Here's another observation that may explain why frequently when you find an extra chest (crate) in missions, it doesn't appear under "my crates".
When the message says you found a bronze crate, you get nothing, if it says you found a silver crate, you get a bronze one.
I guess the variable indicating which crate you got it simply set one too low.

Yes, that's what it means, at least sometimes.
It depends whether or not the icon of the mission ist still there after the mission failed (refresh the page to make sure).
The secure way how you get failure for good is, if you don't send a drone, but move to a field with a mission on it.

It had been announced before the update that all HP above 1000 will be moved to mining a token and if you check your mining room, you'll see, on top of whatever actual crypto you're mining, you're also mining CGT (Crypto Mining Token).
What that's worth remains to be seen, it's been announced more info about that to come soon.

Not sure if it helps any, but here's an observation:

I move to a field in between 4 fields with a mission on each.
Arrived there I launch all 4 missions, obviously 1 minute each and since I'm level 20 all have 100% chance.
3 out of the 4 missions come back with "nothing there", but the mission icons are still on those 3 fields.
I relaunch the 3 failed missions, 2 come back with "nothing there", but the mission icons are still on those 2 fields.
I relaunch the 2 failed missions, 1 comes back with "nothing there", but the mission icon is still on the field.
I relaunch the last mission a 4th time and then finally I get success on that one as well.

This time there cannot have been another user "stealing" a mission or anything, it just plain gives a success rate of only 1 in 4 while displaying 100% chance.

Furthermore I noticed, the rate of success seems to decrease with the amount of missions I do in a day.
The first 10 or 20 missions in a day come back with 100% success, once I've done over 50 missions the success rate is less than 25%.

Cmon man, do the math.
I by myself when I wake up in the morning with 200 energy full, some daily quests to do and some chests to open for more energy, can entirely empty a complete area of all missions it has in it in a matter of 20 minutes and that already includes missions I wouldn't even think of doing if there were any other missions available.
This means as soon as you see just ONE other player in any given area you can be absolutely sure that the average of mission success between these two players is HALF of the 100% it promises and I've seen today areas with 4 or 5 players in them at the same time.
Furthermore the map always displays your own position in the center, meaning as soon as you target a mission that's more than half the way to the edge of the visible range, there's a high probability that a user you can't even see, from the next area "steals" the mission before you get to it.
It has happened to me today several times that I found nothing in a mission at the edge of my visible range and the only way how that could have happened is that some other user was sitting just outside my visible range, getting to the mission faster than me.

IFFFFF you want to keep the competition idea up (which I strongly mind), at the very least any given mission should display how many others are already targetting that mission and when they will arrive.

If that's not enough, the daily quest of doing 100 missions in a day is just as much nonsense as the daily quest of doing 20 jobs a day.
On level 20 I'm not interested in doing low level missions, but you cannot do 100 level 20 missions in a day, meaning to make the daily quest you have to go for low level missions which contradicts the goal of getting to a higher level.
Same with 20 Jobs a day, having up to 200 energy at a time and only 10 hours job time per day, I find myself doing 20 times 1 minute jobs just to make the quest, before I do a 200 minutes job, does that serve any purpose other than wasting about 10 minutes of my time for launching 1 minute jobs?

Well, I'm sorry, I've been sceptical about this update from the day it was announced and the reality BY FAR exceeds my worst fears.
Not because of bugs, but because of what it would be if all the bugs were fixed.

About missions not finding anything despite 100% chance, it's very simple and easy to see.
If two or more users are in the same area, both get 100% chance for a given mission displayed, but if both launch a drone to that spot, only the one who arrives first gets paid, the other gets nothing.
You can even tell in advance, if you refresh the page while your drone is half way or so, the icon of whatever the mission is about will have disappeared before your drone arrives and then you cannot even cancel the mission, despite knowing already you won't find anything.

This is definitely not my definition of 100% and that's definitely not a "message issue", it's way too many users competing for way too few missions in a way too small field.
You might remember a while back when I as well as several other users before the launch of V2 said "we do not want to combat other players" and THIS is just that.

Out of the last 20 missions I did, all with "chances of success 100%" 18 came with the result of "nothing there" and of the remaing 2 only ONE was counted in the daily quests.
Would anyone care to define "100%" please, my definition of that appears to be the opposite of what it is on this site.

Take a wild guess, why in the old version already, even though it paid (at least for me on level 20) more than double of what it pays now, in the market while it was still open, selling LTC for BTC could easily fetch 30-40% profit.
Might be because withdrawal limit in LTC is less than 1/10 of the limit in BTC and almost nobody is willing to wait several months for a payout.
In the old version I've taken advantage of it, because I didn't mind waiting longer to get 30-40% more value, in this new version with so much lower rewards ....... well ....... haven't made up my mind yet.

I'm not sure which part of it I don't understand, but there are two things I'd like clarified:

- if a mission has "chances of success 100%", how come I frequently get "there was nothing there"?
- if I don't send a drone, but "move there", how come I frequently have to wait the time the move takes, but afterwards I find myself in the old spot I started from?

Furthermore there are tons of missions that do not pay even though the message says it has paid, i.e. I just now finished a chest mission, message says I found a bronze crate, I go to my crates, there isn't one.

..... and then there's a serious bug that we already know from the old version with "start mining", had been solved there long ago, now the bug has reappeared in missions.
When clicking a mission, then "send a drone", frequently it doesn't show the drone on the way or with a long lag (unless I refresh the page after every click), if I assume it just didn't take the click and click again "send a drone" it will send TWO drones to the same destination, charge twice energy and crystals and of course pay just once.

Don't expect anything from that.
You won't be able to sell anything at all for the simple reason that nobody will have any actual cryptos.
Before the update you could get in the market roughly 1 sat per 10 crystals, 0.5 sat per bronze card, etc, ......... we can expect that to drop by a factor of about 100.

It's as I expected, mining reward has been cut by over 50% (at least for me on level 20), mission rewards have been cut (in my subjective estimate) by over 90%, the site drowns all players in crystals, cards, cryptocoinz and other stuff, but nobody is making anything of any actual value, unless you count 6 sat an hour in mining reward, which corresponds to 35 cents a month, a value.
The entire map is empty of any missions one could do for anything of value, there isn't one single BTC or LTC or Doge mission available right now while I'm writing this, let alone missions of level 20, except of one BTC mission that cannot be clicked, because it sits next to a field with a tall building on it that covers the entire field with the BTC icon.
Where in the old version one could run 15-18 missions from level 20 down to level 15 in parallel, in V2 I have seen a total of ONE level 20 mission so far and of course it didn't pay anything "because some other player was faster".
Over 2 years of incredible work to accumulate tiny amounts of HP from daily bonus and chests have been rendered entirely useless, because now the site drowns you in HP with every mission, but instead of actual cryptos you just get tokens from that.
As it is right now the site is a complete overkill of a punishment against long term users, it's almost as if they wanted to get rid of all long term users.

That said ...... well ...... we're on day 1 of the new version, I believe Jamboom will figure out himself that there's just no point in doing any missions at all while the time it takes launching the mission (let alone the time it takes accumulating energy for it) exceeds in cost of electricity for running an average computer the reward the mission pays.
I'm sure he'll notice a huge drop in user numbers, where I believe he doesn't want that to happen.
I say let's see what he'll come up with, for now he's busy fixing the bugs.

What will it mean for the mission boost %, if we cannot claim a mission in over 24h?
What will happen to missions in progress?

No I haven't, I use Yandex because that one allows regular Chrome extensions.
As I said, usually I never use my mobile for faucet claims, it just can't compare to my 65" screen.
Only the other day I was in bed already and had forgotten to restart virtual mining, that's when I had a little fight with this script.
By now I'm long back on my desktop PC.

What's with this white overlay window that appears on the bottom of the page?
It's all in french, I don't understand a word, but I guess it's something about accepting cookies or so.
Problem is, while it does work on PC, it does not work on Android.
Usually I never use my mobile to access CMG, but last night I tried and I had to give up, because that overlay reappears after every single click you do on the page.
On PC you click accept once, then a small button stays down in the bottom right corner of the window, but on Android no matter how often you click accept, with the next click anywhere on the page the overlay reappears.

I'm almost on the run, going out for dinner in a few minutes, so I had to type this one faster than I usually would.

As I said in my previous post, even a chat still requires a working support and that just doesn't exist on CMG.
What the moderators do at Cointiply is (aside of indicating cheaters to the admins) mostly pointing users seeking support to the support form and kinda guarantee them that they will get support there within a day or two and that's why the chat at Cointiply is calm and fun.

A poll asking about a dedicated CMG forum, where only Patrons can vote? Funny!
Anyway, here's my 5 cents:

Literally ALL forums that ever opened on faucet sites got overwhelmed by users seeking support that they couldn't get from the site support.
There's no point in opening a forum, unless you first implement a site support that is so good that 99% of all users are completely satisfied with it.
Such a support is plain impossible, simply because the cost of such a support far exceeds the revenue of the site.

But even IFFFFFF you could have such a good support, your forum would still get overwhelmed by cheaters who got their payment denied and try anything to still get paid, up to 100s of signups per cheater just to flood the forum.

What you CAN have is what Cointiply is doing, which is an on site chat, where volunteer moderators are given the power to ban disruptive users from the chat, where these moderators receive some premium features (such as loyalty bonus protection without daily claims) for free.
I'm one of the moderators at Cointiply and I can tell you from my own experience, it works quite well.
Not at last this chat and the disruptive users in there are one of the best possible indications, where cheaters give themselves away by their behavior.
But of course that still requires a working support, where admins at least listen to the moderators and react quickly when cheaters are reported.

Just because I have nothing better to do right now, here's the main reason why I (and probably many others) don't like your games.
You do not provide any kind of explanation of how the game works, there is literally nothing that says how far you have to get to receive what kind of price, and even though clicking start doesn't require an explanation, there's nothing about how the game proceeds, nothing about how it ends.

I.e. the "miner run".
I've tried it throughout the last 2 years several dozen times, always with the exact same result, which is the game getting stuck.
No matter how many screens I clear, there's always another screen where sooner or later I bump into one of the viruses, where my miner turns red and the game freezes without any kind of indication what I should do now.
There's no popup saying game over or anything, I in fact once left the game open over night and even after some 10 hours the game is still right there, frozen without any indication what's going on.
All I can do is click somewhere in the menu of the site to get to another screen, but there's absolutely nothing I get out of the game, other than having wasted my time and spent a game token.
Furthermore I have over the last 2 years accumulated 100.1% virus slow down, but even though I do not remember how fast they were in the beginning, by my impression the viruses haven't slowed down at all, certainly not 100%, because that would mean they wouldn't move at all anymore.
I have no adblock or anything, I tried with different browsers, always the same, so I just gave up on this game and with THIS experience seeing that your other games also have no manual of any kind, I expect that to be more or less the same disappointment.

Despite this experience I still gave the blockchain explorer a try, but I figured out quickly that playing this costs more than you get, on average you lose HP, you lose coins, you lose crystals, small amounts, but still a loss.

After this I haven't even looked at your hackers mission anymore and that's also the reason why I don't want to play any future game you might come up with.

Apparently he has survived longer than most other faucets, for the simple reason that he pays more than most other faucets.
Users just don't care about anything but the relation between time invested and value paid out, meaning the lower his expenses the more he pays.
Without any staff and without any maintenance he sure will lose a few users, but for the remaining users it's still one of the highest paying faucets there are.

Payout won't remain the same.
Moving all HP above 1000 to mining a token instead of cryptos means for all premium users a gigantic cut in mining reward.
For me with 1170HP (accumulated from daily bonus and chests over almost 2 years) it means a cut by over 50% and whether or not the token will have any kind of value is an open question.

Either way the site saves money, because even if the token gains a value, it doesn't cost the site anything, they create those tokens out of thin air.
It would be a win-win if the tokens gain a value, but whether that's going to happen we will have to wait and see.

That's how long it took them to notice the crash.

I'm not exactly sure, but I believe the entire set of sites, from the coinpot faucets up to the entire mellowads site is just a 1 man show.
That explains why there just can't be any support nor any maintenance, he most likely has a real job and does this in his spare time, meaning he simply has no time to do anything besides the bare minimum.

Appartently they haven't done any maintenance, they just restarted the main server, leaving all the lags and not working parts in place.
I guess that's why this time the count of loyalty didn't get extended by the downtime.
