Thanks. If it's possible, does the above still look intuitively ok when crossed against total number of people logged-in? Given the speed of auto-logout, it's unlikely anyone was online unless bidding. I was online, just to watch the fun and track the speed things were eaten at. I think my partner was too, but I don't believe she managed to buy anything on this occasion. The cat was on the android tablet, but that was just because it was the warmest spot, and it doesn't have an account anyway. 8>.

How well did loads of the loan invest page correlate with purchase of the loan, at an account level? That is, any sign that buy requests were being made without recent loads of the page where you normally enter how much you want to buy? *
* One technique for bot identification can be adding a timestamp and other factor "branding" to the normal buy request post so that the delay between brand being issued and buy using it made can be tracked, and "impossible" duplicate buys with the same brand noticed as well.

missed again I have to say I like COL's hybrid system to get invested, although it is only on new loans. I quite like col system it seems to work well and also I noticed there is a 5 min gap between the 2 loans that should help smooth things along I got lucky today with mt I was not going to bother but needed to test my trigger finger

OK, so who's going for the £31 this afternoon? Game theory would suggest the clever strategy will be to request £6 not £25 (not that I intend taking my own advice )

all gone in 4 seconds.
RE the Gaming Theory point, my understanding was that if you ask for more than is left (e.g. ask for £25 when only £6 remains) you will be allocated that smaller amount, rather than leaving the party empty handed?

I didn't leave the party empty handed I went to a different party over at COL. A lot more expensive there than £25, and still some left over but I've had my fill. Looks like I'll be back partying at MT Sat and Sun might even run into Monday.

Do we have an issue related to bots scanning the secondary market? I'd be interested in MoneyThing's view, as it seems to be the the same handful of people 'instantly' scooping up offers across the board. if so could I suggest a simple solution (either/or/both) 1. An mail to users when a sale of a decent size, say >£500 comes onto the market 2. A restriction on how may SM bids one user can make inside, say 5 minutes? Any views?

Persoanlly I do not bother but some people have the page to notify when changes, so if at computer can get on pretty quick. From a sellers point of view why would you want to restrict someone buying, as that is the point of the secondary market.
