Show HN: I Found a Simple Exploit for Bitcoin Hero
So I found this game recently called Bitcoin Hero. It's an interesting little game that lets you "paper trade" a few cryptocurrencies. It's pretty simple.

The downside is that no matter how much capital you have, you are still limited to a certain Amount and Leverage.
After a while, I decided to see how the top players on the leaderboard were making their trades. I discovered that they seemingly made trades far beyond the limit that the game allows.
So I peeked into the JS and after a couple of moments I realized that you could change the Amount to trade by simply changing the HTML value of the "#amount" element.
$("#amount").html("$ 100000");
It's not really cheating because you can easily lose your 10k USD if you set the Amount of "100,000" and have a Leverage value of 10.
Either way, now you know how the top scorers got to where they are. So, I'll see you at the top of the list!
- jessehorne 7y agoI've tried increasing the value to levels beyond a million and then I get a message from Bitcoin Hero saying "Oh, really?". Needless to say I'm no longer in the top 10. :D
