12hrs later: casino is back The @getogeto Incident β€” Casino Temporarily Closed

Many of you will come online to find you have a notification about receiving 1 000 000 coins from @getogeto. You will also discover you don't have a million more coins than you had yesterday. This has been a strange few hours.

There was (and is) a bug in roulette which permits spending the same coins twice if you bet fast enoughβ€”this is equivalent to generating dramacoin out of thin air if you're clever about it. For technical insight, see the writeup from original reporter @Unbroken. He responsibly disclosed the bug and helped us troubleshoot. … And then, before we got a fix up, @Schizo found a more efficient way to exploit it and generated approximately a hundred million coins, most of which he gave to @getogeto.

getogeto, the famed stochastic downvote terrorist lurker, proceeded with great generosity to give most of it away a million coins at a time. Some people ( @birdenthusiast @MommyIssues @Losercel ) were honorable and sent almost all of it back. Some people wisely didn't touch it. Some people proceeded to buy every hat in the store, self-award every profile upgrade, and spend the remainder on a stockpile of dozens of grass awards and hope we wouldn't notice.

Anyway, took the coins and unused awards back from everyone who got them and hadn't sent them back. Most of the immediate issues have been resolved, though still need to repossess some profile upgrade awards & badges resulting from them, shop spending badges, hat badges, etc.

tl;drβ€” casino closed pending restoration of house edge after heist of the century. database mopping will continue until morale improves.


Here's everyone who has negative coins right now, because they immediately started purchasing things with their million and became indebted when it was reclaimed.

EDIT 10:05 UTC: Incorrectly included a few people on here before who only got sent negative because transfer tax meant they got +970k from geto but I reclaimed a full -1000k. My apologies for sullying their good names.

Honorable Mentions:

  • @Absinthe β€” who was sending so many coins around I reset him before anyone else in the list.
  • @HaloFan2002 β€” who made a big show of sending 545 000 coins back to getogeto, as if he was returning the money. I think he hoped I wouldn't notice the other 450k and his new checkmark badge.
  • @getogeto β€” for being my second favorite lurker and bringing about this whole incident. I'm honored to have a been immediately ban-awarded as soon as he got coins, and the new snekshole /h/twolargesnakesmating he bought is endearing.
  • @Schizo β€” :marseyantischizo:

I didn't spend anything. I was sleeping when all of this happened lol.

I refreshed the page to check notifications and DC immediately went to negative.

Fixed it; transfer tax meant slightly undercounted. Updated OP to clear your good name.

Hello Snakes,

I had 10500 coins (?) before the incident and now I have 13kish.

My Beano award has not been removed. The badge was though.

I had one Tilt that was gifted to me which was removed and have never spent any coins in the shop. It says I have (e: must be the confiscated hats I bought after generously returning all of the funds I had received).

Idk if you care, maybe it helps you spot mistakes elsewhere. I thought you could rollback since so didn't feel bad making a mess.

Best,

HaloFan2022

You were the only person who wound up with a beano, iirc, and I mostly cared about the high-value awards. Enjoy your new beano. But yeah, a lot of people were fairly easy to do just by rolling back badges/awards/hats/coins spent. I'm not totally concerned with it being perfect; almost a little bit funnier if it isn't. Like, per his request, I left swagfella negative but let him keep his awards. Thanks for being honest and helpful with your info, though; it's appreciated.
