If there are less than 15 players in a contest, the contest will become invalid at the end of the contest and the cubepoints will be returned to the players which they can use for other contests.
So you return the cubepoints but not the actual coins?For a site with very few users, does not really instill confidence: I'd suggest you to actually return the coins, instead. At least until you get so many users that contests being canceled will be unlikely.
Also, since you have so few users, diluting in many contests doesn't make any sense: just hold one single contest at a time.
Adding more altcoins would be more of an advantage to the players. For example, a player can buy cubepoints with FLAP and play other contests rewarding any other altcoin listed.

The contests will not be extended even if there is 1 player and 1 submitted score. Since there are no players at the moment, I'm extending the contests. Once members start to take part in the contests, more contests will be added for the same altcoins which are completed. If there are less than 15 players in a contest, the contest will become invalid at the end of the contest and the cubepoints will be returned to the players which they can use for other contests. My goal is to add new contests everyday with more players participating. Before adding a contest, I'm checking the games myself to see if there is a bug in the game. I started doing this after a bug was reported after the first free contest.

Contests extended by another 24 hours.
I'm concerned by these arbitrary contest extensions.If I'm winning and you just decide to "extend" the contest, I'd be pretty upset...
Unless there is some problem such as a downtime, you should never do that.
Instead, if you "extend" them because the players were too few to complete the contest, you should reconsider the contest rules.
(for instance, instead of random arbitrary extensions and contest expirations, you could say that a contest is over when it reaches X players, and that after a given date any player can decide to abandon it and you reimburse him the fee)
Finally, which measures do you use to prevent cheating?

My arcade gaming site Just An Arcade has been taken down by the webhost Hostgator due to bandwidth issues. This is the message I received from Hostgator.
I'm working on it right now and the site will be down till Hostgator feels that the site does not affect other customers in the same server.
The best solution would be to move to a dedicated server as soon as possible. I would be grateful if you can donate something to move the site to a dedicated server at the earliest.
You can send your donations or lend some (send me a PM if you would like to lend) to the address in my signature. The altcoins currently used in the gaming site are QQC, USDe, DOGE, APC, CGA, FOX, RON and more coins to come in the future. Once the site is up, the first to do on the list is automated purchase of cube points with listed altcoins.

Hello,
Unfortunately, we were forced to disable the script "/home4/jayguar/public_html" as it was causing high loading issues on the server. Due to this affecting all of the other accounts on the system, we had to take immediate action for the health of the server.
We noticed that this is a WordPress blog, and recommend a few different steps you can take to prevent this issue from recurring.
First, try to reduce the total number of active plugins on your blog. The following types of plugins are known to cause high resource usage and should be avoided:
- All related posts plugins (WordPress Related Posts, YARPP) can cause significantly high load in most cases.
- WPRobot3 and other auto-posters can also cause high load issues, and should be disabled if they are causing issues
- StatPress and other wordpress statistics software should also be disabled, as these too can consume too much CPU in certain cases. Use Google Analytics instead for statistics as well as Awstats which already comes by default on your account.
- WP Post Views is also a plugin that you'll want to avoid as it causes significant resource usage.
- Any other plugins that are not vital to your Wordpress should be disabled.

New contest added with Foxcoin rewards. Win 4000 FOX.
January 28, 2014, 07:22:05 AM
I see few members are confused on how to take part in the contests. Here is a detailed explanation to play the contests.
Members need cubepoints to join a contest. As of today, members can buy cubepoints with any of the following altcoins (APC / DOGE / USDE / FOX) and 1 cubepoint costs 5 APC / 100 DOGE / 50 USDE / 20 FOX. Members can play any games without cubepoints by just clicking on Play Game but your score will not be added in the contest leaderboard. Only if you click on Join Contest, you will be able to take part in the contest and cubepoints will be deducted from your account based on the contest requirement. You will get an error message if you do not have enough cubepoints to join a contest. To buy cubepoints with the above listed altcoins, go to http://justanarcade.com/forum, click on Post your transaction IDs here link. You can see separate thread for each altcoin. Click on any of the altcoin threads to see the corresponding payment address. You can pay in multiples of 5 APC / 100 DOGE / 50 USDE / 20 FOX. I would suggest you to buy more cubepoints which you can use for future contest instead of paying and waiting for each contest. After making the payment, post your transaction ID in the same thread. After manual verification, you will get your cubepoints within 12 hours, normally much earlier. During weekends alone it might take 24 hours. You will receive a PM when cubepoints are added to your account. To play the contests, go to the home page and you can see all the active contests on the right side. Click on the contest you want to play and read the instructions of the game. Then click on Join Contest. You will see a success message. Now click on Play Game. Again, click on Play Game. Play the game and submit your score. You can play the contest game and submit your score any number of times without paying again since you have already paid for the contest. You will have to pay for the contest alone (only once) and do not have to pay for the game play. In the game page you can view the contest leaderboard to see your progress. After submitting your score, refresh the page after the game loads again to see your score in the leaderboard. If you need more clarifications, please post in this thread and I'll be happy to answer them.
I've also updated the same info in the OP.
