As Furious 7 mentioned, each daily challenge can have a different objective: one of those can indeed be for participants to get the highest ROI that day; others can reward the participant with the bet won at the highest odds; others yet can reward the parlay with the most bets; and many others - take a look through this thread (corresponding to the period of the last round) to see a few more examples.

---

Well, we'll probably keep much the same schedule this round; that is, we'll make a new post every day (at 22h UTC) announcing the winner of that day's challenge, and the challenge for the following day (and we'll also edit the second post in this thread to reflect this information, as you point out).

Even if there was, would you really want to play there?

I mean, just look through the 11 pages of users discussing the possibility of others cheating through the use of bots - human players wouldn't stand a chance.

Well, at the moment, you don't - the site isn't even online anymore (nor has it been in a long time, I think).

Hi, dunhilBLACK. This is the Tipster Competition - read all about it, and register, in the following thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1248467.0.

EDIT: well, not register, it seems - see FrueGreads' response below.

I haven't really followed what happened with Minerfarm, so I can't help with that (and the thread looks 48 pages too large, at the moment).

In relation to this game, however, this is what I can say: you don't have to deposit BTC to play (although that will eventually give you an advantage later on in the game); the amount you get from building things in-game is relatively small (maybe in the order of a faucet, maybe a bit more? it does depend on the level of what you are building though, I think¹); and the game has ads. Now, I can't tell what proportion of the payments players get are coming from ads, versus other players' deposits, or the developers' wallets or wherever, but maybe the OP can share that with us, to clear any doubts.

1 - I'm not sure how that is implemented exactly but, I imagine that, if the amounts paid during game play were proportional to the total amount the game has available (somewhat similar to what I think PipsTycoon was trying to do), that would remove any issue altogether.

I've only tried withdrawing BTC once, so far, but had no issues with it - here's the transaction ID (it's from last week): https://blockchain.info/tx/bdc78ebc9cadc95cf67355c386a87473f0fbbdac5e44ac99bfd261f0f2980ee0.

However, for the sake of full disclosure, I should say I never deposit money/BTC in online games and have no intention of doing so with this one either (however much I may like the game); so, only my time is at stake here.

Guys, you don't need to quote FrueGreads' post because of today's challenge - just post the bets as you normally would.

Hmm, it might be best to PM DirectBet about that error. In relation to the daily prizes, you can still claim them, of course - please PM DirectDice about them.

And, about the withdrawal restriction, here's what DirectDice had posted earlier:

We'll probably need some time after the end of the round to review the competition, and make any changes that may be needed - but we'll try to keep it short.

However, before giving up on this round, remember there are still 330 mBTC to be given out as daily prizes, plus the 70 mBTC participation prize (if you have 100 bet slips). Also, with 7 paid places, and the participant on the 7^th place currently with a ROI less than 17%, you still have a good shot at the top prizes (5^th and 6^th place aren't that much higher either).

As soon as you have a Radar Tower (or the equivalent in the Red Guild; allows you to see the map, and players around you), and some units (you'll need a War Factory for that), you'll be able to attack others. However, unless you are in a war between Federations, there is a limit of 3 attacks per day you can make on the same territory.

Hmm, the problem with Mrs.Van.Braam's bets isn't exactly the odds at which they were placed, but rather, whether the minimum bet stake was used in them (at least 1% of the participant's current bankroll).

At any rate, this won't impact today's challenge at all - everything will work as if yesterday's winner had been announced as usual, so feel free to win today's challenge.

Ugh... some of my forces seem to be stuck in limbo, after successfully attacking an enemy territory. I'm getting the "Turning back from target [omitted] -Completed-" message, and the page attempting to reload, but that's as far as it goes. The attacking units haven't returned, captured resources aren't credited to the attacking territory, and any page that shows the messages is now bugged (attempting to reload the page continuously, it seems).

Help!

EDIT: by the way, I don't think I received the attack report (though I might have accidentally deleted it); also, I don't believe wreckage was left in the attacking territory, even though the defending units disappeared (I don't think anyone had the time to collect it, between the time the attack took place, and I went to check on it; and it's an inactive player, so they weren't moved either).

You don't need to force the computer program to make any move whatsoever - like he said, you just need to start the chess program, take the position of the other player on your phone app (that is, you copy the other player's moves to the app), let the computer make its move, then copy the move the computer made to the site.

In case you want to cheat mid-game, however, then you do have to use a chess program that lets you configure the starting positions - but that's about it, and shouldn't be too hard to find, I think.

Oh, sorry about that - FrueGreads forgot to change that yesterday, it seems. He will do it when he gets back online.

Yep, brianlee01 is right, this should be posted in the Main Thread - unless there is something wrong with those bets you would like to discuss? If so, please let us know.

Hey, everyone. The winner of today's challenge is... MonsterV, with a parlay won at the odds of 9.81. Congrats on another daily challenge won, MonsterV.

(please PM your playing wallet account directly to Michelle (DirectDice) who will personally fund it with the prize amount)

For the next challenge, the winner will be the participant who has the most bets (or parlays) won in sequence, as shown in the list of bets for each individual participant; however, only bets won at odds greater than 1.2 will count (bets won at odds below or equal to 1.2 will simply be ignored; they won't reset a sequence).

Good luck!

Hmm, I recently tried withdrawing a small amount from the game, and got paid three times (well, four, but one of the transactions is unlikely to confirm).

Where should I send the extra coins? (they came from different addresses)

Second entry? It will be added to the Leaderboard as soon as possible, gorkem.

Good luck with your bets!

Sorry, rahmawati6718, but you need to register first, before you can enter the competition.

To do so, go to the Registration Thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1248467.0), post your username, the address you will be using during the competition, your starting bankroll, and ... done - you will be entered into this round of the Tipster Competition shortly thereafter.


EDIT: you too, hkla241.

Hi, simonloff. Thanks for joining us.

Good luck!
