So, yesterday at around 17:30 GMT+1 I have discovered that I could no longer log in from my phone (cannot request data from server). Any other account worked. I half expected this, since I made a lot of mistakes:
1. I started pokefarmer at Bossland and then immediately stopped it, moved it to my homecity and started it again - OOPS! (this was simply because I didn't know that you were supposed to pick location BEFORE starting the bot)
2. At one point I forgot the bot on before I left home. so it bot for 12 hours. I also logged in from my phone because I thought "hey, it's been 12 hours, usually it crashes after 6-7!"... it was still online.
3. I used my home wifi for all my botting. I was botting in my home city but not around the house, so this might have been a big issue. Every time I played legit I logged in from my phone ISP.
4. Used incubators in the last period (before they were removed).
5. I used driving speed for around 20 minutes one day. Probably shouldn't have (although come on, I take the buss every day and pick up pokestops while it's moving!)
6. I used biking speed for a 3 hour biking session, probably not a good idea either.
7. I used the transfer/recycle automatically feature for the first 5 days. I won't be using this again. It's very bot-like to have 150 items in your inventory and still be recycling 1 pokeball at a time. Same for pokemons, there are 4 pokemons around the bot and yet he stops to transfer and recycle?! No human would do that unless their inv was full!
hindsight is 20/20
I have another botting account (which has been botting at least 12h per day). I have never accessed this one on my phone, they were created at around the same time. It used incubators and transfer and recycling and it will probably get banned soon, I just find it weird that it hasn't been banned yet.
Anyway, I'm going to make a new account with which I will try to fix these mistakes and bot very carefully (few hours a day) without logging in from my phone. If it doesn't get banned, it might become my main one day
I won't bot from my main for now. Seems like the bot has some security issues to work out right now.
