What happened to the prize? It was at like 190 BTC yesterday. Now it's at 170 BTC.
You beat me to it before I could make a post!

As shown by the amount 25.2918117 was weird.
I was contacted by that person and they had a "copy and paste clipboard brain fart". They meant to send the amount to someone else but had the wrong address in the clipboard.
That amount is being refunded to the sending address. (I can't send it back to a different addresses to prevent anyone trying to scam me.)
I was excited that someone else other than Otoh was making a large payment. We should be able to get back up there soon though!

Thanks. I'll just leave the slogan alone then.

It's the same person who called lotteries an investment there - I'd worry more about their grasp of English than yours, it's perfectly clear

Someone on reddit mentioned that "99% payout of funds!" makes it sound like 99% of what a person pays is won back.
I may not be the best at English but isn't it clear from my slogan that 99% of funds received are paid to the winner?

It seems clear enough to me.

yep all except the 0.25 1CXmKcBy2w8sNxvmyPQZQPVbAn2ZFeDmB one are mine, some I entered for a friend who I'm making a charity for but as they don't even know about it as yet & it's all my money or what I'm gifting to her then it's all fine by me
Interesting! GOOD LUCK!I've updated the page. That person will still be 1 single ticket in a group so it should work fine. Thanks.

they effectively offer the equivalent of what second or third place prizes would, a lower prize but with more chance of winning one but also don't adversely effect the Jackpot for a single winner either, win/win
Agreed. Rather than splintering the amount that would be wagered among multiple jackpots, this is a bigger jackpot with options for those who wish to substitute higher payout for a greater chance to win.

personally I'm for always allowing larger payments & then you just chop them up in to 0.25 tickets in house & allocate them to the pool until it fills then to the next one etc, seems simplest to me but I may have missed something about why using only 0.25 ticket tx are easier, I'd go for consistency across the site unless there's some clear advantage to do it this way

that was also me who sent the 1 BTC to try out the pools for a friend - I then sent the correct amount for her in 4 quarters, I think that the pools are a great invention because they effectively offer the equivalent of what second or third place prizes would, a lower prize but with more chance of winning one but also don't adversely effect the Jackpot for a single winner either, win win
I was wondering if that was you! LOL. You always seem to test what happens when people make weird payments! I have been thinking that perhaps I should change it to any multiple of 0.25 just like the main draw address. If they make a larger payment they should know they will likely show up in one group of 10. So a payment of 1 BTC means they will be grouped with the other 1.5 BTC.
Or does the rules as is make it a little more simple? (If someone wants to make multiple payments it wouldn't take long since it's less than 10)

yep, as promised that was me, already plenty enough for a BFL Single or for that matter a plane ticket to just about anywhere in the world

Look's like someone (probably Otoh ) bought 404 tickets!
About 150 BTC is up for grabs now!!!
Looks like there has been some activity in the pools too! Looks like someone sent 1 BTC to the pool that takes only 0.25 at a time. Ooops. The hash to make all tickets for that pool will be: 3b11a5be6db66fa610778ebabfcb489b615866b23933eca1176a75f839a650d2 (IF the bad payment was indeed the first hash to be sorted in Block 179967, it would have been ignored. I'll make sure to add a note in case it ever happens in the future)

32 BTC so far...but that 100 BTC payment from Otoh should be coming soon...
Were pretty much growing at the same rate as last month.
Remember, one of the nice things about a raffle style lottery, is that no matter how big or small the jackpot, it's always a fair deal, because your odds of winning scale perfectly for the jackpot size.

? ANY none 0.25000000 payment?
Was that supposed to be "non-0.2500000 payment" ? Or "any payment amount other than 0.25000000" perhaps?
- http://bitlotto.com/pool.html
Also, affliates are still around, there just aren't any in effect right now?
Ooops fixed. Was that supposed to be "non-0.2500000 payment" ? Or "any payment amount other than 0.25000000" perhaps?

Someone could still be an affiliate. I just haven't had anyone interested yet. I'll add it again to the site...probably.
Thanks.

Thanks for the compliments! This was something else I whipped up. I just hoped it was better than the last one.

Who is your hosting provider? You and bitcoinadvertisers.com were both down today. Wondering if you're both on the same plan.
Yup. Seems like everything is good now though. May 06, 2012, 07:23:40 PM
new design ~ nice!
