Hello and a happy new year to all of you,
today we released the version 2.0 of our Bitcoin bootcamp. This release contains a major enhanvement: the achievements.
Achievements can be earned by every participant when he performs certain trading activities. For example, he can get achievements for:

• high trading volumes
• high trading frequencies
• high account balances
• good ranking positionings

Good thing: achievements are not only a great way to show your trading skills but also gives each participant a reward in EUR and Bitcoin in the Bitcoin exchange game.

We also are proud to announce that we reached 600 participants. Thereby 15% of all participants are still able to win real Bitcoin at the end of the first round on the 1st of March 2014.

Have fun trading!

Greetings,

we made small modifications to the Order Frontend to improve usability:

- The "search" button is renamed to "refresh" button, to adequately describe it's use.
- Order Limit fields now have the current Bid / Ask as initial value.
- Order Nominal will be cleared after placing an order.

Also, we are coming near to the 400 user landmark - thanks for all your feedback, we hope you enjoy the game!

Hello there,

when would be the next opportunity to get into the advertising train? Or is the chance gone for two years?

Hello there!

Our bitcoin exchange game is getting more and more users, some players already could profile themselves as prospective winners (have a look at top 10 Ranking).

Furthermore, we are currently trying to make the game experience smoother. We do this by improving the notification system and increasing the update frequency of the trading chart. Also we are working on several slight changes that are supposed to increase the usability of our site. If you are desperately missing functions or features, just give us a shout over the feedback boxes.

Best regards and stay tuned.

Hi,

falls einige Teilnehmer das Gefühl haben, wir würden ihre "best Guesses" abkupfern und dadurch Trading-Strategien entwerfen: Das machen wir nicht!

Wir werden höchstens die Logs durchforsten, um Cheater zu entlarven.

Falls noch jemand Bedenken hat, kann er sich ja gerne bei mir melden .

Viele Grüße,

Ben

Hey,

sorry for unsettling you.

I can ensure you that this was and will be the only change of the first round on this scale. We tried to design it fairly by increasing the prize pool in the exact dimension as we increased the length of the round. And nope, our developers won't vanish, we guarantee that the prizes will be distributed shortly after the end of the first round.

Doing rounds on a weekly base would be a great thing for the participants, but I fear that the resulting overhead activities would then cripple our development.

PS: I was asked "are you analysing the behavior of users in order to generate trading strategies?" on several occasions now. I can also ensure you that we are not analysing our participants' behaviour just to create stressable trading techniques. This would heavily conflict with our understanding of trustworthiness.

Hi,

seit dem Start der Runde am 1. Dezember hat sich einiges getan. Die Anzahl der Teilnehmer des Börsenspiels steigt stetig an, es haben sich bereits einige Teilnehmer als Favoriten für die Top 10 positioniert. Die Anzahl der Teilnehmer des Börsenspiels steigt stetig an, es haben sich bereits einige Teilnehmer als Favoriten für die Top 10 positioniert.

Um das Spielerlebnis noch interessanter zu machen, werden wir in den nächsten Wochen neue Funktionalitäten wie Auszeichnungen und erweiterte Handelsfunktionen anbieten. Um es allen Teilnehmern zu ermöglichen, sich mit den neuen Funktionen vertraut zu machen, verlängern wir die Rundenzeit um 1 Monat bis 1. März. Gleichzeitig erhöhen wir die Menge der zu gewinnenden Bitcoins auf 1,5, so dass Anzahl der als Gewinn ausgestzten Bitcoins pro Zeiteinheit gleich bleibt. Zusammengefasst gibt es folgende Änderungen für die aktuelle Runde:

• Die Laufzeit der ersten Runde wird um einen Monat verlängert, das Ende ist nun der 01.03.2014.
• Die gesamte Gewinnausschüttung der ersten Runde wird von 1 auf 1,5 Bitcoin erhöht.

Weiterhin viel Spaß beim Handeln!

Hey,

we are glad that you enjoy our Bitcoin exchange game .

To further improve the game experience we will offer additional functionality during the next weeks including achievements and extended trading possibilities. To enable all participants to acquaint themselves with the new functions we extend the duration of the current round by 1 month until 1st of March. At the same time we increase the amount of prize Bitcoins to 1.5 in order to maintain the winnable Bitcoin per time unit ratio.

and yes, we have a lot of amazing ideas! Just buckle up and enjoy the (Bitcoin) ride

Hello,

in our FAQ the distribution is explained in detail. Yes, the first place gets  ~25% of prizepool, which currently is about those 0.28 BTC. Unfortunately we are not Bitcoin Millionaires and therefore cannot give away 20 Bitcoins

But: We are thinking about increasing the prize pool in the near future, stay stuned.

I hope I did not overload you guys with information .

By the way: at the current user count, every user wins real Bitcoins... signing up still is very rewarding

Hi,

danke für Eure positive Rückmeldung!

Der Kurs wird von Coindesk alle paar Minuten geholt, Coindesk selber nimmt einen Durchschnittskurs von mtgox / bitstamp / btc-e.

Bei Fragen einfach melden

Hey, I can explain it, if you like

Limited Orders are specified by the amount of Bitcoins to be sold/bought and the limit that you are willing to sell/buy for at least/at most. So you place a sell order, "SELL 1 Bitcoin for 900€."

Only if someone would bid 900€ for your Bitcoin, the orders would be matched and the trade executed. It is possible that it takes 2 months until someone is bidding 900€ for 1 Bitcoin, the order would have to wait 2 months then in order to be executed.

Execute best (or unlimited) orders are only specified by the amount of Bitcoins to be sold/bought. You will then get the best price available on the market. You place a buy order, "BUY 1 Bitcoin"

This means that you will get the cheapest 1 Bitcoin on the market. Also, this will be done almost instantly, as long as open orders are on the market.

We have also some other features in our order matching engine, this limited/unlimited stuff is pretty basic. What's not basic is the opportunity to place as much orders as possible, if the needed balance is not available, the order will be "paused". When the balance is available and a matching order counterpart is found, the order will be matched and executed. This allows you to trigger whole "Buy and sell Chains", but also opens a new risk: "the automated money burning machine."

This happens when you have two orders that - in combination - result in a sure financial loss. For example, you have an old paused order "Buy 10000 Bitcoins for 700€/BTC", the order is paused because you have no Euro Balance. Then you add another order, which is "sell 10000 Bitcoins for 650€". This order could be executed (you have Bitcoins Balance, matching orders can be found) but would kill 50€ + transaction fees per Bitcoin (700 Buy, 650 Sell). We implemented a plausability check that is supposed to protect our participants from burning money by placing contradicting orders.

Edit:

Did u receive the confirmation mail? If not, just give me a shout, "I'm helping"

Hey peeps, thank you very much for your response!

to the distribution of prizes: We provide a FAQ Page ( https://www.draglet.com/en/faq ) , the distribution is explained there.

to the rounds: We will have more (presumably 3 rounds), each round yielding prizes and (ofc) achievements for the placing

I am glad that we get such a positive response and am looking forward to answer your Feedbacks / support inquiries!

Hello dear bitcointalkers,

we just launched our draglet Bitcoin bootcamp on https://www.draglet.com/en .

Our Bitcoin exchange game allows everybody interested in Bitcoin to dive into the trading activities of cryptographic currencies without taking the risk of financial losses. Each participant's balance will result in a personal score that determines his ranking. The first round (which started on 1st of December) will end on 1st of February 2014. At the end of the first round, one real Bitcoin will be distributed to the top 100 participants.

After registering for free, the participants are able to place the first orders. The aim of the game is to increase the starting capital, which is 100,000€ and 100 Bitcoin. The exchange rate will never deviate too far from the actual development of the Bitcoin exchange rate.

We provide a detailed FAQ which answers most questions about our Bitcoin exchange game.

Support is available by e-mail, IRC and plenty of feedbackboxes in the logged-in area.

Achievements coming soon!

Best regards,

Ben

Coinlet ?

XD

Aahahhaah made my day.

I think a great deal of assessing one's trustworthyness is not only relying on the appearance but analysing the promises each firm did give in order to make promises to its customers regarding the ROI. Didn't cointerra screw this up?

Yepyep.

It is the people, that:

- reflect upon the mechanics of bitcoin and try to contineously improve it
- create all those startups that will be the base that will be needed when bitcoin will be used mainstream
- talk to people that do not understand the concept, explain them and calmly show them why their fears are not really valid
- OFC all users/miners/geeks of Bitcoin

Thank you for your order from Butterfly Labs! Your order (#XXXXXXXX) was shipped via USPS, USPS Priority Mail Int'l on 10/24/2013.  You can track your package at any time using the link below.

This means that I will get my device in - when?  4 weeks or what?

Then I am FINALLY allowed to convert precious electricity in heat and watch my wallet bitcoin count grow by 1 mbtc per day. at most.

DIFFICULTY SO STRONK WOW

Does anyone have a clue how long this 0% trading fee promotion will last (presumably) ?

Sounds defenitely like that. But i keep having problems using this site. I have no clue if i do not use it right or if it is buggy cannot read chinese signs and the translation function of chrome is not as working as intended
