It's important that you don't delay this part. Once you've got all of the paydata that you plan on selling (or even cut it into a couple trips, if you want), call a cab and don't stop for drinks on the way. Data keeps on moving and the value of your paydata drops the longer you hold onto it. | It's important that you don't delay this part.

Your knowledge of data brokerage and how much Krackerjack likes you is going to determine how much you're getting paid, but either way it's pretty easy to saturate the market with tons and tons of data. The more data that's been sold lately, the less it's worth, but it's only a little while before the prices rise again so take a break, so socialize, and get back at it later on. | Your knowledge of data brokerage and how much Krackerjack likes you is going to determine how much you're getting paid, but either way it's pretty easy to saturate the market with tons and tons of data.

That's the short of it, at least. When you aren't in the library, you're probably going to need to locate your host. To do that, think about where you're going, look around where you're at in the Matrix for some clues of keywords you can search for. Then LOCATE HOST and whatever KEYWORD you think might lead you to where you want to go. For instance, if I'm trying to get into the Junkyard, I would LOCATE the HOST for the JUNKYARD.

- | It's also good to know how to ANALYZE HOSTS. Do this right and you'll get a five number code of info. This is known as the host's ACIFS. In order, the numbers represent Access, Control, Index, Files and Slave. The code you get for each of these values gives a savvy Decker a good idea of how tough that host is going to be to act in. | + | It's also good to know how to ANALYZE HOSTS.
