[diMarcoDEV]

Me too! Taking forever!!

[Cryptocobi]

So this bot is not working ? @akegaviar

[Psykepro]

I have this issue as well. @akegaviar how to fix it?

Guys, check the readme note on limits https://github.com/chainstacklabs/pump-fun-bot/blob/093459d28034f0d357879616364c85f1764789bc/README.md?plain=1#L25

95% of the time it depends on the node you are using, the RPS, the SwQoS status and so on. There's a lot of nuance.

Not prompting for you guys go and pay for anything, but Solana is a pretty complex piece of architecture (and pretty amazing too), but with how fast it goes and how the data propagates, and how fast the node receives the latest nertwork and so on. It costs quite a bit to maintain the node infrastructure — so all of that boils down to a few points:

• The node you are using — public RPCs and free plans 99% of the time won't work. Simply because it's not viable cost-wise to maintain for those who provide the service
• Paid plans and the respective RPS on the plans
• Use of staked connections — SwQoS etc (these always cost more than regular requests/txs)
• Use of priority fees
• Possibly location
• Node status
• etc

For the Chainstack part, I can suggest you to get familiar with the following resources (and think about your infrastructure):

• Solana specific limits and available options: Limits and Pricing
• Solana Warp transactions — note that requests on those nodes are served at regular Request Units (as in using normal nodes) but each transaction incurs additional cost. So if you are going with those, I suggest you either know what you are doing or a wiling to spend a few $ for your experiments and setup tuning
• Priority fees — eg check here How to use Priority Fees to unlock faster transactions
• Node status — for Chainstack, you can check here: Status. Same with most other providers, if you just type status.your-provider-domain
• Solana specific architecture caveats — like this one blockSubscribe method issues anza-xyz/agave#3879

Hey there, starting from the next week (week of March 10) we'll be rolling out updates to the bot v2 based on the feedback and the reported issues, including updating to the latest libs, better error handling etc. We are already actively working on it.

That'll be in a separate branch.

So for this particular issue, I suggest trying out a new version in a separate branch. We'll let you know.

Also, check out the readme for the roadmap that I just added in the README file for the full overview.

@Sahilkhurana @Psykepro @diMarcoDEV @Cryptocobi Hi!⚠ The completely refactored bot has been merged into the main branch. Please use the updated bot.

Among others, the updated bot has so-called extreme fast mode - there are no additional RPC calls between token detection and sending a buy transaction. Creating ATA is incorporated into the buy transaction. Feel free to test it.

Closing this issue since it refers to the outdated code.
