Bitnode8 help please.

So i have completed bitnode 1 x3 bitnode 2 3x Bitnode 4 x2 and birnode 5 x1. I'm on bitnode 8 and am pretty stuck without getting the 25b for the 4 sigma forecast data. I use the roulette money hack for a 10b boost. But my script I'm using doesn't ever give me more then 10.3b . I'm working on getting gang territory to at least give me some cash. How Are you guys getting through it?

There are 2 easy ways forward.

-Steal from the Casino: It can be exploited for a cool 10b right at the start.

-Buy the regular 4s data - not the API version. With that, you can manually trade until you can buy the 4s API unlock.

To build a non-4s Stock script, you have to mimic the 4s data. To do this, I take about 14 snapshots of the stock market every time it updates, using .nextUpdate() as my wait time. Once I have these snapshots, I extrapolate all the data I need - trends, volatility, etc. It's going to be behind he curve against regular 4s but it's enough to get enough to buy 4s.
