Are there any other better and more updated bots out there? |

For my number three issue I used Bing Precise mode to potentially solve the issue by prompting the AI to edit the code to implement bobdabear's advice, see: #282. I harnessed Microsoft's AI to help me break Microsoft's terms of service 😂. Keep in mind I know nothing about coding. Basically, I asked Bing to implement changes in the searches.py file because it seemed obvious that this was relevant since @bobdabear mentioned this in his enhancement about improving the search code. From this Bing suggested other files I could give it, so that it could find and change them. It seems to be working, although it still follows the order daily sets, then punch cards and then more promo. |

Here are the main issues with the bot, that ideally we should work on and implement countermeasures against, as soon as we can:
1. The bot has high power and data consumption (huge deal).
2. The bot is slow.
3. The United States (US) has significantly more daily points available, for anyone outside the US this is a lot of potential points missed. Could we integrate a VPN or other measure into the bot to allow people overseas to capitalise on these points? Some more info here.
4. The bot is not self-sufficient, when errors occur it must be manually restarted. This causes it to repeat actions it has already completed, this especially problematic when using multiple accounts, where many resource intensive actions must are repeated redundantly. A useful feature would be for the bot to remember accounts that it has completed, note the time they were completed and then not use them in future restarts during that day (by day I mean before 12 am, since Microsoft resets challenges by the day, rather than by using a timer).
5. The bot times out randomly during mobile searches and when it does it continues to do so indefinitely. This issue was fixed here by a legend: #276. Why hasn't this been integrated into the original script? Edit: this pull request was closed by the creator, make sure you use it!
6. The bot has gotten my accounts locked. Why haven't these enhancements been implemented: #282 and #223, to solve this issue.
7. Lastly, this is not so much a big problem, but the script is only usable by people with knowledge in coding. I have zero knowledge in coding, I somehow used my intuition to download this thing and get it running, along with Googling things. Maybe one day this may become an extension or application. As an incentive donations could be made in the application, to people who participated in the development of the bot.
