I came up with an explanation for why I was seeing the weird results I was seeing yesterday: the site doesn't use blockchain.info at all to get its feed of new transactions on the network. Instead their run their own node, and watch have that report the most recently seen transaction when they need it.
They were only telling us "you can verify by watching blockchain.info" because that is *a* way of watching the transactions, not *the* way that the site uses. They were assuming that everyone seems the same transactions in the same order with the same timing, which obviously isn't the case. And so their system is further from provably fair than I previously thought to be the case. The site can simply pretend not to have seen a transaction which gives a result they don't like, and we can't prove otherwise.
He can't even do maths correctly.
I won't be surprised if he answer to you 'stop trolling' instead of a good relevant answer.
I mean, when there's 3 players in, their luck are 33.33% (which gives a total of 99.99% and cannot be 100%..) But, it's shown as 100% and they give a BONUS amount of tickets to the third player... (cheat & unfair?)
Well, to be fair there is no way of dividing an power of 10 by 3 equally.
Their client-side code which calculates the ranges has a special case saying that if any range ends with 9999 then set it to be 10000:
self.Participants.forEach(function (par) {
par.playerNumber = playerNumber + 1;
playerNumber += Math.round(par.percentage * 100);
playerNumber = playerNumber >= 9999 ?10000: playerNumber;
par.playerNumber += ' - ' + playerNumber;
});
You can always be the last player by being the last user to buy the smallest number of tickets.
Has anyone brought up the fact that it's obviously bots playing on his site 24/7, although they seem to be denying it?
I wasn't mentioning it because although it does seem likely there's no way of proving it.
Either way it seems that OP has abandoned this thread, and possibly the site too. The promised giveaway in the site's chatbox seems not to have happened, and the guy complaining in this thread about a withdrawal not happening went unanswered.
Least successful scam ever?Edit: sorry, that was rude. I'm frustrated that I spent so much time on this thread trying to help and it was all for naught.
