I made a very small update to the bot today that probably won't matter very much to you: Steem-Engine tokens will now be sent from the @ottermakerengine account instead of @ottermaker. Everything else remains the same, the only difference for the user is that if you want to check the wallet before sending cards or DEC you need to look here to see the bot's balances now. I'll put a technical explanation for why at the end of the post if you're interested.
Season Ending
As I write this we're about eight and a half hours from season rewards happening, and the bot is as always prepared to take any unwanted Reward cards you would care to burn, and give you back 101% of the DEC you would get if you burned them yourself. This is usually the busiest moment for Ottermaker, and the bot currently has 340,000 DEC to hand out, plus I'm pretty close to max on several Reward cards and will be looking to burn those as I get enough cards in.
Simply gift cards to @ottermaker from within the game or Peakmonsters, and automatically get DEC in your Steem-Engine wallet for every bcx as per the table below:
| Rarity | Beta/Reward | Alpha/Promo |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 15.15 | 30.3 |
| Rare | 60.6 | 121.2 |
| Epic | 303 | 606 |
| Legendary | 1515 | 3030 |
| Gold Common | 757.5 | 1515 |
| Gold Rare | 3030 | 6060 |
| Gold Epic | 15150 | 30300 |
| Gold Legendary | 75750 | 151500 |
Note that Gold cards are currently only accepted from the Reward and Promo editions.
Buy BETA for 1600 DEC apiece
This week several people have developed a habit of sending in cards for DEC and sending the DEC right back for BETA packs, which is great! but the bot still has over 1000 BETA in its balance and I'd love to convert them into DEC. You can buy them by sending any amount DEC to @ottermaker and it will send you one BETA token for every 1600 DEC, plus change if necessary.
BETA tokens will be sent to your Steem-Engine wallet; to turn them into packs in the game simply send them to @steemmonsters.
Technical details
Most people can ignore this part, but I thought I would post why I made the technical change listed above. Much like the people in charge of Steem, I made the mistake of not thinking enough about custom JSON collision when I first made the bot. The original version did well enough taking in cards, but if I wanted to do anything with the cards once they were in the account, I ran the risk of submitting a custom JSON at the same time as the bot was doing so. Steem doesn't allow that and it breaks things, so now most of the bot's custom JSON transactions are being done from @ottermakerengine, leaving @ottermaker free to make use of its cards. This will let me work on automating what happens to the cards after they come in, which is the next step for me, even though it won't mean much change for users.

Hi there! Could you please check my transaction, earlier today. I sent a card, but I still haven't received the DECs for it. The card wasn't returned, either. Here's the raw transaction: https://steemd.com/tx/ff70b49bf3c85842091a5fce9ff06ab2c8eaea07.
Thanks.
Thanks for pointing this out, I've processed it manually. The bot crashed while I was sleeping, and I'm still not sure why.
Thanks! Hope you can fix it soon. I can imagine there will be lots of activity with the bot in as players redeem their season rewards. Thanks again.
