I have started writing a 100% automated version 2.0 of this game. I would like to get some input on a few changes I'd like to make.
  • Eliminate the 8 hours between trades which allows a more realistic capital management/preservation
  • Trade as often as you'd like. No manual updates means it no longer matters if there are hundreds of trades per week, but with a .1% "spread" fee per trade. This slows excessive trigger happiness.
  • It will be a stand alone site with score sheet, a near real time price (about 10 second updates), and trading right from the page with immediate calculations and additions.
  • New player would be able to see their name on the scoreboard within minutes if not immediately

This also eliminates the possibility of "cheating" caused by the removal of posted trades between updates.

No cookies and no emails needed, but that also means no PW retrieval. So don't forget it!!

Tell me what you think

We need a restart

Nice to see I'm doing this good in forgotten game Wink

We need some site where trades can be automated, these late updates are killing all the interest for the game. Maybe if we gather some donations for the software someone can write quick PHP script to enter trades and display the leaderboard?

This is a good idea, and I'd be willing to write something up when I have some time over the next week or two.

I completely forgot about this game.

Nice to see I have a 139.78% virtual ROI, but I'm in the position 35, so there is little hope for me.

When will the next one start?

Maybe you should make a shorter one, lasting 3 months, so people won't lose interest midway and less chance of the game be abandoned

I think interest was lost due to very long, sideways movement (or lack thereof). When there is no trend, there is a lull in trading and volumes drop, just like the real market. Wink


Lots of people got low ROI then just abandoned the game.


The OP's disappearance was another factor that made people lose interest in this game

Which is why the game is interesting. Because that's pretty close to reality!
And it's better to have lost everything or close to in a free game than in real trading.

Well, sure... When losing, you lose ambition, and dnaleor leaving wasn't that big of a deal since miz4r took over anyway. Lack of updates on the other hand... would be as big a deal as indecisive markets.

SELL @ 688.49.

I am updating right now and your last trade before this one was a SELL @ 379.35 sadly, so I have to skip this one. Sad

That would explain why I expected to be top 5, and am instead in 40th :-P

Great job to all, especially Rynin, Wary, Lithium.

Looking forward to the reboot!

Leaderboard fully updated! The scores look wicked right now, only 1 USD hodler in the top 10. Tongue



Dont know how I slipped so much? do you have me down last trade as a BUY?

Let's see these were your trades since the last update:

SELL @ 278.24
BUY @ 280.17
SELL @ 283.96
BUY @ 303.79
SELL @ 324.18 (profit)
BUY @ 323.72
SELL @ 375.29 (profit)
BUY @ 448.7
SELL @ 377.31 (loss, this must be the culprit)
BUY @ 381.31
HODL

You missed out on some uptick in the beginning by selling at 283.96 and buying back at 303.79, and especially the buy at $448.7 after selling at 375.29 made you lose out against a lot of BTC hodlers.

Wasn't the game meant to end in 2015?

I think it is better start another one. I guess most people aren't even around the forum or just forgot about the game
