How Clicking A Single Button Became The Best Way To Make Money (Hypixel Skyblock)

[@SomethingLT]

To quote myself from the video: "the only reason this works rn is that not many people know about it" And I have no idea how did you even managed to, in less than an hour make the price of the frags two times higher than even the peak during the end update but I can't imagine it's gonna help you still profit from it xd you have to wait until everyone forgets about it again sorry xd also discord if you want: discord: discord.gg/suweRaE99H

i met a group of players that was doing the same thing as me like 3 months ago so it was known for a while, but made it not profitable sometimes when whales would buy out the market. i guess now it really is dead.

[@frivolesss]

i just checked bazaar tracker and yeah ur losing money now. >5.5k / holyfrag is not worth it

[@Redeam.]

So technicly java.util.Random is open source and i could reverse enginner seed by drops and then we could figure out if seed is based on something in the game but there is also a chance that hypxiel devs just used public Random() { this(System.currentTimeMillis()); } and the didn't set the seed so in that case we really cant predict exact ms a server is running on becose ping isn't a static number. And as a guy who enjoys coding i could say that we have like a 90% chance that they just used Random() witchout seed. But there still is hope 👀 Edit: I think i might have got something... Edit 2: I'm sure i got it.

[@erisuvt]

Waiting until everyone forgets about it is honestly such a real thing in skyblock. There's been so many profit methods that die when entering the public view, but as soon as everyone assumes "oh it's dead." The methods resurface, sometimes only to a portion of their previous effectiveness, other times all the way back to their original form. It almost moves in cycles and it's usually work checking old methods like this to see if anything has changed. One such example is enchanted golden carrot craft flip which goes through phases of being very profitable.

13:19 the rates listed on the wiki give a greater than 1 in 10 chance, and with no ender mite there’s a 5.8% chance of getting 5 residue out of 20 rituals, with a mythic lvl 100 this is raised to 8.1%. Neither of those numbers are rare at all over such scales. The issue here seems to be simply that nobody ever bothered calculating the expected value of sacrifices since it is terminally unfun.

Actually setting a snail back 10 meters would remove 12.5 minutes of their movement because the average snail travels 0.048 kph being 4.8 10 meters/ hour which equates to 12.5 minutes every 10 meters

[@muhammedavdol9900]

You... you didnt need to say 4.8 10. You couldve just said 48 meters/hour

[@zero1up1up5]

To test your hypothesis that something is wrong with the alter, you should try a p-value test on the transition probability P(Bonus now | Not Bonus previous) and P(Not Bonus now | Bonus Previous). If the probability of Bonus is independent each time you sacrifice just like a coin flip, P(Bonus now | Not Bonus previous) = P(Bonus) and P(Not Bonus now | Bonus previous) = P(Not Bonus). But if it isn't, that would prove that the alter doesn't work like a coin flip and depends on initial drop or lobby code, etc.

[@justinhoang6293]

He should instead run a binomial test to see if the proportion of not bonus is reasonably close to what it is said to be. Would work much better as we are trying to find if it stays true to listed probabilities vs being affected by previous event

[@CommentPositionInformer]

I mean, I suppose this method works in waves, as long as the admins don't patch it. Because yes, a lot of people will try it, which will ruin prices. But, with prices ruined, then it will no longer be profitable, meaning prices will eventually return to what they were, making it profitable again. And Holy Frags in particular will return to being cheap very quickly, since Dungeons provides a steady supply and they are otherwise worthless.

I actually have a section of my own personal spreadsheet where I concluded that it was profit as well. However sadly I realized that I thought the chance of Ritual Residue being rolled was 10.84% when the wiki says that there is a "45% chance of bonus items being rolled" which could be boosted by 10% with Endermite passive. Which I figured meant at most it had a 4.878% chance of being rolled. Then I concluded that it would actually be a loss. However I didn't do extensive actual testing in-game. So I never realized how much money could actually be made from it.

[@alexanderheubel7366]

Here’s the thing with randomness, people expect a certain level of variation, otherwise it doesn’t feel truly random. Apple had to redesign their shuffle feature because people complained that it didn’t feel random enough and some songs played more than other. There was also a professor in a statistics class that told their students to flip a coin 100 times and record the results, but they were also allowed to make up results. The professor was almost always able to make out who faked it because almost every person who did the coin flip had a repeating result of 6 or more. I guess what I am trying to say is that we can’t get a long with truly random results

[@LarsVDS-VA]

A snail travels about 25 meters in a full day, meaning that’s about 1 meter per hour(some snails go faster), so setting it back 10 meters means you have cost that snail about 10+- hours of work.

You can perform a statistical test on the results to see different kinds of probabilities in the numbers. For example, testing what the probability of a number showing up given the previous number is a one or zero. That is, checking the probabilities of pairs of digits. It's a small sample, but you can get a little insight from it this way. Lets call the two sets of data you provided C (for the coin flip) and H (for hypixel), a success a "1" and a failure a "0". In C, there are 41 1's and 31 0's, while in H there are 35 1's and 37 0's. Nothing strange. Looking further, though, in C there are 17 "11"s, 23 "10"s, 23 "01"s, and 8 "00"s. In H there are 22 "11"s, 12 "10"s, 12 "01"s, and 25 "00"s. There's more pairs of equivalent digits than non-equivalent digits in H... but it could be sample bias. In a perfectly uniform rng, you would expect there to be an equal amount of all pairs of digits; however, if this pattern continued in H, then you could reasonably expect that if you fail or succeed, you will achieve the same result again more often than not. As you evaluate more and more groupings (n=3, n=4, and so on), you'll find that in H larger groupings of the same result occur more often than other groupings ("0000" and "1111" are way more common than anything else in the sequence). If you take advantage of this, you would be better off betting on whatever was the last outcome than just randomly betting on the same outcome. There's probably some deeper prediction you can put into place, but this would allow you to abuse the system without much effort or research.

i am >99% certain that the rng cannot be manipulated in this way for a couple of reasons: 1) it would take many rolls to determine which seed you are on, as there are not so many possible outcomes 2) the rng value is likely not only used for the altar and therefore changes unpredictably 3) even if you could determine your rng seed, it's not very helpful--the best you can do is check if it's unusually bad and if so switch lobbies but especially with the setup with another player/alt this will pretty much never be worth the time

Hello, nerd here, I found the segment about how the RNG could be rigged really interesting, but I'm kind of said it never got beyond "yeah this looks kind of fishy". It would be super cool to plug the numbers into the binomial distribution (it's just a simple formula that's perfect for this situation, the wikipedia page is very helpful) to get some concrete chances on how likely it was for you to get results as good as you've been getting. Because over some number of repeats, unlikely things just happen, and bias can lead you to believe that the odds are rigged when really they aren't.

[@justinhoang6293]

I thought it was ironic how he spoke about how obvious gambling was a losing game, but proceeded to believe that the altar was rigged from just observation. Gambling can seem profitable in the short run the same way the altar can seem nonprofitable in the short run. 🙄

[@maroonsheep1347]

The chance of a getting an item is based of probability and each time you roll a dragon residue is a 5.42% chance. So essentially after many many attempts the odds will be closer to the theoretical probability. Another example is the coin flip the theoretical probability is 50% for heads and tails and each time you have 50% shot at landing heads or tails. You have to conduct many trials to reach the theoretical probability example equation is 0.5^100 you use the power 100 to the chance 0.5. Someone can fix my math I am pretty sure what I am saying is right I don’t have my notes to check.
