It says my payment address is 1JfLkCMzzBobw9F4irAcnfrhUCMxb2JQtf and I donated .34.

However, my address is 1FSqPC6d5DTh2MhF14rkiDnKPp7MKzQgy2. I believe you have screwed up. please look into this!


That's due to blockexplorer, it does that. It's normal and you will still receive the payment, however if you feel more comfortable I will replace it with the address you have listed.

I think, in all multiply / ponzi games, the majority of people enter at the very beginning.

If you want more people to join, you need to get their entries up on the site ASAP, and pay them out right away, especially in the beginning.  The first 2 hours are critical.

Take, bitcat.ch, for example.  He gets a lot of people to re-enter because of the reasons I started above.  I know he's automated, and you do it by hand, but I think for those first few hours you need to be on top of it more.

I like the 1.4x you do (bitcat.ch's 1.2 is too low, in my opinion), and the minimum of .25 is good.  Maybe make the max 1.0.  Then some people would enter twice at 1 instead of once at 2.

Also, I would prefer you pay out exactly 1.4x.  So for a bet of 1, pay me back 1.4.  Take the fees / jackpot out of the money that goes in the pot.  That makes more sense to me, and makes the numbers more even.

So if I pay 1 BTC, you take 0.02 BTC for the jackpot, and 0.02 BTC for the game fee.  Put 0.96 in the pot, and mark my "Gets back" at 1.4.  Does that make sense?

You run a good game.  With a few tweaks, it could be a great game.
Good ideas! I will try it out next round!

Didn't some entires come in?  Why did 1qAtywd9GPqc4rHEpi3NU6ZhsdpuHmMhd switch from paid to not paid?

you didn't type anything ?
Sorry connection is bad I am on my ipod I said when I get back to my pc I will sort things out

ok, thanks.
Fixed and thanks to you realizing that I got to payout someone else!

You da MAN!  I like that you added the "Available For Payout:". also.

I like this because:  Say I am next to get paid, but the round is ending in a few hours.  I can recoup part of my bet by betting again, enough to trigger a payout to myself.  The "Available For Payout:" helps me decide if it's worth it to do this, and how much to send.

Plus, I'm all for more transparency.

Thanks again, TheBitMan.
I think people will not enter as much if the jackpot is that low. Do you think I should lower the min entry and then more people would join??

Do you guys think I should lower the minimum and take no fee from a  certain amount to get the jackpot going?
If so minimum would be .10 BTC and I would only take 0.02 BTC and put it towards the jackpot..

Maybe I shouldn't have coded my scripts based on MyBitcoin Grin
I give kudos to you, sir.

2 games I play used MyBitcoin.  Bitcoin Kamikaze and King Of The Mountain.  Both are down.  I hope the operators didn't have all their BTC in MyBitcoin, that would really suck for them.

It was a nice interface, and I didn't have to wait for confirmations like some other games.  Hopefully it will come back online and everyone can get their BTC out.
