Is there a way to hide entered giveaways?
Also, are there plans to make endless scrolling to discussions/giveaway list etc?
Thanks!

Another wishlist: Filter giveaways by chance/level?
Thanks for the update!

You can already disable giveaways that are higher than your level if that is what you meant.

I know that. But I want to filter out all the level 0 giveaways as well as the giveaways with chances of less than 0.1%.

good add-on. works perfectly.
any chance to add Tiles view feature?

Why can't Steamgifts just incorporate this script's feature? So much useful things.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks! I really don't need all the extra features of SG+ anymore, so I prefer this script for now!
The only issue is despite disabling the percentage, it's still showing on the giveaways.

Update point every 2 seconds
Are you fucking insane? You are DDOSing the site on purpose?

Did cg not just have to upgrade to better services only a few months back because of load?
Is colocation free? Is processing power unlimited? Is bandwidth both unlimited and free?
Distributed Denial of Service operates by using a slew of repeating small messages from many sources to a service, in essence blocking the service to legitimate messages.
You propose having every user of your horrible script access the site every 2 seconds. That is 30 messages per user per minute that need not be done at all.
How do you think that scales if you hit the half a million users that this site has? Every second a quarter million requests for nothing.
That is a DDOS.

I'm sure the script isn't affect the page's work. The script can get your points from a special page that designed for javascript. So every time when it update your points It don't have to load a full page, the traffic is only few bytes. Don't worry about this. I know what I do. I'm not insane. :D

If you are not insane, you must be deeply confused as to how resources are used by a webserver.
Every request, regardless of the page's size, takes up time and processing power. Each request needs to be handled the same way by the webserver.
You are hammering the webserver with your terrible hackjob.

I think 2 seconds is a bit too much. Try having it update everytime a giveaway is entered.

The points are not only changes when you enter a giveaway...
Comment has been collapsed.
That's true, but for the sake of not sending too many transactions, can we do it everytime you enter a giveaway but not less than once every 1minute?
I doubt people would check the site every 2seconds to enter a giveaway.

It's pretty simple for cg to address this if it's really a problem. Simply make it so points don't update at all unless you haven't made a request in 60 seconds (or whatever). This stops people mindlessly clicking refresh over-n-over as well. Anyone running such a script wont get their points updated as long as it's running. ;o)
Comment has been collapsed.
The requests would still be performed by the script.
Unfortunatly, there are not so much things to do to prevent a ddos server side, except buying more bandwith and servers. This is why script creators should be careful when they implement this kind of feature.
And in this case, 2s is realy too short as it does not give you a real help, but may raise the load troubles we all experienced few months ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
But think it through... nobody would run the script if it meant they get no points to use.
Comment has been collapsed.
This script provides lot more than just an auto-refresh. So people will still use it at least for the other features.
I get what you mean as people would complain that this feature does not work and the developer would have to decrease the rate of sending requests to fix it. But it is not really optimal as you have to fix it afterward instead of make it right from the beginning.

You're not really understanding what i'm saying. There is a method for this website to ensure that nobody does updates every 2 seconds to get their current point count. That is, you don't get points until 60 seconds after your most recent web request. It would stop everybody from polling for their point value more often than 60 seconds; because it becomes in their own interest to do so. Polling more often just hurts themselves. Therefore, if a script author wanted anyone to use her script at all, then she would have to disable this polling.
You can't rely on all script writers to be thoughtful, or even have your websites best interest at heart. Therefore, you must protect yourself against such things. Fortunately in this case, if the load of such scripts becomes a problem.. there is a very simple to implement mitigation strategy. Of course there are also other rate-limiting technologies that can be employed at the network and web-server levels.

I've temporary removed this feature from 1.5.5. But I still not agree with you. I think it called as continuous communication, not DDOS. Do you have any problems in the past 4 months with the site because this addon? I think not. But I'll try to find a better solution that suits for everyone.

Hi there,
You're doing a nice thing sharing your script with people, it looks good! If you're still taking requests... it's be nice to see what group a GA is from when I hover over the lil group icon.
Thanks :-)

Amazing script & style
Using 1.5.4 [BETA] (03-28-2015)

Something i would like to do is being able to see only the giveways that are for whitelist, i tend to pass giveaways because they end when i am not at the computer, and i dont like that :(

Can you add the option to automatically not display every single bundle from the bundle list page(hide bundle games)? Had it on a old userscript but its outdated for this version of this site. Would be really helpful thanks.

Final notes:
The script isn't under active development since i'm working on my first game I don't really wanna spend so much time on this project. Although I'm trying to do my best to keep it up to date. There some things that not contained by this script. Like features which request other pages when the page loads or manage a database in the background to keep the data fast and safe. I wont implement any feature like them in the feature for reason. I wanted to keep it as fast as possible. if you want features like this there is a lot of userscripts which can bring you them. Most if them also compatible with ESG. Small and creative feature requests and bug reports still welcome. Just keep in mind i might won't be able to implement them immediately.
