[Important Noice] Cause of system instability in Nov 2016

After renewal, we observed the system down once for a few days interval.
Having investigated the issue, we found someone is attacking our site with random id and password trials.
The login attempts were too many at the same time so that our system could not keep on live, then eventually downed.
To prevent this attack, we have implemented the captcha function on login page. It would be one more extra effort for you to login, but we hope you could kindly understand.

Since we ban the account if the login attempts to that specific account are failed a few times in a row, it is less likely user accounts are hacked.
Rather it seemed to us that attacker found or stolen some id/password set somewhere else, then try those to our site.
If you are using the same id/password pair somewhere else, we recommend you to check your balance page see if any unintended payout request was made or not. Also we recommend you to change the password in this case.

Should you have further question on this matter, feel free to ask admin.
Thank you very much.

Facebook login

In the renewal of this quiz site, we added a new feature: Facebook login.

If you are new to Satoshi quiz, register with Facebook will let you connect both Facebook account and Satoshi quiz site account together. The advantage is you don`t need to memorize so many different logins and can reduce registration works.

 VS

 

If you are using the same email on both Facebook and Satoshi quiz, your Facebook login will connect to your existing account. On the other hand, if your registered email is different from Facebook, your facebook login will generate a new account automatically. So please be careful if you find your account information is different after Facebook login.

You can check your registered email address on My Account Page as follow.

Hot categories in Solo Challenge

We believe some of our users enjoy our solo challenge mode in addition to Faucet mode. 

We have 10 quiz categories on Solo Challenge, which one is your favourite?

Which one do you think is the most popular?

Here are the top 5 Solo Challenge categories:

No.1: Science

No.2: General Knowledge

No.3: Movies

No.4: Geography

No.5: Music

Is it as same as you thought?

Actually No.1 and No. 2, Science and General Knowledge are very close to each other in sense of popularity.

Maybe our users are mainly scientist? Or belong to science group?

General Knowledge is popular as well. Guess most of our users play it if they are not confident in other categories.

Since Solo Challenge needs some small fee to participate, it may be tough for beginners, but it could be profitable option for those who have already used to our platform.. Why not try it today? 

Numbers

We remember some of our users questioned about the number of our platform in chat. Have you ever thought about what is the meaning of the following numbers?

1. The number inside the brackets. Example: Satoshiquiz (3599). The winner on Award page.

2. The little star next to winners` names.

For no. 1, the exact meaning depends on different awards. The number inside the bracket on Award Winner Board is the number of total correct answers that user has answered. In Hall of Fame, the number is accumulated from the very beginning when the user joined our quiz. Some users has a very high number! Means they have answered so many questions! Thank you!

For no.2, there is a little star next to winners' names in faucet mode. If you look closely, you can see a tiny little number inside the star. This is the rank of the user. Different ranks with different colors. Actually, it is just a little trick for users to easily recognise other users are in same rank or not. If you could not see it clearly, please go to “My Account” --> "Award"page, you can find your rank in “Statistics” section.

Interesting? Let us know if you find any other interesting numbers in our site.
