Hey 
I told you this game would be a hit.
Kind of surprised that I didn't think about the refund properly.

I'm going to stop working on the countdown timer until midnight but that's when the game resets. In other words, that's how long I have to perfect the refund code.
AHH! lol

If you haven't read my post right above yours I am trying to work out a way to at least give Some of the money back.
I'm thinking about taking the pot at the end of the game, finding out what percent of the money goes to who and I take a 2% fee from each person.
(Math is still a work-in-progress).

Fair enough.
Though you should at least work it out in a basic spreadsheet and see that depending on how the betting goes, people could be getting back very small fractions of what they put in.
Also there should be a countdown clock until reset.

Well there ya go, paid out that quick. I think I will play again with winnings. Thanks OP. btw when does this game end?
Roughly midnight, then the game restarts.What time zone are you in? Just trying to calculate time left.
I'll add it on the front page (how much time is left before game restarts).

what happened to the refund?
(for those of you that don't realize it, there can be no refund in a game like this unless OP wants to pay out of their own pocket. By it's nature the "last entry" gets eaten up paying out the entries before it.)

Yeah, my most recent bug was found when a new game starts.
It's suppose to send everyone who didn't get doubled their money back, but their was a flaw.
I think what I'm going to do is:
((Amount in Pot)/(Total Amount Unpaid))/(Total # of Unpiad)
I'm still working out the rest of this (such as the weight[amount] per person).

And another entry
I do like an automated one, as it leaves no room for someone accidentally forgetting to add soemthing to a spreadsheet. (Although bugs could be disastrous).
edit: And more!

would bring in 1024 BTC (that's only about 16.800 USD at this time)
Made my heart jump a bit. I read that as 1024 BTC was worth 16.80 USD! LOL.

I'm about to start manually pushing out payments.
Sorry about that automation.
[Edit]: Looks like the code is fixed up, and people are getting paid out!
If anyone would like to confirm their payment, that would be good.

Just interested, how any lines of code are there?

returnfile(when you pay) - 183
pay.php - 32
failed.php - 3
success.php - 5
faq.php - 49
newgame(cron file) - 109

I've entered two of these, hopefully at least one of them actually pays out, then I break even
I just noticed I left out the bank balance variable to check to see what the pot is.
I just added it in there.
No money is lost or gone, just will take another people with at least 0.1BTC to pay the others out.
(I should probably setup a while loop to check the bank).
Actually, yeah...I'm going to setup a process to push payments if the pot is big enough (which is it at least for the first two people right now).
You've made yours too complicated. I like the google spreadsheets the other two guys keep, and I like the one btc address so we can track on the bitcoin explorer site. Keep it simple and people will play.
The SCI I use doesn't send the back the address of the person who paid. It just sends back "Bitcoin P2P Network". June 17, 2011, 05:59:54 PM

Well, I entered for .1BTC, we'll see what happens.....
Btw, a countdown or time showing when the last round started would be an idea? Of course this could potentially stop people from entering later in the round I guess...

BUT this guy has no means of reaching him whatsoever - no contacts on the site nor on his profile.
I will be sure to add contact information!Thanks for remind me.
What if it becomes more profitable to simply shut the site down and keep the last poolee's coins?
I don't see how it could be more profitable than leaving it running.[Edit]: Contact information added to front page!
