edit: another bucket fell, still no payment

Hi pheaonix, thank you for reporting this! I will reimburse you manually, and I am already at work trying to prevent this problem in the future. Due to an wrong coding, Satoshi buckets can't find the return address.

Technical details: I'm using the change output to find the return address. This doesn't work when a transaction doesn't have a change output, like this one. So now I have to look at the script signature to find the return address.

excellent thank you Cheesy

This issue has been fixed! As this transaction shows, your bet was processed as normal, once the fix was implemented.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I don't think setting a lower minimum is a good idea -- the transaction cost starts eating up all of the bet. Right now the minimum is around $1 per bet. I don't think that's too much.

The Goat Master, send me a PM.

Cool idea man.
I think a more proffesional design will atrract more people to place bets.
Also, you can make the minimum even lower

I can do graphic design for you. I'm not very established on the forums so I can do it for a low price.
(it's a win-win, you get a low price and I get more rep on the forums!)

Just a heads up. I changed the minimum amount per round requirement. Now it's only necessary for there to be ฿0.01 in each bucket for a round to be triggered on new block. This means that, at this exact moment, anyone betting on the green bucket has an expected payout of 120%.

Did you code this yourself? Pretty cool!

Yes! I learned a lot about using bitcoind and about web development! Thanks. :-)

Hey everyone, I made a new Bitcoin betting game. Here are the rules:

There are three buckets: red, green, and blue.
Put your coins in a bucket. Minimum bet is ฿0.01.
Every round (~10 minutes) one bucket falls.
The coins in that bucket are distributed among the backers of the other buckets.
The buckets that did not fall continue into the next round.

The three buckets are:

red (42% chance to fall): 1RbucktdB7agZuX1qdjce4PYbURRaezc7
green (33% chance to fall): 1GbucketpG4rHKict89wWGJLhM1jD9RCac
blue (25% chance to fall): 1Bbucket59CEs93UrZDKeDJ9cETxFEm9xE

You can see more information at Satoshi Buckets. My recommended strategy is to bet on whichever bucket has the highest long-term expected value. (Click on the link to see the calculated expected values.) This game is provably fair! It also doesn't cause blockchain spam, since rounds happen at most once per new block. Try it out!
