lol, if you feel like sharing, what kind of exploit? I'm curious.. and I hope you won at btcdice! lol but I don't think you did
I set it to 24 mines (only 1 out of 25 wins) and clicked a random box to see which was the winner box. Then I clicked on the same box to play again (not the bet button) and kept on clicking the box that would have won the last time. For some reason the minefield seemed to choose the same box for win in the next 8-18 turns. Not always, but often enough that I figured it would be profitable because when you win it's 22.5x the bet. When I made a deposit I noticed that I could no longer do this. I had to choose the bet ever round instead of just clicking the TNT i blew. This seemed to change the odds for the same box to win again (again I'm not sure about it). But I tried to play this strategy anyway, and I had luck for some time. I won about 7 times losing only 3 rounds and was up from 1BTC to 1,159BTC (0.001 bet). Then I started taking more risk and also losing more. It was totally frustrating when I swapped to the 0.01 bet and it took over 40 rounds for the same box to win. Sometimes when my box lost over 25 rounds in a row i switched it to some other box just to see earlier choise win. daaaam  And I sent my last cents from minefield withdraw to dice so even if I did win the dice I wouldn't have gotten a cent out of it  oh, a minefield generation algo doesn't have any information about the previous minefield when generating a new one, it was a coincidence |

Bleh. I thought I found an exploit when playing with 0 bet. I had a win/lose ratio of 10/3. Then I made a deposit and lost everything (wtf?)  and when I had lost all hope I thought what the heck I'll just put the rest to btcdice and made a bet directly from minefield. God I feel like a retard..  lol, if you feel like sharing, what kind of exploit? I'm curious.. and I hope you won at btcdice! lol but I don't think you did |

My experience with minefield is that no matter how much you win, you are going to loose it all eventually if you keep playing!
yup, you could have calculated that from the odds too.. this is true for all gambling. |

any plans for ltc minefeild
That could be really cool! not really, not sure how big ltc is, should look into it at some point. I'll consider it for the next game I make. It's very easy to adapt the Bitcoin Minefield to Litecoin Minefield, instead of bitcoind you use litecoind, and the JSON RPC is the same  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Litecoinyup I supposed so, I'd need to create some logic/gui for it. maybe just running ltc.minefield.bitcoinlab.org would be easier. |

Also, why not have a permanent deposit address associated with a user id?
yeah, good question, when I was making the site I was new to bitcoin and supposed that people care about anonimity a lot so I implemented this thing with rotating addresses, you can actually use a single address for all the transactios.. I should make this clear. |

OK, IE9 and Opera don't work though Chrome is running smoothly  Little annoying but it will do! ie is not supported, I should add a warning message for IE, and I'll figure out opera.. I should be able to get opera to work. |

Hi, I cant even play this game properly as I have to keep refreshing for the game to be responsive! Any issues?
hm, refreshing? strange.. the site is working properly for me.. maybe try changing the browser? ff and chrome work for sure. |

some kind of weirdness with the server, I'm guessing due to bitcoind being moved to another machine, I've turned the service off until I figure this out. won't be able to deal with this in the next 24 hours though.

We should make a "buried treasure" that only shows up 1/10000000000000000th of a time but automatically clears all the blocks for you I don't think that changes things. I want to leave it simple. this would be an equivalent of enlarging the minefield + playing on max mines. |

I cannot withdrawal. First time this happens.
"Error: Insufficient funds"
Balance: 0.2669 BTC
Sent user id by PM.
hey, you'll be able to cash out your account now, I had a super lucky high roller that cashed out everything from the servers wallet:) how much did they win? 100+ btc at one point, they cashed out around 50 and played 24 mines until they lost the rest. |

blockchain is being synced on the new server, the service will be up in a few hours.

hey, server is down again, its obviously too weak for bitcoind..
I've ordered a new, powerful dedicated server, I'll set it up tomorrow.
You could use http://blockchain.info/json_rpc_apihm, how do you think I communicate with bitcoind now? yeah, this api is the standard way to talk to the standard client. What do you mean? You comunicate with bitcoind with JSON RPC on your server, right? If you comunicate with JSON RPC on your server, then you could use Blockchain.info JSON RPC API to manage transactions (Send, Receive, etc) without having to run by yourself bitcoind... oh, sorry, thought that you linked standard JSON RPC bitcoind api to me.. oh, I see, that's interesting.. not sure if I'm ready to trust third party website with my wallet, taking the history of bitcoin websites into consideration, but this is really good to know, thanks. the service looks really well made. |
