Topic: VirtualMiner 2.0 - Discussion (Closed) - page 9. (Read 15350 times)
At the moment all purchases are done with BTC.. but i plan to implement a shop for rigs and upgrades in VMC that is cheaper than buying in BTC.. that might also boost the price of VMCs a bit.. well, we'll see. This is a somewhat busy week again. Will try to get some code done tonighht though.
I'm slightly confused. When playing the game, purchases are made with VMC, correct?
So, in order to play, you deposit coins, use the exchange, and then buy the virtual items you need?
Also, how much VMC does a virtual miner cost? I can't seem to find that anywhere.
Look forward to playing
Edit: Found the answers to my question. Reading comprehension is a pain.

I never stop to surprise myself. I somewhat managed to comment out the parts of a file that handles buys/sells..
Simple reason: Sleepy mind saw those lines and thought "Oh, thats outdated code. Let me remove it" - and i put it into comments.. Buys and sells work now again.

I can't get anything in the exchange to work
Do the buy/sell feature works? I can place buy orders nor sell orders 
Awesome, i bought a few rigs to play with! 
Alright.. so far the game has been running for almost 10 hours and i got no complains.. that is a new record 
Anyway - its picking up speed. I got a few new users today and many more using the game. Thanks for all your trust in the past month and hopefully we can all make that game work

Wel........ to be honest? I forgot to add a registration link *G*
I had about 30 tasks on my todo list and didnt even think of the registration... damnit *G*
Registration should work in an hour.

I can't seem to find a register link, have you implemented that yet?
Just a guess but since the thread is titled starting may 1st I'll have to say that it is 99.999999999% likely its disabled... The site itself is functional - virtual hashing doesn't start until the 1st.

So its like a purely text game and you just click buttons in a strategic manner? I guess nobody caught my sarcasum earlier I still don't get what this game is.. I guess I'll see on may 1st
Finished almost everything that is on my list. The only thing missing right now is the faucet code.. but since there is no money in the faucet the faucet doesnt matter anyway.
I just sent the second Virtualminer newsletter to the user:

Hi,
Virtualminer is back online! After various problems with the previous VPS provider that deleted my Domains and killed off my VPSs I finally could get the game back up.
It all took much much longer than i ever expected it to, but i hope that everyone will understand that there can be times when real life work is more important than some hobby.. anyway.. in the past weeks i put a lot of time and effort into Virtualminer and can finally say: It is back online.
The whole game got rewritten in major parts. It is now divided into two parts: Website Mode and Desktop Mode. The Desktop mode is basically the old game but stripped of some elements like the exchange and user options etc. For this stuff we now have the Website Mode. On the website you will have access to most data and the new exchange. Aside of these changes i have also included a lot of patches and fixes that should make the gaming experience a lot more enjoyable.
The downside of this is that i have changed a lot of the inner workings of the \"block hashing process\" and the old chain definitions were no longer compatible. Due to that I had to make the hard decision to fully wipe the chains and coins (except BTC of course as well as the rigs..). But on the bright side: This is a fresh start and makes the game ready for the new algorithms..
The game is now halted till 12:00am May 1st (GMT) and will after then resume normal gameplay.
Till then you can set up your rigs, create chains or just explore the new page.
Cheers
Nachtwind

Alright..
Small update (i liked the transparent development and discussion in VM1 and i want to keep it that way):
Last night i have worked a lot on the inner mechanics of the block calculation system and might have a nice new toy at hand soonish.. So much being said: Users might edit (in an advanced way) how coins spread when a block is found.. but i am not 100% sure if that is a secure mechanism i found there.. more about that later.
Besides this i am taking out more and more stuff out of the Desktop mode or duplicating it in the website mode. Take a special attention on the chain managment stuff. Currently i am just duplicating the options from the Desktop mode.. but i think about adding a way of modifying the chain button for their creators... In certain levels of course:
Simple: Change name and abbreviation
Complex: Change name and abbreviation as well as blocks per hour
RealSolid: Change everything
I would then flag Chains according to the amount of modifications.. But thats just some idea in the back of my head..
Also i stripped all "User Managment" out of the Desktop mode and brought it into the Website mode.. its easier to handle new alerts and options this way. Deposits and Withdrawals will be added with a logfile there as well.
Minor changes include a lot of work on the website mode GUI...
At last i want to start a discussion about how to continue: I think i will just wipe bank accounts (not BTC) and chain statistics but leave everything untouched.. but i would like to have some opinions on a full wipe (excluding BTC) as well...
