The Biggest Fish - cooperative gambling game!

[Micon]

I often double or triple click on a fish that I had only planned to attack only once, especially if I have 2 windows open at the same time on a split screen in order to get the cursor live on the other window & end up doing 2 or 3 bites in quick succession when I'd rather do 1 bite then reload my balance to match the other fish if I lost before making a second attempt, it's my fault & I should have learned by now to be more careful as I've done this repeatedly but if there was either a confirmation pop up for each attack or a delay of 10 seconds or something before one could re-attack the same fish then that would solve this, but if it interfered with smooth game play for others then np as I do think now I will not make this same mistake again but expect that others will get caught out by this though. Even some other place to click in order to be in attack mode again (one's own fish, octopus, a base line spot) would stop inadvertent multi-bites, or a choice of single shot/bite versus repeater/automatic mode would be ideal as a setting for one's fish so one would need to click somewhere (anywhere) other than the fish just attacked before re-attacking it when in single bite mode.

I loaded up a bunch of windows / loaded a fish I think to bite you Otoh and it 3x-bit

that being said I am still a huge supporter of Biggest Fish and think it's awesome.  I'm sure the "multi-bite" issue will be fixed quickly.

I gave a promise to provide support service for this game, but unlike u I think it's developed in a wrong way. The initial idea was very simple - fish bites each other. But the developer changed his mind and now is developing a lot of extra (useless from my point of view) content. Bargheimer is working on player-ran shops atm but I'm afraid only a few bitcoiners will be interested in such content.
He has an idea to add a lottery, slot machines and similar stuff. A key feature will be ability for players to become shareholders, so anyone can be an owner of their own casino. I think this idea worth to be implemented as a standalone game/service. If some of u helped me to convince Bargheimer to suspend developing of TBF and switch to implementation of the idea, it would be great. I'm looking forward to become a shareholder of a casino.

I'm often finding my fishes with a negative balance, usually like one has now of -1.601 btc so I just don't feed those, but I see now I have another with a whooping -8.632 balance so there is some glitch going on here, I haven't tried refreshing but will in a few hours when I have to reboot anyway.

Edit: yep agree, best to get the game working as best as possible first before rolling out a bunch of add ons & embellishments that there doesn't seem to be the potential demand for as yet, a simple game where 99% is returned to the players is the way to go imo & then when there's lots of interest add a few new features but anything that dilutes the 99% I can't see working atm, best to get a better history up so that ppl can see just who it was that bit them & take revenge if they choose.

Edit 2: a Micon fish has a tasty 8+ btc on it atm
but it's siesta time for me now (& digesting Cosby time too)

Edit 3: I do quite like the free letters & will be interested to see what happens when they can be exchanged or traded & the jackpot of unclaimed allie bonuses seems like a good idea to encourage more bitey behaviours.

It's a known unfixable bug. When u switch to other tabs a browser makes invisible webpages to sleep. When u switch back u get a lot of doubled responses from the server. Reloading fixes the issue.

Yes. Withdraw all coins, create a new fish with correct url, deposit coins. It's the only way.

How about picking another developer? I can work for you

Too late. I gave a promise, so I ought to support the game anyway.

Usually when you do a bet on satoshidice, you have to type, then click submit,
then click sumbit for fee. Like three steps.

Yes, it would be almost impossible for someone to accidentally make a bet on SatoshiDice wouldn't it...

What! Um, Either I am super lucky, or I don't know what.

I was going to cash out my remaining balance to Canadian bitcoin exchange.
I copied and paste in the address pressing ctrl+c and so on the site.
And I rushed to clicking sent, and submit.

But I realized that in my paste history, it had 50% Satoshidice,
OMFG?! Is this the second time I messed up? It appears
the ctrl+c function failed, or I didn't click it properly.
It happened in the past, only a few times though in the following year.
Perhaps a glitch, error, i don't know what.

Lesson learned, don't make bitcoin transactions when its 4 am in the morning,
and your 1/2 asleep.

But Ironically. I won.
And now I have 46 BTC, + have bought the graphic card of 7970.

rofl, SD should require photo ID and a notarized intent-to-bet form mailed in.

keyword *almost impossible


Still happy it occurred  
And BTC went up, it seems I have even more $$$.

You should read my entire story of how 3.5 BTC became 46 BTC.

[lightlord]

yes that means my 58 Bitcoins finally arrived.
yes I payed someone 26.5 Bitcoins for a 7970

I had remaining 31.5 BTC. Yes I did spent 9 BTC
on a bet on satoshidice, dropping to 23 BTC and losing.
It was on 85% and for fun. I opened up my book address,
and double clicked an address.

What ever would be the outcome I would cash out the remaining balance.
Yes I loss, and then I opened up the Canadian exchange.
Then I clicked the deposit address on the site, and clicked ctrl+c
at least I thought I did.

And yes I then clicked ctrl+v, and yes I didn't carefully read over the address.
Yes this was incredibly stupid. Lesson learned, always double checked.
And don't do this 4am in the morning.

And yes, somehow I am incredibly happy to be doing bitcoin transactions
in my sleep, as the error really did pay off.

And yes I am over all amazed.


I should have 3.5 BTC, because the 28 I bought was to cover the 7970 (26.5 BTC)
But some how I have 46 BTC, because of multiple reasons. If your wondering
why I bought 28, even though the gpu costed 26.5. I decided to want a balance
of 5 BTC or so to play with far into the future.

1) During the buying process of the 7970, I decided to throw a bet of 0.01 on satoshidice
on a really low odds on the site. And to my amazement I won. I now had 7.9 Bitcoins or so.
I decided my luck wasn't over, and I placed this on 79% taking me to 10 bitcoins nearly.
Now I received my 28 for total of 38 BTC. And yes I got incrediblely lucky again with
a bet on satoshidice. Like above. Now getting to 45 BTC.

2) Now with 45 BTC I decided to place a wager on 79%, but with only 0.45 at least that's what I intended.
But in the end somehow I end up sending 45 BTC. (Human error)

3) Now with a win again. I am up to 55 BTC. Okay now I bought the 7970 and I now have 31.5 BTC.
I decided to make a spin of 85% with 9 BTC. (No matter the outcome, I would cash out the remaining)

4) Now I have 23 BTC. I then ctrl+c and ctrl +v and I click sumbit, to candian exchange.
But it happen to be the 50% bet. That getting on my clip board, and not copying and pasting
properly, I don't know. I suspect it was a 0.01 BTC I made bet on it as a test for unknown etc some time earlier.
And that had to of remained on my clip board. Though I wasn't thinking of this at the time, Completely not.

5) Now I have 46 BTC.


And that's how I end up going from 3.5 BTC that I should have to having acquired 46 BTC.

I am lucky and yes I admit stupid to somehow mange that.
Idiots ultimately get rewarded in the end it seems it

Well that went well all I can say  

I went to buy a card 7970(26.5), I bought 28 BTC.
So my balance should of been 1.5+3=4.5 BTC.
But I have 46 BTC. So I made 46-4.5=41.5 BTC

12.80X41.5=$531.2

I made $531.2 xD

Long story short: u robbed SD investors

The delays can be a bit frustrating here.  This transaction has 3 confirms.

Yet no visible fish.

Now it's 16 confirmations.  Something's broken.

We use Blockchain.Info API to accept payments. Their service receives coins and resends to our address. Sometimes the service hangs, this has happened in your case. Sorry, but the only thing I can do is report your issue to Blockchain.Info support. Also I can send you your deposit to the withdrawal address, PM me, please, if you don't wish to wait when Blockchain.Info pushes your funds.

[lightlord]

I don't know, but somehow I have purchased a 5970 and a 7970,
another card now. And I have 54 BTC xD

[darkmule]

Whatever it was seems fixed now.  I have experienced such delays in the past, too.  If it's a blockchain issue, their API needs to be updated.

The same issue as previous one - Blockchain.Info didn't resend the coins. I believe this will be fixed after Blockchain.Info support kicks their server, but  these delays annoy me. If u need ur funds urgently PM me plz and I'll send them to ur withdrawal address.

@ All:
I think we'll move from Merchant API to good ole bitcoind.exe JSON-RPC calls...

[Come-from-Beyond]

The game will be shut down. Bargheimer had been going to change the gameplay (players were supposed to catch fish, then let it fight to select the best one, then take part in tournaments against other players and make bets) but I convinced him that bitcoiners are not appropriate audience for such kind of games.

U can continue to play the game for a while if u wish. When I need my server back I'll stop the game and will transfer the funds to supplied addresses.
