Topic: Farm satoshi is a scam? (Read 12275 times)

watching...

The only good point is that nobody invested money on it... But i never trusted them. Ban users for nothing when they reached on high levels. These games without trusted owners are just waste of time. Who wants to be legit and honest post his project here on Bitcointalk forum, the biggest community with trusted members reviews.

That was fun for some time (i think the most fun BTC paying game), but unprofitable...

well, its just their way to attract lot of player into their site.
i think that leveling but not into the highest, just near into the highest and always make small withdraw if possible

I know farm satoshi site is down altogether but I am wondering in bitcoin games with a similar style to farm satoshi,  if gamevault  end up bringing out more similar games and I am sure they will...Do you think it would be possible to fly under the radar by not leveling up to highest levels and make smaller withdrawals but just more often...or do you thing the programme itself would pick it up ?

only the big players gets banned because they are making a nice profit

They did this already few months earlier they ban people without real reason. This all occurred when people try to withdraw there balances. So be warned when you put time in there websites.

this is their gameplay to reduce their loss from player that making lot of profit in their site
so, just stop playing on any of their developed sites now onward

I got banned when i have reached the last level they have send me some emails claiming that i have multiple accounts how funny is that just when i reached the last level i got banned scammers

yep happened to me, they accused me of breaking T &Cs and I broke none they banned me from farm satoshi first and would not respond to the many emails I sent them.  I started to write on their farm satoshi forum what they did to me so they removed all  my comments from the forum and banned me from the forum as well and as they own city satoshi and cannon satoshi they blocked me from using these as well without any valid excuse at all I had not even got city satoshi or cannon satoshi to a level of even bothering to make a withdrawal it does not say anywhere under their terms and conditions that we are not allowed to write the truth in what they do to people   They are a scam as they get paid a fair amount for the advertisements on their site I also invested a lot of time into these sites.  You may not invest your own dollars   but as they say TIME IS MONEY and they wasted all of mine

i am also the user who got banned like you, my level was also 24 and i use to withdraw every next day 100,000 bitcoins some like 8 or 9 times i withdrawn last time after i withdrawn it , next day when i start to login and the same answer was replied that my account is suspended . without giving any reasons. when i try to contact their support team, no reply from their side after many try i left the site, as i have been playing for more then 3 months continuously to go till 24 level and at the last i am getting my account banned.

I am with you tell me which way you are going and if you are able to get your account back please give me the hint so that i can also recover my account.

I guess the warning signs were there.  I don't know if what they did was intentional or premeditated but I do believe they should've had a better business plan in place.  I think their problem had more to do with their relationship with Google than their relationship with their patrons.

Here's a good article that explains it:  http://www.stacksofcoin.com/game-vault-studios-innovators-or-idiots/

Ok I tried to withdraw 50k. Nopes didn't happen. Then I tried 1 satoshi didn't happen either. What's the problem? I'm level 12 and I had withdrawn 2 times before for levelling up. Should I still stick around or give up on it?

I had been with farm satoshi for 6 months level 24 could not even get close to winning speed comp to make it level 25.  Up until only yesterday January 15th  was making regular withdrawals between 10000 and 40000 a day without problem.  Whilst doing a 40000 withdrawal yesterday I was logged out and went to log back in and my account was suspended.  I deleted my ad blocker altogether months and months ago when they started warning us our accounts would be suspended.  I do not use bots have never had more than one account.  So those of you who think there account is safe I am sure it wont be for to much longer.  Seems to me they are randomly selecting players who make regular and decent withdrawals.  I had advantage to be able to keep on top of feeding my animals as I am self employed.  Would like to know who on here that is suspended was making regular and decent size withdrawals, as it seems to be my idea of whom they may be suspending.  Anyway one of you suspended people may be able to answer this question for me......I am changing address next week and also will have a new internet service so if I were to sign up under different name, email etc....is it the web address or pc address they use...FUCK THEM been accused of cheating so might as well try cheating them.....Look how many of us they have cheated and banned for a bullshit excuse....and WOW to call us innocent people cheats well guess who will be being added to my Bitcoin websites BLACKLISTED page Farm Satoshi as well as their new venture Cannon Satoshi as I am sure this is the exact same thing that they will end up doing to people on their new site once they have leveled up and making decent sized regular withdrawals.  Check out my web site .......    http://kelpaw.wix.com/freefreefree-bitcoin   If my account has not been reinstated within next 12 hours they will be being added to my BLACKLISTED page as well as I will be making a report to Xapo as well as faucetbox and adding my views on both Farm Satoshi and Canon Satoshi on every single Bitcoin Forum I can find I suggest that everybody else do the same thing.  My username for Farm Satoshi is TheKelstar 12 hrs left now for my account to be reinstated before I go and wreck their so called name.  If everybody that is innocent and has had their account cancelled does the same we may be able to rid such scammers and see their downfall.

Yes agreed my account was suspended today as well as soon as I made a withdrawal BAMM suspended I was on level 24 withdrawing between 10000 and 40000 satoshi a day have emailed twice no reply...I will be adding it to my Bitcoin site UNDER Blacklisted Bitcoin games and faucets and warning people on all Biotcoin forum................ DIRTY DOGS they are. Check out my website http://kelpaw.wix.com/freefreefree-bitcoin      Oh and just read the thing about adblock I removed my adblocker all together because of their warnings and recently have used Farm Satoshi on my new tablet and ads were also there yes had a few reminders at the start but have not had a warning or used adblocker to my knowledge in months now.

im contact the admin too on the site you gave me
but im never got any response from the admin
and my account still breaching the T&C, but im never multiaccount / using bots / spamming / misleading the other players

I did nothing other than contact the support and add my data to the list of suspended accounts kept in the forum of the game.
http://forumsatoshi.com/showthread.php?3248-Account-banned-suspended
BTW the list keeps growing every day. I can't believe that all those players blocked ads systematically. IMO, there must be quite some legit , honest players there, and their situation is not being revised, handled .

It happens that I am frequent participant in the community, I have written a few guides for the game in my blog, and also, I even have a casual proof in my twitter account, with screencaps taken over time (of course, for other reasons than proving that  I show ads in my browser), which show that ads  are being displayed in my browser

and  more...

In my opinion, the situation is far from getting resolved, and it does not help to website reputation.

and so, how you get your account back?
im want to rescue my account, but nothing i can do with this.
maybe you can help me about my farmsatoshi account  , i never use adblock and broke any rules

This is a generalization.

Some of these faucet ( or also hybrid invest ) games are honest and not others (check for faucetbirds thread in BitcoinTalk, to know about example of laters).

In FarmSatoshi the payment is just done via Xapo (FaucetBox not working since last July), and you must ensure that you will register accounts in both Xapo and FarmSatoshi using exactly same email address. An extra issue is that email address can't be changed at FS,so it is quite critical stage to ensure that same email address is used at both sites.

Not a scam. Still the activity sets doubts...
I have withdrawn from there 16 times with no prob. But at 17th attempt suddenly I got account suspended, with no reasonable cause, since my case does not fall into the reason given. I do not block ads.
After 48 hours my account suspension was lifted but I do not know who else has been reinstated.
But other players have been suspended for longer than a week before announce was published, and yet they dont know if they will get account "rescued"

The events at the website are in many cases very surprising... so say it softly ...

i never trust this kind of site

usually some users get paid while others don't

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

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 ...

I really hope it doesn't turn fully scam. I like this game, its interesting and pays more than other faucets.

If cannonsatoshi is from the same company, I would imagine they will be around for a while and paying since they spent so much effort building the whole game.

Really wish they would fix the faucetbox withdrawal.

Good idea, i am gonna stop today as well...

More ban is very suspect, but the admin of farmsatoshi don't his to bitcointalk ? is a good idea invite in this forum for explain all this ban. For now, i stop play, i'm to level 24 and don't like lose all my work

I hope that anyone from ore-mine read a topic like this because they come back in "the real world".
This games ponzi based  make every time the same bad end!

i hate this game. even faucet pays more than farm satoshi. this game sucks but i loved their idea & website.

My wife was playing this faucet and today she tried to withdraw 10 000 satoshi. She got instant locked and can't login after this happens.

As I posted in FarmSatoshi forum, could be several reasons:

Read more at http://forumsatoshi.com/showthread.php?3336-My-account-has-just-been-SUSPENDED-as-I-tried-to-withdraw-500-000-satoshi-to-XAPO-(&p=9482#post9482

By other hand, I encourage you, and I am telling you sincerely, to tell me which Bitcoin faucet allows you to earn 8,000,000 satoshi in  4 months. The faucet that has let me earn the most I think it is TakeBitcoin, a total of around 1,500,000 satoshi during that time.

So, please PM me if you wish so, about  such faucets which may allow to earn 80,000 satoshi a day. I know of a few faucets which allow earning 1000 satoshi/hour, but in practice Iam able to claim no more than 10 times per day. Also, right now bonusbitcoin also provides a nice amount of satoshi (and I have been able to earn around 200K-300K satoshi far), but let's see how long it lasts.
[/quote]

Unfortunartely those are not my numbers. If I was playing farmsatoshi, it was because it promised about 80.000 sato a day, so being the most profitable faucet, but for me that was not the case: I got 2.000.000 satoshi total. That makes 16.000 satoshi a day in four months. I get 60.000 daily from faucetbox, robotcoin is about 1000 per claim every five minutes.

And I'm afraid what is happening is the second option you propose. Why, if not so, would the admin encourage players to defend the reputation of the game against foul play accusations in advance? He knew there were going to be complaints like ours because he knew his "anti bot" software was going cancel big accounts. He was simply preparing the ground for threads like this.

I am not sure what is the intention of admin. The game has always suffered some lack of maintenance. Some issues have been fixed and others ignored (take FaucetBox withdrawal option not working since end of July). Therefore I think this situation is like a tide which is slowly growing and growing till finally it floods everything.

As I posted in FarmSatoshi forum, could be several reasons:

Of course there has been some hybrids of faucet which allowed to invest by upgrade account to "premium" or higher level , and earn more per day, but you see what happened with them, for example the coinbooster io case:

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

The game right now is in a crisis, let's see how it evolves.

This situation appears to have started when the admin posted that message you quoted. I didn't know that. Now it's obvious for me that his intention was to cover the site's reputation while getting rid of high level/large withdrawal accounts.
I'm glad you could withdraw .08 BTC from the site. I got hardly .02 BTC. Having spent so much time (I started five months ago, connecting dayly many times a day) I still think any other faucet (I didn't say faucet game) would have been more profitable.

i m playing Cannonsatoshi like you
and i enjoy it
i hope both of two games will not be scam...

I think @Ecoinland has right. They changed something in the login software and has now a lot of false positive "cheaters"!! I am in the same position as Ecoinland. Played the game a lot of times, has 40 referrals, level 25,  withdraw a lot of bitcoins and suddenly (yesterday) it is over and out: account suspended!

My suggestion is to keep playing (but do not do any withdraw) at FarmSatoshi, at least until all this situation is resolved (hopefully in a positive way), and all turns to be a mistake from a too tight anticheat system (code).

Regarding CannonSatoshi, my only recommendation would be to not invest in purchasig gems, at least till the situation with FarmSatoshi is positively resolved, and also till the game turns more mature, since it has been released just 12 days ago.

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)

No, it is not possible to invest extern BTC into FarmSatoshi.

It is a strategy game were you use your satoshi balance to keep progressing in game, from level 1 to max of level 25. (besides it has a so called 'Speed game' independient minigame, and also a auction minigame, to earn some extra satoshi added to your balance).

Yet, if you invest your time and effort in game day by day, and you earn your satoshi in legit way (no bots, no cheating), then when you can't withdraw the satoshi, and even more, you get suspended account on a withdrawal attempt, how is that called?

I do not want to call it yet scam, I hope it is just a mistake from their anticheat code, but wait and see :|

Well I disagree on that about other faucets games are giving more. So far, before supension, I had withdrawn so far 0.08 BTC from FarmSatoshi. No other faucet that I use matches that. For example in the RobotCoingame I have withdrawn so far around 0.03 BTC.

Tell me a game faucet that with no previous invesment gives you up to 100,000 satoshi a day, and that it pays honestly, and I will play it !

Regarding referrals, they would go from "pending" status to "ok" status once levelling up a few levels, and completing some objectives in the level up including some withdraw of satoshi to their Xapo account.
But yep, many players would stay in "pending" status, after just joining and no playing or just playing little.

As you say let's hope that FarmSatoshi admin acts honestly, like a professional and solves the situation of many accounts (like mine) which are being suspended for just attempting to withdraw their satoshi in legit ways.

- Agreed, the Community Management, and Support is really poor if it does exist at all.

- So far they had payed me always up to yesterday, when I got suspended when attempting a new withdraw. That does not mean that other players may have not had problems to withdraw, including the case you mention.

- I could be even luckier if the website would explain why my account was suspended. So far the admin is in silent road: no explanation.

- that case is another side of the second point, and the explanation could be a bug, or simply that the emails used to register Xapo and FarmSatoshi don't match exactly, so the satoshi are sent to other email address based Xapo account, instead the expected one. If this was the case, the game should allow to replace email address in account profile, but unfortunatelly it doesnt, so I have always recommended to register at Xapo first, and to use exactly same email address with same chars and upper/lower cases as  to register at FarmSatoshi.

I mention Xapo, because despite there is a FaucetBox option to withdraw, it has never worked since months (since last July iirc), and the admin does not remove the option from the interfaze. It is just one more example of the lack of some maintenance that suffers the website.

Really? I actually wanted to stop visiting that website but I already spent so much time on it and currently am at level 14 so I thought  I'll just continue since I already wasted time from it. Also with cannonsatoshi and coinbrawl.

Well, sure that admin can read what is your total earned amount so far in game.

Since no invest is possible, every account which makes "large" amount of satoshis culd be a potential non-profitable (for website) account. So far I had earned and withdrawn 0.08 BTC to Xapo, and with no problem. My balance is/was over 900k satoshi, so when I decided to do my 17th wthdrawal of 500,000 satoshi, then I got suspended.

Am I non-profitable account? Maybe, but right now I cant (yet) think that the FarmSatoshi admin is trying to get rid of accounts like mine doing some decent amount of satoshi.
I want to think, still, that all of this is a mistake, by the code being used to hunt for bot and cheat users, which is finding false positives as mine, and suspending accounts automatically.

I am in the same case as you.

I am a veteran player who joined in June 2015, and when reached to level 25 in august, I started to withdraw to Xapo and with no problems.
With no problems up to yesterday, that as usual I atttended the farm, and I saw my balance was around 950,000 satoshi, so I decided it was a good time to cash out some satoshi to Xapo.
So when I attempted to withdraw 500,000 satoshi I got session teriminated, and shown the message about "account suspended cause breaching ToC".
The total accrued withdrawals done by me from august to now sum 8,000,000 satoshi in 16 withdrawals of 500,000 satoshi, all with no problem up to yesterday.The 17th withdrawal attempt got me suspended.
I have contacted admin in FarmSatoshi forum (via PM, the only way you can contact with), and so far got no response after 24 hours. I wrote a post in the forum of FarmSatoshi, which hasgot no response by admin. Moderator in forum has no competence is this issue, just have perms to moderate forum posts and nothing else.

These are some words by FarmSatoshi webmaster/admin written days earlier, from the game forum:


What if that "tight up anti cheating systems slightly" means that right now that algorythm is throwing too many false positives? Doing an analogy/metaphor: like antivirus SW which detects viruses in their heuristical analysis, which turn to be just a false positive.

The list of players who are getting their account suspended at withdrawl is growing; another level 25 veteran player (with an account ID below 200) has been also suspended. The fact that other few players say that they have been able to withdraw, doesnt change my feeling that something is very screwed in Farmsatoshi "anti cheating systems", that is throwing false positives.

At least my case is a false positive:
- I do not use any bots
- the ads of the website are not blocked by my adblock extension (so the site is in whitelist)
- I complete always the antibot captcha used when buying water in game, and that it helps to stop bot scripts
- I have played around 100-150 of the "Speed game" mini-game
- I have written articles in my website about the game, how to play it, how to make a profit at it
- I coded a little userscript which filters the website chat box messages by user, since there is no way to moderate the messages, so as to ignore spammers and offenders there.

In the end I have used a lot of time in this faucet game, and forum. Why would I use any bot script, or risk to use it, if I have spent so much time on the game? It makes no sense.

If I was a bot user, I wouldnt be spending any time on the website, just let any script run and dedicate my time to other activity. That is what bot users do.

So, up to yesterday I had only positive words about FarmSatoshi, except the fact that the Community/Support Management has been quite poor since months. So up to yesterday, it was the King/Queen of Bitcoin faucet games, IMO.

 But after my suspension, and reading other cases, in my opinion FarmSatoshi admin right now is overwhelmed by many false positives, and so far s/he has taken the silent way.
FarmSatoshi is in crisis, and let's see which is the road that admin takes:
- a honest, professional road; or
- s/he keeps the current silent/coward road; or
- if it turns that website is not paying legit users anymore and becomes just another scam website like many others

This last choice makes little sense taking in count that the same webmaster has released CannonSatoshi 12 days ago.
 Well, there is quite an important difference in CannonSatoshi: it is possible to invest in it, starting by a minimum amount as of 1 million satoshi (0.01 BTC). My recommendation right now is to not invest a satoshi, till all the crisis in FarmSatoshi gets resolved one or other way.

 

I use farmsatoshi also in my sparetime just for fun.
but im not getting any problems from it since the beginning
of my registration. i even withdraw a couple of times in it.
so i cannot say it is really a scam.

It is sad to see most of these great faucet games turn to be scam one by one.

Most likely their aims are good at beginning, but they promise to pay too much satoshis and cant pay that much at the end. Just my thoughts.

You shouldn't invest in the site. I grew my levels from nothing and I'm earning pretty good money right now.

If you don't invest anything in the site you won't lose anything even if the site goes scam. You just lose your spare time that you didn't need anyway.

i see the site more slow now, already for login, but my account is safe for now 

I am from Turkey and I receive 405 not allowed error when I try to login. What does this mean?

I used it many times without problems so I highly doubt that it is a scam. Also it's registered with Xapo Wallet which is one of their payment processors. As far as I know Xapo has strict KYC rules and you need to verify your identity before using it, so IMO Farm satoshi is legit, for now anyway.

This is very strange, i have one question, you use adblock ? Because in the last 2-3 month i see when use adblock, one text "please disable adblock or your account can is suspended, later i have used farmsatoshi only to chrome

Honestly I can't really feel bad for you folks after having bought into such a thing such as that. It is not a legit investment, Merely a ploy to ponzi until it collapses and then they stop paying people out and run with the pot. Its the oldest trick in the book around these parts basically.

I would defintely report them to any lists on the forums that have ponzis that are currently running and maybe attempt to contact the administrator.
The odd time you might get lucky and the guy is working on it.. Sadly I don't think this is the case here though.

move this topic (or ask to a moderator) in the right section: scam accusations.

then … how much you have invested?
you get at least some % of profit or your money back?

I hope you don't lost so much and the next time withdraw before they stop reinvestment selling.

I said scam because I invested a lot of time, months, to reach level 25, and after a couple of withdrawals they closed my account. No investment asked, right, but time is money anyway. Any faucet would have given me much more.

suspicous. It makes me think if I should stop using it as well... 

I have earlier said that i was content with the site, profitable and so on. But this evening my account is suspended (breach of T&C) I have done nothing else than i did the past 6 month!

I'm to level 24 from more month (for 25 i get win speed game but is impossible for me) and received a payment every 2-3 day to xapo without problem. the only problem is withdraw with faucetbox

I called it from the start... I think it's the same people who ran chickencoins and Golden cows... https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scam-chickencoinscom-not-paying-any-more-795224 .... I dunno why it was not

reported to http://www.badbitcoin.org/index.htm yet? How many of these Ponzi's do we need to see, before we believe that these are scams?

Just move on... It's not worth pursuing the truth about these sites... They pop up like mushrooms and dissapear like the mist. 

If I am right then Farmsatoshi had the gamevault logo in the beginning..now there is no logo, just TOS. A new site similar to farmsatoshi was launched recently, cannonsatoshi, under gamevault, no logo now.

They are indeed popular, just search farmsatoshi and a handful of farmsatoshi strategy pops up.

Deleting referrals and not approving it is a wastege of the effort we put in getting these referrals, but deleting the main account altogether without any reason does not make any sense.

1 moderator...I guess the admin is only relying on 25 level members who control the chat.

Time is money.

well this right here means they are cheating? from the first week?

maybe scam is not right word but they not do what they promise

and poor tech support is not same as NO TECH SUPPORT

i mean see their forum. they have 1 moderator who says "I can't delete spam threads because not enough permissions" and that's it
a moderator without even moderator rights. and when someone asks about anything serious he says he doesn't know. and he himself had no contact from game admin for months (or years?)

my situation is this: sometimes they pay me sometimes no. when no, they still say "sent satoshi to your xapo" no error no anything

if they just told me I violated ToS I would've been much happier really!!! at least then I know I can waste my time elsewhere but they play games with me

also, consider this: they have 1000 registrations per day or similar (see their "regisitered" on main page. then see it tomorrow). they are VERY popular. they can delete players left and right and not care

Wow, this is the first time I came across a "Farmsatoshi scam thread". I was one of the first 1000 members of farmsatoshi, used it for a week, then quit because the referrals never got credited to my account. Like the OP mentioned:

1. Poor overall support
2. I did receive my farm earnings without any delay, Xapo only, never tried FaucetBox, do not know the situation now.
3. Yeah, the TOS is based on their own convenience. I had referred some of my friends, no scam, not bot, no VPS, nothing, but still they were not approved.

I do not think farmsatoshi is a scam. First of all, their concept is very much similar to scam sites like goldencow, coinminer etc, but they are not aksing users to invest anything out of their pocket, just the time.

Since this thread has been created, lets wait and see if more complaints pour in. Hope this site does not turn out to be a scam

I want to write about them in my blog had no time to do it but here is my quick summation of farmsatoshi situation

- there is no tech. support (at all)
- sometimes they don't pay out
- you are lucky if you got suspended for breaching ToS, at least IT IS SOMETHING or any kind of error message at all
- other players just receive "yay, withdrawn 10000 satoshi to your XAPO", and get nothing

make of that what you want.

I have no problems with Farmsatoshi, every two-three days i do xapo withdraw 100,000 satoshi. I am on level 25 and visit farmsatoshi two times a day to maintain the farm.

did you receive your payment?
some people says no
what about you?

if not is possible reinvest, how see the non profitable accounts (for them)? i'm at level 22 and have withdraw now with xapo

Same here!
I was on level 12 or so. Did a nice withdrawal and was logged out immediately. Could not login anymore. No response from support

I was on level 25 since about a month. There is no more reinvestment possible, so I started withdrawing all my earnings, about 80000 satoshis a day. On saturday my account was suspended when I was ordering a withdrawal, allegedly for violating t&Cs. Since I'm not aware of any such violation, I mailed them asking for an explanation twice (inmediately and after 2 days again), and got no answer.

So my conclusion is that they are selectively getting rid of non profitable accounts (for them).
