BMJ: Mining Simulator (pre-pre alpha)

[Allphonic]

Funny game!
In the game I bought a computer, but it says "cluster 3 - nothing here", even if the table is filled with the computer information.
I can't sell or buy new computers...

Bug: For the news notification when it says '25% of all Bitcoins have been mined', clicking on 'Next' or 'ok' or whatever doesn't work. I can click the button but the page doesn't go away and nothing happens. Refreshing fixes it. It's on 2/28/2011.

I can't do anything in the game now :/ refreshing sends me back to my latest save which is before the broken page comes up.

Bleh. I see the issue. I'll have it fixed when 0004 is out. Sorry about that.

.... o.O I can reproduce that, but as far as I can tell, it's caused by magic. This one has me stumped.

ETA: Uggggh! Found it. It was hiding somewhere I didn't expect. That page is a freaking mess. The good news is if you save the game, it'll work normally when I push 0004. ~A couple days out on that, still.

Thank you, both, for reports. Sorry again.

[Kluge]

....... and thanks to the Professor for pointing out you can't sell BTC. Jeez. I'll put out the version I'm working on now. Gimme a sec to make sure I didn't break the game with the half-finished p2p lending feature.

ETA: "000399a" up.  I fiddled with difficulty and BTC price calculations a lot without testing, yet.

I got the update, but I still can't get passed that 25% of bitcoins mined message :/

 I seriously believe you are starting to hate me ahahha , I am more like admirer rather than critique , the only reason I am sharing these info because I want you to be aware of them , not because 'fix it so I can play' reasons

[Professor James Moriarty]

 I have past august 10/2010 but still no gpu function opened up  actually I am on 22nd september 2010 and still no gpu. Just pointing out.

edit : alright it opened

Hm. Try pressing shift-f5 while on the page. Maybe it isn't updating. I don't see what could be causing an issue, anymore.

Lol, no. It's really helpful. I'm just disappointed I'm not catching some of things things and'm a bit moody sometimes. Give me 4-21 days and I'll be overly-enthusiastic again. Thanks.

[Professor James Moriarty]

 Thats sounds like pms , I hope you don't get pms (meaning I hope you are a man) , otherwise my miner in game might go ' hey hashing hashing all the time when will we do something different I would like to go see that movie and want to go to my moms , also give me your credit card I will buy some chocolate'

It's definitely updated. I see the new loading screen and the bottom of the main page says '000399a testing'. I'll keep trying things.

ETA2: Fwiw, I'll be away until Monday.

Ahhhh.... damn. I was able to recreate it.... I actually see the problem, now. One of the conditions for the button-clicking to work is for the year to be "11" instead of "2011." I'll get a new version up in ~10 minutes. Thanks for report (& sorry about that).

ETA: New version stealth-uploaded. Should be fixed, now.

[busterroni]

Works now, thanks a ton Kluge looks great so far

Bug report:

Date is 4/20/2011 6:00 on 4x speed. I get the message: "Bad news! A fire's broken out in your office! Roll the Dice of Fate to survey the damage." I click on the dice and it says "Whew! Looks like it was a false alarm. Nothing's been damaged." I click "OK" and get sent back to the "Bad news! A fire's broken out in your office! Roll the Dice of Fate to survey the damage." page. This is going on in a loop.

Thanks for report. I probably broke the variable which logs if the event fired. I'll fix it tomorrow ~when I wake up. Should (finally) have 0004 up tomorrow or the next day. Fwiw, without looking at the actual cause, there's a small chance you might not run into that if you load your most recent saved game and run it on the Main page if you run into it on the Stats page, or Stats if you ran into the bug on the Main page.

Alright, thanks, I'll try that.

Can you add in like a x10 and x100 speed option into the new update? It's kinda boring just leaving it running in the background and going to it every minute to click ok after my weekly reports :p

Yeah, maybe just a 20x. It'll be boring regardless, though.

Maybe as a future update you could add a simulator like 'skip to xx/xx/20xx' (date) and it simulates what would have happened.

Fire bug fixed. On the Main page, I deleted the check to ensure the Fire event didn't loop because .

20x speed can be enabled by double-clicking the box showing date and time.

I keep changing my mind on how to actually implement p2p lending. Right now, it's a separate screen where 3 loans are listed at once. They rotate each week, procedurally generated. I'm thinking instead, to keep things looking cleaner and without breaking flow so harshly, it'll instead open up a box on the Main or Stats page where there's just one loan listed, refreshing each day. They aren't "pure" loans - so they may request BTC and/or USD, and may pay out USD and/or BTC. Someone could request a BTC loan and pay out USD at an exchange rate locked in at the time you accept the loan, and within certain dates, where the BTC price is trending downward, that may be a great deal since you'll probably get a higher interest rate for performing a currency conversion, too. Haven't worked out the exact formulas, yet.

I'd imagine a purchasable tool person to help you determine the level of risk would be nice, too. Maybe a user unlocks the ability to purchase it after having a person default. Later, when the save/load system is revamped, a user will be able to save these unlocks to carry over to a new game - so they'll all be like this, offering extra data, but not really tangible benefits. I've thought about using some of the more colorful pictures of community members posted on this forum, and this picture would go along with a procedurally generated backstory on the loan, but am not sure if I'd like the bother of asking everyone for permission... I could "pirate" their likeness, I guess... dunno.

There'll be an addition of a casino either with or shortly after 0005. Super-easy to implement and'll give you something to do, but, of course, you can only use BTC in them. At character creation at a later update, maybe it would be worthwhile to have countries of residency which is maybe switchable later... if you start in a country with harsh gambling & "AML" laws, maybe you expose yourself to risk playing at the casino or taking part in p2p lending, and maybe you can unlock & purchase services like coin mixing to help mitigate those risks -- and in exchange for those risks, you get less slippage on exchanges or more opportunities... I couldn't possibly include every country, though, so maybe too "offensive."
