Hello,
For some time I've been working on a small project of mine - a simple and (hopefully) unique game. Let me present you
BitPoint How it worksYou start of by buying a point in the field (by clicking anywhere). Each point costs a small amount of BTC (the cost per next point increases for each point, if first point costs 0.005btc, next point will cost 0.005+0.005btc). The bitcoins from each point is added to the jackpot. Each day at midnight UTC a random point is selected on the field with a certain radius. Every point inside this radius is a winner and will split 70% of the jackpot amongst them. 20% of the jackpot goes to the next round and 10% to me (the jackpot number on the frontpage already takes this into account and that is the actual amount that will be split!). If no one wins, 100% of the jackpot goes to the next round.
Please noteI can't take responsibility for lost bitcoins but I will try to work something out if something goes wrong, except if you accidentally sent to wrong address, I can't do anything about that. Please make sure you send to the correct address listed after you confirm the points and to send the correct amount. If you happen to send the wrong amount or to send to an old bitpoint address (an address is unique to every purchase), it will be logged in a table, but you'll have to contact me to get the refund.
Points are confirmed once 2 confirmations is in on the transaction. If you don't pay for the points within 2 days the order will be removed. Please don't try to send a payment to the address after this.
There might be bugs with it, if you find anything please contact me either here on the forum or on the email listed on the about page. Include relevant stuff, like transaction hash for missed payments or what you did when it bugged out etc.
Current settingsFieldsize: 960x500
Point cost: 0.005+previous point cost for next point. Example: 0.005 + 0.01 + 0.015 if you buy 3 points.
Winner point radius:
25+125*2^(-0.08x)px where x is number of points
Round time: 1 day, ends at midnight UTC
Jackpot split: 70% to winners, 20% to next round, 10% to me (galaxyAbstractor).
I need feedback on this about stuff that isn't working, what might need to be changed and such. I made this mainly for fun and to learn, so don't expect some serious large winnings
.
Who am II am galaxyAbstractor, a computer science university student from Sweden. I like to code and game with friends, and I mostly spend my days at the computer (wow I suck at introductions, this sounds so generic lol). I've been interested in bitcoins for a while, I found it a couple of weeks after it's released but removed it as I didn't understand it at the time (I'm an huge idiot
). When I found it again in 2011 I was obviously angry about removing it the first time, but oh well who would have known. I used it for a while but got bored once bitcoin crashed down to $3 or something and recently got interested again. I don't really know what more to say. Also, I'm not a good designer, the site design started out decent but went a bit downwards after a while
