Hueristic and I are both paid in, 0.2 XMR each, txid:

phishead I'm counting on you to pick me all 7s, 3s, and maybe some 1s.

I have no idea WTF,  but I'll play 



Sounds good.  I'm in for 10, + Split the difference with jwinterm and anyone else as/if required.

I'll buy a minimum of 10 and willing to buy the board for whatever doesn't sell. If you guys want I'm fine with being escrow.

.02 per square needs to be placed in the OP. And if JW has no issue taking my Paypal I'll take 10 squares.

Well, it seems we always over shoot a realistic price *cough* FFL *cough cough*... I think 2 xmr is a pretty good chunk of USD to win on a pool game like this based on random luck.  So maybe .02 per square?  Hopefully there will be some other people showing up soon who might have some opinions on the matter

I'll buy a minimum of 10 and willing to buy the board for whatever doesn't sell. If you guys want I'm fine with being escrow.

With only 6 players, we'll need 16-17 entries each to fill up the grid. I'll commit to 10 entries but can go more, if necessary. Obviously, it would be much better if we get more participants but we got a week to go.

jwinterm is fine for escrow but what about asking fluffypony? Maybe he can add a bonus to the pot (and get some attention for the pool!) 

Alright, so I think it has been agreed that we are doing 0.02 monero/square for a 2 XMR Jackpot...

Everyone start telling me how many squares they want and who they want to act as escrow.  After that has been decided, the escrow will need to provide a public address and private view key so we can all verify payments.

Ok, I updated the OP so far.  But so far so good! We got more people wanting to play within the first day than we could muster up for fantasy football; so that in itself is a good sign.

On the thread I had on /r/Monero trying to get people to play, someone came up with a really good idea in order to randomly generate square spots.  I'm still open to doing something else or doing things like I initially proposed if it seems better, but I suggest everyone to read this reply I got in terms of assigning people squares.

0.02 moneronis seems good to me. About $6.30 each square today.

Any interest in having a winner each quarter?

0.02 xrm ok for me. I'm also ok for splitting by quarters or halves or one big pot, whatever people want to do.

Each block has a hash value that is (ostensibly) different, correct?

Its a hex value, so you would just take the last 4 of the block hash value.

So you have a list from 1-100 that looks like

    Steve H - 1
    Steve H - 2
    Ryan R - 1
    Ryan R - 2
    Ryan R - 3
    Jenny O - 1

and so on until it fills up the 100 slots. Those are listed in the order in which they reserve a spot, or make a payment and submit proof of payment.

Then, You take the hash value of the block from a starting point (any starting point) and pick off the last four.

So lets say you started with Block Number 1494281

You have the following hashes:
Block    Hash    Last 4
1494281    fc34be5df26d2e16b48a36a08610d954ad1a6dc47d0a5f7f6eec26ea52375d6a    5d6a
1494282    8c828f32d546be4a2e6338c872e7da06bf570a849eb49c240a030b464b7b120a    120a
1494283    11741a4c52d6d47cb8ead385a98666973feb3c14e6ea9db61180eae9baebe75b    e75b
1494284    15fa9ef91d900bc63269be01b92bbd3cc35c357dcc9847ce85ba66bd176fa83c    a83c
1494285    50cc89198976f7c9a909926fbfb99959368fe7e66dc45e9d0bccbd5bc88163e2    63e2
1494286    fb669cadc01ddfad8e2dda62572930f42b997982d351c55ffc67da5e4b811f06    1f06

Those get assigned to the list of square owners.
Square Owner    Last 4
Steve H - 1    5d6a
Steve H - 2    120a
Ryan R - 1    e75b
Ryan R - 2    a83c
Ryan R - 3    63e2
Jenny O - 1    1f06

Sort those in ascending (or descending) and you would get this:
Square Owner    Last 4    Rank
Steve H - 1    5d6a    3
Steve H - 2    120a    1
Ryan R - 1    e75b    6
Ryan R - 2    a83c    5
Ryan R - 3    63e2    4
Jenny O - 1    1f06    2

Rank is equal to squares on your grid, so your layout would look like
Square Owner    Last 4    Rank (Square #)
Steve H - 2    120a    1
Jenny O - 1    1f06    2
Steve H - 1    5d6a    3
Ryan R - 3    63e2    4
Ryan R - 2    a83c    5
Ryan R - 1    e75b    6

Yeah we're gonna pull from a hat, just trying to be funny.

So IOw put me down for 2 definite spots right now. And I fully expect that combination to get pulled from the blockhain for me.
