The update to the latest server version is done. Now we have to watch the fees. If the server really uses 0.0005 btc in most cases we have to update our fee calculation, too.

The vary is the transaction fee.

I tried to calculate it as good as I know, but sometimes the server takes 0.01, sometimes 0.02/0.03 and with the latest server version sometimes only 0.0005. BUT only sometimes! I can't see any way to calculate it exactly. I tried to calculate the blocksize in kb, but the result was mostly way larger than the server really used.

Actually I calculate with 3% transaction fee to be on the secure side. But in 99% that value will be lower than the standard 0.01 fee. And so the standard fee will be used. But, as noticed -> in some cases 0.02 btc transaction fee will be used.

We will see how the new client 0.3.23 will handle the fee's. If it really takes only 0.0005 btc, I will rewrite the fee calculation.

If someone knows how I can calculate the fee exactly, please post it. There was a thread in project development. -> http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=15002.0

Kind regards!

Ok.. so I just won.. Kind of wondering though, 170% of .40 would be .68BTC, but I only received .65BTC.  .005BTC admin fee +3% transaction fee should have only been .0188 BTC

Just wondering where the other .01 or so BTC went to?  Was it pocketed, or was it paid as a transaction fee?

@Bitlotto: That seems to be a nice idea. I don't know exactly how to do it, but I will figure it out.
Great! Using the method you will never be accused of weird odds because the person picked the number ultimately at the end and not your software. And since you said what 1-100 all would be before they picked, hashed it, then showed what it was after they picked. No one could accuse you of cheating. It's completely fair. Do you get what I mean or did I explain it weird?

You would pretty much show a hash when someone picks a number from 1-100. You would probably have to change it though so that first they make the payment and once it's confirmed the user can then select a number and instantly know if they won. If you did the number selection before the payment the user could accuse you of dropping payments for ones that would have won...

Maybe it was no good idea to allow higher bets than 0.1 btc.

Should I set it back to 0.1 or max 0.5?

To avoid further imputation please bet only 0.1 btc!

Good night for now!

@bitblazing: What are you talking about? Maybe you are drago, who lost 3 times. Sorry man, I don't cheat and this is no scam. If you don't trust me please go a play on other sides. And of course there are other players who win higher amounts! The highest bet to date was 1 x 2 BT, just for peoples interest.

Hmmm. Well if he adopted my method it would prove he's not as he wouldn't be able to cheat. What are the numbers?

I thought of a cool idea for your lottery that will allow the users to interact more while at the same time proving you can't cheat. (I don't think you are!)

Have your program create a list of 1-100 with the outcomes randomly with each number. Eg.
1-lose,2-255,3-lose,4-jackpot,5-180,etc all the way to 100. After 100 have Random-987skjhckjh8 (bunch of random data)
Then hash it.

Now when the user plays they can pick a number 1-100. While they are picking they can see the hash. After they pick use the list to figure out if they won or not. You could display the list so they can rehash it to verify. Each person has a new list made. As long as you have some random data in it no one can know what it contains until after they pick!!

That would pretty much guarantee you can't manipulate results and lets people feel like they are picking!
I think it would be fun!!!

No, I take a system fee of 5% = 0.005 btc

There is no Jackpot Cut, but the payout will only be 90% of the jackpot. As you can read on the website:

»Why only 90% of the jackpot? Please be so kind and leave some profit for the next player!«

At the current rates it's no project to get rich for me.

But you can see that some players get some coins without the jackpot:

12. Jun 2011 15:03 h   bmwministyle.co.uk   win: 0.698 btc   
Bet: 0.28 btc   Rolls -> Win: 96 • Jackpot: 87

So you don't take a cut of the jackpot?  This is just for fun for people with bitcoins?
