Lets bump this topic again Wink

I edited rule §6 to distribute more prizes Smiley

Quote
§6 The winner (the one who was closest to the actual date) wins all the tickets. If the winning date is at an equal "distance" of 2 guesses, the jackpot will be split amoung them.
The person on the second place wins 50% of the mBTC paid for the guesses.
The person on the thrid place wins 25% of the mBTC paid for the guesses.
If the jackpot for the first place was split, the person on the third place will receive 75% of the mBTC paid for the guesses.
If there is an ex aeqo for the second place, they will both receive 37.5% of the mBTC paid for the guesses.
I keep the remaining 25% of the mBTC paid for the guesses.


Current prizes:

[1] 70 mBTC
[2] 4.644505 mBTC
[3] 2.3222525 mBTC



edit: note that the original rule was that I received 100% of the mBTC paid for the guesses Wink
This should be an incentive to guess again! If you get the second price, you get almost half of your ticket back

before the crash, we came really close, but no gold parity...

Will we hit it soon, or will we need to wait for more weeks or even months?

Hi all, hi dnaleor!

I'm the owner of todays vote. Seems like it's not a bad bet, although this being saturday, the market might be slower as in workdays.
Wish me luck!

And dnaleor, regardless of the results, make another interesting guessing game like this Smiley

good luck!  Cheesy
we are very close now! BTCaverage was already >1150 USD. Target is 1252.50 USD !!!

and yes, considering other games, but with a few adjustlents:
*lower ticket price (maybe 0.005 or even 0.001), but I need to think of a way to "shorten" the date then...
*maybe a rule that guesses need to be posted 5 days in advance or something?

What do you guys think?


I was thinking to set up a new game for the 10000 USD mark Smiley (or, if there is enough interest, 5000 USD also)



edit: if it happens between 20:00 and 00:00 GMT today, I will not be able to post it here and celebrate with you, because I need to go to a party... But just wait 12 hours and you will get your prize Smiley


edit2: I found a way to lower the ticket price and still be able to put the guess in the date:
if the ticket price is 0.001, a guess would look like this: 0.00113365
This means year 2013 day 365 (31 december)  Smiley
!!! do not use this method to post guesses for this game. The rule of the first post need to be followed !!!

I'm not entering a guess or trying to win anything.. but it looks like it will happen in the next hour.

All i can say is WOW! That happened pretty fast.

we use bitcoinaverage.com, so it will take a little longer than on gox Smiley

Although I said I would not change the rules, Bitcoinaverage changed their charts, you can now see the 30min price:
https://bitcoinaverage.com/charts.htm#USD|averages

So we will use that also Smiley

The earliest guess (2013-11-26 by 1Mwbsy6g2fR1DMe1AhDcCeU8Wzoz9NRS6Y) was wrong, but he still has a chance to win. If it is today or tomorrow, he still wins, because those days are unclaimable due to rule 2.

Exciting times Cheesy We broke the 1000 USD barrier, so now the next significant level is Gold Parity !!! Cheesy
