Winners chosen! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1152981.msg12293634#msg12293634

Bustabit (http://bustabit.com) has a unique feature that displays a graph of your recent profits. To engine some fun, Bustabit is hosting a contest to see who can make the coolest illustration in their profit chart! Use your wins, losses, and differences in amounts and cashout points to create cool drawings and pictures!

Example: Our fellow admin Ryan (https://www.bustabit.com/user/ryan) made his chart look like Batman! >>>> https://www.bustabit.com/user/ryan

Prizes:

1st: 0.1 BTC
2nd: 0.05 BTC
3rd: 0.04 BTC
4th: 0.03 BTC
5th-8th: 0.02 BTC

Rules:

• You may open multiple accounts and enter as many times as you'd like.
• Post your Bustabit username in this thread after illustrating to enter.
• The contest ends on August 31st.
• Winners will be announced in the 1st of September.
• Only real Bustabit charts are accepted

Come play Bustabit and design your own cool chart! (https://www.bustabit.com/play)

While the account "bustabit" isn't an official account of bustabit, I have agreed to sponsor the competition and will pay the 0.3 BTC in prizes =)


Good luck to all!

This is very interesting, I'll try it later
still a few people who play turns  ;D

That is interesting competition to make cool graph chart there so enter into this contest we have to post our username first into this thread or we can post it at anytime?
i will try to make spiderman  ;)

I guess just make a chart, take a screenshot which shows your name and post it here =)

Hmm nice promotion.. we are making art here, okay lest do it :)

Btw bustabit have new design, i love the old one.. but not problem i still like it :)

The lower axis units are negative ???

nah now its too laggy game for me and i had to stop playing it (it would bust me becuse it goes 0.1x as i see it)
and when i want to cashout (i have high autocashouts) it would always go to big when i click its like if i click now it will cashout 0.1x-0.2x bigger (and then mostly it crashes)..
too bad:(

Yeah, there's a bug and bounty for that. Some guy is working on it, trying to claim it :D

if (lowerAxixNegative=true) {
 lowerAxis*=-1;
}

Now it'll always be positive!

mine looks like a major super ultra catastrophic land slide..  ;D

Win or lose it's still a landslide xD. I think the best way to get at this competition is to plan something unique beforehand, and calculate the amounts the same way Ryan did to make Batman. You don't need a large balance to do so, 100 bits is more than enough :P.

Good luck to you and all other contestants! I'm excited to see what you guys can come up with

Help Godzilla's coming for what I have left from that train!!!

Also, for those who wonder how: https://i.imgur.com/uvwWF69.png (I had to edit the code of every single points on my chart :D)

Is it a good entry ? :D

Awesome try! I love the idea, very edgy and original. Except.... we aren't accepting edited charts :(. You can try to bet and re-create that chart, and I'll definitely accept it!

Awww :(

Well, does a Number '7' *lucky number* (on side) would be good ?

https://i.imgur.com/RjsRGLG.png

Almost lost everything on that one tho. (see the line 0 ?)

Quick Edit:
I mean, according to:

There's no restrictions about edited charts :(

Either way, it's fine, it's still a funny godzilla :)

hahaha ,, that was good one .. cool
ill make my own

how much need deposit
to join this contest?

Noticed that we can create a chart with just 2 bits (faucet). :D

Rules edited after my first entry... (godzilla)
"Only real Bustabit charts are accepted" Part was added
Means my entry should be valid isn't it?
I don't want to be mean but that's not fair :(

Hide in your caves people a big tsunami is coming lol.

I inferred from the contest itself that it was only legitimate bets. "Use your wins, losses, and differences in amounts and cashout points to create cool drawings and pictures!" Otherwise it would have said "create a dot-based image and throw it over to us!" Its wording was pretty clear.

You said it: "Use your wins, losses, [...] and cashout points to create cool drawings and pictures!"
And that's actually what I did. I used the points editing their position manually instead of getting their position from my actual bets.
In both ways you have a control the position of your points.
From my point of view, I did respected the rules given at the moment when submitting my entry.

I think it is just an addition words to make it more clear, and of course yours is not valid.  It is fair because it is clear before they add those words. So I think you just misunderstood the rules.

So you won all of those transactions? If not, you didn't follow the rules. Hint: you didn't win all of them, because they weren't valid.

I didn't created those points. I've edited their position. In fact, all those points are real bets point that shows the profit and all info when mouse is over one of them.
And, there's gray points. So no I didn't won "all" of them. But all of those points are real ones but not at their original position when the page loaded.

Still right according to the given rules when I posted my first entry.

You're missing the point. The idea behind this is to get people to wager in specific ways to create pictures -- not just edit something. I could take a blank canvas in Photoshop and just edit it there, if that's how it worked. I think you're the only one that was confused by the rules. To the rest of us, it was common sense. As a heads-up for the future, if you're unsure about something, just ask. Any of us could have clarified that for you, and we're not even running the contest, :).

It's a betting contest. Not a graphics design one.

Maybe he meant what you're saying, who knows, we can't read in minds, can we? ... Still, I've made my first entry according the everything that was said in the contest post. And I'm not wrong on any points if we compare to what that has been said before I post it.
You are defending a point that wasn't clear or not well planned in the end...

Either way, I've got my second entry already posted and this one is respecting the new rule that has been added.
I hope no new rules will be added later.

Let be honest here. My entry is valid. But it pissed everyone off because that'd be too easy. (for coders that will have major privilege on others that don't know html/css) Am I wrong?

I guess there's no need to argue any further, people deny my first entry to a rule that has been set after the entry. I'll just accept it I guess.


P.S.: May I add: "a contest to see who can make the coolest illustration" That's what he said right? Tell me if I'm wrong but that means graphics design isn't it?

Anyway I see you guys talking about dexon, how did you like my chart? I guess its not that creative but still..

You should try an incrementation on wins :D would looks more like water i think :)
Worth the try ;)

Mayne thats a damn good idea, I'll try that one

Don't forget that you can take a screenshot of your image, and feel free to flip or rotate the image to one side!

Good entry! If you tilt your head to the left, you could look at it like a gigantic waterfall.... Niagara Falls!

In its current form, I believe it's a square root sign.

Ah man, I hate the bonus system now. I was going to create a heart but the boni fuck it up :(

This is awesome! I was going to do a number sideways (like 1337) but had to give up on it. With bonuses and uncertainty, and especially with things like sometimes running into multiple quick explosions, it just wasn't feasible to chase after.

Yea the bonus system should have an option to be disabled for this competition i guess. Otherwise its too hard to make something really nice :)

Maybe not be disabled, but like allow a flag for the chart that either shows profit with bonuses or without. I think that would be better anyways, in regards to seeing progress over time.

That's a good point. I think the bonus medians out to 1%, which won't make a big difference. We aren't looking for perfection, we're looking for originality and uniqueness :P.

Busted at 3,292x :)

Tried to make that heart but failed. https://www.bustabit.com/user/heart :(

Edit: A mountain slope. ;D

Yea but if my chart needs a 10 bit profit, the easiest way for me to do that is bet 1000 on a 1.01 multiplier. But I actually had a 6% bonus on that bet, so instead of 10 i won 70. And the heart does not at all look like a heart.

Yes, it is true. I couldn't complete the heart due to not winning a bet as I'd like and because I won more than I wanted to from bonus.

The first half of the heart looked right, the second part went up because of the bonus.

Never knew the bonus system would get annoying haha

what about this straight vertical line here ..https://www.bustabit.com/user/katerniko

Thanks man, I'm just making bustabit account

username : tinatina

Congratz to the winners. :D :)




Can you credit it to ndnhc1 instead? I haven't used the original account for a while, and doesn't seem to get my password right.

Thanks :)

Sorry about that, wasn't checking on the thread. (Just send me a PM next time)

I credited the two accounts 50k each for the delayed payment

Umm why did the other guy get it though? It wasn't my accountIf you read my post carefully, I clearly stated that its not my account, and if I could get the prize for myself.

Sorry, I just paid the people who "bustabit" picked, but reading the OP:

"Bustabit is hosting a contest to see who can make the coolest illustration in their profit chart! Use your wins, losses, and differences in amounts and cashout points to create cool drawings and pictures!"

and the intention of the competition was to get people to actually play the game, and play around with controlling their loses and wins, so it seems fair it went to BertBot  (although btw it was a great find)

Bertbot has been offline for 8 months  :o

I don't think anything needs to be said here, not b*tching or anything but seems pretty unfair that someone else got it that way, and not me.

Fair enough, PM me your bustabit username and i'll credit you as well =)
