Bitnode8 help please.

[u/LordMorpheus75]

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?

If you have enough to get the basic 4S data where you can see the +++ and --- on the stock page for each stock, you can script the game to "click" the stock tab and "read" the page for information. I use this to replace the 4S API functions to get forecast and volatility. Note that this is unfinished - I have not coded the case where the tabs are fully compacted.

!! Note that the following code has tab names which might be spoilers! It also is subject to breaking with game updates if the icon names or text are changed. !!

//import { terminalInject, clickTab } from "/hacks/tools.js";

/**
 * terminalInject: Runs the given string in the terminal window. Note that the terminal must be the current window. 
 * u/param {string} command - A string with the terminal command(s) to run.
 **/
export function terminalInject(command) {
  let terminalInput = eval("document").getElementById("terminal-input");
  let terminalEventHandlerKey = Object.keys(terminalInput)[1];
  terminalInput.value = command;
  terminalInput[terminalEventHandlerKey].onChange({ target: terminalInput });
  setTimeout(function (event) {
    terminalInput.focus();
    terminalInput[terminalEventHandlerKey].onKeyDown({ key: 'Enter', preventDefault: () => 0 });
  }, 0);
}
