Was that for the Round Thursday Game 2? Because it looks like you did, in fact, win that one after all.
Edit: Forgot to mention the site is back!
No, it was not the round Thursday Game 2. It was the round *No1*MEGAMASSIVE_POT.
...And I made my deposit 0.5BTC to your address 115zjX3F5wFwB2jJEPSWdaz9M5PAgDRRNy

But howewer, I did not win anything.
At one point early yesterday (my time), the Bitcoinduit alerter died and deposits were not going toward the proper destination. One of my partners took the site offline until the matter could be addressed so that more players would not send their deposits into a black hole, as yours was. I've already refunded two other deposits that didn't make it to the Round they were aimed at and will happily refund your 0.5 BTC to the address of your choosing, as well.
During the time the site was inaccessible, some Rounds expired. The last player to make a successful deposit to each expired Round won the jackpot for that Round. The owner of 1kTt7jVHZ614g44LEjS1HtxHYpzE96Lkk has been very active at Bitcoinduit, so it should come as no surprise that that person won some of the Rounds that expired while no one else was able to make a deposit. As far as I am aware, no one at Bitcoinduit either knows or cares where that player gets his/her BTC from.
I also think, and I assume that your server has been compromised. What do you think?
We have no reason to believe our server has been compromised. No coins have been stolen. The only thing that happened was that some deposits did not make it to the Rounds they were meant for and, consequently, some Rounds ended in a manner that was not intended. This was a glitch and it has been addressed.
So I lost [at least] my 9.82+ BTC jackpot,
and my interest in this matter due to
the fact that I created the round *No1*MEGAMASSIVE_POT What you lost was your deposit of 0.5 BTC and
your chance at winning the 9.82 BTC jackpot, as did everyone else who might have made a deposit while the site was offline. Just because you might have created that Round does not guarantee that you would have won its jackpot. You are mistaken to assume that you would have won if the game had continued uninterrupted. It is just as likely that you might have sunk more money into it and still lost. This glitch may have
saved you money.
Well, finally, my simple question is: What are you going to do about this?
I will gladly refund your deposit of 0.5 BTC to the bitcoin address of your choosing.
