Topic: Farm satoshi is a scam? - page 2. (Read 12275 times)

I believe it's a scam. I tried and tested it for a while but never got my withdraw from there. Shame, it could have been fun concept.

And there is no option to invest, other than you time in it.

Let's review the announcement done by Farmsatoshi admin:
( http://forumsatoshi.com/announcement.php?f=3 )

After reading this, oneself may ask:

- Why did the game staff wait that a user recieves up to 31865 adblock warnings?
- Which has been the ads blocking count threshold to decide which accounts to suspend and which not? Some players claim to have just blocked very few ads in their whole months activity, nevertheless they were suspended.
- This announce does not explain why some of us got suspended, despite we do not block any ads, and why that happened as attempting to withdraw satoshi

So far I do not know of any other case of unlifted suspension other than mine. I have started a thread at game forum, to list who gets unsuspended, and that way keep watching admins work on restoring everything back to before all the situation arised. If anyone reads this and have been resintated please add your info  at next thread:

http://forumsatoshi.com/showthread.php?3389-Accounts-restored-from-suspension-(reinstated-players)

By other hand, there is still the thread to list the suspended players.In case anyone here reads this and is still suspended, add your info there to show admin all the stack of accounts that need some revision:

There is another thread in that forum, where players post about their success withdrawals, which they are happening, though I havent yet attempted a new withdrawal after my suspension lift.
Later I will try and provide news about result.

I thought there was no option in invest?
Last time I played it was like 1 month ago, so they could have changed, but doubt it.

FaucetBox was diabled ( or stopped working) since last July, and admin never cared to enable it again. So you mean that you attempted to withdraw via FaucetBox and the game banned you? Could you provide the exact day that happened? Just to see if it matches with the turmoul of suspensions happened in the last days ...

I agree, when a situation like this arises, it is better to act swift, and giving clear info to the users. I will post in a new post the communication that admin did, and do my review about it.

Regarding investment, game doesnt allow investing, but nevertheless we already invest our most precious good: time

You will have too 2 more warehouse upgrades if reaching to level 25, which will help extending the times to log in and refill warehouses

My wife get banned when she tried to withdraw to XAPO. That doesn't matter so far.

I played farmsatoshi about month and i realize that when you withdraw to faucetbox,you will be banned immediately,only withdraw to Xapo 

I will take a look at it she is more a person who play and I can do the search.

The way this company work is not good for there reputation...bad reputation lead to less investments.

Wow, I thought maximum animal is 10 if you reach level 25 but I can see it's 11.

UPDATE: My account has been restored!

As I posted at FarmSatoshi:


(my nick is earnbucks, in game)

I am with you, fellow farmie!

I joined in June 5th, 2015, and since then I have been a daily diehard player there. I have invested a lot of time, wrote articles about the game  in my blog website, and sudenly puff!!, account suspended and still awaiting a reason. More than 48 hours later, no news from admin.

Indeed, it is a free website, and we dont even have to invest in it.
But IMO, being free doesnt exclude on being honest and professional in a business.

Very bad situation, i have wrote any email to admin for write her his problem. My account now is active, but i don't use first to no see resolved this problem. Ok is a free site, but i have spent more time for up my farm at level 24

Hello fellow farmie,

Exactly, and I wish the same!


Yes it is, both games are released by "Game Vault Studios". I havent done any research regarding that company or whatever it is, but I might do if the situation keeps unresolved. I would think exactly same as you: why release CannonSatoshi 2 weeks ago and then start all this turmoil of legit players account suspension in FarmSatoshi?
It makes no sense!
But, there is one big difference between the two games: FarmSatoshi does not allow any invesment (a "pure" game faucet), but Cannonsatoshi does (so it is kinda "hybrid" faucet game). 
 At current CannonSatoshi game stage, there are mostly investments into game, and players reinvesting all the balance to progress in game.
The 1 million-dollar question is: what will happen when players start earning "big" and attempt to withdraw? The game claims to have 2500 Bitcoin to be "mined" by all players in game ... The question is if I get to earn even 0.01 BTC will I be able to withdraw? One week ago I would say yay for sure. Right now, I am not sure at all.


We'll see peace spreading through whole world before that happens. FaucetBox option stopped since last days of July and I bet it will never be back.

Happy farming! (if you still can do,  my only advice to avoid "insta-suspension" is to not withdraw , till all this situation resolves one or other way)

Heya fellow farmie!

Well, as you already may be aware, the admin is not even explaining all this ban in his OWN forum!

So why would s/he come here to give his/her version, if s/he does not do even in his own forum?

As it has been suggested repeatedly in FarmSatoshi forum, do not withdraw, cause that could lead to "insta-suspension" as it happened to me. Just keep playing ( or not ...), and see how all of this situation evolves.

Many players are awaiting since days for any explanation by admin. In my case, almost 48 hours since suspension. I wrote at forum, and PMed the admin too, and no response so far.

It is all so sad, I am in quite a rollercoaster of emotions and mixed feelings, cause I love the game!

Ummm, the only time I withdrew from ore-mine it worked, but it was a small amount just 150,000 satoshi or so. I have pending an amount of 0.022 BTC to be withdrawn. I might attempt one of these days, so depdnding the result of withdrawal action I might start a thread like this, but for ore-mine ... Or just do some research and revive any thread buried in the forum ...

Anyways there is one big difference between ore-mine and farmSatoshi: ore-mine allows to invest, but FarmSatoshi it doesnt. So FarmSatoshi can't be ponzi, since thereis no way to invest our extern, own funds.
Yet, the new game,CannonSatoshi,  released by same owner, allows to invest, therefore I strongly recommend to not invest a satoshi there.

You cant invest in FarmSatoshi, at least not satoshi, but just time (and I have invested a lot of time in it). You can just reuse your satoshi balance in game to progress from level 1 to level 25. Besides, there is the standalone Speed minigame, and also an auction minigame, to earn extra satoshi,.. but all works using the satoshi balance in game.

So far, I have always considered FarmSatoshi the King/Queen of Bitcoin faucet games, because the entertaiment,  the honesty in paying, despite the poor support service and maintenance, and also cause the "big" earnings.

Of course, after the crisis arose in FarmSatoshi and my account is one of those which are getting banned day by day, my opinion regarding game is varying at "absurd speed" (using the expression from Spaceballs movie).

I love this game (still). But I am not a fanboy, so when things go wrong I have no problem criticizeing it, and nowadays things are very wrong.

If you reach to top level, 25, you may earn around 80K-100K satoshi a day (with dedication, meaning to refill warehouses every 2 or 3 hours).

Using Bitcoin faucet rotators, I have managed to earn more than that in a day, my personal record was over 200,000 satoshi at FaucetBox in a single day, and it happened weeks ago when Bitcoin price was around 250$. After the Bitcoin price bullish raise, and the nerf and passing of so many faucets, the niche is pretty screwed.
But (except maybe bonusbitcoin a few days ago, and in the past, takebitcoin) , not a single faucet has provided me a constant flood of satoshi like FarmSatoshi has done. As said it was just the use of efficient BTC faucet rotators

First of all I am very sorry for that. Your wife did exactly what I did, a withdrawal attempt and got session terminated and account suspended for "breaching the ToC". Yet we are not told which term we "breached" (?).
almost 48 hours after my suspension I keep in the dark about why my acount was suspended.

My only advice is just that your wife adds her info in this thread in the forum of the game, so all the players are fully aware of the magnitude of the crisis in FarmSatoshi:

http://forumsatoshi.com/showthread.php?3248-Account-banned-suspended

Just cross fingers, hope the best and be ready for the worst.

FaucetBox is not a faucet, but a cache of microearnings from a miriad of faucets linked to Faucetbox. Once you reach to your custom set threshold for withdrawal, then the cached satoshi amount is sent to your BTC wallet,
And yes, if you use a proper rotator with the most paying faucets, youcan do 60,000 satoshi daily and even more ... With my custom Bitcoin faucet rotator, before the BTC price went over 300$, I managed to earn 200,000 satoshi in a single day, visiting a bunch of different faucets. Once Bitcoin passed over 300$ and reached even 400$, then the niche of Bitcoin faucets has suffered a lot of changes, nerfs, ...

Regarding RobotCoinGame it does not work that way. When I ended the game (the uniquetime I have) I earned 0.0194 BTC, cause most of earnings were spent to upgrade attack power to level 10.
Here my tweet celebrating it: https://twitter.com/ECoinLand/status/635129082670391296
Later, I reseted, reinvested a bit, and withdrew 0.018 BTC if I recall well. In the next cycle of games I did not reach to area 20, but stopped at area 13 or so, and reseted and withdrew again once reached a balance of 0.01 BTC more or less. Also, now with the nerf in rewards, for sure that it is earned less.


Regarding the payment proof thread, take in count 2 ideas:

1) There are a few "fanboys" who defend the game no matter what. Why? who knows. Or they live in Wonderland, or they are  so eager for attention, or they are happy feeding dramas and taking other side in any controversy...
Nevertheless, to defend the website, they would start such threads, like the payment proof thread. I even posted in that thread, a few days ago, about my last withdrawal (dated in Nov 28th, 2015). It turned that a few days later (almost 48 hours ago) my account got suddenly suspended right after trying a withdrawal.
I am fan of the game but no fanboy. I mean, I try to be less biased as possible and if I find something that is not right about game, I criticize it. But I am not driven by any hate, or need to call for others attention. And if I did not said before, I love a game that I have dedicated so much time!

2) Payment has been a controversy in FarmSatoshi since so many months ago. I could tell some reasons:

a) In the last days of July the choice to withdraw via FaucetBox stopped working or maybe admin disabled it. Some fanboy claimed FaucetBOx was unsecure and not paying, and admin took such alledged claims and decided to disable such option. But if everyone who has been following the Bitcoin scene these past months remember, in the last summer there were a few periods of time when Bitcoin network got flooded by spammy transactions for who knows the reason. The effect of that? Some faucets multitransaction payments weren't verified by Bitcoin network nodes for not paying enough fees, etc. It happened to the webmaster of BitcoinAliens and its other faucets, and also it happened to the owner of FaucetBox. But in the end, FaucetBox payed as promised, delayed, but payed. Unfortunately, FaucetBox option never was enabled again in Farmsatoshi. That pissed off some of the players.
Besides, the FaucetBox option remains in the game as if it was active and working! At least the admin should take a bit of time and just grey out the part of interfaze about the FaucetBox, to make it look like it is disabled.

b) Besides, some players have had many problems getting paid via Xapo, for not being able to get their Xapo account working properly, mostly because Xapo service is not allowed worldwide, since a few countries may be banning it. Therefore, the only choice for such players would the FaucetBox, which isnot working as explained above. Also, there is no choice to change the email address we used to register at Farmsatoshi, and admin would never pay attention to some requests by players who  wishes to change the email address to match exactly the email address used at Xapo ...
All of these some examples of the poor maintenance, and support in FarmSatoshi.

As time passes I am more and more inclined to think that all of this is not just a mistake, but the 2nd option I wrote earlier:
And as you say, he might have been preparing the ground.

Even more, if we unleash the speculation, we could even wonder if the website has been sold in the last few days, and if there is a new webmaster. That would explain this change of behaviour, and all the sudden account suspensions. I have no proof about this of course, just pure speculation.

Anyways, just end repeating here my sad joke I posted in the forum of the game:

Admin has decided to send some of the most buxom pigs to the slaughterhouse, since they were growing too much. It was time to make room in the farm, and place fresh pigs who eat less.

Beware fellow piggies, those who grow too much, shall be also sent to slaughterhouse ...
