Yes, there is a way to see complete history, it's all stored in the database. I just need to make a script that does that (will do).

As for payments, I just checked the payment log and every single payment has been successfully sent out so far... Maybe you could provide some additional info, what did the advertisement say, which receive address did you enter?

I don't know which receive address, because i have some in my wallet which aren't labeled... but it was approximately #1200 or so I think.

I think I paid 0.1 btc per bubble for about 10 of them.

Is there some way we can see the complete history, including burst bubbles?

My first few must have burst as I can't see them in the list, however I haven't seen any payments come in to my wallet for them yet.

In the FAQ, you outline when the timer for the jackpot changes, but you start off with "100 BTC". Do you mean to say "100 BTC and lower", or is there no change between "0 BTC - 200 BTC"?

How many days on average do you expect each game to take?

There is no change between 0 BTC - 100 BTC, as soon as we reach 100 BTC it will be changed. That said I will be making some changes next round (not this round, to be fair with whoever invested I do not change the rules in a round).

The changes will be that the timer will decrease possibly on a daily basis and cost of participating will be adjusted up so that it will be more costly to do "jackpot hunting". That will help push people out and reduce the odds slightly. Right now it cost you 0.01 btc to try and win 33 bitcoins. That won't keep the game going fast enough.

As for how long this round will last I have no idea, but on avarage with the new rules implemented I imagine maybe 3-4 days on avarage.

How about rotating banners from advertisers at the top of the site? The more bubbles you buy, the better your odds that someone will see your banner.

Great idea, I have added rotating ads weighted on spent amount. The more you have spent in the bubble, the more likely your advertisement will appear. If you have not entered url and/or banner we will display a default advertisement (operation fabulous).

I changed the class from "advertisement" to something else, please let me know if AdBlock still blocks it.

Working for me now. Thanks!

you may want to think about shortening the time until jackpot (it's currently 10 hours, but I haven't seen it go lower than 9 hours, 56 minutes.)

Maybe, I was thinking about it too, but the game seems to have calmed down now and the jackpot is currently under 6 hours.

Anyways was amazing how fast it moved yesterday, jackpot even tripled to 27 btc! Great fun

EDIT: Heh, figured it out. You might want to rename your "advertisement" column... I'm not sure how, but AdBlock was blocking it in both Chrome 11 beta, and Firefox 4.

I can confirm this.

Because of how quickly this is moving, you may want to think about shortening the time until jackpot (it's currently 10 hours, but I haven't seen it go lower than 9 hours, 56 minutes.)

Fun idea, and it's moving fast now Wink

If you arrive to the site through a referral link (mine), the links at the bottom to view anything past the first page break though. And I'm not seeing the advertisements either.

No, nothing will be added to the bubble before payment has been received. Once payment is received your advertisement will instantly be added to the bubble with no waiting. What is considered received depends on mybitcoins definition. It seems that they approves payments instantly without confirmation even for bitcoin (at least small amounts).

Weird, I saw it, in fact I even played a round of dart using your link Tongue

Maybe it could be a browser error? Please let me know if this continues.

Hmm, well, if you say so.

I wonder... if my transaction hadn't been confirmed, would it have waited to display the advertisement?

Very neat! I like the twist on the lottery from other existing systems.

EDIT: The advertisement functionality appears not to work. I tried to use my Bitcoin Darts affiliate address and the title "Bitcoin Darts". My ID is "QrwGD" and there is no advertisement.

Hi, glad you like it!

It's not broken, it's just that you have been bursted. Check your mybitcoin/bitcoin wallet, you should have received your money back with profit

Err, I have bursted now, but at the time it wasn't displaying my link. Tongue

Just to make it clear: When your advertisement is bursted out you will receive 150% of your purchase money back. In your case, 0.04 btc * 150% = 0.06 . At this point your advertisement will also be removed since it is now bursted. In the future I will probably add the possibility to view bursted ads as well.
