UPDATE

I am working on a video to display how I imagine the new MyBitMine ending and will completely rewrite this threads original post.
Furthermore, we are closing in on launching a crowdfunding opportunity, and users who back the project will receive early access to the beta testing of the new MyBitMine features.

I am having a meeting with my partner one of the next days, and soon after I will release the video of my vision along with a crowdfunding campaign.


Of course - anyone who is Premium Miner when(if) we put the site down with a countdown to the new release, will have their plans continue after the new release.

The reason why I say "if" in paranthesis is, that I am toying with the idea of keeping the old MBM open until the new release, and provide pre-access to the new game for users who back the project. This way, there's no reason for closing down the site and users who enjoy playing will still be able to do so without backing the project. It's still only an idea though.

At this moment I do not have any deadlines. I am still working a lot behind the scenes and have funded a little more than 4 BTC for this upgrade.
There are still some legal aspects I need to take care of for this to become a reality.


One of two things can happen, but you losing everything is not an option. Otherwise I would be rather mean for keeping the game live now lol.
1. Either you will keep all upgrades if they are directly transferable (meaning we keep the same upgrades instead of making new ones),
2. Or you will get resources and Gold from all your upgrades, so that you can afford to purchase the new upgrades instead.

No one will lose anything from keep playing. If anything, you will have a better position in the new launch

Yes the Market has been disabled due to a big flaw in the mechanics.
Users were able to exploit the Market to gain more resources & Gold.

It will be disabled until we launch the new MyBitMine

Exactly this hehe. But I'm watching this thread and trying to respond as fast as possible when I need to take action.
I will have a lot more time starting May when I move to a new town

Hi Weele,
The Market will sadly not be back until the release of the RPG style engine.


It's not a bad solution and I will see about integrating this with the new edition of the game.


Hi I believe that I have handled all withdrawal requests now.
Please private message me if yours has still not been paid.


It will come back but it's too broken to release at this state and will have to be completely redone.

Ah yes this has already been suggested before.
I will keep considering this as an option for the new game. Cannot guarantee that it is possible - will have to check with my captcha provider.

Hmm I haven't seen any videos when implementing the new captcha. Can you take a screenshot if the impossible captcha video?

Update

I have processed the Coinsplit payouts as well as any withdrawal requests.

Contract dividends will now be paid as soon as we reach an income of 0.3 BTC rather than weekly. This way it will better sense instead of sending out small transactions all the time.


I think you will have a better chance of selling your account outside of this thread - most users here already have accounts



EDIT:
I am putting the site into maintenance at around 18:30 UTC.
This will enable a new captcha for regular Miners.


EDIT:
Maintenance is over and I have enabled a new captcha for the site.
Let's see how it goes, I might change to a whole new one after a while.

Hi goku,

Would you kindly ellaborate on this suggestion? I am not entirely sure that I understand.

Update

Okay so I just got a phone call a few minutes ago, and it seems like my laptop is already finished ahead of time.
I will get it back tomorrow and handle all withdrawal requests as well as the Contract dividends.

I will also begin working on the new captcha system, but it might not be released before Thursday - depending on how much time I get on my hands tomorrow.

Yes I do but I would rather not copy it to this rental laptop.
First of all, there's no saying if someone listens in, and secondly there's a slight chance that I forget to remove the wallet after handing the laptop in.

When I got the laptop, it was already logged into a previous user e-mail and Skype account, so I'd better not take any chances with your funds.

Hi Malboro,

All withdrawals will be handled as soon as I receive back my laptop.
The same goes for the Contract dividends. Those will also be for 2 weeks when I get back my laptop.

I apologize for the long delay between my replies this time, but my laptop is undergoing repairs.
It took longer than expected and I now have a replacement laptop for the next week or so, but I am finally able to reply to everything.

In regards to the 500 error:
Next week when I get my laptop back, I will add a new captcha for normal miners.
It took quite a while to get verified, but I finally have access to the new captcha system.

We will see how it goes, but for now it is only temporary.



Hi Malboro99,
The Resource Market is currently disabled due to a big flaw in the mechanics.
It will be re-enabled when we have the MyBitMine game ready.


As I mentioned, I have another captcha in mind that I finally got approved for.
Will be able to change this as soon as possible next week.


Yes your upgrade will immediately be put into action.


Your deposit should be credited now. We use the Blockchain.info API to process deposits, and sometimes it is rather slow at processing things.

Ideas & suggestions are always welcome and I read all of the messages carefully

First of all, I am happy that you enjoy the game and find some positive angles.
A lot is happening behind the scenes right now, and we are working on implementing a kind of RPG feel to the game, where you walk around the map, enter your mine etc. For this we will need to have someone work on the graphics, but there are a ton of other things we need to do first.

I am aware of the captcha issue and will implement a new one first thing next week. My laptop is undergoing repairs and it contains my work environment.

This is a recurring issue on MBM and I am aware of this. Sadly, I have been unable to reproduce this error myself and have no real measure of how I can go about fixing this.

And I am unable to give you a refund on this purchase. There's no logging if users got paid or not (since it seem to be happening at random), and for that reason no way for me to verify if you did in fact get paid or not.

So far I have provided no refund on any of the beta features. The site is still in a testing phase and you can expect bugs like this.

I will go ahead and edit the Sketchy texts to make it clear that there's no guarantee that you will indeed get paid back from your investments.

Hey miners!

I hope you enjoyed your Easter. I spent mine with my family and did not have a lot of time on the internet these past days.
I have just gotten a new job and will have a little less time to spent on managing MBM. However, I am still working hard on getting all the details for the future of MBM down. Tomorrow, I have a network meeting where I can discuss the legal aspects with a lawyer, and I will be getting another appointment with him/her afterwards. First on the agenda is what kind of company will suit this business best when we are 2 people in different countries, and secondly all the legal aspects of Bitcoin in my country.

I looked into the sketchy investments and I am 100% unable to recreate this issue that you guys are seeing. I will let it be up to you to decide:
Do you want me to disable them both until we launch the rpg-like game or keep it as it is where it pays approx 80% of the time?

Also, the contract dividends will be paid out later today when I get back from work. I did not have time for it during Easter and was busy Tuesday as well. I haven't forgotten you though




At the moment this will not be enabled, but it is possible that in the future you can decide which resource to focus your workers on. I cannot guarantee anything yet since we have a lot of other things cooking


Thank you guys for reporting this. I will investigate it when I get back from work.
My initial thought though is that the hosting plan is not sufficient for the ever increasing traffic that MBM receives.

Yes I am aware that there's an issue with the Sketchy investments, which is why they are still in the beta area.
I am working hard on resolving this problem, but so far I have been unable to both reproduce the error and read my way through the script to realize why it's not paying back every deposit.

To me, it seems like this issue is happening randomely, but I am still investigating the problem.

Hmm this doesn't look right. Can you provide the transaction hash?
Also, You forgot screenshot here


It can be one of two things. Either it times out, or you are too eager to click mining. Wait approx. 1-1½ second after completing the captcha before you click mining

Yes I have considered doing so a couple of times now. Will look into a better time period for that sketchy investment

UPDATE

Okay I have possibly fixed the Sketchy investments now. Let me know if any of you is still experiencing problems with payouts, and I'll have another look!

Also, I reduced the St. Bernard Lake limit to 50, it's not supposed to act as your main income option 


Lol Mawo 

Hi Aditya,

I completely missed your post earlier, luckily I was checking a few pages down right now.
I am currently working on a solution for this bug, and it is something that has been known for a while.
So far, there have been no refunds for these issues as there is no way for me to verify whether it is true or not


What is your current stats, can you link me your profile?
