I'm not sure about having the odds get worse the more I bet.

That encourages me to split my bet into 10 smaller bets to get better odds.

I slide the fee like that so I can offer larger wagers than I'd want to take if the fee was flat.

Splitting your bet up does help me since you are not likely to win (or lose) them all and so my variance is less and I can invest less capital.

When I load up the wallet everything should be about 10x bigger (and maybe more later on). Meaning 10x higher caps and the same odds for 10x higher wagers than currently. Hopefully in less than a day.

It just told me: "Hash or timestamp has been tampered with.
To keep things fair, games are only valid for 2 minutes, please generate a new hash."

I didn't tamper with anything.

I did hang around longer than 10 minutes though, looking at the odds it offered me.

I'm guessing the 2 minute limit is to prevent me brute-forcing the hash to find out what the number is.  How about making the 'junk' an extra character or two longer, and having the games valid for an hour instead.  2 minutes arguably isn't long enough for a new user to find their wallet address, copy it into the form, get familiar with how the site works, decide what numbers to type into the boxes, etc.

And instead of making me click a link to "generate a new hash", how about just generating a new one right there and then.

Also, I keep having to re-type my wallet address.  The input field isn't remembering the one I used last time, like input fields usually remember things.  I keep having to go back to my wallet and copy/paste it each time.

Oh, and where's that dime you promised me?  Wink

The (?) after the hash at the bottom of the page is underlined, making it look like it is a hyperlink.  That caused me to click on it, which in turn prevented the tooltip from popping up.

It appears that I'm meant to just hover over it, not click it.  Removing the underline would help prevent people clicking on it I think.
The string that was hashed for me was:

Code:
bw4lv6Q8B52012-06-11 23:56:548930

I would suggest putting spaces in there between the junk, the date, and the guess, just to make it more legible.

Thanks dooglus. Keep it coming.

Please give feedback! And ask questions if anything is unclear.

Is 9999 'within 10 of' 0001?

ie. do the numbers wrap around?

Numbers do wrap around.  Bitcoin transactions are checked once per minute, so it may take a minute to recognize your payment.

Edit: I can answer that now.  I lost my bet, with "Guess: 3536, Number: 8930, Distance: 4606, Max Distance: 3536".

8930 - 3536 = 5394
13536 - 8930 = 4606

So they do wrap around - the reported distance is the shorter of the two.  It would be worth mentioning that (more prominently, if I missed it).

I sent 0.05 BTC, and guessed 3536.

I'm clicking "After you pay, click here to see if you won!" but the same page keeps coming up over and over.  Is it waiting for confirmations, or did something go wrong?

Edit: it took over 5 minutes to let me know if I won, but did eventually tell me.  "Guess: 3536, Number: 8930, Distance: 4606, Max Distance: 3536".  I lost my 70.71 shot...

It says the game will be valid until Mon Jun 11 2012 22:56:54 GMT-0700 (PDT) and it's currently only Mon Jun 11 21:03:06 PDT 2012, so it's valid for almost 2 more hours.

I'm assuming I didn't win? How do I get notified of a win/loss?

A few seconds after you pay, click the refresh link.

Myriad offers flexible bets. You enter the amount you want to bet and the amount you want sent if you win and it offers you odds. You can accept the wager by sending payment.

The max bet, win amount and effective fee (lower odds than 'fair') depend on how much is in the wallet.

We're testing with real money, but a smaller wallet for now. Because the effective fee is determined by the percent of the wallet you are trying to win the fee will be higher now for the same wager compared to after the wallet is fully loaded up.

The games are cryptographically provably fair. We use sha256 to hash [junk, timestamp, our guess] when you first hit the site. After the wager is completed we reveal [junk, timestamp, our guess] and you can check that the guess is the one we committed to at the time you came to the site.

Since wins are determined by how close your guess is to ours you don't need to worry about how we select our guess.

Please give feedback! And ask questions if anything is unclear.
