In anticipation of the end of mining after Party Beta takes effect
 

I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything.

My understanding is that Party Beta software does not permit importing observed hands, and that will become the rule eventually.

I've never been a big miner myself, mostly because I've been playing elsewhere. But I'm just curious: are people making any special efforts to datamine at Party in anticipation of this change?

And is there going to be a big market for selling observed hands, in the immediate aftermath of the change, whenever it happens?

Is this true?

According to what I've read at the Poketracker forum and elsewhere, it is true.

See this thread, for example.

the current version of the beta does not save observed hands to the local drive and doesn't give the play by play in the chat box - so, yes it appears to be true.

I still have the the original PP on my comp. anyway to keep it from upgrading?

Once the beta is over - Unlikely

GOOD.

Writing a program which read HH's from what is going on the table (you very easily can read chat or even recognize card images) and then convert it to std HH format is very easy programming task (my friend wrote it in one day for other site when he had his crazy bot ideas). I think dataminers will be quick to get their own program for that.

Best wishes

if they are keeping the ability to open tables and continue to pump the hand info to the chat box something can easily be done a la UB hand grabber.

Well, Dark Knight says here that "the current version of the beta does not save observed hands to the local drive and doesn't give the play by play in the chat box."
