It's always best to use plenty of gas, I believe it only uses the gas necessary, so it's not like you lose money.

Thanks for the advice. Say, how can I see the required amount of gas needed to execute the contract (dapp)? Just asking, because I wouldn't want to send more Gas than the amount required.  Smiley
The mist wallet makes an estimate, in geth I don't think it's possible. You don't need to worry about that, though. If you send 500k and the contract only needs 300k it refunds the extra amount.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if the transfer fails you'll lose all the gas used. If you're sending money to the contract I think it can only fail because of the lack of gas, or if the block gets discarded by the miner, but if you try to execute a contract function with the wrong value or without the right permission it will also fail, so in those cases it's best to use less gas (they typically don't require much gas anyway). The mist wallet protects you in some of those cases too, not letting you execute the function.

I'm gonna lock this thread and make a new one in the right section, since I can't just delete it... I have no idea why it got moved here in the first place.

I see a new 800 finney transaction so I guess you figured it out. Where were you trying to send them from?

Yes I have finally figured it out. Turns out that I wasn't specifying the required amount of gas for the contract to execute. I was trying to send the ETH from Geth. Now I have been able to send the 0.8 ETH (yesterday) I was planning to deposit.  Smiley

I have tried sending 0.80 ETH to the contract address specified in the OP, but I get an error message when I check on a block explorer that contract execution has failed?  Huh

Screenshot:




Just in case, here is the TXID: https://live.ether.camp/transaction/0ceb26f7248dc537edc35b3d73e694d4679f0ba78d9471dc742b437069d8e79e


Am I doing something wrong? Please help, as I don't want to lose my ETH  Sad

This is a very interesting ETH Ponzi game. I have found it myself useful, especially the payout multiplier which makes payouts faster due to the fact that the lower the value the faster the ETH payment goes to your wallet. I will give this a try and if I achieve good results, I will gladly share my experiences here.  Smiley

No worries, I like to do things myself. I'm keeping it simple this time. I just need to create the header of the page and upload everything to the server, so the website will be live tomorrow.

Speaking of that, I should redo a small website for LittleCactus. Do you know any free hosting provider/tool I could use for this ? (not an expert here  Roll Eyes)

i liked that old cartoon where there was a carrot on a stick and the animals went after it

the concept is very funny  Cheesy
Thanks, that was the goal, to have a contract that doesn't take itself seriously, while being actually better than others Cool

The website isn't finished yet, having a hard time putting everything together (the coding is already sorted out for the most part, it's design I'm struggling with). I guess it should be ready in 12~24h. I don't like to release half-assed stuff. Stay tuned!

If the design is the problem, maybe you could get some help in fiverr (Usually they only charge $5 USD per design).

The website should be ready tomorrow; it's a shame I couldn't finish it in time for the weekend. Anyway, the community seems to be sleeping... hopefully that'll change if we can get listed on the dapp directory once we have the site.

Ether price has been dropping a lot, so the cost of joining is quite low now, while the potential rewards are great Wink

duster is there any simple quick way to calculate that? to see where in line you are and how much before your payout? also for greedpit? thanks
You can use the Mist wallet as stated above, or wait until I finish the website (1-2 days, I'm a bit slow).

Not that I'm aware of at the moment.  I'm keeping extensive notepads full of indexes and deposit values and tallying them up with a calculator.

For Rubixi I modified WealthRedistributionExperiment's ZeroP viewer, these are the results:
http://rubixi.comlu.com/

I'm sure the same could be done for [ETH]STICK.  In fact, this contract exposes a lot more information, so an even more detailed tracker could be built.

I'm not jumping on the project because I believe Katatsuki is already working on some kind of web interface for [ETH]STICK.

So far deposits totaling 591.514 Ether plus corresponding bonuses have been paid out.

Anyone who enters the queue now will be in line behind 159.44 Ether in deposits waiting to be paid out.

Given the reasonable multiplier and extremely low fees, this is still at a sweet early spot in this games potential  Cheesy
