Profitable Flashloans (BSC): 'connection failed'

#1

So I’ve deployed my bsc contract to the mainnet and when I try to run the run-arbitrage.js, Im getting a connection failed error

My WSS is connected properly to moralis, any ideas?

G:\Dev\ETH Flashloans>node run-arbitrage.js
G:\Dev\ETH Flashloans\node_modules\web3-core-helpers\lib\errors.js:66
        const error = new Error(msg);
                      ^

Error: connection not open on send()

I’ve ran the node run-arbitrage.js command again and it started working

Hello,

Very nice. So did you make profits ?

not yet, I’m running into some issues with running the script 24/7 - the api calls to the bscnode is timing out and disconnecting so I need to update the script to auto reconnect

Oh I got it. Do you use a free websocket API provider ? I checked on ANKR but It wasn’t free…

#6

yes i used a free WS provider.
ANKR gave me problems, moralis was good but kept disconnecting.
I thought it was a free service problem and paid for 50m calls on getblock and still getting the disconnection error… so a free service is good enough i think - moralis would be a good choice.
