:15in the data center, like doing all the
  2375. 1:29:17processing, like that's doing the actual
  2376. 1:29:21heavy lifting.
  2377. 1:29:22The only The only thing that would make
  2378. 1:29:24like a a server experience negative is
  2379. 1:29:27would be like your internet connection
  2380. 1:29:28cuz it's it needs to maintain that
  2381. 1:29:29connection and constantly be getting,
  2382. 1:29:31you know,
  2383. 1:29:32that streaming video. Which the the
  2384. 1:29:35negatives there would be like maybe a
  2385. 1:29:37laggy input, you know, from your mouse
  2386. 1:29:39or
  2387. 1:29:40you know, that's that's really
  2388. 1:29:42the negatives you would see on your end.
  2389. 1:29:45>> [snorts]
  2390. 1:29:46>> Well, thanks. Yep.
  2391. 1:29:48So, why is there less less latency
  2392. 1:29:51than rather running it local?
  2393. 1:29:54Is it just the way they got it set up?
  2394. 1:29:56Cuz that [ __ ] is sitting in a [ __ ]
  2395. 1:29:58data center plugged into the
  2396. 1:30:01>> Got you. like where the servers are.
  2397. 1:30:03Like your
  2398. 1:30:04your server ping is your ping to like
  2399. 1:30:08Walmart and Amazon and [ __ ] like that is
  2400. 1:30:10going to literally be like zero
  2401. 1:30:12milliseconds.
  2402. 1:30:14Like if I were to test my ping on my
  2403. 1:30:15server to Amazon, it's zero [ __ ]
  2404. 1:30:17milliseconds cuz that's where like the
  2405. 1:30:19AWS servers are.
  2406. 1:30:21Um Virginia is like where a lot of the
  2407. 1:30:25country's like
  2408. 1:30:27um
  2409. 1:30:28servers are. So
  2410. 1:30:30It's like why headphones and trading
  2411. 1:30:32firms they have their data centers right
  2412. 1:30:34next to the Yep.
  2413. 1:30:36And so they could basically put their
  2414. 1:30:37trades in without delay. No no pings.
  2415. 1:30:41Yep.
  2416. 1:30:42So is New York or Virginia better for
  2417. 1:30:44Walmart then? Would it be Virginia?
  2418. 1:30:47I believe it's Virginia.
  2419. 1:30:48Everyone's on Virginia.
  2420. 1:30:50I'm on Virginia. My ping is great.
  2421. 1:30:55Everybody want to be on Virginia.
  2422. 1:30:58Thank you so much. Appreciate you
  2423. 1:31:00answering all my questions and all the
  2424. 1:31:01info, dude. You're the best.
  2425. 1:31:03Of course, homie. It's a team effort.
  2426. 1:31:05I'm just a part.
  2427. 1:31:05>> I'll send you the invoice later.
  2428. 1:31:08>> [laughter]
  2429. 1:31:09>> He thinks I'm lying.
  2430. 1:31:11But yeah, anytime you guys need Let me
  2431. 1:31:12hit those drops, man, and then we'll
  2432. 1:31:14talk.
  2433. 1:31:15All right, guys. You good luck, all
  2434. 1:31:17right?
  2435. 1:31:18Later, G.
  2436. 1:31:19Peace.
  2437. 1:31:20Thank you.
  2438. 1:31:24Yo Kenny, so do you get cans on your
  2439. 1:31:26on PKC or not? Cuz that's what I'm
  2440. 1:31:28that's what I'm having issues with where
  2441. 1:31:30my my checkout will go through, but
  2442. 1:31:32when it comes time to ship
  2443. 1:31:34Yeah, it's the
  2444. 1:31:35>> address a whole address depending on how
  2445. 1:31:38on if there's jigs on the
  2446. 1:31:40on the whole thing cuz even the address
  2447. 1:31:42without the jig will start getting
  2448. 1:31:43canned. Yeah, it's the
  2449. 1:31:44>> That's what I'm having issues with.
  2450. 1:31:45Yeah, I lost all my Senate Heroes and
  2451. 1:31:47then it seems like you know some drops
  2452. 1:31:49will be perfectly fine and then some
  2453. 1:31:51I'll just get completely host.
  2454. 1:31:55I don't really know what to make about
  2455. 1:31:56it. Let me just be honest. realize that
  2456. 1:31:59y'all you and you and Craig's during
  2457. 1:32:01journey together also had a bunch of
  2458. 1:32:02your [ __ ] canned, too. Mhm. Yeah, it's
  2459. 1:32:05happened to me a couple times.
  2460. 1:32:06>> That's That's Okay, that's probably what
  2461. 1:32:08it is cuz for Ascended Heroes
  2462. 1:32:11for Ascended Heroes, all of my stuff
  2463. 1:32:12shipped, but I only got one checkout per
  2464. 1:32:14address that I was using with the
  2465. 1:32:15exception of a few that just didn't go
  2466. 1:32:17through at all. It was a decision
  2467. 1:32:19manager.
  2468. 1:32:20But for restocks, like for restocks, um
  2469. 1:32:23Pokémon Day restock, a lot of people got
  2470. 1:32:25canned. People were saying that it was
  2471. 1:32:27uh
  2472. 1:32:27what's it called? A stock issue for the
  2473. 1:32:29most part. But everything coming to my
  2474. 1:32:31house obliterated, gone.
  2475. 1:32:34Stuff going to the other places that I
  2476. 1:32:36that I'm using,
  2477. 1:32:38they only had one order and they were
  2478. 1:32:39heavily jigged. The orders went through,
  2479. 1:32:42but even my regular address where
  2480. 1:32:45addy was completely normal, it got
  2481. 1:32:48I never know
  2482. 1:32:48>> It got It got canned with all the with
  2483. 1:32:50the whole single case.
  2484. 1:32:51I mean, I've I've personally never
  2485. 1:32:54noticed any pattern cuz on my end, it's
  2486. 1:32:56it's always been like everything canned
  2487. 1:32:58or I've been basically fine.
  2488. 1:33:01Um
  2489. 1:33:02And I guess [snorts] I'm kind of overall
  2490. 1:33:04just numb
  2491. 1:33:05to cancels and just all that. Like I've
  2492. 1:33:09been doing this [ __ ] for so long and
  2493. 1:33:11I'm just kind of
  2494. 1:33:12>> success. I feel you. No, it's not even
  2495. 1:33:14that. It's just like it's just happened
  2496. 1:33:16so much. Like I've just learned to not
  2497. 1:33:18like get emotional.
  2498. 1:33:20>> Yeah, like I don't get like
  2499. 1:33:22>> Yeah.
  2500. 1:33:22The only drop of of late that really got
  2501. 1:33:26in my [ __ ] head was the Walmart
  2502. 1:33:27Ascended Heroes drop.
  2503. 1:33:29Cuz my my [ __ ] was
  2504. 1:33:32perfect up into that drop. In that drop,
  2505. 1:33:35I just ate ate total [ __ ]
  2506. 1:33:38>> [snorts]
  2507. 1:33:39>> I think that's the only time in the last
  2508. 1:33:41probably like year I've really been
  2509. 1:33:45extravagantly angry after a drop.
  2510. 1:33:48Cuz that was me watching
  2511. 1:33:51probably 40K slip through my fingers,
  2512. 1:33:53which felt awful.
  2513. 1:33:54>> Yeah.
  2514. 1:33:56Yeah, but
  2515. 1:33:57I let after day or so I let it simmer
  2516. 1:33:59and I'll be all right. We'll run it back
  2517. 1:34:01on something else.
  2518. 1:34:03Yeah, I'm more so worried cuz even
  2519. 1:34:05though perfect order is going to be, you
  2520. 1:34:07know, it's it's it's not looking too
  2521. 1:34:08popular. Booster boxes are a little bit
  2522. 1:34:10on the come up a bit. I believe they're
  2523. 1:34:11sitting at around 220 again.
  2524. 1:34:13Um
  2525. 1:34:15What's it called? I have
  2526. 1:34:18me or me specifically, I know I know we
  2527. 1:34:21hit with someone else as well. I think I
  2528. 1:34:23got like 22 checkouts total for booster
  2529. 1:34:25boxes and whatever the other one the the
  2530. 1:34:28ETB.
  2531. 1:34:30However,
  2532. 1:34:32my main concern is that I don't mind if
  2533. 1:34:33some of them get canceled. I kind of
  2534. 1:34:35overextended. That was it was 2:00 a.m.
  2535. 1:34:38in Japan when when when I was running
  2536. 1:34:39this [ __ ] you know? So I'm more so
  2537. 1:34:41concerned about everything just straight
  2538. 1:34:43up just the whole the whole board just
  2539. 1:34:45getting wiped out.
  2540. 1:34:47Yeah.
  2541. 1:34:48Cuz although I'm okay with losing the
  2542. 1:34:50booster boxes, I'm not too okay with
  2543. 1:34:51losing the ETBs. That site's slowly
  2544. 1:34:54becoming increasingly frustrating. It
  2545. 1:34:55really is.
  2546. 1:34:56>> It really is again.
  2547. 1:34:57>> [snorts]
  2548. 1:34:58>> Um
  2549. 1:35:01Yeah, there's just a lot of speculation
  2550. 1:35:02around it. I mean, I don't
  2551. 1:35:04I hate being speculatory.
  2552. 1:35:07Um
  2553. 1:35:10I don't know. I I wish there was
  2554. 1:35:12something concrete
  2555. 1:35:14on it. I I've I've had
  2556. 1:35:16personally bad luck recently on there
  2557. 1:35:18with them with cans.
  2558. 1:35:22But
  2559. 1:35:23we'll see.
  2560. 1:35:25Mhm. I've been in the same spot for so
  2561. 1:35:27long. I Who knows what my address shows
  2562. 1:35:30up with with fraud flags? Probably all
  2563. 1:35:32sorts of crazy [ __ ]
  2564. 1:35:38RIP whoever lives here after me. You
  2565. 1:35:40ain't getting nothing shipped here.
  2566. 1:35:44The whole Nike address has been can't
  2567. 1:35:45buy from Nike. I haven't seen a Nike
  2568. 1:35:48package get delivered here in like 2
  2569. 1:35:50years.
  2570. 1:35:53Yeah, sure.
  2571. 1:35:54>> [laughter]
  2572. 1:35:56>> Yeah. Oh yeah, I was going to ask you as
  2573. 1:35:58well. It's not really much like a
  2574. 1:35:59question for all this stuff. Did you
  2575. 1:36:01pick up any of those palm easons from
  2576. 1:36:03Pokémon Center or not?
  2577. 1:36:06The what? The the the tins. You know how
  2578. 1:36:10they did the all the bundles for Pokémon
  2579. 1:36:12Day? Oh, no. I got in a queue way too
  2580. 1:36:14late for that, like Mhm.
  2581. 1:36:16Dude, they had XY evolutions in them.
  2582. 1:36:18That's a $100 pack for a $30 [ __ ]
  2583. 1:36:21purchase. [snorts] Yeah. I mean, I
  2584. 1:36:23usually don't get in the Pokémon Center
  2585. 1:36:24queue too fast because it's I mean that
  2586. 1:36:29it may sound extreme, but like that 30
  2587. 1:36:31seconds, you know, of me Oh, yeah. I
  2588. 1:36:33know that.
  2589. 1:36:34>> pinging the monitor and doing X and Y
  2590. 1:36:36and Z, you know, that takes priority
  2591. 1:36:38over me starting to solve captures and
  2592. 1:36:39[ __ ] and
  2593. 1:36:41um Mhm.
  2594. 1:36:43I mean, on that bundle drop, it was it
  2595. 1:36:45was so random and [ __ ] kept hitting the
  2596. 1:36:47monitors and I was trying to figure out
  2597. 1:36:48what was what that
  2598. 1:36:50I it was probably 15 minutes before I
  2599. 1:36:52even started solving captures. So
  2600. 1:36:54Oh, believe me. Believe me, I [ __ ]
  2601. 1:36:56know about that [ __ ]
  2602. 1:36:58Yeah, it's just the nature of it. It's
  2603. 1:37:00no big deal. I'm not I don't mean that
  2604. 1:37:01as like any sort of complaint.
  2605. 1:37:04Nah, nah. It's understandable. You have
  2606. 1:37:06a you have a job to do. You got to let
  2607. 1:37:07us know whenever that [ __ ] happens,
  2608. 1:37:09whenever that [ __ ] drops. Yeah, yeah. It
  2609. 1:37:11just takes priority.
  2610. 1:37:12It's no big deal.
  2611. 1:37:16I cook enough when the opportunities
  2612. 1:37:17present. That's why I love, you know,
  2613. 1:37:19sites like Walmart. Yes.
  2614. 1:37:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
  2615. 1:37:32What do you mean task ratios?
  2616. 1:37:39I don't think there is such thing as a
  2617. 1:37:40task ratio. You run tasks your profiles
  2618. 1:37:42as much as you [ __ ] want.
  2619. 1:37:44>> [snorts]
  2620. 1:37:51>> Worst they can do is just keep hitting
  2621. 1:37:53you with the decision manager.
  2622. 1:38:05>> [sighs]
  2623. 1:38:06>> Oh boy, I'm tired. I might need a little
  2624. 1:38:08midday nap.
  2625. 1:38:12>> [snorts]

  2695. 1:41:13out it's tech the the name is Tokyo Bay,

  2716. 1:41:52I got 10 more."
  2717. 1:41:53Raise the price up to 60, 65, 70. They
  2718. 1:41:56started slowing down, but there was
  2719. 1:41:57purchases still, so I lowered it back
