HOW TO EXIT SCAM: Call setCut function and set their cut to 100%. This means that every time a new country is bought, the last owner of this country does not get any eth but is put in the contract instead. Note that also the buyers ETH is in this contract. Owner can simply buy all countries and then call the withdraw function to withdraw their sent funds too.
Not convinced? Look at line 41 (withdraw function), line 36 (setCut), line 12-13 (current cut definitions) and line 195-200 (calculation of cut)
I've gone from .5 to 1.4 ETH on this in the last hour. Guess now is the time to stop?
Aaron Morgan
lol the site is making a fucking killing right now, even if they do exit scam it'll be a few days from now after all the normies flood in
Mason Turner
Don't know what to advise, but the knowledge that the owner can just get setCut to 100% will immediately lock up all funds - they can then take forever to get this ETH out.
Wyatt Long
Yes. If it were me I would have already cashed out.
Whales just started fighting and if it keeps up its gonna git shadowd
Christian Long
eh, good find but I'm betting on the site only leaving once the site is fully open to people. They have so many locked countries right now that it would be stupid for them to stop now
Thomas Watson
Is there any way they can fix it? Or do they have to redeploy the contract?
Jonathan Perez
You can't change the contract once it's deployed.
Thomas Wood
they're also getting a percentage of each sale. they can use their dividends to rebuy their own countries from you and then cashout.
Ryan Mitchell
They should create a contract where they have a max cut. Simply adding an assertion that their cut can never be higher than 5% (which is insane IMO) and not lower than 0%
Also not nice that their site doesn't mention this cut. You "double" your money.
Also did anyone notice that the price increase isn't 2x when the countries hit a certain price? You won't double your money at some point, "just" ~20% in most cases.
Jack Miller
also now that I think about it, I bet they will exit when the 12 hour mark hits as advertised in the release thread
Logan Baker
Okay, so there is no way for them to correct this
Probably yeah
Justin Cook
See: PoWH shadow. $1 million stuck in contract forever unless ETH hard forks because of pajeet coding
Noah Jones
lel they will exit earlier when they see they've already been exposed
Levi Anderson
Are people's money stuck in cryptocountries contract??
Robert Evans
>PoWH shadow
Source on this?
Benjamin Garcia
wow I literally made almost 1 ETH from this and got out right when this thread was made
I feel blessed. THis never happens to me
Camden Jenkins
For the love of god please just check the contract you send your shit to. This exit scam was harder to spot but most of the pajeet ponzi's where extremely easy.
Isaiah Reyes
It was a PoWH fork by the original developers to change the dividends (make them pay more) but the code was broken by some transactions and everything is dead
link to the contract is on the page. made by OG devs, on OG site, some obscure variable typing error broke withdrawals. all money is stuck permanently unless Vitalik and his bois fork ETH specifically for powhshadow
John James
If they are not going for for Parity they ain't going to fork for anyone
They could redeploy it without `setCut` and just transfer over the countries with the same price.
Chase Brooks
thats just people still trying to get their money back but failing, and the cashouts will never process.
the balance has been 858 since it died and will be 858 eth forever. the contract fails on widthrdrawls, its impossible to take eth out unless ETH hardforks for a ponzi creator
it was made by the og devs but not linked to by them, a "secret floor" but not hard to find because it was on their website
the original PoWH is still going, still has 1mil in it, and you can track it on powhchart.com
again, shadowfork contract is broken, original powh works still
Landon Edwards
why are the prices still mooning on cryptocontries reeee
Noah Watson
WHAT IM GONNA DO
Elijah Flores
it doubles then 1.12-1.18 every time automatically. soon as you buy it it automatically lists it to be sold at a higher price.
Andrew Powell
As we posted on the original thread. We are obviously by now aware of the setCut function that was left by mistake from testing the dApp on the Ropsten test network. As some of you already pointed out, it is not possible to change the contract after it has been deployed. We are currently looking into options of doing a relaunch of the game with a new contract without any possibility of changing the cut. This however can take some time, since we do not want current country owners to loose their investment and hence we need to look into different options on how to proceed.
Hardly any trust or assurance to anyone if we say that you can continue playing the game. But our goal is not to trick or scam anyone, our ambition is to build a great and fun game in a high quality dApp.
Asher Sullivan
relaunch the game, we';; play again
1000eth whale here
Hudson Howard
Thread will be deleted because this contract does not appear to have an intended exit scam. After reporting, the contract owners have sent me 0.5 ETH as bug bounty reward, something pajeets or exit scammers would never do.
