Yea that's strange, I bet on the cake earlier, no problem.

Wow, that is really odd. Never even seen that issue before so I'm not sure what it's about... I need to investigate. I found this though: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200171936-Error-520
And, it has worked for me and gordoh... I'm not sure how I can reproduce this properly so I can fix whatever the issue is. Are you getting this every time you try to bet?

Edit: I noticed the Ray ID, and I can apparently use that to contact cloudflare about it, so that is what I will do.

Oh, and also, I just saw someone sending 0.01 BTC, makes me really happy and wanting to secure this down even more as much as possible so you guys can feel safe about it. It's good that you guys keep it low for now.

Get origin error when trying to bet.

That, or just cheap hosting.

Awesome! It will be nice to start a cake with lots of people on it! 

Alright, so as you guys now can see, me and my new friend gordoh have been testing using real bitcoins, and after a small hickup that is now fixed, it all seems pretty stable. Now, what I would like to do is to get a few people in just so I can test a bit more with more users.

Here are 2 cakes we tested with:

So, is anyone here serious about helping me testing if I say gave you 0.01 BTC to play with? I was first thinking that everybody can get 0.01 no matter what, but to keep it more clean, I was thinking I give a few people 0.01 BTC (basically send it to your deposit address at btccake.com), and, you use that to play with. Then you are totally free to withdraw however you like.

This means that you play for free, and, you have a chance of winning more than 0.01 at no loss to you. Basically, you play using my money and then you can withdraw whatever you want. To keep it more interesting, you don't have to bet everything.

Edit: I can also update by saying I've been working on getting email in place. The testings I've been doing are working great. Will come live any day now too. Email will be used for password reset (reset, not recovery, as I don't save the password. Its hashed with a salt.). And email will be used for notifications and confirmations of withdrawing bitcoins too. Everything to make it even more secure.

I think I might try them later on actually. It's not particularly cheap using them so...

Definitely not your browser. Due to the sheer volume of business they get, I've noticed on other occasions they've been temporarily down. Usually not for long, though.

Man, I'm really getting fed up with external issues I have with blockchain.info. How do you guys use that service with different accounts?

Apparently, I have to pay a fee using the "move" command! That is just stupid. I will not pay for transferring between different accounts in my own wallet. Especially since that means you guys lose more than necessary. Using a local bitcoind it works more as expected, as moving between accounts, really is just an internal thing, and not broadcast over the network. Which is why it doesn't require a transfer fee.

Basically I have this:

account1 -> address1
account1 -> address2

account2 -> address3

account3 -> address4
account3 -> address5

Same account is just the same label. Now I can just use the move command, to move between different accounts at no cost. This is super handy and a much more robust way of keeping track of everybody’s money! And, extra security as if a user has money in their own account, they can't withdraw more than they have... if I had a shared account for everybody it could be messy. But, since I have different accounts for every user, I also have build-in protection with bitcoind when it comes to withdrawing money. Basically this separates users in a more robust way. And it's hell of a lot easier to work with.

Actually, check this: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5631/how-does-the-move-command-work

That is NOT how blockchain.info does it, which is a BIG issue for me.

Why do I need the move command? Well, that is how I transfer between you guys. Quick and easy. You basically have your winnings straight away!

I had the same issue, but now it seems to work.

Maybe its my browser

http://BitcoinPRBuzz.com No affiliation whatsoever. But if you want your gig to Go Big... This is how the Big Boyz and Girlz of Bitcoin do it.

I always try to give credit where credit is due.

I think I will announce here when I will test a promotion... I'm thinking to give away BTC so people can play and test with. And withdraw to your hearts content.

Thanx you for the recognition

It looks really good man.

And now you can see the last finished cakes in the Dashboard...

I want to publicly thank gordoh for helping me testing the site with me so we can make sure it's robust for the rest of you guys. It's looking really great so far, and really the main issues have been special treatment for how blockchain.info works.

Oh, and I just added the possibility now to edit your salt until time runs out for a cake! Making it even more difficult for anyone to guess the result, as anyone can change it like 1s before time is out.

Do you have any idea if it works? I never click those ads myself... But could be worth a try though, so thanks for the suggestion!

Haha, yea, the Simulator is kinda left behind and lacking. It's hard coded that user #1 and #2 bet on wedge 1, user #3 and user #4 on wedge 2. And you need at least one bet on both wedges. But, forget the simulator. It's not really needed. Maybe I improve it later.

Cool! A new yummy Cake. I put a slightly higher bet than you to make it interesting. I have a slightly better chance of winning, but can loose more...

I was just busy with a new cake and I noticed you have a results simulator. It doesn't make complete sense to me how that works.

It says:

user #1 bet     user #2 bet     user #3 bet      user #4 bet


My question is, in the field under each of these, do you put the amount they bet or the wedge they bet on? Also, shouldn't you have a field for both amount and which wedge they bet on?

and finally, shouldn't there be an option to add more  users to the simulator? Incase there are like 10 wedges or something?

Just something to look at

Edit:

I started a new cake, just testing this whole thing out properly so I know what im going into when the real money comes

Wow, thanks for the feedback! I hope you aren't too sad about loosing the play money... As I said, I can just give you extra PlayBTC if you want...

Anyway, things to do and think about for sure. I will surely do more of the linking stuff later, when a few people have tested using bitcoins for a while. I just want to make sure it's robust before the site has billions of users and it will be much more work fixing issues then.

Oh, and I just created twitter account at www.twitter.com/BTCCake

About emails, I like it this way where people who wants to be anonymous, they can be. The unique user url is quite impossible for anyone to guess, and you can lock it down with a password. So email is totally optional, but handy for recovery and notifications though (although that is not in place yet).
