Conditions for ordering the golden tb-rescue.com Geocoin

Friday April 30th, 2010 — Sascha

We have decided to make the golden tb-rescue Geocoin something special :-) .
This coin will ecklusively be available for tb-rescue.com users.

To be able to order a golden Coin at mygeocoin.de you need to have a valid user at tb-rescue.com that matches your geocaching.com Nickname.
In addition you must fulfill at least one of the following criteria:

  • You have rescued at least one TB on tb-rescue.com
  • Another geocacher has rescued one of your TBs via tb-rescue.com

If you fulfill these criteria you will be able to create your personal rescue-code at tb-rescue.com.
You just need to enter this rescue-code during your order at myGeocoin.de.

Here you can access your personal rescue-code:
http://www.tb-rescue.com/rescuecode.html

Additional comments:

  • Only one gold coin per account can be ordered.
  • Only successful rescue missions count. If you have reported a TB missing this does not count.
  • myGeocoin.de will only ship the gold coin if they receive the correct personal rescue-code.
  • Well.. we trust you not to try any tricks to fool us.

A try- calculation the chance for rescue

Wednesday April 21st, 2010 — Sascha

Hi all,

we wanted to try some new stuff: tb-rescue now automatically estimates the probability of a successful rescue.
On the TB page you will find a small gauges that shows the probability:

The whole thing is currently in test phase and we have no idea if it works as designed – or if it is even useful.
So please give us feedback in our Blog on how it worked for you – and how you like the idea.

Here is a real example: live Beispiel.

Great Collaboration with Groundspeak

Monday April 19th, 2010 — Sascha

Sorry, the full blog is not translated to english yet.

The blog speaks about recent issues on tb-run and tb-rescue and talks about the very good support we received from groundspeaks team.

We really appreciate the level of collaboration they do provide.

Connectivity issues to gc.com fixed

Monday April 5th, 2010 — Sascha

We have just solved the connectivity issues from tb-rescue.com and tb-run.com to geocaching.com.
The Update of the TB information and positions will take a while – until 6 AM GMT (we do reduce the connection speed on purpose).

From tomorrow on, everything should be back to normal.
Only the creation of new rescue requests taked 5-30 seconds instead of 1-2 secs because we need to gather more data after the recent changed on gc.com.
We will be working on optimizing this in the next weeks.
