Works fine on free play for me, and ironically was using my ipad to watch the bets because it worked on mine.

Animation doesn't work on my computer, latest chrome. But otherwise, great site. I'm the one that has filled almost all the recent bets, the address starting with 1PYNS.  Wink

Works with:
Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m
and firefox and IE 10

Did you test Free Play?

Only browsers I know have issues are iPad (free play works, but real does not) and Android.

PS - we have increased the max bet to 0.5BTC.

Pretty nice! I would fancy a more real-looking bouncing of the ball though. Is there a html5 physics engine out in the wild?  Wink

We have now reduced the fees (0.0001) for smaller bets (<0.1).
This will allow you to try us out without incurring large (0.0005) fees on small winnings.

Obviously this will mean your winning bets will take a bit longer to confirm.

Also please use the second address to avoid us cluttering the blockchain with tiny payments when you lose.

My final two bets of this sequence are #1098 and #1099, both currently pending, both hovering just to the right of the 1.25x middle payout spot.

The secret for those 2 bets was revealed.  It's e982e81737fe7c0eb576b1775d632d133a10e6615b698a70cf89f1b20178509d.

bitaddress.org tells me the "Public Key (130 characters [0-9A-F])" for that private key is:

049B27A6245C19C10C067FB1271F1DF747FC36036EA2142375E11A935C2652F0E61640E9FCDC46D 59413C49AE76817A0960CA40F68269502BC8CF7BB0FB30F5A21

which is the same as the pre-published public key quoted above for 2013-04-09.

So checking with the Python script:

My first 3 bets are numbers 967 (lose), 968 (win x2), 969 (pending win 1.25x).  I'll check the provable fairness once the day's secret is published.

The secret was revealed as a689fc22681c15a8cc5330e0c15445a54153208772067dbf95d328ebfa7e620e.

bitaddress.org confirms that the corresponding public key is 047...159 as quoted above.

The modified path.py script I posted recently confirms that the payouts I received were correct:

I've been asked to 'audit' this game by its owner.  He's given me 0.5 BTC and asked me to place 5 bets of roughly 0.1 BTC each over 2 days, and to verify that the game is indeed provably fair.

I'll be betting 0.08 + 0.09 + 0.10 + 0.11 + 0.12 = 0.50 BTC.  3 bets today, and 2 tomorrow.

In the interest of not polluting the blockchain too much, I'll be sending my bets to 1GRWQA3wLGL9i5aW371Nd1HnF4QaBNEGxG which disables the 1 satishi payout when you lose.  Not that I'll be losing any of course, but better safe than sorry...

Those tests didn't work very well due to the site having hardware problems just as I was placing my bets.

I'm going to try again.

This time I'll be making 5 bets again, as follows: 0.098 + 0.099 + 0.100 + 0.101 + 0.102 BTC = 0.5 BTC.  3 today 2 tomorrow, as before.

Just to be open, we have changed our payout policy. We still payout 99%, but if you win we subtract the 0.0005BTC transaction fee from the payment. This is the same policy as SatoshiDice.

Sorry for this, but currently bets under 0.05 cost us money due to the low margin we operate on. This change will mean that we only lose on bets under 0.025. We do not want to prevent small bets, as we know this allows people to try the site and gain confidence that we are honest.

Here's an improved Python script which tells you your payout multiplier as well as the route:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import hashlib, sys

payouts = [0, 10, 0, 5, 0, 2, 0, 1.25, 0, 2, 0, 5, 0, 10, 0]

if len(sys.argv) != 3:
    sys.stderr.write("usage: %s privkey txid\n" % sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(1)

# This is the Private Key from the Bet Details page.
# This is only displayed the day AFTER you place the bet.
private=sys.argv[1]

#This is the hash of the betting transaction (Tx Hash on Bet Details page).
txhash= sys.argv[2]

digest=hashlib.new('ripemd160',hashlib.sha256(private+":"+txhash).digest()).digest()
path=""

pos = 14
for i in range(0,7):
    if (ord(digest[0]) & (1<        pos -= 1
        path+="l"
    else:
        pos += 1
        path+="r"

for i in range(0,7):
    if (ord(digest[1]) & (1<        pos -= 1
        path+="l"
    else:
        pos += 1
        path+="r"

print "For Private Key  : "+private
print "and Transaction  : "+txhash
print "the path taken is: "+path
print "payout is        : %sx" % (payouts[pos/2],)

I am almost too embarrassed to show my face!

Just after I sent dooglus an email asking him to test, the hard disk failed on the machine it was running on!

I recovered onto another server, but there were numerous issues.
1) The backup was obviously a day old so was a bit of fun ensuring we did not "double pay" anyone.
2) There was a bug in the recovery code when we would return zero if you lose so those were stuck in pending.
3) It has been running on a bit of a duff machine all day and seems to have stopped processing at some point.

But we are now back on the original machine and working on moving to more resilient one.
Anyway returning the bets that lost and did not come through as expected:

Mine is pending too, I think I lost as well.

In here you can see the path: http://www.pinballcoin.com/betdetails?betid=234

EDIT: Except the last one isn't shown!

All 14 are shown in my pending bets, but I'm guessing that's because the daily secret for those bets has been revealed.

I sent my 4th and 5th bets:

0.11 BTC: #231 89004a2f7ea6d91b63479f63a498cfdb423b15050b3eb4642a569c1d7ca43c8a
0.12 BTC: #232 3a8d4879ae4c4502af922c25ae1f7edc4168eaa719cb2c08a10de0428a693289

Again the bets are hovering one step from the bottom, even though bet #230 went straight to its final position.  What does its status of 'initial' mean?  This should be explained in the FAQ.  Also, my bets show up with 'return amount: 0'.  Does that mean they lost?



Edit: both these bets seem to have won:



the payments appeared in my wallet too:



Now I have to wait until some time tomorrow (what time does the secret get revealed?  In what timezone?  More FAQ fodder...) to confirm that I should have won, and that the site isn't cheating itself.

While I find it hard to tell the icons apart, the two bet transactions each have 2 confirmations, and the two payout transactions each have a single confirmation.
