For all idlers buying keys with their collected metals : stop. If you keep raising the price of the keys by buying them,soon what we collect won't worth anything. If you stop buying keys then market will crash and we will be able to buy many keys as we want from around 2.5-2.66 ref each.

The price of keys has gone up because there are less keys available in the market. All that stopping buying keys is going to do is TEMPORARILY lower the price because you are artificially raising the supply by artificially lowering demand. Unless you are talking about wholesale buying less keys overall then your proposal will not work. My guess is that the price of keys has gone up due to both a decrease in the number of keys in the market AND the ease at which you can idle. More idlers the higher the price will go. So what do you suggest that we use the metal for instead or should we just sit on it? Then what do you think will happen when all that metal needs to be released into the market? The price goes up.

It may may not make sense but if you were following the market you would have known key stock was growing the whole time key prices went up.It even hit 400k faster than i ever expected (Before xmas) but went down a little due festive unbox thing.(Not really much though.Still very high.) What also affected keys to increase rapidly was backpack.tf becoming a very known site and when people started to follow their prices,sellers just went there and tried increasing key prices repeatedly until some mod agreed with them,which they did again and again. I'm not trying to manipulate market here.It would be very stupid trying to affect a market talking to just a few possible traders.I'm just informing.

[QUOTE=thinmint;38952109]I followed this guide after reading over it a couple of times tonight. So far I have two accounts with matching .bat files working. Both of the idle.bats and trade.bats work when run non-sandboxed individually; I successfully connect to the server and idling works, or steam opens. However, when I run the Idle_All.bat, everything runs as planned until the textmode console opens. It says: Both convars must be marked fcvar_replicated for linkage to work Max players set to 24 and then proceeds to close on both accounts with no error message or 'hl2.exe has stopped working' message I have triple checked my settings in sandboxie to make sure that both boxes are configured in accordance to the OP. I have also tried launching TF2 from Steam in sandboxie mode as well. Non-textmode it closes two seconds after the window opens and textmode does the same thing as described above. I'm super close and it's driving me insane! If anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it![/QUOTE] Does anyone have any advice? I've tried normally running tf2 in both textmode and normal mode in both the trial (legitimate) version of Sandboxie and a pirated version. I know it's just an issue of getting tf2 to run while sandboxed, but I don't know what to do.

[QUOTE=SSlotts;38897120]Is there a program to trade from your idles to your main account or is everyone still doing it manually?[/QUOTE] Most people (including myself) manually trade it. I've been wanting to implement some kind of script that would force them to all trade me at the end of the two weeks after drop cap resets to just trade me all of the stuff so I wouldn't have to do it myself, but it remains to have made progress.

I keep having problems with the 'failed to download item schema'. I tried idling last night and I got none.

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;39111564]I keep having problems with the 'failed to download item schema'. I tried idling last night and I got none.[/QUOTE] doesn't affect idling in the end

Game coordinator was having problems, idk if it was fixed already

What happened to that Russian guy that would upgrade your accounts to premium for a key?

Hi, i have a weird problem. I got like 7 accounts so far, and everyday i'm running 2 due I don't have 8GB ram, but who cares. Anyway when I launch accounts 1&2 It's working as well, but from accounts 3-7 When i running idle.exe and then I see the executing list of servers line it's show me the Team Fortress 2 Menu and then It's stuck on black screen and I can't close that, the only solution I found is to restart my computer or click shift + alt + del about 25 minutes... anyway Why it's happening? Why In accounts 1-2 It's only launching the "cmd" of idle.exe and from accounts 3-7 It's running the "cmd" of idle.exe BUT it's showing me the the TF2 menu for a second and then I see a black screen. I really need your help it's really annoying.

[QUOTE=radek;39117136]add -windowed into the launch settings of all your accounts[/QUOTE] Thank you, it's working. Another question, Is there a way to use less RAM? I don't know like hosting one server on lan for all my bots or something like that? I mean, I'll finish with all bots in one night instant for 4 day's it would be great, and then I can have more accounts.. Thanks again.

It will save a lot of time for me, and power costs a lot for whole night. I got 4GB ram, how many accounts can be in same time if every account use 315,000K memory?

Sorry, but why does one need multiple premium accounts?

[QUOTE=powback;39134557]Sorry, but why does one need multiple premium accounts?[/QUOTE] Why limit yourself to 6-10 items a week when you can be getting 6-10x# of accounts you idle per week... Really you ask in an idling thread?

Would it be possible to create a Bot for your accounts so you don't have to spend 2 hours trading stuff from your accounts.

[QUOTE=Fayez;39176677]Would it be possible to create a Bot for your accounts so you don't have to spend 2 hours trading stuff from your accounts.[/QUOTE] it is possible,with right coding information and people. No one made that (or released to public) yet though.

[QUOTE=Fayez;39176677]Would it be possible to create a Bot for your accounts so you don't have to spend 2 hours trading stuff from your accounts.[/QUOTE] yep. my process at the moment includes trading all items to one account, then using [url=http://sim.didrole.com/]Didrole's Item Manager[/url] and auto crafting. Then trade the refined, hats etc to my main. doesn't take me too long with 8 accounts.

It's giving me the 'Failed to download item schema' again. It doesn't affect idling, but this scares me.

btw how do ppl get 8 MB ram usage on their hl2.exe ? my lowest number is around 100.000 MB and running 8 acc + 1 server already the maximum for my 4 GB ram. i can't launch games or anything, but still can launch a browser, is that normal though?
