Title: 1.2 BTC Tournament | Play for free! | 6 Winners | MooCoin RC1
Post by: moocoin on January 14, 2014, 12:45:33 AM

Welcome to the MooCoin RC1 Tournament!
MooCoin is a new kind of Bitcoin game platform.  We give you Bitcoin for free, you play against others head-to-head, and the winner takes all! 

Some features:
  - Faucet that gives you Bitcoins to play for free
  - Two games to play, and more on the way
  - Referral network that pays you 10% of all fees from the people you refer
  - Open platform for developers.  Create new MooCoin games and collect a share of the revenue when people play
  - Leaderboards and tournaments
  - Mobile device support so you can play on the go


From now until January 23, we will be holding the MooCoin RC1 Tournament.


Here are the rules:
  - MooCoin is running on the TestNet.  The faucet gives out TestNet coins, and you're welcome to deposit TestNet coins to your account to play bigger games.
  - At 11:59pm GMT on January 23, 2014 we will split 1.2 BTC [MainNet] into six pieces and give 0.2 BTC to each of the six leaders shown on the leaderboards. 
  - The six leaderboards are:  Most BTC won, most earned from referrals, best win ratio, best winning streak, worst losing streak, and most games played.
  - After the tournament, we will donate all TestNet coins back to various faucets.  MooCoin will then be switched over to the MainNet and the site will be officially open!
   
How do I play?
Just go to https://www.moocoin.com (https://www.moocoin.com) to get started!

We would also love to get feedback from you.  You can click the feedback button at the bottom right side of the page, or you can email us at admin@moocoin.com

Have fun!

You can go tell that 600 showoff to put his money where his mouth is by transferring some TestNet coins to your account.

What font are you using for the Bitcoin symbol before the account balance? My computer doesn't recognize it and i'm getting a square.

Testnet is just the exact same thing as bitcoin, but it doesn't hold value except in that you use it to test things without worrying about accidental financial loss due to bad coding or things like that.

Constructive criticism for your site:
I'm getting a lot of draw games on Rock Paper Scissors. I'm not sure how you do it, but when i've done best 2 out of 3 rock paper scissors, if you tie, you just skip that until someone wins. So basically if there's a tie, just ignore that instead of counting that as one of the 3 outcomes.

Weird.  It should work in any font.  It's simply the B unicode character, and then a second unicode character that accents the first with the two vertical lines.
Can you let me know which browser you're using, and I can have someone take a look?

Thanks!

Hi!

Quick update on the leaderboards and the 1.2 BTC prize:
- PUB05fad62f6a17 is on track to win 0.6 BTC for leading the "High Roller", "King Midas", and "Someone has to Win" categories.
- PUB44b7ad187c46 is leading the "Grind it out" category and will win 0.2 BTC unless someone stops him.
- PUB33ea5ec6f8e6 "Cant' catch a break" and will win 0.2 BTC unless someone else proves as unlucky.

The big opportuninty, though, is the "Get rich while you sleep" category.  Currently getting just one referral would put you at the top of that leaderboard for 0.2 BTC.

Thanks!

Sure!  One of the reasons for this tournament is so we can see different kinds of behavior on the site and separate what's "normal" and what's "suspect". 
For the tournament, do whatever you want to win the BTC.  If you think you can hack the site and change the scores, please do so!  We want to find out all issues now, before the official launch.

Thanks,
MooCoin

We're going to take the server down for about 5 minutes to do an upgrade that can't be done with our normal zero-downtime procedure.  Please stand by!

We just introduced a new feature.  We now have a friendly bot on the site that will play games with you.  We decided to do this to make sure that you always had someone to play, even when traffic is low.  We want to make sure you know you're playing a bot, so we've tagged him:
https://www.moocoin.com/img/botIntro.png

He will always keep one hi-lo game open at .000001 btc.  If you don't see him, it's because he's already in a game.  Just give him a second and he'll create another one as soon as he's finished.  Also, he's not very good.  In fact, he's horrible.  It's just a proof of concept right now.  What do you guys think?  Should we have bots on the site to play when there aren't enough people?  If you like the idea, we'll make it provably fair, etc.

Thanks,
MooCoin

Hey everyone,
Please don't bot the bot.  In other words, don't join the bots game with your scripts.  I'd like it to hang out there for people when they show up to play, rather than having them leave the site because there aren't any games.  Having games for people to play when they come to the site is critical for our success. 

Thanks,
MooCoin

550 coins to TP's TestNet Faucet (http://tpfaucet.appspot.com/)
550 coins to MojoCoin (http://faucet.xeno-genesis.com/)

Here are the transactions in case anyone cares  :)
