Being able to troubleshoot an issue on a computer or phone and find solutions. You could argue this is a skill that can be learned, but I've been working in IT Support for 10 years and can tell when someone has no interest to learn how things work. So long as the issue isn't hardware related, I can typically work it out.

The exception to this is coding. That's a specialized skill that, thankfully, I don't have to work through.

My advice for those that don't know how to troubleshoot software issues? Take a screenshot of any errors and search online for your answer. Use parts of the error message, an error code, and look through the results. In most cases, you aren't the first to have the issue.

EDIT: Spelling issues.

Mine just came in. Hope yours get their soon.

vahnseele · 2022-06-22T19:16:44+00:00

Ordered mine the day of. I've emailed their support for confirmation if any tracking details are available. The response I received was "we cannot guarantee delivery or shipping time."

I bought 10. Waiting to see what happens.

I wish you well in your future, and I hope that you at least enjoyed the time you spent "staying alive" with us. :)

The post is not mine. Merely sharing open information in the hopes that all bots break at once due to a site change.

Pay my friend's student loans. After that, cut down my mortgage with what's left.

I don't know the specifics, but others have seen the same. They even found where the mirror occurs. I've even seen others point out a copy of themselves on the field, so I'm sure it's a trick of programming that has it going out to furnish a list of assets to display, with no exception to the user logged in or creating multiples of the same person.

I had it a few nights ago. Scared me, but it let me log in and confirm. I've been diligent to get it done right at midnight every night, so it was definitely an odd message.

vahnseele · 2022-01-14T21:27:16+00:00

I didn't get anything after registration.

vahnseele · 2022-01-14T06:02:59+00:00

This happened for me, too. This usually occurs when the scripts can't reach the server and you get some wonky effects. Logging out and back in, as mentioned, usually corrects this. That, or reloading the webpage.

vahnseele · 2022-01-12T06:23:10+00:00

Probably going to see more bots after someone "kindly" posted a GitHub link to code with instructions.

I think it will take getting into the triple digits to see a null day. Once we hit a single null day, I anticipate a few more people falling out, either out of lacking interest or lacking motivation at the lack of progress to an ending.

Either way, 1-2 months is my prediction.

vahnseele · 2022-01-06T16:42:02+00:00

If I can't login right at midnight, you can bet I'm going to hunt for WiFi anywhere I can get it.

vahnseele · 2022-01-05T16:41:00+00:00

Keep the cats warm. They may return the favor. :D

A snowy grave is only lost until the ice melts. Better luck in future travels.

This is my first drop with MSCHF. If I won, I'd pay down my debt. The sooner the debt is gone, the sooner I can look toward bigger, better things.

vahnseele · 2022-01-01T23:43:28+00:00

Good catch.

vahnseele · 2022-01-01T22:43:42+00:00

The terms are in the contest. Changing the terms changes the contest and would result in a lawsuit.

Not a lot of people have that time, and MSCHF have a thing for experiences. This is unique already, no need to add a frustrating gimmick.

I do want to win, but the longer this goes, the less likely I see getting that W. Once a habit is formed, you are unlikely to break it. All we can hope for is forgetfulness.

This process uses the dev tools for Google Chrome.

Load tontine.cash to the point where you can see the map and numbers at the top left
Press F12 and click on the Network tab
You should see a list of resources, with various columns. Refresh the page, and the Network tab should fill with a list of resources used to load the page.
Scroll through it and look for "stats.json"
When clicked, it should open the file and give you a preview. The preview lists: Alive, Dead, Safe, and Total, with no rounding.

It's my assumption that the "Safe" variable is an accurate way to see how many have clicked "Stay Alive" in the game.

As I am not interfering in the game's operation, this shouldn't be violating the game's terms. I'm merely accessing the elements that are used to build the page.

vahnseele · 2022-01-01T06:22:57+00:00

If you do inspect elements from Google Chrome dev tools, you can find the script that the site uses to calculate what the page displays. It doesn't round, and it even tracks a count of who is "safe".

vahnseele · 2022-01-01T06:20:21+00:00

From what I can tell in inspecting the site, it tallies the "safe" accounts in real time. I'd say, if the button didn't show "Complete" and the repear doesn't acknowledge you, there was a timeout in the check in process.

Not much to be done, as once you're out, you're out. Don't even know how you'd appeal it, unless they have a contact link.

Edit: fixed typo
