Read through ECoinLand's posts, and if this is really happening, that would be bad. I was still enjoying their newest game CannonSatoshi, and having heard this, there would be a chance that it would happen to this game as well. Games are way better than faucets and just plainly solving captchas, only with added twist they are more exciting. I found farmsatoshi quite tiring to manage some time ago, and I did not really bother calculating the efficiency of each animal, so I stopped playing it since then.
However, the new game came out, and I find that it requires less management, just dedication, so I use it daily and even now. Hope that everything would be resolved, and hopefully such bitcoin games can still exist normally.
(since its tough to rely on ads and all)
My last withdraw was in Nov the 28th, 2015, with no problem.
This was my 16th withdraw for an accrued total of 0.08 BTC earned with the game. Then at 17th withdrawal, my account was suspended
.
IMO it is/was the best BTC game faucet around, which allows you to earn almost 100,000 satoshi a day, even after the nerf due to Bitcoin price raise in the last weeks. Of course, Farmsatoshi requires constant dedication to earn such amount: it demans to attend warehouse every 2 or 3 hours with most effcient animal plans, which turns out impossible to attend, at least at rest times.
So, if every 24 hours you can get the animals to produce at least 20 hours that is still 20/24 * 100,000 = 80,000 satoshi earned a day.
For a game which doesnt allow any investment, and that it seems to just get income from advertisement ingame, it is just great!
Even you may choose to play a more relaxed animal plan, to attend warehouse every 4 or 6 hours, and earn som less, but have less dedication. There are no predefined plans, just custom animal sets you use and calculate profits using spreadsheet or whatever.
The next image (included in my article about the game, with hints to earn the most profit) is an example of plans to earn satoshi.
Notice that data is from the times before the nerf there was in FarmSatoshi game because Bitcoin price raise, therefore right now it is earned some less:
For example, take plan IV: 2 Bellied Duck, 4 Landrace pig, 5 Katahdin sheep.
It would let you earn 104646 satoshi in 28 hours, that is, 104646 * 24/28 = 89696 satoshi every 24 hours. That is in theory.
But in practice, considering that animals end in different times of the day, that at night you may miss some hours to attend the warehouse, and that the hay/corn warehouses in that plan would last at least 2 hours and a half (more exactly 2.56 hours and 2.66 hours), then if you rest at night 7 hours, that means your production could be stopped during 4 hours and half, therefore:
104646 * 19.5 / 28 = 72878 satoshi earned every 24 hours, with that plan that I name IV in my spreadsheet.
The game is that flexible, that can fit the game to your level of dedication and earn accordingly, that is why it is/was so fantastic.
Though my concern is that as more and more players reach levels 24 and 25 which allow to earn such amounts per day, and the community keeps growing and is reaching almost 90,000 players , I highly doubt the economic model is sustainable :S, at least so admin makes a profit, that in the end is the purpose of the business.
Same as you I hope there is a long life for these kind of faucet games, despite all the issues there has been in game ( a big one: the FaucetBox withdrawal option stopped working after 2 months the game was released).
And now this, a growing amount of players getting suspended account on withdrawal attempt. Watch this thread in ForumSatoshi, the official forum of the game:
