I personally dont believe PF is detectable. I think everyone who is getting banned is teleporting insane distances or somehow screwing up. After patch 110 on PF (not saying it was because of the patch, I just learned a little better how to use it) I havent even seen a soft ban. I have kept my botting close to home, allowed reasonable travel times between moving from one location to another. After patch 115, there is almost no reason to log into the phone anymore unless the bot doesnt open eggs still. If you create an account at home, then bam its teleported half a globe away farming, and you get banned, well I never teleported..... yeah you kinda did. but anyhwho. Thats just how I've been botting no issues. *knock on wood*

Nah, think the guy is right.
I've tried 5 accounts. My last account reached level 25, just banned this morning. I kept my botting limit under 8 hrs a day, with less than 100 000 exp a day and used the poke timer to keep under 1200 spins/700 pokemon caught each day just incase. I only botted in my own neighbourhood with Cyber ghost premium set to my location as well, just incase my personal ip was recognized. I only used jogging speed, I never teleported and only farmed around my city. I also never used the pokefarm UI, and when I did login to my phone I waited 30 mins prior to shutting the bot down. Only to collect awards and level up achievements each level. I never fucked up once, not even so much as one soft ban. I had my bot shut off all night only to wake up to the ban hammer this morning.
Edit* Never once trained or placed pokemon in a gym either.

Niantic detects pokefarm 100%
There is some thing that needs to be rewritten in the code. Something is screaming 'I am a Bot' and Niantic hears it.
At least in a sense that Pokefarm isn't sending all the data Niantic is reqesting and or looking for. Such as....

Mobile device usage statistics
APK encrypted signatures
Mobile Data Strength/Weakness
Wifi Data Strength/Weakness
Regional IP locale
GPS Float with Acceleration/Deceleration
GPS Altitude
Battery Discharge, Recharge Rates
Dynamic Gameplay
Accelerometer Actions
Mobile Device Usage Statistics
The SU Binary
System level GPS Spoof
Side loaded APK's

Everything has to constantly fluctuate, signal strenght, walking speed, battery usage and any other statistic Niantic requests cannot remain the same from level 1 to 40.

PF Isn't detectable, however the API? Communications are detectable, and won't send the correct information back to server, thus flagging your account.
Ran two accounts in sensible situations - Home town, walking speed, 100m radius, camped lured spots 6-10 hours daily, banned at 20-23. Ran another two accounts, 50KM speed, 1000m radius, 1 hour - 3 hours daily, still active and kicking.

We need to wait for another API eventually this will save us

Botting is having a hard time.
