Does this really work?

A bit buggy but it is legit, at the moment there are many bots at work so you dont get the actually buy cheap potatoes Huh

Its more like battle bots until the site owner adds captchas and other simple human test to at least slow it down. I have the impression he doesnt care as long as he gets his cut (I wouldnt be surprised if he added more potatoes without warning anyone to increase profit).

He might as well raise the baseline price of the potatoes to 100LTC which is where the bots seem to sleep.

Luckily someone could make a copy site and only take a smaller percent of a cut on the dead potatoes which right now is really high
(the highest profit potato gives 50% to the site owner and 100% to the potato seller) .eBay/paypal eat your heart out.

The site is not owned by a single person, and our lowest profit takes 5% of the total price. The point is that you can choose your level of risk, so we don't really need a clone site to do that for us since we already do it. However we do appreciate your feedback. As for the bots issue we currently feel that it is over the top to require users to enter a captcha before they can buy the potato. As said before we are monitoring the frequency of clicks from unique visitors, and once we roll out version 2 of the site we will have a panel to manually ban them for temporary amounts of time. We feel this is a much more elegant solution that won't hurt innocent users as much as a captcha, while still being able to root out the (comparatively) small number of botters. Remember, 100 people clicking on the potato at once is more traffic than a single bot can usually generate.

Best Regards!
