All running TAABL games seeded with 10 bets each! The BTC bets took a long time as the transaction failed to be included in a lot of blocks (but then again it had no fee attached).

No Pick will find a winner as long as there is a single transaction placing bets, regardless of the number of bets, so the seeding by itself will not be matched until new bets come in.

And of course, good luck!

The original Bitcoin lottery is back!

And though it didn't go away in the first place, there was no actual public interest shown during 2014 and we didn't push for it as there were a bunch of backend changes that we wanted to get done, but now that much is complete and we're back in business.

For those of you that played in the previous version of the lottery, the changes are subtle; no more paying dust values to the bets that didn't win and the crypto currencies supported have changed.

For everyone else;

The Amazing Anonymous Bitcoin Lottery (TAABL for short) was the first automated bitcoin lottery, one of the first bitcoin games and almost certainly the longest running game in bitcoin history.

The rules are simple:

 - Choose your game amongst the available crypto currencies, currently supported are BTC, LTC, NMC and DRK. From here there are multiple Pick sizes, and these differ in the number of characters that need to match on a block hash to become the winning bid.
 - Place your bids by sending funds to the address advertised for the game. Make sure you send from a wallet you control all addresses for, as the winning bid address is taken from the sent transaction address.
 - Wait for a block to match a bet on that Pick, hopefully it will be one of yours Smiley

 All the details about the game can be read at How To Play.

 We have seeded all BTC games and will proceed to seed all the other currencies too, to make things a little more interesting.
