Dangit. Thanks for the info!

You just payed for 11 games. You had to send 0.109 to pay for 10 games and 10 bribes.
or 0.119 to pay for 11 games and 11 bribes.
0.009 is a special bribe - you get max(nr of games submitted, 9)

What you can do right now is to send another 0.019 and you'll pay for 1 game and 9 bribes.

I send 0.11BTC, 10 games and 10 bribes, but I guess that doesn't work, right?

Fixed it

That sounds very logical and acceptable!

If you go to your rat and keep your mouse over Unpaid, you'll see a popup with some explanation.

In short, you automatically get paid after each game if your winnings are greater than 0.0102.

I do this because i could not figure out how fees work. I know in theory and i read the original work of Satoshi Nakamoto, but i am using the blockchain api for this, and could not find how do i compute in advance the necessary fee so that the payment will not get suspended in the air for a long time.

So i decided to always pay a minimum of 0.0005 in fees for all outgoing payments. Because the game survives only if the people are kind enough to throw a 0.001 bribe i was afraid the fees will be to great for me, and that's why for each of your payment you'll get with 0.0002 less as collateral for the fees.

For you 0.0002 is negligible but for the game a 0.0005 for each transfer adds up.

a few games went on and still not getting paid
please check 1CasperDEhyGD81WNPo9qkaFnWxUSWmrqk

I see there is a min pay of 0.01

How and when do you pay out?

I noticed a bug, if 2 games takes place in the same time, they are displayed in the reverse order.

This is only a display bug, i will fix this tomorrow when i will be more awake.

I have done that.
I acknowledge the pay at 0 confirmations but you are set up for games only at 1 confirmation or more.

I suggest you also posting to gambling section for more people to dump coins in it
Perhaps you should consider the confirmations.0 Conf is dangerous

Hello everybody,


The more i dig into bitcoin and related crypto currencies the more i realize this is the future of humankind.
I'd like to be a part of this fascinating movement and help spread it and make this world a better place.

I started playing with blockchain API because that was the fastest way to learn about transactions and how bitcoin works in general.

I programmed a game and called it SatoshiRat, inspired from a game from my childhood.
No login required, your address becomes your rat.

You can access it at http://satoshirat.com

Story
You are in a prison and together with your fellow inmates have thought to catch some rats and train them to run in races.
Each time your rat runs in a race, it will get some exp and gain levels. Higher the level, higher the speed and more races it will win.
The rat is actually your bitcoin address you use to enter the race.

How it works
You must use a bitcoin address that you can receive back the payments. You have to send BTC0.01 to take part in a race. After 5 rats gathers, the race begins. All BTC0.05 gathered in the pot are then split accordingly to the place your rat finishes the race. I don't keep anything all winnings goes back to your rat.
After each race your rat gains some exp, tires a bit and gets some damage. You have to wait some time to heal and rest before taking place in a new race.
If you do not want to wait(and if you appreciate my work and help me develop further, maybe even litecoin functionality) you can add a bribe of BTC0.001 to your payment.

Your rat also gains a new level when enough exp accumulates, gains +1 speed per level so it will have a better chance to outrun the other rats.
