Bitcoin Forum

First of, it's good that your site can be tried out without registration. Some creators of new gambling sites make it hard for testers to help them in further development by asking for registration, and sometimes even for deposits. You haven't made that mistake, and that's good.

Now to your site.

1. There only 4 options regarding the amount of mines, 1, 3, 5, 24, but it would much better if players could choose between 1 and 24, any number of mines. There are some great payouts possible in the range 8-17 mines, up to 5 million X, and gamblers love that.

2. Autobet is an essential feature of many online games currently, and mines is not an exception. Players should be able to choose a pattern and play with it however many times they want.

3. Any modern gambling site should have a chat box. Even though most players rarely participate in it, they should have this option. A site looks more friendly if there's a live chat going on constantly.

We appreciate your time providing us your sincere feedback. I have passed on the feedback to our team so that it can be though upon and implemented if deemed fit.

Merry Christmas to you.

Oh! A satoshimine like game we do have here.It might be a little plain in design and i would much prefer if those tiles doesnt have a space in between (my own preference).
Animation is good but i do feel that little delay on pressing off things but it doesnt matter though yet everything works well and lastly, take that suggestion above on having
at least a chatbox for your players to have some chance on communicating on other players.

i just try your game there but one thing i know that your UI almost the same with satoshimines with all the option is same

Thank you every one for your suggestions and sincere feedback. Do note that we are taking your feedback and suggestions sincerely and will be surely working upon them.

and Yes, It is like satoshimines but we are just running closed beta for now, will be adding tons of features very soon. We are currently organizing all the feedback and sorting all of the data in order to serve all well in fair manner.

For any further queries and direct contact with our team, you can drop mail at : admin@livemines.com

I think it is a good mining site project because all we see that they are only focused on the most progressive and fast moving coin which is bitcoin. And the good thing about this site is the assurance of being fair because mine position are choosen before the game and can verify after the game ends so you are free from any manipulation.

Yeah, it's like SatoshiMines and even the login uses a unique game URL. But I forgot a little about how the unique URL works whether it only applies once? and can we make a password?

Password feature among other features will be implemented very soon and is currently in our to-do list.

Yet again, Thank you all for your reviews and suggestions. It's valuable and important to us.

As this is still beta i'm sure you still can improve more from your site and unique URL still not enough to secure accounts users so added features password is necessary and if supose can added email features too so if people forgot their password then they can using reset password features using an email

Its nice to see another new gambling site come online that is not another dice site. I am currently testing it out on mobile and it seems pretty good for a beta release. It was smart how you made it possible to play with a balance of 0 to start a practice game. This way you can avoid having to add a faucet which might lead to abuse.

Only issue I can find is that if you are using an older phone like an iPhone 5S with a smaller screen the bottom of the tiles is cut-off with the "NEXT" and "STAKE" panel which is shown right below. This is more of an annoyance but you can actually still make out the numbers since you see the top 50% of the tiles. So maybe get some iPhone 5S emulator and see how it looks on older devices and try and move it down a few spaces and it should look perfect.

Good luck to your project and have a merry christmas.

Focusing on bitcoin only is good but we cant deny the fact that many other coins are being used on gambling industry such as eth, ltc, doge, and some other coins and many gamblers prefer to use other coins than bitcoin because of some reasons. So it is always better to accept more than just bitcoin as the payment method.

We have forwarded this issue to our UI team and it will be sorted out on highest priority. Expect it to be fixed under 2 hours.

Thank you for trying our site and giving your valuable feedback and suggestions. 

They might consider on adding it up if they would really saw a demand of having an another payment or deposit option.
Having alts is much preferable rather than focusing only with Bitcoin but for now they should listen up on what most
people been suggesting on here.Good to see a minesweeper game nowadays because people cant play on satoshimine anymore
or they do already close their registration.

Since this is a new site plus on a beta test phase so we can expect some bugs and errors we will try to find if theres an issue by the way you make a good decision for having playing without register on your site so we can easily find a bugs upon playing on your site I noticed that the screen not fit on my browser (ucweb).

Interesting user interface you have here, I personally quite like and so far the nav is simple. My only concern at the moment is your incentive for the beta testers, which I think that in fact there isn't much at all. I'm not sure what responses you had so far but if these were low perhaps increasing the incentive and making it more clear may help  ???

Beta testing will be closed today. Thanks for all the users for their valuable input. We really appreciate your time.

We have fixed many things server site and on UI side.

Change log :

 * Added Password protection for your account. *
** Now you can change your display Alias and set it to your favorite one **
*** Code cleanup and security with speed enhancement ***

We will be launching live stable release on 1st January 2020. Some time to go. Till then, we are happy to respond to your queries at admin at livemines.com

Good luck !

Is there a chance for me to try? If yes I have sent you my unique game ID.

It's nice to see these features there but I have a problem when I want to add a password. There is no change at all when I click on "set password", Is there any special conditions for creating a password such as min characters, numbers and symbols?
Only the alias name has changed successfully.

Can you please try reloading the page and see if problem persists ? We'd be happy to look into it.

We have already given closed beta invites and currently there's no opening. We will be launching stable release on 1st. You can deposit any amount of Bits and play.

Though it's late for the beta testing but seeing that you are doing improvements with your site create impressions from the readers.
Chatbox is very nice additions it will engaged people who already using your site and make friends with newbies, it's also a best place
for support team to interact with your participants knowing that you are there to help them.

We thank you for your valuable feedback and suggestions. It's important to us that we provide best services and support to our users. For now, I can just assure you personally that there will be a ChatBox feature in our future release updates. For now, we are working upon many things right now. We are also going to release 1 more game in next few months as we are currently working over it as well.

Rest assured for all, our support is fairly quick to answer all your questions. There is a limitation for my account as I am a newbie so I cannot reply to everyone who messages but you can always email at admin @ livemines.com

Wishing all a very good luck !

We have launched now. Thread edit will be soon.

Finally you had fully launching the game and will giving short review here that i was visiting again today but the difference is currently i can edit my account and set my password but i got something trouble here because when playing with practice money and curious to click cashout button seems the game was lagged and i was trying to refresh the page but nothing change because i can't stopped the game

Everything is fixed and up.

Good luck to everyone.

Happy New Year and welcome to Bitcointalk! I agree with others that it's refreshing to see a new website offering a non-traditional game. I like your design, and allowing to play for free on a demo-version also sounds like a wise decision. And if I get it right there's no KYC or anything, right? I think it would be better if you wrote Terms of Service as a separate webpage, though. This would allow people to understand what they agree to when they deposit money there because for now a lot of things don't seem clarified. Oh, and a chatroom would not hurt as well. Good luck!

Aside from that, instead of having some points to remember, just create a new tab for FAQ.
So the OP can add more generic questions on that section.
Also, if he can add all the online stats of the site like the current number of players.

Our Terms of services are updated and in effect from now.

Thank you all for your responses and feedback, We really appreciate it.

Nice! no need to signup thru email. Minesweeper is actually an old game. A change from all the dice sites here.  ;)

1,000,000 bits = 1 BTC?


Tried up the practice game and everything went smooth.A bit lucky on hitting up 1 tile out of 24 bombs for 10 times.I'll try my luck ones again with real funds and lets see if this luck would continue.

Indeed lucky on not finding a mine on 24x Mine board game. Playing on this board requires some strategy and planning. Rest is solely upon your luck.

We had quite a few winners today. Congratulations to them all.

Good luck to everyone.

How a minesweeper game do have that strategy and planning if all results are random? Please do enlighten me.  :)

All results are random and decided before hand.

There are only strategies as to how you choose to play the game, Like :

Some users tend to click only on 1 tile and Cashout on 1x, 3x, 5x mine game.

Some users tend to click on same tile with minimal bet amount on 24x mine repetitively and try their luck if they can find bigger reward more than they can loose.

Some users may devise their own...

We are neither encouraging nor advising as to how one should play.
It depends on the users and how they'd like to think. This thread is not a discussion on game rounds and strategies.

Good Luck !

We are really sorry for that happened.

Can you please personnel message me or write to admin@livemines.com so that we can investigate this issue at utmost priority. Do include your account name.

Update : We have closed the website for unscheduled maintenance as the user who posted above was able to abuse one of the bugs in the site and practiced unfair means.

We will resume our operations shortly after investigating.

Change log :

Major Update includes bug fixing with security patch.

Features Added :

Users can now see their games history and share the history with other players with an option to hide history from the public.

Our systems are up and running. We were susceptible by Race Condition vulnerability, We have mitigated the attack in our current update. It came to our attention when a user took advantage of this bug and was going to withdraw his false earnings. Fortunately, We were able to detect it and have closed the user as per our terms.

You can read our Terms here at : www.LiveMines.com/terms.php

We always believe in fair play and strictly condemn cheating and unfair practices.

Please report us at admin@livemines.com if you have found a bug and we will suitably reward you for your responsible submission. If you are found taking advantage of the bug, we have the right to close your account pending all deposits/withdrawals/balances per our terms.

I think to be fair on both sides, just send him his original deposit and move on.
That's all he is asking from his scam accusations board.
Though he might violated some of your terms but it was not all his fault if there was some bug in your system.
You have your shortcomings coming from your end also.
The small deposit that he's asking should not give negative notion on how you handle your cases here.

It would be better if Site owner would just simply give his initial deposit and moved on to this issue just like whats being said on previous page.He do risk up his sites reputation yet this was on site bug after all.Instead on locking the deposit+winning it would be more good if he do rather add up some bounty bug on it.The main issue between parties is "PRIDE",Why not just settle things up?
@OP, sad to say that this one will give out bad impressions if this would continue.

We are and were ready to settle but with conditions mentioned. As to the bug on site, There was a race condition in our site as we already had explained in the thread.

You can read the details regarding race condition here : https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/362.html

We would have paid up a bounty to the user if he had told us exactly how he was able to do so in my E-mail. Yet he chose to ignore that.

It is clear in our website as to we can terminate the account along with balance if the user is caught up in unfair practices. We have already publicized his games here : https://livemines.com/history.php?user=ringo362

We are new in business but we are strict against unfair practices and condemn cheating.

The user has already done enough damage to our reputation, In our last post we clearly mentioned our conditions as to release his funds. We will not amend the conditions anymore.
The user has 24 hours to contact us with aforesaid conditions completed.
After that,
We are willing to release the deposit to site-administrators or moderator and let them be the judge of his actions on our behalf. It is really saddening for us as to have encountered this issue with the user.

We will not respond to any more queries regarding this incident.

Players can either be honest or would just simply abuse if they found out bugs towards the site which make them some money.I cant blame towards your action even I in the same foot would do the same
but you do actually have some fault in terms of communicating towards that certain user.Yes, it is somehow rude when reading up those response which turns out that you do blame up the user on sites bug.
Good thing that you had explained and give him a chance to settle it.@BTCneedhelp1 why not just move on and accept on what they do offer? to call it quits.

Can you explain how could you bet more than what you have on your balance? Dont say that you did not notice it. It is better if you tell the truth and apologize for what you did as you should have reported it once you noticed it instead of keep doing it.

I don't know the whole story behind the scam accusation and how did the bug happen
but it says in TOS they can close an account if a player quote: "abuse bug(s) or indulge in unfair betting practices"

well I would have settled it differently , but admin has the right to decide what is good for his business and site
p.s. and yes , the user should have reported the bug and gotten the bug bounty instead

p.p.s seems like the situation has been resolved , editing the post to reflect it

I'm confused after see his bet history and based he said that he just deposit 0.02 BTC but why in the few bets without getting any profit he can bet more than that

That was the one that makes the site accuse the user abusing the bug.
So in short, there was a bug where user was able to bet more than what he had in the balance.
I'm not really sure if the user was indeed trying to abuse the bug for his own profit, but it seems so as he did make the bet more than once.
If he is good user, he would have stopped after he realized that he could bet more than his balance then reported it to the admin.
By this way, I think above user will get something like a bug bounty.

Hopefully this report of the user will be proven legit and had no foul play accusations. In this case, I think this was due to probability that the site's issue was with their web problem and nothing to blame with the user. That's if ever there's a chance for a bug bounty, its very advantage for him. The reputation of the site will increase, yet other player will be more attracted to play on their site because of their prompt support on respective users.

We are willing to release your deposit ONLY if you Email us at admin@livemines.com with the terms we specified earlier in the thread.

We suggest you to read our terms again at : www.Livemines.com/terms.php as to why your account is banned from our site. We have posted evidence in your scam accusation thread.

We will not tolerate cheaters like you and take strict action against users like you.

Site is operational and we will be releasing promotional offers very soon.

-- Team Live Mines.

When you have a website topic mainly with the accusation of being a scam, that hurts their reputation insanely, I know it is just 3-4 pages right now and that can be forgiven in the future if there are no more troubles in the future but for now they already have a huge damage on their name because of this issue.

If I were them I wouldn't back down anymore, if they had an issue and paid to shut the person up so they can continue that would have worked but this has gone too far and I doubt they could ever recover from this so might as well keep his money with it as an expense to how much damage the person did to their website. From now on all they can do is to increase marketing and banning all messages regarding this issue and just focus on getting bigger.

We have provided all the necessary evidence in relation to the user's scam accusation on us. The race attack vulnerability cannot be exploited by playing game in 2 tabs or more than 20+ if done manually.

Anybody who is experienced in WebSec industry can acknowledge our above statement. Even we had hard time replicating the bug and had to bring in a reliable penetration tester to replicate. We invested our time as well as resources in order to track it.

We didn't have any bugs as the user claims, Our Team regularly monitors the system error logs/warnings/notices on the server end.

We have processed Withdrawals / Deposits with no issues before and after the user accused us of scamming him.

We provided more than 3 chances to the user to claim his deposit by admitting to his actions in full with steps as how he replicated on his part and an apology.

IF the user doesn't abide with our aforesaid terms to claim his deposits, The Administrators or Moderators can intervene.

We, as LiveMines have faced a mark on our reputation due to the actions of the underlying user. All we can do now is to server our users as best as we can.

We will be doing our best to restore faith and positivism in us. Good luck to everyone reading this post.

Just came to give my 2 cents

I've just used this site as I saw it somewhere else and was very interested.

I've played a few practice games and no problems what so ever. Also the OP is very kind and whatever the above person is complaining about must be their fault (bit judgmental I know)
OP has put a lot of effort into this don't think he/she would find it beneficial to steal just some money and would've been called out by numerous more users.

I will definitely start playing here more when  I have extra money, my only point to make unless I am blind, is that I'd love a button to disable the on-site sounds.

Thank you

Review: Played a few practice games and had a good experience.

Tryed the game out , it's pretty good . Didn't find any problems/bugs . Would be really cool to see an automated betting feature included , like I would choose the 24 mines option , and have an auto mode to bet each time on the tile I select , for 10-20-30 runs etc.

Have tried this game, a few days ago.
There are no problems during the game, the interface is good, certainly good as an alternative game with crypto deposits.
Overall, all working good.

I do not know if there are any of these features in the game mines and I'm curious how it works. Can you give me one of the game mines that has an auto bet feature?

I'm not even a multi, I would provide some sort of proof if I could. I am a user of their site and found it advertised elsewhere. I came to do a good deed and show some good reputation. You're just some skid that tried to mess with the system and got smacked red handed.

We have sent you an Email to cooperate with us. We cannot help you unfortunately if you will not abide by our terms. We apologize for the inconvenience but sadly, it's the very best we could do.

As requested, here is the bitcoin address where the 0.02 BTC (my initial deposit) should be sent.

Bitcoin Address: 19gxBVcEzSX1S2H3pmGpwtYsqgsWTen1Zw

Once this Bitcoin address has 0.02 BTC i commit to delete all my posts as this situation as been solved.

We are ready to release your deposit once all posts have been deleted for at-least 24 hours. Please try to cooperate with us.

Hello,

Your funds were never stolen from you. The fact we noticed the bug and erroneous play got us to terminate your account. We apologize for the inconvenience caused, but we can only release your deposit after 24 hours from the time you remove all your posts against us. Please try to cooperate with us. Sadly, we aren't at liberty to amend our terms more. We hope you will consider it.

Regards

Just pay him up at least the crowd or the public would know that you have given those money back even he post countless accusations it would be
still useless since the community do know that you already settled that one so you should better do that way.Dont worry about those post because if hes on the right mind he might remove those things willingly.

We have processed to release your deposit : https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/0aab54611eedb9e8b307e3356412c53f480b8c703303bd66772b0102743f6d61

Please delete all of your posts regarding us as committed.

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/19gxBVcEzSX1S2H3pmGpwtYsqgsWTen1Zw

Received the money back.

As promised, all my posts have been deleted.

I request to all people who replied to my posts, delete my text or delete the posts.

This situation has been resolved!

We thank you for your cooperation.

Just dropping by to give my 2 cents.

Being a "Provably Fair" game means the player itself could "Prove" that the game session was not tampered in any way.
Let's digest how a game session works according to your help page (https://livemines.com/help.php)

1. Before a game session starts I would assume random_int function it is referring to is https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.random-int.php

2. You generate a truely unique string and concatenate the result of no.1. example: 20-pHZ984WcwT1578416354 where 20 is the result of no.1 plus a "-" and "pHZ984WcwT1578416354" as your unique string.

3. Hash the concatenated string 20-pHZ984WcwT1578416354 via SHA256 which is "7b7373e545db76a277c85d4efc80675b8c32588a1484581ab8b07e0fc372b769" and shows this to the user to "prove" that the game session was not tampered.

4. At the end of the game, you reveal 20-pHZ984WcwT1578416354 so that users can hash it themselves and prove that the hash are the same as no.3.

5. Then starts all over again for every game session.

The implementation may look like solid, but it is not.

No. 1. The user cannot prove that random_int was indeed used in this step. The user just believes that it is, and this is where the flaw comes in.
You as the house, could pick any number that you would please and the user would never know. If a user has a tendency of always picking the 1st tile, the house could then choose the number 1 for the succeeding game sessions and the user would never know it.

Scenario:
A Whale is playing 3 mines. The house could easily be programmed to watch and analyze the player's "usual" picks, and the house could easily put the mines on those on the succeeding game sessions. This gives an advantage to the house, while the player would never know if he/she was cheated or not. (I'm not saying the op will)

Suggestion:
The mine locations should be generated using a server secret plus a client secret this way the house could not cheat or pick the tiles at their advantage.

We appreciate your time taken towards providing us with feedback. We value your feedback. We take it seriously. It will be passed down to our team and will be considered.

-- Team Live Mines

We will be adding an option to pick up random tile on your behalf and auto bets very soon. We love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

This site is 100% a SCAM! AVOID! Also support doesnt answer! DO NOT DEPOSIT!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

You are a troll , GTFO of here.

OP keep in mind that the user above is usually creating multiple accounts with a VPN , so that he can abuse promotions , giveaways etc.

I can confirm that this site is a scam. On other forums the admin is already banned because he is a scammer. They do not pay withdrawals if you win too much. Avoid this site. You will not get paid if you deposit and win. AVOID!

as they resolved one case already, why is this one shouting for a scam? any basis of this accusation. if the team is willing to address issues here, then benefit of the doubt, show us his case why the allegation?
otherwise, he's a troll and should be ignored.


you need to give more details about your experience and post snapshots of your case.

All our withdrawals and deposits are automatically processed and there isn't a single objection against us from any users on our site. We haven't received any complaint from the user above. We can clearly sense this post is only about defaming us. I request the user to share his username on our site and his evidence based upon his objection against us.
We doubt there is even some minute legitimacy of the user's post against us. We challenge him to show any proof of us being unfair.



 

Saying only without any proofs wont make people trust what you say. You need more than just a post to accuse any sites as scam.
So provide valid proofs if you want to accuse and confirm if this site is scamming you. Anyway, your name looks familiar to me and if I remember it correctly that you were supporting someone who try to ask for bug bounty on other site while the bug does not even exist.

This game is very similar to satoshimines

I got addicted before on satoshimines since it is really easy to play and I enjoyed playing it, maybe I will try this game and hopefully I won't end up being addicted again.
Do you have any valid proofs? I was about to try this game, and it is hard to trust someone like you (a newbie account) who can't even provide valid proof.

There were lots of registrations but i dont see any activity into the site.This is really just a copy cat of satoshi mines but since they do already stopped registration then having another alternative isnt a bad move.

About UI, i dont know but it feels like a little bit laggy when showing up the tiles unlike Satoshimines due to that loading animation before it reveals- Well its just my own preference though but it isnt really a big issue at all and next, you should consider on putting up some funds for marketing stuff.

Thank you for your feedback, We will be updating our UI in near future. Also, the active players statistics may differ from time to time.

There is no one banned on our site and there are no pending withdrawals.

Update : Improvised odds and stability.

More cool things coming down the line.

Come and play now only at LiveMines.com

So, I just started playing LiveMines,

What I love about this game is I don't experienced any difficulties while playing, no lags, the game itself is user-friendly/easy to understand, their instructions are very clear to help every individual to understand the website.

Good luck to all the players !

Great website and I like the game and also about the accout we just need to save the url to open up the same account right?
I just hope that you wouldn't set up a minimum withdrawal so that if a gambler doesn't have 1000 bits left and already wants to cash it out they wouldn't need to gamble or deposit anymore.

Yes you just require to save the URL and you can access your account from any device anywhere.

As for minimum withdrawal limit, we will surely consider your feedback.

I also suggest to have a lower minimum withdrawal and also hope that your livechat would soon be available,
I also suggest to have some features like sending bits or tips to other players and some profile statistic to show other players our bets history and profit.

LiveChat is now available for all.

Bet history is available currently, We are working upon showing stats and graphs on how much the player has betted, Net profit, Gross profit.

Okay thank's for the clarification,
And as for the minimum withdrawal limit,
I hope you could lessen it because there are gamblers who just wants to have fun,
Just like me I like to spend little money for gambling so it would be troublesome if we couldn't reach that 1000 bit's and we already want to stop.

We will consider it and perhaps can bring in something flexible.

We will be soon launching our affiliate program where you can earn up to 20% commission on house profits among your referred players. Launching soon.

We had a maintenance downtime. Everything is back up online. Good luck

It should be around 2-3 Months before we initiate signature campaigns.

Wow it is great that you guys are also planning to have a signature campaign here in the forum I hope that when this come up it would be for a long term campaign and you would also consider having us low ranks to the campaign.
And also I just want to ask about your affiliate program when would it be available and how could we get the link?

Hi Livemines could you help me on my deposit this is the transaction record https://blockstream.info/address/1EvEDnP6upvcS7z1NK5fCEWL3vujRVh9UG of the account that I created on your site but up till now my account balance is still 0.
P.S issue has been solved I didn't know that we have to click the "I deposit" link in their deposit/withdraw links.
P.P.S I hope you could lower the minimum amount to withdraw.

We are currently short on our team of Developer due to the current COVID-19 crisis but we are working towards bringing affiliate system addition in our coming update soon.

We are also finalizing the LiveJack designs at the moment.



Thank you for your feedback, We take it very sincerely.

Due to the many recommendations from many of the users to lower the Minimum withdrawal amount. We will be setting it up-to 700 Bits to be minimum. This change will be done under 24 hours. Updates to be followed here.

Minimum withdrawal limit has been relaxed to 700 Bits from previous 1000 Bits due to several feedback from the users.

Exciting game, played a few demo games. Will deposit and share my review soon

Sure let us know your username and we will send you some free bits to play.

Due to sudden demise of our core team member, we will be shutting down our operations and site will be up for auction soon. If anyone is Interested, they can leave us a personal message. Thread for the auction sale will be up soon.

Oh no... What will happen with people's deposits? Will you give them an opportunity to give you a withdrawal address for their coins, before you shutdown?

Why not sub-contract some of the core teams work to someone else? There are enough talented people out there to handle most of the tasks that are done on a site like this? (or do you have to pay them a share of the profit when the site is sold on auction?)

Sad when sites like this go down.  >:(

We dont know the actual reason but on the thing you had suggested it can really possibly done rather than going into final decision of shutting down.

They might not really that gaining profits or what? Yeah its sad to hear out when someone closes up its doors and i do hope that people would able

to withdraw their funds immediately.Announcement should be post up both on this forum and on the site itself about closure so that they would be aware.

We will be putting formal announcement on site and Yes, people are able to withdraw their funds smoothly without any issues till we are formally closed.

On the other hand, we are still in talks with some fellow members of the community in regards to keep it upright. We will be updating shortly. Withdrawals and deposits are still being processed.

Just had a good luck to win $150 from your site this morning.  ;D

We are up and running in full force.

Is there any affiliate or referral program ?

I played Mines betting game on other websites but never on Live Mines.
Why don't you enable demo mode for testing with for people who first time visit your website.
If they like it, maybe they will try betting with real coins.

Second thing after reading terms on your website, I don't see any kyc verification is needed.
@LiveMines can you confirm this?

Its already there and when you do try to input the amount of bitcoin and click that Play button then you can really able to play Demo. You can able to choose 1,3,5,24 mines and can input how much btc
you do desire to try on.
This is just like that typical Satoshimines in the past and also about that kyc verification then why do bother if its needed? You do just need to keep your own unique link for you to able to
access your profile and basing of into their TOS.

"Although we will not ask for your personal information, the player acknowledges that it is their responsibility to ensure that they are of legal age to play at our casino. You are responsible to check with your own jurisdiction’s laws to make sure it is legal to play at our bitcoin casino, and are also liable to pay any tax or other fee required by law in your jurisdiction, in case you win and withdraw money from the casino."

Unlike other casinos which do really need some verification if you do win big but had involved on shady way of betting then its normal for such verification.


They dont have and this site is going to close soon as they had tell earlier.

I've been playing Minesweeper even on the windows before I haven't tried this website yet I hadn't know they were already closing but still there's still a chance to play on Livemines and get all the nostalgic moments from before.

Are you sure about that?
OP posted this message here just few days ago:

One thing I notice exploring this website is that there is only one player called DroganDroganson.
I don't know if that is a bot or real user.

https://i.imgur.com/4GPFptb.jpg

Im basing of with this post last month thats i thought that they would close its doors but it seems that they had resolved out the issues that they had faced that time
and decided to continue instead.

How you do able to see history of bets? I cant see even one into their history tab.

If you've been here on this market for a while now then you would surely remember satoshimines which is actually the first mine game that i had played in the past
and this one resembles that site if you do base up in overall aspect.

Our affiliate program will be up this month for sure. As for our Bet history, Only real games played are shown in the "History" tab.

Also, We don't have any bots operating on our site to make it look more active. We will be dedicating resources towards advertising once affiliate program will be up and running.


We will be updating our site shortly with new features. Stay tuned. We are up and running strong.

Livemines did say that they are going to close the operation and want to sell it due to a reason as you can read the post in the previous page (few post above the post you quoted). Seems that Livemines changed their decision and forcing themselves to continue the project. It would be better if they can confirm about this, whether they are changing hands or stays with the same owner as before. Looking at the official account, no password and/email changed so we can assume that it stays with the same owner.

We are the same team as before with loss of one core member between us. His position has been filled up and we are operating the same as always. We are not closing down.

I can't see any information on how we will be able to win that 1 bitcoin. Is it a type of promotion that we can be part with or that is
the maximum bet that we can bet in your platform?

It will be good if you can put a section in your platform where we can see most of the answers to our common question like FAQ page or etc.

I tried to withdraw 1000 bits but there was an error message. The bits gone, but nothing landed my account. Can you assist?

It's been almost a year from the launch of this thread, may I know if you are planning to add more currencies in your platform as I see that you only accept Bitcoin from the  start and until now.

Maybe adding more currencies in your platform will increase your players so it will be good if you will also consider it as I can see that you have a good amount of players that are already playing in your platform, I would be love trying your game also in the future especially if you can add more currencies like ETH, EOS and other currencies that has a low transaction fees.

Minesweeper is much preferred game by most of the common people for its simple form and easy playing. However this is also similar to the Casinos, you need to be lucky to win in it. Very few sites give access to such games, and this site is almost an year old but today only I came to know about the game available for playing with bitcoin acceptance.

MInesweeper is one of my favourite game I always play it,  it's very interesting game and very excited kind of game you can set up a strategy here but like a Dice game you are always caught, you should do a signature campaign for this game, there are many minesweeper player here who do not know that the site exist.
Even a two weeks of campaign will create awareness and increase traffic and more players coming in and play.

There is no guarantee that signature campaign will increase their traffic of real players who play with their own money. I agree that it may create awareness but if the site wants to get more traffic of real players, regular competition/promotions will be more effective than signature campaign. If I have a site and I have limited funds to promote the site, I'll prefer to use the funds for promotion that makes player deposit and play rather than use the funds to have signature campaign.

Increase exposures in gambling board is good for LiveMines.com but I don't agree that a campaign that is planned to run for 2 weeks can have some good awareness and traffic.

Agree with you. No doubt that campaigns can increase exposures but from exposures to real increases in new registered accounts and new active gamblers, it will be a challenge. From signature exposure, people can visit site (increase traffic) but not all of them will create account and actually gamble with their money.

If the campaign is run with some good plans for promotions, giveaways, contests, and new products (games), it will increase success odds. I see many campaigns were run for short time (few weeks) and at the same period, no more interesting things on the site. At the ends of campaigns, companies gave up and never came back with new one. They lost.

I have played mines game but never tried a live mine game. Good to see that you guys allow few practice matches and the best part of your project is no KYC and no registration. Also the UI of your website is very unique and simple for anyone to understand.

I was not aware of your website until this topic just poped up. I would recommend you to start a signature campaign in order to promote your website in this forum. You have a good concept it only needs exposure.

This is indeed a nice offered game, you can simple cashout and go once you decide to move out.

The concept is very easy and even you are not really familiar with this game it can easily be learnable.

Op needs to provide more advertisement and what you have said about signature campaign may bring

more awareness, Good to know additional gambling game to enjoy when trying to spend some spare money and time.

is there a live mine game and what its difference from the  non live mine game ? i thought it was only thier domain name  but why not ? i also have played mines before but leveled up games are more better and fresh in our eyes .

rest that you said are also available before on  previous sites that offer mine games except maybe the u.i because thier u.i are not good but this site has a simple u.i which i like  .

thier website or the topic is already been there before , but you may miss it because it has been rarely bumped .  there are new sites too that are posted on this section

There's still no update coming from the dev he is not yet login in here for a week, this is an interesting gambling site, but unfortunately, he cannot keep it up, promoting the site updating this thread for new development.

A signature campaign is good for awareness of the site but if in three weeks and we are not getting an update from the developer better be careful on the site, do not deposit a big amount of money.

We are currently experiencing shortage of staff positions. They will be soon filled up. We are currently up and running.

I like to play Minesweeper and making it without registration or kyc is great but what does shortage of staff positions mean exactly?
Is website deposits and withdrawals working now or no?

They said that they are having some problems on staff positions but its clearly stated that they are current up and running which basically means that everything is working fine.

I would like to know as well on what positions had been vacant out?

I do love to play mines and this bring backs memories on playing Satoshimines back in the past.

Was it important to announce this sale and auction details here ? The players will lose the confidence as we do not know how will the new owner run the site and how much they can be trusted with our funds. After hearing this news, people will cash out their bankroll from the site and your site will lose the worth even before selling.

Couldn't find any proper place to put up this news/thread here. Currently we are the original owners and we will roll out announcement if ownership will be changed.

Its better to be transparent than to hide this information. Sooner or later, you would have known that site owner have been changed. So i think there is nothing wrong in telling this news.



Perhaps you can also place this information at the Auctions (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=73.0) section of the forum and may get the buyer quickly.

Thank you, I will put up this information at Auctions page.

Too bad to hear the news that the site is going for an auction what could be the reason why are you selling it?

It's better that you publicly stated that you are selling rather than selling it without the user knowing what's happening on behind.

Yes, everyone would like to know the purpose of the sale ? Are you busy enough not to handle the site anymore or the site is not profitable anymore to run?
Although i don't think any good gambling site could run in a loss. It's a profitable business.

As long as I remember this is the 2nd time for the owner put the site in an auction/for sale. They did the same thing previously but after several period of time, they decided to cancel it. The reason they said on the first auction is that there is sudden demise of the team member. Now they do it again, probably they think that the site is not getting enough traffic and they have limited funds to promote/advertise the site so they decide to put it into auction again. I'm not really sure if there will be potential buyer, but I think there will be some people who will be interested to buy if the price is reasonable enough.

I agree with that but my concern is will the users be able to trust the person or team who will buy it? I think that might result to trust issue since we all know that the owner of the website is not the original team.

Trust will be the first concern but if you want to try better put some a small amount and play, just enjoy the game by using a little amount of money and bet whenever the new management last long and gain a good trust to the community. I'm also skeptical about changes so maybe that's the least we can do for now.

Only the owners can tell why they are selling the site however do you have the evidence or link which showed that they tried to sale the site before also ?
Demise of a team member does not look a valid reason to sell the business.

It seems that it's the only way to test it out by transferring a small amount. We can't do anything about it though it's the team's decision to set the project for an auction.

I understand the owner that you are only doing it for transparency but they should also consider the players who are using their platform because there is a big possibility that the players will stop using their platform and worst cases they will abandon it.

If this scenario will likely to happen then the buyer will likely to face some problems in marketing the platform. This only one of the problems that the buyer will likely to face so I am sure that you will be facing some difficulties in selling your platform in this way.

Yes small amount for test is enough we should think about entertainment for a while and don't bet huge amount while the new owner is picking up a reputation in this industry.

Also it's sad to see the old owner plan to sold it since provably he can't support his site anymore, but let see the future owner performance if they can satisfy the gamblers here.

Its had to believe that the possible new owner make this site famous if they do saw on what happened on it when it was before into their possession but well it all matters with
the marketing and stuff because if we do really try to look on bigger picture, there are lots of mine games that can be found on known gambling sites which this one
will really be having a hard time to get recognition into the community but it will depend on the second owner on how he would handle it out.
This wont be simple considering the fierce competition into crypto gambling industry.

Wouldn't it be risky for the old users to use the platform if it was transferred to different person? Although we all know that the site is trusted we does not know about the new possible owner of the LiveMines.com. It looks like they're still operating until now I hope they will let us know if they have sold it to someone.

I do not think it is sold yet otherwise OP would have informed us and also he would have removed the word SALE from the title.
We never know how the new person/party will handle the site and how much trusted they will be. But anyone who will be buying would pay the price, so we should assume that he will try to further improve the site and the business.

Indeed and new ownership means the company would be putting more efforts and promotions probably to attract more users. I think they should open a thread in the auctions section maybe if they are really serious about selling selling their platform and they might find a lot of interested buyers.

I have never played here so I don't know how good the website and how many users play but really a running casino with decent number of players should be easy to sell or maybe have a partnership with someone and they can share revenue or something like that.

---

Suggestion to LiveMines.com team:
Please open a proper auction here if you wish - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=73.0

It depends if they would announce it or not but as a legit business and having no issues back in the past then we can presume out that they would really do such thing about
letting the community know that the site had been bought and transferred into others hands.Its sad to look some gambling sites that doesnt able to get that much attention
or do fail to get some marketshare into this industry but well this is how investment do works neither it would really be a success or failure. Mines games arent really that
scarce anymore unlike into those Satoshimine days where you can rarely see such type of games but now there are lots who have been offering this type of game.

But, since they have posted about their sale at least they are giving chance for users to withdraw their money if they wish and if you don't trust the new owners which is normal as new hands are never as trusted as the old ones, then you can just withdraw and wait for the casino to grow again with the new owners.

I am really glad they did not had a hidden deal and sold the casino instead they are being honest and informing upfront that they are selling which in fact might bring the selling cost a bit down as someone might have wanted the website to be owned without letting anyone knowing and that would have retained all the user base as it is.

We are up and running. Mass promotion will be up under 24 hours as it is our First Anniversary.

nice to see you come back , its been almost three months ever since your gone but i noticed that you have removed the word sale on this reply/title ( you know that Re: , above ) but does that mean that the site was sold succesfuly and its now owned by a new owner now? or the transaction was cancelled and decided not to sell the site at all ?

  but anyway that mass promotion sounded verry nicely to me and happy anniversary too by the way ;) . ill start watching this thread by now

How about the auction? Was it cancelled or you are a new owner of livemines?
Previously (during a year of operation) you have less promotion and now you are going to have mass promotion.
This case makes me think that there is an ownership change as promotion is something unusual on your site.
On the other side, you say "our first anniversary", it sounds like that there is no ownership change.
Would you please clarify about it since you have tried to sell your site several times so far.

That minesweeper used to be really great on Windows when there were almost no games available. You never had to get bored. Even played late into the night. It's fun and resourceful that you can now play it for money, but is that completely safe? In the sense that it is fair, I mean. Do they work with certificates, for example?

That variant has been around for a while longer. Was indeed very popular on Windows in the past. And especially if you had computer lessons when the teacher was not paying attention.
Too bad the admins threw minesweeper off then. Those classic old games are still the best.

Welcome back!

Didn't actually expect that you are still up and running with this Satoshimine-like type of website. Why aren't you active in 1 year time?
You had just missed out on getting some users and do lack with some promotions but since you do talk about mass promotion then
hopefully it would really be better this time.

For those who do look for satoshimine website then this one will be a better alternative.

There isn't any change in ownership. We are still the creators of the game. Yes, there are several promotions coming up.

Thanks for clarifying it and lets see what you can offer for your 1st anniversary.
I'm not mines game lover but if there is something attractive on your 1st anniversary celebration, I might be interested to participate.
You did try to sell the site few times during the past year, hope you wont do it anymore if you have serious willing to run your own casino for very long period of time.
Happy Anniversary and wish the best luck for your future.

As stated on that thread:

We are giving away total of $7500 to 50 new players who deposits $250 or more and play at least 10 games with minimum 500 Bits Bet on any mine field they desire.

I do agree on what that guy commented about signed messaged of funds or will be doing some escrow. Depositing $250 isnt really that something small
for people to put on for a site that had just recently go back to life.

Not attractive promo for me and I have to agree that escrow is needed here because it is their first promo since they have been operating for a year and they are offering $7,500 with some high requirements. The minimum deposit does not make senses for me while the bet requirement is to make 10 bets @500bits = worth around $170. They should let people deposit any amounts (or reducing the min deposit) as long as a user is able to make the 10 bets with 500bits each.
