I wonder if this is being tested for people to go up against each other betting btc and the host just takes a fee for hosting because that is genius!

I'd love to play, but the ping is pretty high for me Sad

Could I know your location? Because I am worried about the ping too! I guess the ping should be under 100 in order to play properly?

i think that the rewards for single players should be lowered and the prize for the team players should be increased. Anyway this is a great idea from the thread starter. Cheers!

Very noble idea. I think that you should add some ads in order to get some profit too. In this way you can make the prizes a little bit higher (although they are fine now!).

I prefer not to have Ads on my website. I might setup a donation address in the future however I think I can handle the CE game's bankroll for now.

Did I miss the signup? (too many people before me?)

No in the above post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5843513 you'll see "Open spots". Just confirm which ones you want to play.

For this time only I'll make an exception to the rule and allow players from the Team Slayer match today to play on the Sunday Bonus match.

you need to have the game halo ?


Yes you need Halo CE. Any version of Halo CE should work on the server since I configured it to work with all clients (except the Demo trial).

If you need help finding Halo CE visit http://www.halobc.com/join-game.html for more information.

Fun games tonight, felt good to play some CE again. Confirming I did get paid by the way, which was a nice  bonus. Solid server/connection, hope to play some more games soon. Would be nice if Blood Gulch and/or Snipers were added into the rotation in the future, and maybe a pistol start on Battle Creek instead of plasma pistols. Still, ran excellently for this being the first day of this being up.

I'll look into having a custom game of pure Sniper Rifles, Pistols , Shotguns, and Assault Rifles.

If you're paying out of pocket for the rewards, how do you make any money?  Paying out the rewards and the server costs without a fee is crazy!  unless you're a generous benefactor.  =D

This is an awesome idea! I don't understand how you can fund it though. You aren't giving away that much money, but it will add up over time. I came to this thread expecting it to work something like everyone buys into the game and winner takes all.


Like I said I get satisfaction from bringing joy to the BC community especially us Gamblers! Cheesy

I'm not rich but I'll maintain it enough to get decent rounds going.

Madz was the best player tonight he was payed more than 0.0008BTC (His payout proof is below).




Total of 5 payouts to users who participated tonight.

I have started http://www.halobc.com in hopes of bringing some joy to the Bitcoin community.

For a full tutorial on how to join the game please visit http://www.halobc.com/join-game.html.

Summary : In short you play against others in either Slayer or Team Slayer matches on Halo Custom Edition. I figured instead of gambling I can put my money to better use by hosting/funding a dedicated Halo CE server, Ventrilo server, and a server bank roll for the matches.

Because the server bankroll is funded out of pocket you don't need to spend any Bitcoin in order to compete.

Game Play : The Slayer match provides the opportunity for players to win 0.035 ฿ (Only one person can win the bankroll for this match).

The Team Slayer match allows the winning team to win 0.025 ฿ divided amongst themselves equally.

Hours of Operation : The server runs 24/7 however Bitcoin matches only take place currently on Saturdays.

The Saturday matches begin at 7pm eastern daylight time and ends around 8:45 - 9:00pm.

Payouts : After the match has ended payouts are sent.

Fairness : In order to prevent aim bots I have installed server addons to detect aim bots. I will also compete in every game to make sure no one is cheating. When I compete in Team Slayer and my team wins I will ask the losing teammates to choose a number from 1 - 10 and whoever answers correctly gets my cut that way I do not profit per game. If I happen to win a Slayer match then the winnings will be sent to everyone in the game (except for me).

For full information on how to join the server visit http://www.halobc.com/join-game.html.

Sever Specifications : All servers are ran on PCI express SSDs along with Intel quad core processors for an optimal gaming experience (hence the low ping values). The servers are also DDoS protected to provide 24/7 up time.


If you would like to have "priority" access to the upcoming server matches reply to this thread. Matches are first come first serve unless you reply.
