Topic: ฿0.00 Low Hash Lotto Number 29 by Dabs. Provably Fair. Weekly Draws. ฿ (Read 31371 times)

It's been 4 months since Low Hash Lotto had it's last game. One reason for the extended pause is the lack of interest.

So, exactly as it is, with the same rules, I'd like to find out if there is interest in this game now. I can run it the same way with some changes (I'll take out a bunch of the external sites for starters). Out of the two original dead man's switch one still has his website up, no offense to the other one but yours died after getting hacked.

Or if people like to play a slower (once a month) or faster (daily) game, let me know.

On other developments, while my poker game never happened, I'm pretty much convinced it's still something I want to do, but that requires a real site or a real client, so it can be played faster. I've also got ideas for a blackjack game. Something about cards and hashes just appeals to me.

Feel free to comment on how I ran this, as well as how you think I should run it, considering that I have to be fair to all players and I also would like to take home a small fee (rake or whatever.)

Thanks to everyone, the past 29 games are now a part of history. If I can't do it, maybe someone else will but I do believe it's still possible for me to make something. I've already got the domain and hosting, all I really need now is a good dev / coder.

I've decided to transfer all the funds into my Feed Some Children project, it's been several draws and only 1 player, and he agreed to donate it instead.

I will restart this Lotto from zero, but probably change a few mechanics, if people are still interested in playing.

Onnits count down timer seems to have been replaced with an ad for some zombie head style kettlebells. Anyone got any suggestions for an alternative?

The pot is now at 0.03944639. The amount is usually on the topic and in the first post as a graphic, and you can always manually check the bitcoin address.

Is jackpot  8 BTC ?

It went up to 8 BTC twice in a row a few games back. Mostly due to a "whale" that bought a thousand tickets.

Just curious, what's the highest the jackpot has gotten to so far?

Hi chemdog,

Yes, of course it's legit. Been legit for the past 24 games. (which is about 24 weeks since I do this weekly.)

seems legit

One more day!

Let's keep it in and see if there are more players coming 

Whales!  We need Whales!

Time is up. 1 player. Automatic win.

Mr. cowbay, since you're the only player, if I do the regular rules, you get back 83.33%. The rules must take effect if there is more than one transaction, to be fair.

But since you're the only one, the last time this happened (or during the very first game) I simply returned the coins.

Would you like to just apply your 3 tickets to the next round? (using the same transaction id). Or would you like a full refund?
