This is a good example of how not to code 👎

1. It only checks the first region of interesting_address es
2. Why would you Allocate every damn IP and check if it is nice? Can't you check if it is nice and then Allocate??

Thanks for writing this!

I think they nerfed this. I'm only getting a pool of like 3 total ips.

Edit: you get a pool of ~5 ips per minute, per region, per account. So this still works, just add a 1 minute sleep to the While
