Are you selling exclusive rights to the code, a license to use the code or the software copyright? Will there be any agreement that you can not resell your code to others or reuse it yourself? Will allow others with serous offers to audit your code prior to purchase? To be honest, the website very simple and the idea isn't unique.
- I'm selling exclusive rights to the code
- Yes, I will sign any non-compete clause
- I won't allow to inspect the code but I will make sure that everything is tidy and well commented

This sale is not only about the code but also about the traffic and the reputation of the website. After all, the site makes 15 BTCs / month.

50 BTC is a lot for:

Traffic
According to Google Analytics, traffic for last 30 days was as follows:
32,517 Pageviews
5,092 Visits
2,277 Unique Visitors

Any competent web developer should be able to match that in 2-3 months and reputations are built and lost very quickly in bitcoin right now. Good luck...

Everybody's free to build their own website that rakes in 15 BTC / month – or buy one for 50 BTC.

Should there be any other prospective buyers who did not contact me yet, please do so via PM. Thanks.

With Max's permission, I've decided this may be an interesting thing to crowdfund if a 50BTC gamble is too much for you. Here is a link:

Has the site got a history of DDOS attacks towards it? Has this been a major expense? When you said profits of 15 BTC last month, you mean discounting all the cost of running it as servers and bandwidth?
There's hasn't been a DDOS attack yet so I can't tell you anything about that.

When you said profits of 15 BTC last month, you mean discounting all the cost of running it as servers and bandwidth?

I'm paying the server in dollars and don't wanna mix up BTC profits with dollar expenses.
But I can give you some numbers. I just looked up the exact server costs for last month:
$44.64 M1 Standard Small (m1.small) instance
$14.93 Data transfer out

So all in all, it's $60/month for the EC2 server. But it seems this server is really oversized, have a look at last weeks CPU load:


I guess a smaller instance would be sufficient too.

I saw there is a turnkey version of this, is this the first/oldest bitcoin gem style game out there? Just wondering which one was first to market.
Yes, the bitcoin gem was the very first chain game, and it's the most successful one.
Code and design are uniquely done by myself.

Thanks for that, an important question:

I think posting some example PHP code would help your auction price, to make sure its good, clean code. I'll watch this thread anyway, I like the concept Smiley

I'm not sure what I could be posting without revealing too much.
But I guess the coding is not too bad since there haven't been any problems and the site is smoothly running on autopilot.

Give us a price you are willing to sell at, maybe we will get a idea then.
From my description:
Quote
My profits for the last 30 days were more than 15 bitcoins, so you should be willing to invest at least 50 BTC.
So, 50 BTC is the lower limit.

I think you have an auction for this where every bet has a 1.5625% chance of being reset to zero. Roll Eyes

In all seriousness, this is a good offer. Good luck with the sale!
