[ANN] MinerFarm - Virtual Mining Game for Real Bitcoin

[ElscottHavoc]

I see.  Didn't catch the tongue in cheeks.

I know there are fees and minimum hasrates associated with opening a pool, but I feel like well eventually reach a point where I can see a situation where each month a new user opens a pool with zero fees as a marketing move to generate users, but the second another user does the same that marketing move is useless.

As it is, for whatever reason it may be, I feel like well eventually have an overwhelming number of pools at zero fees, whether the owners are doing so for shits and giggles or with the hopes of generating a user base, that eventually the only individuals who will run them are those willing to pay .05 BTC as a donation to the site without offsetting returns from their pool.

I mean, if there's even one member out there willing to spend .05 BTC a month just to have a pool in the site without fees, it effectively ruins the game for everyone else.

I think it would be a good idea to sell some cheeper miners.  Maybe even .001 bitcoin a piece.  It would make the non depositors fell like they are making progress and in turn can cause them to deposit more bitcoins.

I agree.  I think the game could do well with lower cost items to make it more accessible.

In fact, even if it were to occur on a separate server or implementation of the domain, keeping everything as it but scaling down to a smaller proportion thatd more affordable would probably build the community of invested members quicker.

So where an item that costs 1BTC now would be scaled down to .1BTC, but the ROI % could stay the same.  So where a return of a 1BTC item might be .001BTC, the same item would return .0001BTC in the scaled down game.

Members might be more easily able to stomach throwing a couple bucks at the game than a couple hundred.

Perhaps limit users from pool jumping with a minimum stay period?

Oh. Seems you bought the script.

Because look this site: http://hexhash.ml/

It's a mix from Minerfarm and RDPMain.

Minerfarm owner runs ponzi scheme?

why is there no response to this?

This game is just another fancy ponzi scheme. Don't waste your money in it . Just like cryptospot no real mining is involved the money generated is by ads and revenue by the new investors.

game owner is a well known user among the forum and has more than 10 faucets. None of them had any payment issues so far.

That's mean nothing  . xPooky the owner of cryptospot was also a very active user. Later don't say i didn't warn you

Being and active member is not the same as owning many known services. If Minerfarm closes, bunch of faucets owned by aliser also loose reputation. Which is a risk that no one can take.

Everybody knows Alisers and his(or her) projects before. If he wants to build a ponzi, i think he will not choose to make it by the name of Aliser. Open a Newbie account ( like you ), and announce new service.

Every bitcoin project or service has this "trust" problem at first. But in time people see which one is true and which one is wrong for investing or mining. And lots of people knows that you can trust Aliser and his projects.

So before decide "this is scam" or "ponzi" wait for a while. If someone says "he steal my money and go away" then ok. You are right.

Thank you.

Hi there, there was no response because I never thought someone is serious about asking such a question But I guess it is normal since everybody should not have to be into coding world.

All the script, database, back end are coded by me. For the front end, it is an open source and free Bootstrap theme. Anyone who has coded the backend script can use it for free, it is just the skin. But the body is home-made

For instance, if I was so inclined, I could open a pool with zero fees and generate a massive following and monopoly of users.  At this point, it just seems like "here's a list of pools, and everyone joins the cheapest one".

Kind of like RL.

Not really...because in real life there is more to pools than fees, but In the game, comparing pools consists only of fees.  In real life, I have lots of options for mining pools, including some with low, low fees, but I choose one with fees because their features justify it.  In the game, every pool has the same general feature set.

In real life, sure pools can come along and undercut fees, but there's so much more to it than fees in real life.  

Pools in real life can have forums and unique features or generate income in other ways, like advertising.  So a pool in real life might say, we don't have any fees, but then put in ads to subsidize.  Or pools in real life can expand to new coins or mutlicoin scripts.

All I'm suggesting is that if pools in the game are going consist of comparing merely fees, I think to entice more investors into the game, there needs to be a way of controlling users coming and just spending .05BTC to run a pool with zero fees for the hell of it.

It remains to be seen if there is any kind of marketing advantage to running a pool on MinerFarm.  So far I have not seen any additional users to NastyPool in real life, so I assume the advantages are most likely not worth the ongoing fees.  You never know though...  As we march towards lower fees and increased pool competition, I am curious how things will pan out.

NastyPool is once again the lowest fee pool in MinerFarm.

I hope you are all  right  i can only wish you good luck with your game and you all make some money  .
Personally i think I'll pass this one

You are a newbie member and try to judge a well known member, aliser.  I will not judge you but I only think it is strange.

Cool  My technician is the best on MinerFarm!

I'm still so confused by this! Someone should do a Youtube video or a proper FAQ

I have absolutely zero relationship the Miner Farm website other than a member, but I have a pretty good concept of how it works and am a Bitcoin Altcoin miner with a small Gridseed farm in real life.  That said, I'll try and do a proper FAQ on their official forum...at least as best I can from what I know.

It's not that hard to figure out, as long as you know the basics of bitcoin mining, lol. If you don't understand the basics of bitcoin mining, you shouldn't even be playing virtual mining games.

[bigjuk]

Why i need by or rent technicians if every day i pay for mainteance? i think we pay twice for same service.
Technicians are responsible for optimum operation of devices. They repair broken devices and increase their productivity. Each technician decreases the repairing time by 50%. For maintenance and repairing of devices, you should hire at least 1 technician.

[mobnepal]

Yes why to pay for technicians you guys should pay them and add that cost in purchase of mining power.
