bitberau.
It was only a one round game, trying to see if can be some interest in this game, but no one is interested in it.
I'm working on a website with others games now.
I don't know if I will also add this game or not.

i think u need site for this games..

This is a game and not an investment service.
I will use an escrow to ensure you I will not run with your money.
Do you use an escrow when playing dices or others gamble games?

if we deposit can a third party escrow hold the funds? are you against that..

pawel777 thanks. I will try something else.

Jayce, it would was like a competition where you have to be fast and precise and a little luck .

Every raffle and lottery take the prize from players deposit but you will not call them ponzi.

how is this not a ponzi... anything with a deposit and the rate of return to be ridiculously high.. uh red flag.

unless you explain how you gain 150%?

I personally wouldn't. The game model isn't really attractive.

It's quite easy to be first. But even if you are, you're risking losing 2% if no one else is playing, or losing 1% if there are only 2 players.
You would have to guarantee at least 3 players to make it worthwhile.

Then again, if you see that there is already 1 player, you don't want to deposit too soon (so there will be no massive pot to win), and then you risk that:

1 your deposit won't get confirmed on time, you lose all.
2 someone else gets the last place, you lose all.
3 you get the last place, but since there are only 2 players, you still lose 1%.

So that risk is not worth the potential winnings, you'd be better off just playing on any dice site.

I like the idea of games provable by blockchain, but you should think of some other game structure.

 Are you interested in playing if I put 1btc to an escrow service?
Please tell me... I have to pay for that and I would like to know your opinion before. I'm honest. I'm not rich.

Patt0 You are wrong. Of course I can play but I have no more chanches than you to win as I can't manipulate the order.

People can see the transactions in the blockchain but it's easy to cheat anyway. You can deposit from many addresses in the beginning and just at the end to get most of the btc. : /

Thanks for your suggestions, I'm trying to contact an escrow from that list. So you don't have to trust me.

Yes, BTC1 in escrow is better than nothing. It will guarantee that you won't run with funds <BTC1.

Here's the list of members providing escrow services:

List is not complete, but I'm sure you'll find someone.

And if the game proves popular you will earn some reputation over time.

Your deposit will be split in 3 parts
49% to first players
49% to last players(they will be calculated after the round end)
2% is my fee (I will use it to pay tx fees to miners)
Sum 100%
What is your problem? There are also some exaples on how I will split the budget.
Please help me to understand what you can't understend.

don't insult my intelligence

according to your post

49% of your deposit will be used to pay firsts players(FIFO)
49% of your deposit wil be used to pay lasts players(LIFO)

even if english is not my main language, I clearly understood this. my deposit will be used to pay first players!

this is not a ponzi. Please google ponzi and verify yourself what a ponzi is. I'm not lying, rules are exposed, but, please tell me if you can't understand them. I will try to be more clear.
I know, I have no reputation, How can I start building it?

If can help, I can pm you my phone number or email.

I was not thinking about to use an escrow. Which escrow should I use? I have got only 1 BTC should I send it to en escrow?

Ponzi or not. If the rules are clear and everybody knows what they're getting into, I don't see a problem.

The real problem is OP being a newbie with no trust rating. I don't think anyone will deposit any bitcoins.

If you're serious about running that type of game, you need to either build up a solid reputation first or put few bitcoins in trusted escrow (as security deposit).

thats an interesting way to spell ponzi scam

do you prefer horses or ponzies?
It is a gamble/ability game!

This horse or ponzi?

a ponzi is a scam. This is not a scam game. 
You have to be able to send a deposit and be confirmed in the first or in the last block  found durin the game. If your btc will be confirmed outside the game time you make a fall and lose everything.
If there is only one player he will lost only 2% of his deposit.
If there are only to players, the first will play 10btc and the second will play 1btc the first will get 9.28btc and the second will get 1.50 btc.

it is still a ponzi search for the meaning of ponzi in google

Ponzies only pay in FIFO(first in, first out) order.

I will pay in FIFO and in LIFO(last in first out) order.
This is not a ponzy. It is an ability/gamble game. Like an horse race.

its still ponzi, it wont be sustainable..

Bitcoinica ran away with my btcs
Pirate40 ran away with my btcs
Instawallet ran away with my btcs
mtgox ran away with my btcs
Really I hate scammers. And I love gamble and how bitcoins make easy to pay and to get paid.
I will not run with your money.

payments orders is provabily fair.
Everyone can run with your money. I'm new here, I know I have to get some reputation. I have a lot of game in mind. I will not run with your 20cents

provably fair by the blockchain? wtf are you talking about. what if you ran away with the money? can they get their money back?

This is not a ponzi. It is an ability game. you have to be the first or the last. No ponzi scheme here. Everything is provably fair by the blockchain.

And here we go, another ponzi running . Is this the 10th for today ?

Be the first or be the last but don't be in the middle.
This is an ability/gambling game.

GAME WILL START 2015-jan-27 at 01:00:00GMT  and will end 2015-jan-27 at 23:59:99GMT.
150% ROI
49% of your deposit will be used to pay firsts players(FIFO)
49% of your deposit wil be used to pay lasts players(LIFO)
2% fee
Min deposit 0.001BTC
Max deposit infinite

deposits have to be included(and get the first confirmation) in one block found during the game time.

I will use block inclusion order(as I can see it on blockchain.info) to build the payout list.


0% automated
Everything is manual. If you like this game I will implement a webapp to play and automate everything.

DEPOSIT ADDRESS:  18Uqzu4Burccq4jJLAN7eK2zYxWszoWJTW

EDIT:Added min/max deposit amount

THIS IS NOT A PONZI/SCAM GAME.
You have to be able to send a deposit and be confirmed in the first or in the last block  found durin the game. If your btc will be confirmed outside the game time you make a fall and lose everything.
If there is only one player he will lost only 2% of his deposit.
If there are only to players, the first will play 10btc and the second will play 1btc the first will get 9.28btc and the second will get 1.50 btc.
if there are 3 players and everyone deposit 1 btc The first and the last player will get 1.47btc and the player in the middle will lose everything


....

 And so on
....

I have no way to manipulate the confirmation order so this game is provably fair
