Hey guys! I want to play fair and tell you about a bug. Basically, I found out on my first day here. If you go to the 'Earn More Soundcoins' page and haven't join any spaces, it gives you the opportunity to get 20 Soundcoins. If you join and then leave the spaces, you can do it again, and again, and again, and again. This therefore gives you infinite Soundcoins.

Don't worry, I submitted a ticket with Soundgym :¬)

@A U Nope, still works. You probably didn't do it right .

What's the point of getting all these sound coins in the first place? Can you buy a coffee on them? If not that's not a really bid deal 😀

@James V. I completely agree with you, James. Not only is it clearly prohibited by the contest rules and also TOS, it's in no way beneficial for one's ear training and practices and obviously low in moral.

I am well aware of the consequences and by far means have no intentions to risk restrictions, exclusion from any contests or a ban nor unrightfully appropriate any awards, scoreboard positions or store purchases without legitimately earning and or deserving them.

It is true that a portion of my coins was generated with the method I discovered at the beginning of this month. And before I recommended Bob to publish this information and address it to support, I, too, tested this exploit a few times while recording it as to confirm and demonstrate it in a support ticket submitted by me.

Aside from the small amount of coins I got due to me testing Bobs discovery I did not make use of this nor will I, out of respect for other contestants and fairness.
I did not check myself if it hasn't been changed, as I restrain from attempting any manipulations or frauds, further more
do I not want any more duped coins or scores in my account.

Support has been informed and if they decide to remove any coins or points in the championship that I acquired unrightfully, they are more than welcome to do so as I, again, don't have any interest in winning with fraud and gladly give it to those who worked hard and earned more with their longer, better trained ears and skills.

Nonetheless, my opinion is that these loopholes in the system, as they always and anywhere could be discovered, explaining and sharing it with everyone along with contacting admins or support and not kept secret.

I'm going to be honest here. I had no intentions to win the championship. Furthermore, I wasn't even aware of the championship until my 5th day on this platform. The only reason I found and used this exploit was to buy fake gear for the digital studio. I certainly don't mind if all of my Soundcoins were to be reset, including my studio purchases from the Soundcoins Store. I only used this exploit for fun.
