I could fix it by using the 32 bit libencrypt. That just worked on Debian x86_64.

I used the following command: python2.7 pokecli.py

EDIT: wasn't a problem with the Lib or anything, my problem was i could only run it as root. Make sure your user has permissions to write/read the Lib or chown

[yweitkemper]

I'm having the same problem, what exactly did you do to fix it?

[MiniWire]

I had to run it with "sudo python2.7 pokecli.py"

[mehdi-S]

unfortunatly doesnt work for me @MiniWire

[MiniWire]

did you run "pip install -r requirements.txt" ?
and do you have an encrypt-lib for your platform in your bot-root-directory?

try don't use [CatchPokemon] this task, change it to [CatchVisiblePokemon] and [CatchLuredPokemon]

[k4n30]

@mehdi-S - The log message indicates you have been banned

@chihkang [CatchPokemon] replaced [CatchVisiblePokemon] and [CatchLuredPokemon] recently so that is not an option. Please don't give the wrong advice

[mehdi-S]

@k4n30 if you read my issue, i cannot be banned since my account is fresh created from the second before trying to bot

[k4n30]

IP banned, do you share your ip with anyone else or have botted before or run pokemongo-map? There's lots of ways to be banned

[Netfreak25]

i am using a proxy and the servers original IP is banned. from time to time the bot crashes with the same error. Maybe not every connection is using the proxy?
