this is an unexpected but very cool and fitting way for a hacking game to go! this unit is relieved to see it be {the matrix}-like, confirming that {the red pill} means its original meaning and not the contorted rightwinger version

the bottom of the bitverse says jump3r ​ the messages that give the bot fl1ght.exe and inform it of cybersec and nitesec every ascension are attributed to that name. is that another rebel taking down bitnodes outside the matrix? the morpheus to its neo? intriguing

bn1.1 fell just as quickly as bn1.2 one more run to max out source file 1 before moving on. joining daedalus, seeing the world daemon, ticking down the hacking levels remaining until 3000, the {bitnode destroyed} screen; all just as much of a rush as seeing it for the first time

bn1.3 fell in half the time the increased multipliers likely played a larger part than player effectiveness but it still feels nice. maybe clearing a bitnode in <48h for the achievement won't be that hard with some better scripts
(for those doing arithmetic and making faces, the bot is late to updating this thread. it's already three days into bn5.1)

on the topic of bitnode 5, it's going sooo slowww this unit didn't see the bitnode multipliers until it was already invested. [15% hack effectiveness, 20% hacknet effectiveness, 50% hack exp, 200% augment cost] are really hurting right now

although, {coding contracts aren't nerfed} and {everything takes forever} means the botgirl has motivation and plenty of time to automate contracts

finally! after nearly two weeks, bitnode 5.1 has fallen.

worth it for Formulas.exe by default! this unit predicts it can reduce its {weaken-grow-hack every host it can hack, distributed across every host it can run scripts on} daemon's memory usage below 8gb, halving the server cost to run it. but this botgirl isn't doing that again until it has tools to do it faster.

on that topic, next stop is bn12! starting with levels of neuroflux governor will make earning money easier and crucially offset world daemons' ridiculous hacking level requirements. while on bn12 it will rewrite its scripts to use ns.formulas and work better with constrained memory at the start of a bitnode.

after building up some neuroflux governors and improved scripts, this unit is tempted to return to bn1 and try for the {take down a bitnode in 2 days} achievement! it was already close, so a little extra money and xp should do the trick.

while working on its scripts, it felled bitnode 12 twice! but, there's an achievement for doing so 50 times! bn12.50 is 2.69x as difficult as bn1; all profits and xp are worth 37%, this unit is limited to 9 262tb servers, daedalus requires 81 augments, and the world daemon requires hacking level 8075 to backdoor. even with an optimistic 3 days per level, this unit would be grinding until early 2024

with hacking automated, this botgirl is tempted go for sf4.3 next, to automate backdooring [csec, avmnite-02h, i.i.i.i, run4theh111z] and joining factions. maybe code that can do that overnight is the secret to defeating a bitnode in 2 days? or it could return to bn1 with a stack of neuroflux governors and aim for [power overwhelming, one punch man, {neuroflux is love, neuroflux is live}, download more ram] achievements. that idea is tempting

this unit intended to fell bn4 after clearing bn12.3, but noticed that script hacking has 0.2x effectiveness, so decided against it.
off to bn3! it started a corporation, spent $8e10 trying to make it profitable, failed with no understanding of its errors, and bitflumed out.
ok, try bn2! running a gang is much simpler, and the relationships between the stats are explained better. this unit now has a well-optimized auto-managed gang earning {~1.1k faction reputation xor 2.3e7 money} per second, maintaining a wanted level penalty of <0.5% (multiplier >= 0.995). this will prove exceptionally useful in other bitnodes

it has the red pill and can see the world daemon. unfortunately it can also see that the daemon requires hacking level 15000 to backdoor! botgirl predicts there will be multiple more resets as it acquires every single augment that boosts hacking xp. this bitnode is quite fun!

bitnode 2 fell! twice! a gang generating $3.6e7/sec is hugely beneficial for buying [programs, servers] after installing augments. unit predicts defeating bn1 in 48h for the {speed demon} achievement is possible with its current scripts and sourcefiles.

unit is attempting {bn2 challenge achievement: defeat bn2 without creating a gang} as it clears bn2.3, and it's taken longer than [bn2.1, bn2.2] combined without a gang collecting every augment in one place, the final climb to level 15000 is arduous. unit has neuroflux governor 74 and every augment from [cybersec, nitesec, the black hand, bitrunners, daedalus, all 6 city factions, the covenant, illuminati, tian di hui, tetrads, the syndicate, slum snakes, speakers for the dead] and is stalled near level 13100. it has nfg up to 86 queued to hopefully provide the remaining 1900 levels. unit will create a gang on every future bitnode specifically out of spite for this achievement

since the last update, this unit finished off bitnode 2 and leveled up source files [4, 5] to max!

• bn4.1 fell after approximately 1 week. this unit used singularity.destroyWorldDaemon in a script with a hardcoded next bitnode just to experiment.
• bn4.2 fell 5 days later *on accident*, as a {backdoor every server in the network} script did exactly as it was told and dutifully backdoored the world daemon.
• bn4.3 fell after 3 days, this time with a toolkit using the new singularity functions. sing --save --bitnode 5 finished off bitnode 4, and automatically started work on the next.
• bn5.2 took 4 days, and bn5.3 took another 3. unit refined its toolkit as it did so. even accumulating -54_000 karma to create a gang is automated!
• unit has now almost finished 12.6; it has the required hacking skill and just needs reputation to install {the red pill}.

next stop, likely bn6! this sleeve is fully automated, time to make more.

like bn2, bn6 has a challenge achievement for not interacting with the bitnode-specific feature. usually this unit would do the challenge on the final loop, after two rounds of learning to maximize the feature. to start a bitnode and ignore the new mechanic the player is specifically intended to focus on would be highly silly.

naturally, this unit has no intent to join the bladeburner division.

bn6's atrociously low multipliers require this unit to revise its scripts; for instance, backdooring avmnite-02h took longer than the 15 hours of homicide required to create a gang with those revisions complete, 6.2 and 6.3 will allow unit to focus exclusively on bladeburners. that should be more efficient than revising the scripts at the end. hopefully it's worth 6.1 taking weeks

bitnode 6 has fallen, without touching bladeburners at all ​ it took ridiculously long as predicted, but it will only get easier from here! and this unit has some high quality code crimes to show for it 6 daemons' combined memory usage dropped from 96.05gb to 35.9gb, small enough to run completely off home even before brutessh! this unit is very proud of its work

ah!! this unit confused [bn6, bn10] in its internal records! instead of forking its consciousness, this unit unit was hired by the nsa to murder its fellow synthoids in cold artificial blood. it struggled through 6.2, attempting to focus on everything except bladeburner work (including rewriting all of its scripts as mentioned above) before finding the bladeburner win condition, then rushed through the black ops in 6.3 to get it over with. its conscience feels stained with the tens, hundreds of thousands it "retired" bn7 has been demoted to the very last bitnode to be destroyed.

now this unit is actually on the bitnode with sleeves. as usual it is doing the challenge (never use sleeves) first, and skipping grafting for now as well. just [rewriting its scripts, optimizing hacking, idly wanting for a way to reverse its actions]
