Bitguess - Play to Win BTCYea. Cheesy name. Sorry, didn't want to dwell too long on the name. Anyway, how this game works is that it's based entirely in the forums. There's no external website and I'll try to be as transparent as possible.
Here's how it goes... Ten players each contribute 1 mBTC to the Pot - namely, me - and then each race to solve ten puzzles. The first person to post all ten correct answers in this thread will win 9 mBTC. The last mBTC goes to me for me to watch it sit in my wallet forever. The last mBTC will be used to pay the miner's fee, so don't worry - you'll get 9 mBTC and no less. If you get any less due to my mistake, I'll top it up for you.
Don't trust the Pot? I suppose if it's the community's wish I don't mind using escrow, but then I'm afraid the reward will probably be cut by 0.5 mBTC to 8.5 mBTC. I have to say though, as myself knowing myself the best, I don't scam. Trust me.
