I've been running a bustabit script for 24+ hours straight. Streaming live on youtube, right now!

In your live stream, you're running "bustabreaker"? I'm pretty sure that was the name of some bustabit bot that actually functioned, but was bundled with some malware and then in a big session mass hacked everyone who used it

Looks more like he's trying to give the appearance of some kind of analytics....I don't see anything special about what his script is doing

There is no faucet in bustabit. It was removed after people were abusing it (I think), so you can't get free bits anymore. Also, bustabit is not a downloadable game and probably wouldn't work if you downloaded the HTML, so you probably downloaded a fake application. Run an antivirus, and change all your passwords that were on your computer as it's malware that likely tries to steal your bitcoins.

If you want to test the game, try dev.bustabit.com

It's a newer version of the game still in development, but the concept is the same and there is a testnet faucet.

It looks like fee of withdraw has been increasing (from 300 bits to 400 bits) few days ago. I understand, that this is due to rising BTC and fees in general, but when I did withdraw while ago, I saw on the blockexplorer, that fee amount was lower than 400 bits. Why's that ? I really don't suppose, that Ryan use fees (partially) for profit, so there would be some another reason, correct ?

In any case, here's my suggestion, which shouldn't affect Bustabit code too much (it could be just few changing lines in the code, I assume) and would help small players, they aren't in hurry too much. I mean something like "dynamic fees", and choice possibility by each player himself. E.g. something like table select :

* 100 bits (means: Yeah, I'm happy with long or very long wait until my withdrawal transcation is completed, it's really fine).

* 250-300 bits (means: Maybe I'll be in luck and it will be fast, but I'm ready to wait long [or very long]. )

* 400-500 bits (means: I suppose my transaction would be fast, or at least not-so-slow).

* 750+ bits (means: I need my (busta)bits NOW ! ).

Or just to make some field with numeric value range, e.g 100-1000 (bits), and let enable to each player to choose the fee (of his withdrawal transaction) dynamically by him.


So, what do you mean about it, Ryan (or people here in discuss forum) ? Last, but not least - thanks Ryan for all your support and development of Bustabit game, I'm pretty sure we all highly appreciate it!

This issue has been addressed many times over...the fees are dynamic due to the current state of the blockchain. A flat fee across every transaction would be terrible for everyone involved...

great game! i like it

There has been in the past, some withdrawals that had 0.05 - 0.1 BTC of mining fee on them, as it needed to source a lot of inputs. As you can imagine, it would obviously be extremely unfair to pass this cost onto customers (as this is something users have no control of). So if the mining fee is less than the flat fee we charge, than I don't think that's too unreasonable either. The 400 bits you pay is the fee to withdraw, rather than the exact amount we put on a transaction itself (who's byte-size can widely vary).

On a side note: the mining fees you see on the block-explorer don't actually reflect our true costs (which are actually higher than 400 bits per withdrawal). For instance, you'll probably notice that your withdrawal only sourced a single input -- and has 1 change output.

One of the big reasons we do that is to help with your privacy in withdrawals, but as we get a lot more deposits than withdrawals (2-3x) it also means that over-time we accumulate a lot of unspent transactions outputs (to the tune of ~500 a day) which we need to clean up during off peak times.

In any case, here's my suggestion, which shouldn't affect Bustabit code too much (it could be just few changing lines in the code, I assume) and would help small players, they aren't in hurry too much.

It's a good idea. Actually the new version of bustabit which should be ready in a couple of months (you can try an early preview: dev.bustabit.com) has a great withdrawal system that accurately models our costs exactly, and makes some heavy optimizations (patched bitcoind coin selection, batching withdrawals) that allows us to give the best rates for customers. There will be a significant discount offered to customers who don't need their withdrawals immediately (as we'll batch it inside the transaction of the next person who needs it immediately).

For reference: based on current market conditions, a non-instant withdrawal in bustabit v2 will only cost about ~100 bits right now. I expect this will make a lot of users happy, I just need to hurry up and finish it off =)

which has been met with a great reception:

great game

i got bit from here, 500k ++, i like this games keep up the good work ryan...

I love the initial version the best. When it was moneypot instead of bustabit.  I do believe that its me when trying to play the old way. It "Skips" numbers. For example it will go from 1.0 to 1.1, 1.15, 1.2., 1.3 ect. I never actually see it counting. What is weird though is I have 20mb+ internet. You would think it would be ok, but its not. None whatsoever

The initial version is available here: https://www.bustabit.com/play-old   does that work better for you?

Thats the one I was saying "Skips". I know they are nothing you can do, and more than likely, its all my fault. Not intentionally, but internet wise I guess. I just did a speed test while I had it pulled up. Over 22mbs. What would cause it to skip like that? It never counts. I see numbers like 1.1, next number I see is 1.23, ect. no counting. Just skipping..lol.

That has nothing to do with your internet speed. You moving tiny bits of information it doesn't matter if your line is 50kb/s or 50mb/s .
As long as the line has enough bandwidth its fine. Bandwidth only effects speed if its very very low like I'm talking 55k modem low.

What you talking about is the ping. Thst determains the speed it takes to signal the server and get the signal back again. Hence the word ping. Unless you having some other sort of issue I can't see a good reason why this should be happening to you.

Will bustabit ever offer investment options ? Or does it not need the extra bank roll ?

It was, I guess he took it down.

It doesn't really need the extra bankroll, as we restrict bets pretty heavily right now (max bet size is 1 BTC). But the next release (due in a month or three) is adding a "join the bankroll" feature and going to (hopefully) support much bigger and exciting bets =)

That was a copy pasting problem and I lost the money. After copy and while I paste the last digits changed and I didn't recognized. I use Coinbase, Do you know any way for refunds?

All transactions are permanent. And you didn't send them to bustabit so he can't refund it either. I think it's just gone
