@magician / Venetian - please add http://chancecoin.com/forum/index.php to the OP.
Also, have you thought about the main problem which is slow speed of bets? - Bets are usually resolved in 2 blocks.
I know it sounds radical but I think moving to a faster block chain should be considered - Maybe Dogecoin  Shocked
I think its fare so to say their blockchain is secure and Dogecoin's block time is 1 minute as opposed to bitcoin's 10 minutes.
It will also bring ALOT of traffic and PR to chancecoin - Doge community is AWESOME!
(p.s: it's great so see the DEVs more active in this thread, it adds a lot of confidence in the project - keep up the great work!)
This is something I've been thinking about lately and will need to think more about. We're going to do something about it.

Wow... This would be a huge improvement !
That could make the bet about 10 times faster, right ?


Yes, but we can't host it, because it's illegal to host an online casino in the United States. However, there still might be some kind of decentralized solution.

Ok I understand.

Maybe you can check this website out. They were the ones who did great work for HyperCoin concerning MediaCoverage.

We are moving Chancecoin.com to a new host. The site may temporarily go down as DNS propagates. We're moving from a shared host to a dedicated host, so we can actually run the Chancecoin daemon on the server. This way the database files will always be up to date. We're going to make some changes to hopefully eliminate the sometimes long wait time at the splash screen during startup. This will also mean we can potentially host some live services on chancecoin.com (block explorer, faucet, etc.).

I'd say around the same time we release the new games, we should start pushing for media attention. Venetian and I emailed a few different sources (TechCrunch, Coindesk, etc.) a while back, but a lot has changed since then. I think when we're ready to do that, we should make a list of media contacts and a list of "talking points," and then we should all email all of these people. Sort of like with how we got on the front page of reddit and Hacker News, we should be able to "harness the crowd" to get the attention of some of these media outlets.

I just want to give a better sense of how much traffic these marketing channels can bring us. We are averaging 250 unique visitors per day, but when chancecoin was the top post on Hacker News, we had 5000+ unique visitors in 24 hours. We achieved similar amazing results from being one of the top posts on Bitcoin sub-Reddit.

We can bring much more traffic to chancecoin site and forum with your help! We want to start by getting on another exchange (for example, Bter) and get news coverage by one of the big guys (Techcrunch, CoinDesk, etc). Let us know if you can help Chancecoin in either getting on Bter or getting news coverage, especially if you have a personal contact or connection with them Tongue

Cheers,
Venetian

Mac wallet does not work. Is Chancecoin.jar file corrupted?

EDIT: It is necessary to download the latest version of JAVA.
After that, the application works  Smiley
Do you use VPN or any proxy? As I know that the connections sometimes dont work well and is better to use VPN.

Yes, I use VPN.

Any signature available that we can use?
Yeah, I know we had a couple of good signatures come out of this thread. Let's bring those back to life. TwinWinNerD, do you have a proposal for how we can do automatic payouts for people who use the signature? I know I got at least one PM from someone saying they could make a solution in exchange for a bounty, but I'm not sure if we need to pay a bounty for something like that. I'd even be willing to write up a quick script myself.

The automatic payout of Sharecoins and Thesmurfcoins were great (shitcoins/scams but great site). It was a website were you had to put your Bitcointalk ID to check the signature and you get paid only if you keep the signature the time needed. There was a history of users and time-left-count before the payout.

We should start working on the faucet sometime soon. I imagine this is going to have to be something we host on chancecoin.com, or it could be an external service. Or we could treat the gambling promotion as the faucet, or somehow merge them.

TwinWinNerD, how's the traction on the gambling promo? I'm still working on the single-player games, I'll keep you up to date. Maybe we can get more traction there once we have these "more interesting" games up and running.

I'd say around the same time we release the new games, we should start pushing for media attention.

Maybe it is important to make CHA as a profitable one just by keeping it.

IMHO, CHA should became one profitable coin to attract ppl to like to hold.

When CHA became a share-like coin, there will be more value added to CHA,so the price will soar.

Let us think about it.

Please Give some suggestions about the new betting and gambling functions added to CHA!!!

From magician:

Venetian and I are going to have a discussion about what games and betting functionality to add next, based on all the feedback we've received.
what's your favorite method of sports betting? what existing site is a good example of the style of betting Chancecoin should implement?
and for regular casino games (blackjack, roulette, pai gow, poker, etc.), which ones do you think are most important to implement?
I g2g, but if you guys get a chance to answer those questions, I'll check the responses later.

Football gambling first please!
I Agree - 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil start June 12!
If chancecoin will have an easy client this will be amazing opportunity

other from that poker is the most popular game and I personally also like blackjack (will probably be easier to implement)

(p.s: mightname where did magician say this? it's not here and not in the chancecoin chat).


Here is a new coin  with WorldCup2014 bet .
 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newb-newbiecoin-new-feature-odiiopen-data-index-identifier-based-on-block-625201
Newbiecoin , decentralized bet WorldCup +Twin-POB+POS, which is modified from the Chancecoin open source.
I had burned a little BTC for a trial,get some newbiecoin,wallet and bet game work fine.

+1. Why CHA no worldcup bet?

I just downloaded Newbiecoin and was disappointed to see that the "world cup betting" feature only allows users to bet on two teams: the winner and runner-up of the entire world up tournament. It looks like Newbiecoin is using a centralized feed fed by the developers to settle that bet - I'm not sure I would trust that and call that decentralized. Furthermore, the dice betting on Newbiecoin is reduced to only allowing users to bet on a 50/50 bet. The website newbiecoin.org is also almost exactly the same as chancecoin.com website. Adopting the chancecoin protocol or codebase is one thing, but this is a gross and blatant act of plagiarism in my opinion.
 
Just my two cents - this whole world cup betting thing is way overblown. XCP has an implementation of world cup betting xbet.io that functions and looks better than what Newbiecoin has in every way, but it had almost no positive effect on XCP valuation and no betting volume. You can't just make a coin with a main feature that works only for two weeks worth of world cup, does it just die after that?
I agree your first paragraph but dont agree the second. Everything is gonna die not only for coins but people and animals. So I believe world cup betting is a good thought which will engage more investors to the coin.
