Topic: PonziDOGE... this naugty shibe started a transparent ponzi game - page 9. (Read 13055 times)
I'm not positive I understand, but if you're pointing at a transaction in the blockchain that won, but appears to be late, then I can answer that one. The time you see on dogechain is when it makes it into the blockchain, ponzidoge works off the time the transaction is seen on the network (0 confirmations). I say that because when the round starts, a few second later and you'll see a whole buch of deposits, there's no way it is checking the blockchain if it sees things that quickly.
winner out of time?
Whats with #41-#51 getting paid while #14-#40 don't?
Thanks for troubleshooting it, I think I can improve the clock a bit then. Just give seconds left to the countdown timer... would probably be alot more reliable.
Yep so the problem seems to be on client side because of javascript browser ... countdown implementation.
Will try to see if possible to send clock time directly to client over socket or something like that.

I can't believe I never thought to verify if it was an issue with my pc's local time, I just set my clock back a few months, and sure enough:
I'll just do a windows time sync thing before a round, problem solved for me at least.
doge started 10 seconds early again. It was spot on for 2 rounds after I reported it before, but after that they start up early. sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes 15. I keep reloading at the 1 minute mark so I haven't been screwed because of it, but I'm just reporting it.

25 out of 28 paid!
I'll post about it, I don't want to keep posting the links, it feels like spam. I hope they don't get mad at me.

Strange problem... because we use server time and give it to Javascript to display.
I thought it was cloudflare caching so we disable javascript caching.
Not really sure what it is ... will investigate. For sure the issue is with java-script processing and it can be on your browser.
Also,
Can you post the link to the the bitcointalk litecoin thread in /r/litecoin
I think the 14 day long ponzo with low limits has high potential!

Goodl old #dogeoin #ponzi http://ponzidoge.com starts in 1 hour and redesigned #litecoin ponzi http://ltcponzi.com starts 15 min after.
It sure served as a good learning experience, so you have ideas ready to go if ponzidoge gets the same problems when that eventually fades. It boosts confidence if you state you will cancel rounds if there's not much activity, then nobody feels like they might be the only "investor" and just automatically lose.
PonziDoge
Doge is rocking like usual so we are going to keep rocking it like it was!
Why fix something that is working good!

Litecoin Ponzi News ( http://ltcponzi.com )
We lowered the maximum deposit to 3LTC and the returns to 110%. This way out of 100 equal players 85 will win!
We are also going to run the LTC for 14days just to give everyone a fair shot! Lets hope it works!
If the game is under 5 players in first 5 minutes we cancel it and refund everybody minus the transaction fee which is .001.

Since there is no interest in LTC ... we will just keep running DOGE....
Aw dude whats this, only 2 players? 
I'm the winning one, but still!
We need that insurance.
edit: Oh I see you cancelled it, GOOD. That was just embarrassing.
Considering how few there were, I'm not sure if even lowering the max deposit would have helped. I'm not sure what could save it, another really long round? That might not even help.
One last thing, if you set a rule like "if less than X deposits", people could just break up their deposits into small amounts to sort of get around it, so maybe it needs to be smarter than that. Or just call it manually like you did instead of posting a rule, and just state somewhere that you might cancel and refund everyone if it looks bad.

It looks like someone beat me to it so I just upvoted and commented.
I despise being anything that resembles a shill, but we're not being dishonest at all so I don't mind helping promote.

I would post myself but ... reddit does not allow if your posts get downvoted... no shill since you play the game yourself and win!
Its pretty simple if some one is stuck waiting for payout on the end they can post in chatrooms or forums/reddit/twitter and get unstuck ad long as they tell people that they would have to do the same and there is risk involved

Looking at the last rounds, doge was about 2.5BTC, ltcponzi was 2.2BTC, but doge looked healthy, and ltc looked sad.
Maybe if less than 10 deposits, regardless of amounts?
You could lower the max deposit on ltc like you did with doge, I think that helped a lot. Not this round of course, its too close to the time to make any changes.
