Cant reproduce your problem, upgrading and changing chains works fine.

What browser do you use? CHecked that you have JavaScript activated?

Pending just means that the game has received your coin - yet the transaction wasnt confirmed 4 times.

Ok... need someone to tell me what exactly went wrong.. i really cant reproduce the bugs at the exchange.. So, if you know how to duplicate the coins, just PM me please.

 Good post.

I'd guess transaction fees?

ALright, sorry for the delay.. but currently i am under some stress at university and job.. cant really find the time to fix those bugs.
I currently make a copy of the game for myself to fix it in the times i dont really have to attend stuff.. hope i can fix it soon.

I kind of like this new coin... especially since it is the first honest altcoin in a while. It has several things that one needs to point out:

- It knows its place: It doesnt claim supremecy about any other chain
- It is meant to be for speculators. We all knew that for i0, ix etc, but noone ever mentioned that
- Fixed Diffs mean that pools are out of the game, so be it.
- The decrease of payout is also an interestering experiment with every "retarget" is an interestering experiment (something to corporate into virtualminer ^^). Since it makes a subsiedy cut like seen in Solidcoin2 or will see in Bitcoin overfluent..
- THere are no premined coins, everything is open source and as transparent as it is possible - something that is not so common anymore..
- Based on the design of having scrypt and fixed diff pools are more or less overfluent. Of course pooling can occur but with the outcome of "lag" - and why should people pool up? Basically everyone has a realistic chance of finding blocks on solo..

I really watch this one it HAS some potential..

Hi, could you give a hint on the algo you will be using? Now that there are really good Scrypt minerds out i would love to see yet another scrypt chain... or will it be something you tinkered yourself?

Yes... for now... some people managed to get free coins on the exchange. until that is fixed i cannot run it.. currently i am at work so cant look into it anyway, but from what i saw last night it will be something quite hard to fix... we will see that later..

Sorry guys, wont be able to fi the bug tonight.. too tired to work onto such a sensitive thing right now. Will do that as the first thing tomorrow.

Finally found a PC here to write some stuff.. its really easier than using just DolphinHD and my Desire ,0)

So.. where are we and what happened? Oh, right.. so.. Right after the start one of the users has withdrawn his money from the game (3.3 BTC) and by mistake he was able to withdraw that money twice. That lead to some auto-shutdown of withdrawals for safety reasons (Actual balance went 2 BTC below what should be in the wallet.) I normally keep 2 or 3 BTC more in the wallet than what is needed to pay the balances to every user and since the buffer wasnt filled, to be more precise, even drained a bit the system shut down (Client stopped etc). Therefore deposits and withdrawals werent processed anymore.
I hope you all understand why this happened and how it shows that the game's wallet is basically safe from this POV..

Alright, following these events that user complained to me he wasnt able to withdraw his money a third time and we could reproduce what happened: He didnt notice his money was already sent + the second amount and the third couldnt be sent thanks to safeety shutdown. So he sent the 3.3 BTC from the second payment back to the game's wallet and now were are again in the upper part of the buffer. I have also deposited some BTC to the game in order to keep a buffer of at least 50% of what should be in the wallet at all time - also to increase the safety shutdown to initiate even before the buffer can underrun or be drained. So my system will look like this:
Example:
Wallet should have: 12.9 BTC
Wallet Buffer:            6.5 BTC
Wallet shutdown at: 115% (Should have)
So at every time there should be more in the wallet than what is needed to pay out every user in case of major problems (which seem unlikely).

A few words on safety in general.
I have had in the phase between Christmas and last Saturday several dozen MySQL injection attemps plus a few Brute Force attempts on my Client. None of these attacks did succeed. The only notable thing that happened was that unforseen shutdown on saturday but i know where the problem is and once i am home tonight i will fix it asap and re-enable withdrawals. Should be done by 21:00CET.

So sorry for yet another inconvenience, but i apologize for it and hope you will still keep playing the game!

The user who was able to withdraw his funds twice sent me the amount back that was missing in the wallet. So everything is ok again, yet i still have disabled the withdrawal - and deposit functions since i havent fixed the bug as of now that resets the amount of money in the user balance. I am on phone only till monday and will it fix then. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dont deposit any money right now... Just looked at my database and someone managed to withdraw about 7 BTC in total... I have restocked the wallet and disabled withdrawals but cant do much more right now.. hate to figure out what happened while having only my phone with me... but i think i already know what happened.

*edit* Seems like someone managed somehow to withdraw 3.something BTC twice.. this happened at no testing and i am not quite sure how that happened. Since i "earned" about 10 BTC in the testing phase there is no big thing to even that out again, but i need to find out what happened exactly at withdrawal to re-enable it again. If someone wants to pull out his BTC i can understand and would accept it if you'd send me an PM about that. Yet i wont be home before Monday evening so this would have to wait a few days. Still would ask for patience though.

The game can be considered stable now. I won't touch the rigs anymore. Chains will undergo sort of an lifecycles though: if not mined by at least 10% of the total hashing power they can die (not installed yet).

About the coupons: beginning next week you will be able to buy coupons with virtual coins.. But I won't be home to finish that code till Tuesday..

Everyone is mining happily again.. game has resumed and even the chat works. Guess primary development is over :0)

Alright... the mining for Beta users has been restarted about 3minutes ago. Due to a typo in a file it couldnt resume earlier. I will postpone regular starting unteil 12:20 CET - so the Beta users will keep their 1hr exclusive mining.

These times are correct.
If my watch isnt playing tricks on me the rigs of the beta testers will be starting up in 20min and the all others will follow up roughly an hour later.

You might share the IP range of an user that has constantly tried MySQL injections on the page.. i have narrowed the banned range, hope it works now again.

Just added a small Chat to the page. I will add PMs in the coming week when i am back. I will see that everything works tomorrow at the restart, but afterwards i got to be away for a while..

It was not really planned to change values oneself and i am currently working on other stuff... but send me a pm with what you want to change and i am going to edit the database by hand.
