Add a button that lets the player donate the prize to you.

I'd let you keep a price now and then if I could.

I'd prefer to keep it fair and simple. Just use the donation address if you're feeling generous.

In other news, I'm planning on implementing a referral system that rewards users when other people break a crate as their referral. It would mark a certain visitor as your referral once they've requested a payout under your referral link. The referred person would continue to give you referral rewards even if he/she didn't use your referral link to request payouts, as long as he/she doesn't use a different referral link.

Nothing ready yet, I've still got a few things I need to check first.

Just tried a couple of times to break a crate, but all I got was a page with the text: "Fail #4"

I used BTC address: 1MAnAx5m1bCJXKicCv3o2puaFaN61zET2

It means 24 hours hasn't passed since the last time you broke a crate. It could mean you are trying to access bitcrate.net/start.php directly, which you should not do.

Nice to see the service is working. I've requested my first payout.

New web host has been found and everything will be up and running like normal when the domain has propagated.

EDIT :
Everything seems to be up and running correctly.

Okay, I have really bad news.

WebHostLayer, the current web hoster of this site is going down May 14th 2012. I bought a half year worth of hosting, so I'm obviously pretty annoyed by the situation, made worse by the fact that I have no chance of getting a refund.

I'll try to make the switch to the another host as painless as possible.

If you have the port 80 open it'll detect you as a proxy. It's possible for me to whitelist you if you provide me your IP address.

EDIT:
I have changed the way proxies are detected.

Same proxy issue here, a bug I guess. Never ever any problems with that.

I've been having the same issue as Kingkatari for quite some days now. On two different computers (2 different IPs), on both Chrome and IE.

So. I figured (off using a .001BTC winning) that I could make ~$.15/month playing every day.

If I deposit with Pirate (+ middleman fees) each month @ 28% (and we exclude the first month), then after the first year of depositing with Pirate, I would have $12.58.

Next year, still including the $.15/month, I would have $255.91.

The year after that.... $4,962.60

.... The year after that.... $96,003.22

... Year after that.... $1,856,984.92

Yep, using BitCrate, in 5 years, you can be a millionaire. Dare to dream.

(P.S. next year, you'd have $36m)

Transaction fees are not really important at the moment, as miners will accept pretty much anything, no matter how low transaction fee it has.

be careful on that. I've had a 0.7BTC transaction take 2 weeks to complete through only spending 0.0001 as a tx fee when the satoshi client wanted 0.025.

I solved the transaction fee problem. Apparently settxfee() sets the transaction fee per kB, not per transaction.

First round of prizes have been paid out!

Looks like it added a whopping fee of 0.602 BTC against my wishes. I'll most definitely go bankrupt soon at this rate.

I just read something that I hadn't known about -- from the Bitcoin Wiki:

Quote

As of bitcoin 0.5.3 the required fee it will ask for will not be higher than 0.05 BTC,

I think you might have a bug. When I break a crate, the page telling me the amount says that I need at least 0.0025btc before it's paid out.
After trying it two times, I received each 0.001btc I won to the same address in two transfers.
Perhaps you can add an option so that a user can check his current balance and request a transfer if a certain minimum is reached?
I would not mind leaving the coins I won in your care until I request them

Oops, I don't have such a limitation at place at the moment. Removing the incorrect text.

I just added a rarer prize.
The point is that I can't just pay out bitcoins indefinitely if I don't get any back, and running out of bitcoins during the first week and having to close down doesn't exactly fit in my plans.

I am not certain, but demand MAY increase if you pay out more than half of a penny. Just a guess.

We've missed you, Sherlock!

He pays as much as he sees fit/can afford/wants to. If you don't like it, you're not forced to partake.
