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

0.08 BTC: #190 30d33b08fedc8d4f5f987838509a0a1efae33b21b2f16bda50d9785d0d371855
0.09 BTC: #192 69e62c58b3f6a9810c67c40c44ceef2e21d6c5a5d56d470b1179b63674eaa5e3
0.10 BTC: #193 3fb5024c93a5a3b8d3b2c3bd4bfb70c257b7ace0263ee1698b2324c7cf79f49e

Probably best not to ask what happened with #191; it's a little embarrassing...

My bets are currently hovering one row up from the bottom - presumably awaiting confirmation before I get to see if I won or not:



Edit: but the title of this thread says it's a "zero conf" game.  And one of my bets is confirmed now anyway but I still don't see if I won or not.  The site could use a 'FAQ' page which talks about how many confirmations are required.

Edit2: my 3 bets now all have at least 12 confirmations, but they're still 'pending' on the site.  I wanted to check the result for myself, since the daily secret is now revealed, but the description is a little unclear:

Then the 1st 2 bytes are used. If the bit is 1 the ball goes left if it is 0 it goes right.

The first 2 bytes have 16 bits in total, but there are only 14 decisions to make so it would be better to be explicit about which bits are used and in which order.  The Python script does so, but maybe say it in English too.

I used bitaddress to check that the published secret does correspond to the previously published public key:



Turns out all 3 of my bets lost (I modified the Python script to take command line arguments, and to tell me the payout):

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.

The relevant public keys are:

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...

Yes I am afraid that the pushing of the animation only works on desktop browsers (chrome/firefox).

We have updated the backend now so should be much more reliable. Just need a few more bets done and we will up the maximum and come out of Beta.

I can confirm that this works on iPad (iOS 6.1), safari browser. Falling animation and all.

Also, what would happen if we were to send a transaction without a tx. fee? Would the lack of confirmations cause it to not go through?

Does say beta for a reason!

Yes I was disappointed with this game. I have played twice and both bets I didn't get to see anything. The free money click did work though! lol

Looks like it has done it already.

Pending happens when some inputs are not confirmed. We are looking at changing this process in the next few days to avoid this as much as possible.

Hello. I sent 0.5 before readying your max bet. Although it was not returned.

Can I please have it returned.

I also have two 'pending' transactions. #82 and #83

hmm.. now I have 2 on limbo again, except these have been pending for almost 40 mins now.

Sorted. They went into limbo as the transactions had unconfirmed inputs.
They should have sorted themselves out when a block arrived but did not - should not happen again.

Worked fine earlier, but this transaction disappointingly locked up just as it was bouncing between a 2 and a 0 result.

It is still listed as pending.  Perhaps you ran out of entropy.

EDIT:  Incidentally, the transaction after mine went through as a lose, but mine is still "pending."  May be a quirk.

Sorry, the re-org has caused us issues!
Am working to resolve.

Have fixed. Part of the system got stuck for some reason and could not process your Tx (looks like we are in good company - blockchain.info is down too!).
I am afraid you lost, but sent you your money back so you can try again:
