Thanks Instamatic,

Alright did a major update to the site yesterday, here's the changelog:

- Chat Box! We got mini games planned for it too stay tuned!

- Few design tweaks and changes
- Main /bets page can now be fitered by closest deadline ("Last Chance")
- "Popularity" sort updated -> Rank = # Bets + 0.5*(#comments) + 0.5*(#follows)
- Rounding extended to 3 decimals for bets > 1 BTC of volume
- Display of 'Hosted Volume' (profile, hosted personal, hosted public) now accurately reflects based on what the hover over says.
- .png uploads with transparency now work
- New techy back-end things - should notice some performance increases site-wide

Hey all,

We will have a planned maintenance period tonight at around 11pm for roughly 30minutes.

BetMoose.com will not be available at this time.

We're getting a super awesome chat box!

Hope to see you shortly after.

Love,
The Moose

Glad you like it!

And thanks for your support!

Alright some updates! We actually rolled these out yesterday but I forgot to post about them here

- Markdown added for outcome descriptions and determinations! You can now make line breaks and your text won't be all jumbled up in those boxes!

- QR code deposit under accounts
- Fixed the Rising category to auto-update and load in when moving between the tabs on the /bets page
- FAQ updates and added an introduction to explain the site to new users
- Some graphic improvements
- Filter fixes for some sorting combinations
- Payout emails - you will get an email when your bet has settled
- Fixed a payout front-end display case where you can have a multi-optioned bet that ends up with an outcome no one bet on
- More minor tweaks and improvements

Please let us know if you have any suggestions. We're currently working on a site-wide chat box and activity notifications; as well as streamlining the FAQ.

keep up the good work. nice design

in a few weeks you willl have 10 pages+ of bets

Glad you like it! First week in the public hands; lots more coming soon!

Will hopefully post that semi-big update tomorrow; we're just dealing with some sockets and server stuff to make sure we stay as secure and reliable as possible.

Nice I am enjoying my status as top predictor ha-ha

To be destroyed by that 0.6 BTC bet settling the Bitcoin price at 610 over the weekend Tongue

Got to love the coding keep up the good work

Thanks to Bitcoinist.net for the feature;

We also have a lot of new new improvements/developments being tested right now on our demo server, will hopefully complete them by tonight. One teaser: Markdown formatting is coming to the bet pages - you'll finally be able to make line breaks! (and bold, italic, etc!)

I have couple of questions about this .

1. Who decides what is a winning bet ? For example in bet i hosted at the end of month i decide if winning bet is YES (if pd comes out) or NO (if not) , i see a couple of problems there, first i can easily fix the outcome , so lets say even if pd comes out before end i can say it did not come out and let everybody who bet NO to win.

2. I put outcome day at end of month , coz that is when we will see . But what if pd comes out tomorrow? Then i would need to stop the betting right away and everybody who bet on YES to win. I dont see the option to stop the betting before outcome day i setup . (im i missing something) . So then when pd comes out lets say tomorrow people will bet on yes and cancel that bets on NO . It will not be fair ?

Hey Micro,

Good news; both questions are in our FAQ! I've linked and re-pasted them here for you;

The host decides the winning bet but you should read this:
1. https://www.betmoose.com/faq#hosting6
Why won’t the host just choose whichever option he wants?
Hosts have an incentive to choose the correct outcome as they get a commission from the total bet pot, as well as earn reputation levels. If they choose an incorrect outcome on purpose, not only do they lose a reputation level, but also forfeit the commission. We have a strong verification system in place from both our side (BetMoose moderators) and the bettors themselves - who have 24 hours to submit an ‘incorrect outcome’ report.

(In other words, if you choose the wrong outcome; the bettors, us, or someone passing by will just report your bet This is what makes BetMoose unique - our distributed 2-tier resolution system!)

2. https://www.betmoose.com/faq#resolution4
What happens if the outcome comes true within the specified time period but before the outcome date?
Please report this as “Outcome is known” and specify when you knew it as well as the source for verification. You should also post in the comments to let others know. We will resolve and payout these bets early. Any bets put in after the outcome was known will be returned.

Hope that helps!

Yes that answered all my questions , tnx and u menaged that much better than i was thinking . Sorry i was being lazy and did not read FAQ

- Bunch of other minor tweaks and improvements, including some annoying CSS glitches for our IE users.

This looks really promising! Can definitely see myself throwing lots of coin at this.

Are you planning to add a chat box? Would be funner to stay on the site and catch up with news and developments.

Thanks for your help with alpha, Gloom. A chat box is currently in the works and is up on our demo server. You'll see it soon enough!
