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!
