Any chance of cashing out what was on my account when the site went down? (Or better yet anyone who had a balance) Seems to me that shutting down shouldn't be a valid excuse to claim everyone's outstanding balance.

According to the ToS which you have agreed, players can request a withdrawal if their balance exceed 1 BTC.

Players who were eligible for the withdrawal at close moment can request it by sending me private message with their username, password and payment address to receive Bitcoins.

i see that thank you

also your site is rejecting bids

it said that the bid must be a minimum of 0.018 so i tried to make a bid for that amount and i get a red box saying that the bid must not be less then the same amount i just bid

Amounts are represented as float numbers, so there may be an error with comparison.

I tried to fix this bug, if a message appears again, just add some insignificant value, e.g. instead of 0.15 bid post 0.15000000001.

Ok what the Hell I made a deposit and that transaction has already gone through 4 of 6 confs and it has still yet to show up in my account, this needs to be corrected or ALL btc in my account needs to be refunded ( regardless of minimum withdraw amount ) and here i have been talking nothing but good about your site to all my friends

It was a notification service's BitPing problem. I credited deposited amount to your account.
Sorry for inconvenience!

I think the site is down, what's up? Does anyone knows something?

It is a problem with my hoster. I called support but they don't respond (now it is night in Latvia, most probably admin just sleeps).

There are absolutely no reason to worry. I have backup of the wallet.

Sorry for inconvenience. I hope server will be up again soon.

Rules of game were changed. If you make a bid less than 1 minute before the auction closes, it's close time will be automatically extended by 5 minutes.

Reserve price lowered.

I think it will decrease factor of chance and make this game more skill-based.

Making bids yourself (which no one could detect) would be easy and pure profit for you.

Rules of my auction differs from standard penny auctions and as I wrote before, I have no incentive to cheat. My reputation worth much more than few Bitcoins stolen from players!

Are you joking? There is completely the possibility for the owner to cheat.

The owner can always submit the last bid, keeping the prize for themselves and taking everyone else's bids.

At first, all bids are public. Also I have no motivation to send fake bids. I have other legit methods to prevent loss: a reserve price and first bid limit.

They only benefit the auction site owner, and everyone else loses.

Tell me please at least one casino in the world where players have positive expected value! House profit is included in the game rules (e.g. "zero" sector on roulette) and it is not a cheating. My game is not an exception, just another form of gambling, but more skill based and interesting. You can read rules here.

His objection (I think) is not that you have an edge, it is that it is unknown. Making bids yourself (which no one could detect) would be easy and pure profit for you. I don't think it's 'wrong' to run a game like this, but no one ought play it, there are better gambles for sure.
