Since a few days ago I notice that the âspeedy nodesâ are slower than usual, has something changed? I used to use this service because of the speed of its nodes, but now it does not work for me.
are you referring to BSC archive in particular?
No, iâm using speedy nodes for a sniper bot for nfts in a marketplace. Last week, node had a good speed transaction, but now i loss all bids and my gas. Has something been changed in this aspect?
on what chain in particular?
In binance smart chain.
first column is today, second column is 4-5 days ago. Obviously not all of them are won, but from there to none is very rare.
you say that those transactions failed because they got processed too late (but you sent them on time), or you sent them too late because you didnât have latest data on time?
They were processed too late compared to previous days. âAre slowerâ as other people get to bid before me. It used to be once in a while and since a few days ago it is always(as seen in the picture). And the bot I havenât touched it and have been using it for a couple of weeks with no problems. So I think it is something of your service.
There are many reasons the sniping strategy could be failing
More competition from other traders that discover this sniping method and run their own bots
Higher gas etc
You can check ping of our nodes to see their speed
The speed of the nodes is just a part in weather some arbitrage will succeed or not
Maybe try other node providers and see if itâs different and then tell us here
I know there are more competitors, I also know about the price and thatâs not the reason. I lose them by 5-6miliseconds, something that didnât always happen a few days ago.
Whatâs the use of looking at the ping with the node, if I donât know how much ping I had before? How can I see it? I tried other services and moralis was the best, but now I lose all bids and gas.
Have you changed anything in the speesy nodes, how could I improve this? I was thinking about a fullnode but it is too expensive for me at the moment.
how do you know that you lose them at 5-6 milliseconds?
Because Iâm bidding on a nft and I see the transaction that took it. And I compare the successful transaction with mine that failed. In it I can also see the gas it has used and the maximum. So I know that is not the reason either.
Our BSC non-archive should be working as before
They should as fast as before
Therefore I suggest you try some other node provider so we know if itâs your strategy that doesnât work anymore or if itâs something with the nodes
I use the same program as before. I havenât modified anything, so I think itâs up to you. I have already tried others like getblock, chainstack⌠And you guys had the best speed, until a few days ago. Are you sure you havenât changed anything? How could I improve the speed? You donât have any plan for it, do you?
The same program can work today and not tomorrow because market changes, more people use same strategy etc
Thatâs why you always have to evolve your bot to stay ahead
I donât think its the speed as our nodes are as before
But the market always changes
Arbitrage opportunities like sniping bots need to be evolved to keep working
few days ago, when you were winning, do you know what was the time interval until the next transaction that failed and had a bid on same NFT?
I know that. The bot is made by me and nothing has changed, there may be more competitors. As I said before, itâs normal that I donât take many of them, but not all⌠I tell you, I have used the bot for 2 weeks with moralis and it was fine. Now I lose money xd
Try another node provider and let us know if it starts working - maybe some node provider became faster than us
our nodes are same as before
I donât quite understand what you want to ask me. Excuse me, Iâm not a native English speaker, do you mean how much time difference did you have with the others? I canât know that, because there may have been 200 bidders for the same NFT, I would have to go to the contract history and look at the failed bids one by one and take the ones for the same NFT that I won.
But if it would help me, I could do itâŚ
Right now, as I told you you were the fastest. I tried all the ones suggested by binance smart chain.
okok we are always looking into making nodes faster
