[ANN] [FC] Feathercoin Kamikaze - Win up to 24,000 FC!

[Cyberdyne]

Can you please check the games (game hashes) below for me? I won all of the games below but didn't receive my rewards...  all were bet with 1 FC, reached 8th row.

Code:

caad33ce9375b33796c071151b3964988b280da24215ac8f9e5aa0aadf2369e0
e39a6a1446b082a50739063f350a166376794a39986dc55d22ea4712b48e373e
54a66ce356a18fb3344527b30322c88d1711a544689ba5b1bc29fd90d6c1f52f

Actual hashes aren't stored, so I'd have to write a script to go through every single game to calculate hashes and see if any match the above.

Better if I can get your user ID and look for any games that were bet with 1 FC or that reached the 8th row, and then check their hashes.

Please let me know.

My user id is 574, i cant remember exactly is 8th or 9th though.. please do let me know. thanks.

Hi,
Sorry I will have to write up a script in PHP. to check this.. You have so many games and my MYSQL doesn't have Sha256 installed.
Will let you know soon.
Thanks.

Okay, these are the games that match your hashes:

#25617   574   2013-04-28 16:49:52   NULL   1.00000000   0.00000000   2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2   3,3,5,1,3,5,1,5,5   0,0   MBvH8uhp0AS9xoyQc2U6P5Xq4kRwFjWr
#25637   574   2013-04-28 16:52:34   2013-04-28 17:21:05   1.00000000   5.00000000   3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3   1,2,1,5,1,5,1,2,4   0,0   K0UkypTzmdGHl5YwI8JVaS9N2EtPv4bM
#25649   574   2013-04-28 16:53:40   2013-04-28 17:20:50   1.00000000   5.00000000   2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2   3,5,3,3,3,4,1,4,2   0,0   FWEpqaBoIsNM41LmAxYgnzXkJlD7TVeO

That first one shows NULL in the 'completed' field, meaning either you didn't click the "Take" button, or your connection dropped before your request reached the server.

Your transaction history shows you were credited for the other two:

#12283   574   5.00000000   Won game #25649   2013-04-28 17:20:50   1
#12284   574   5.00000000   Won game #25637   2013-04-28 17:21:05   1

So I've now credited you for game 25617 and marked the game as complete.

Are you sure you always clicked the "Take" button, by the way?

Thanks for playing!

[megablue]

thank you very much!

Anyhow, I suggest that you run cron job to check for games with unclaimed rewards after N minutes of inactivity. Perhaps, also automate the reward claim for last row, since it is kind of pointless to have to manually claim reward on the last row since you don't have anymore row to continue.

anyhow, did you read my PM? regarding the offer? I can really help you with that .

Both good suggestions, thanks. I did get your PM thanks, will PM back

I deposited 5.0 FC a couple of hours ago.  It showed up in my balance for a few seconds.  I tried to place a 5.0 FC bet.  It told me I had to make a deposit.  The balance went back to zero.  I never had a chance to play at all.  What happened?

Same issue as described in the OP, and should be temporary.

I really might have to take this game offline temporarily until I find a more reliable feathercoin block explorer.

Please just try again a bit later.

Will you be creating one of these for CHNCoin? I have some coins to loose

Short answer: Probably

Haven't had time for CNC at all yet though, never even touched it yet.

Too bad it was free play, I don't have any Feathercoin.

[Cyberdyne]

I don't have any Feathercoin.

In that case, don't forget to check out the 'Refer' link on the site

I wrote a bot and ran thousands rounds with it.


This is the bombs & jackpots distribution stats i had collected over the thousands of free plays.

Bombs distribution stats

Code:

Jackpot distribution stats

Code:

 [43,49,45,44,51],
 [36,44,34,50,46],
 [54,43,46,48,56],
 [47,46,49,49,35],

 [48,41,56,43,49],
 [54,48,41,49,54],
 [44,54,44,59,42]
]

The total games ran is about 10K. Please note that the stats isn't totally reliable since there were bugs occurred with the bot and got fixed after some iterations.

Some interesting points i noticed either by studying the stats collected or observation during the 10k games,
- there isn't a single jackpot in the first row.
- Each game has about 0.0043 (or 0.43% which is far less than 1/25 stated by the author) of chance hitting the jackpot.
- in order to have better 'luck' of hitting the jackpot, you would need to have at least 250FTC and place only 1FTC bet for each game.
- some box are less likely to hit a bomb than others
- there are some interesting patterns i had observed, that if you play in straight line downward for any starting point, you would have much better chance to hit the bottom. The stats i had collected is about 26% instead of 0.8^9 = 13.4% chance to hit the bottom. However do mind that, even at 26% chance of hitting the bottom, you still play a lossing game over a long session.


This could potentially help you increase your winning odds, however i have to warn you that, it is nothing substantial. I did some math with the stats, over time, you still losses, the house has significant advantages over you.

P/S: If you did won some coins after reading my post, you may tip me some LTC/FTC. Check my signature for addresses.

I wrote a bot and ran thousands rounds with it.

On the one hand I applaud your effort and will read your post again in detail soon.

On the other hand, my poor little site felt like it was a bit of a DOS and made everything very sluggish for a while (including other sites on the same server)... I'll have to further consider the effects of this kind of script going forward.

Also about the jackpot: I had toyed with the idea of not putting it in the first row, even for free games (to be consistent), but ultimately decided against it, however the code that I had done to set it up that way somehow made it into a release. I've removed it now and updated the site again. Feel free to run another 10k games to confirm this. I'll double-check this behaviour on the litecoin version too.

Thanks!

Any fee/minimum for withdraw?

Any fee/minimum for withdraw?

No, and in fact some people have withdrawn some ridiculously small amounts, costing me 0.1 FC.

However I write it up as a business expense.

Hopefully the next release of the client will have lower fees, if it's following Litecoin's development.

I deposited 10FTC earlier and it didn't show up right away, so I waited a bit and ended up checking my deposit address and it had changed wondering if this is why I have not receive credit to play..

Hi, you are looking at 2 different accounts.  Depositing in one, and then looking for your balance in a new totally different account:

User ID 1770   -> 6fL8P1pW2VLzC9zDA4d1E3VqxXnUCqfciP   2013-05-30 21:44:09 (when the address was first allocated to the user ID)
User ID 1771   -> 6fLFLkEXwjNjV9xxxbnmhmPuMd4Q7i9Vc7   2013-05-30 22:08:36

If you check the balance of the 1770 account, you'll see your deposit (after at least 1 confirmation).

[Cyberdyne]

Temporarily out of feathercoins!

You can still play, but withdrawals will have a bit more delay at the moment - I've purchased a bunch of FTC on BTC-e.com but am having issues with their withdrawal confirmation email.

Hey so I know your out of FTC and that the block chain went down, but my account still says I'm in the negative.  It's been three days and I'm starting to get a little worried.

Don't be worried. I'll just send you back your deposit, what's your address (and kamikaze user ID)? (You can PM me if you like).

If the blockexplorer isn't coming back, I'll have to take the site down for now since I don't have time to rewrite these to not rely on the blockexplorer.

Can you sent back my deposit too? I sent you all data, but You still doesn't answer me.
