It's a little worse than that. The wallet id you are referring to belongs to the user name "BitPotato". I was on for a good part of the day yesterday/last night. They got every reset potato!

Yeah that guy's a real tool (lolol)


A captcha or daily quota per ip would save customers and your business bitpotato, you have to realise this.

While your moral crusade against 'Guzer' seems to be a little extreme, do realize the following:

- I use that address for BitPotato, CoinBomb, LTC Treasure, and other gambling games. Yesterday I won two potatoes, one of which did not sell. Today, I won a cheap spud, and am likely going to lose the Gold potato today, since someone is locking it out to prevent buyers.

- A more eloquent solution to the botting problem would be to give each address a cooldown. Have it so it can only be clicked every 100ms, and anything more wouldn't be accepted. Basically anything other than requiring a captcha. Those are frustrating to fill out themselves, let alone with a race to finish it.

- A program to auto-fill a captcha is an easy enough feat, and would only increase the distance between botters and clickers, easily destroying the website's thrill.

- Look into keyboard macros and having them simulate clicking when held down. I'm not a bot, I'm always there, but I'm not playing with a mouse either.


 Do you not go by the username "BitPotato"?

yeah well done guys, awesome update. Now if you can just stop the botters we will be in business (you can see just from the previous winners how it's the same guys, including the one i posted about on the previous page winning them all before anyone else has a chance).

edit: another glitch? flashes up to send payment to blah blah then it takes the opportunity away from me one second later and shows somebody else waiting for payment?

ip using LhRXHfDoDuNZbcjtzWcFQVQgGuzerHqNYp is killing it for everyone, 9 potatoes a day!?

I can literally click my mouse non stop for hour after hour pre-emptively waiting for verifications to finish and i will never get the potato. i love the game, but the frustration of being beaten by a program someones written will cause me and others to leave and ultimately kill this site. When just the botters are left nobody will buy once the potato has reset because they wont sell it. Then they will leave too. Manual banning is not enough because it doesn't seem to be happening. A captcha or daily quota per ip would save customers and your business bitpotato, you have to realise this.


It's a little worse than that. The wallet id you are referring to belongs to the user name "BitPotato". I was on for a good part of the day yesterday/last night. They got every reset potato! I don't mean some or quite a few, I mean all!!! I'm talking about watching for almost 14 hours of that user winning every level reset potatos. I managed to get two low priced potatos and neither was repurchased. With the new lower starting prices, that is more incentive for the botters to purchase two of the first three sales to gain their profit.I believe I may have to give up on the game. Sitting there waiting for a potato to time down(that's if "BitPotato" doesn't snatch it with 5 minutes left) and then clicking away all for nothing is just too big of a waste of time. It is not possible to get the first two sales anymore, and with sales rarely getting past 3 purchases, it will not be profitable. Guess the bots can fight it out.
