what's up boyz, been in the botting scene since the v1 days of cyber and wrath. i've noticed a lot of people asking how to get into the 'cooking' game without getting bricked. last month i cleared $5k profit just from the latest gpu and sneaker drops. here is the real breakdown of a professional botting setup in 2026.
the setup:
- bots: u need a multi-platform bot like MEK or Valor for sneakers, and custom request-based scripts for hardware (bestbuy/amazon). manual is dead, don't even try lol.
- proxies: isp proxies for initial task starting and residential proxies for the actual checkouts. if ur proxies are slow, u get 'pushed to queue' and it's game over.
- servers: run ur bots on a vps as close to the shop's server as possible (ashburn/virginia for most us sites). 10ms latency is the difference between a W and an L.
anyone else here still cooking? i'm looking for a new source for residential proxies that don't get 'throttled' by shopify's new protection. hit me up below! :D

is botting still worth it with all these anti-bot updates? feels like a lot of work for a small margin
