An upgrade of https://www.satoshirat.com/ Grin

I registered and stuck on initializing state.

From online to real mice and i love the idea but how players can ensure that all mice are on the same condition?

We were offline at the time, we'll be implementing custom messages so people can clearly see when we're offline. The plan is to be operating 24/7 (or close to) once we do a full launch. But we'll be needing more mice for that so that we can allow adequate resting time.

Could you please elaborate on the "same condition" point? We have no gain from making any of the mice win, since they're all randomly placed into each lane and the betting isn't closed before they are in the starting gate, so people can see them before the race starts.

This is one of those ideas where you say "It's crazy enough it just might work". I had a similar idea before using rats. It was just an idea and never developed. I will admit it is cool to see that someone has done it. The biggest drawback for me is the perceived animal abuse. You will have to make the mice retire in comfort, and treat them well. I would expand on that on your site.

Also, name the mice. Give each one a profile. Make players have favorites. Also, give options for the players to give the mice treats (for btc).

Best of luck on this.

It has been incredibly fun, and also interesting working on this project. I've learned a lot from it, especially just from watching the behavior of the animals. We're actually using gerbils at the moment since they are friendly, active and easy to handle. (We've tried a few different animals, ranging from "Dwarf Hamsters" to "African Dormice"). I am a big animal lover and I do understand that some people may perceive some form of animal abuse, but I honestly don't consider it any different to traditional horse racing or dog racing. Our priority is making sure that any animals that we keep are looked after.

As for the profiles and identifying each one, that is something we have planned for the future. Currently all the mice are randomly placed into each lane, so the betting is random. You're basically choosing a lane and hoping that the mouse on that lane wins (or comes runner up so you get the money back). If we were to identify each one, the strong performers would constantly be winning and would therefore require us to implement specific odds for each race, for which we currently wouldn't have enough data for.

Whoa whoa whoa... Real mice racing, seriously? Lololol. Kk, I would like to see the stats of each mice in how fast each of them are in straights and how fast they accelerate outside the turns. Some info on their aerodynamics would be a plus. Cheesy

And I suggest you guys expand to real goliath beetle fighting.
