Hueristic and I are both paid in, 0.2 XMR each, txid:
Code:
8ce4fbc472a4ac5d1c297494d0ef9c5c1a88cf5f3ba425eecafb972c314a63e4

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

Don't count on me, count on the block # whatever is after the 12 PM count down... I guess we can all decide on which one to go off of tomorrow, isn't the blockchain based on UTC timezone? If so, whatever block is after 12 PM EST.  More than likely I'll be busy tomorrow, so if I'm not on here during that time, maybe someone can help run the calculations as described before in this thread (I don't think I updated the OP in that regard yet).

So here's my tx id; I updated the OP with it there for people who don't know how to verify people have paid yet...
Code:
d7d8d4e4359a8782ebfd721d00e179a5926f2d1544dd8117c329e6cc1efd6477

How many blocks shall we count after 12 PM to calculate the results, or is everyone ok with just the first one after?

Edit: I also updated the OP on how to calculate results

I have no idea WTF,  but I'll play  Tongue


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.

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



Alright alrigggghttttt.. things are getting interesting now.  I'll submit my payment in tomorrow and provide the tx hash myself. Maybe some other stragglers will come through tomorrow Smiley

I'm in. What are you thinking for buy in?

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

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

I have no issue with putting in 0.2 XMR for let's say 50 PayPal bux from Hueristic.

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.

Look at Mr. Moneybags over here... Overly confident after winning that cool 5 XMR FFL jackpot aren't we?? heheh... Cheesy Cheesy

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.

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!)  Grin

I'll start advertising a little bit more once we get closer to gameday this upcoming week.  Maybe jwin can help spread word with his crew over at /r/cryptocurrencies?  And I'm more than ok with jwinterm always being escrow for little gambling shenanigans I run; I was just assuming there was a chance of more new comers wanting to play and not knowing who he was and would want a more well known "escrowy" type of person on the forum.  Not to mention Ric is South African... his interest in participating in anything associated with American Football is probably the same as me being interested in participating in a gambling pool for a Cricket match.

I'll put both you guys down for ten squares, plus 10 for me as well.  Hueristic, I still got you at 2 squares, but if you want more just let me know.  That goes for anyone else wanting to play from here forth.  If everyone is still ok with Jwinterm being escrow, I'll be talking with him soon in order to get a pool wallet set up and will provide the information needed to go ahead and in their moonertos to the pot.

Look at it this way, this is more than likely the last time we have to have an escrow with full trust in said escrow person... multisig soon™.

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.
...

This sounds fine to me, it's not like we are trying to generate a random seed for a genesis block of a trusted system. Cheesy

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

Any interest in having a winner each quarter?

I was thinking of this too and agree.

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.

Interesting... hmm, I'll leave that up for everyone as well, either way it should make watching more interesting.

(roughly quoted here)
Quote
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

What does everyone think of this?  Then maybe I can just randomly generate numbers for the X and Y somehow and so that way when someone wins everyone can be rest assured that it's truly just the luck of the draw.  If we are doing it this way then we can set the deadline to enter before kick off just long enough for 100 blocks to go through and allow enough time for us/me to go through it and assing squares to everyone.

Also, how much do people want to set price per square?

Sounds good, if I can get my btc back from coinbase and grab some Monero's in time I'll buy some squares. Teach me to try to pull out when BTC was 17k thinking I could get back in with M0ar! Cheesy

I would like to lock up 07 and 70 for now.

Also JW is fine for Escrow again or cAPSLOCK, both are trustworthy and .02 sounds good.

Ok sounds good... just know that "locking up" those spots doesn't mean those spots are guaranteed to have the same numbers associated with it.  I'll put you in those spots in the mean time though Smiley

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

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. Tongue



Your supposed to post that meme after I don't get them! Doh :^)
