WOW! Good news! 
Its up again.
seems the server has crashed shortly after finding the block.
i linked the idea and had 700 Mhash working on it, I'm diversified again.
I have another 300 mhash card idling due to heat issues.

Congrats to Eskimo Bob. (I was the 2nd closest time. darn)
According to the information available to me, Block #135556 was found at 2011-07-10 03:18:03 GMT.
While it was a fairly close contest, the winner is Eskimo Bob with a bid of 03:55:00!
If the winner would be so kind as to post a payment address, I'll process your winnings shortly.
Thanks everyone for playing, and if the kinks can be worked out of the TripleMining pool I'd be happy to run additional lotteries like this in the future.

And how would I know what someone else bid, huh?

Correct!
HOWEVER, only the 0.10 goes to the pot, the rest of the bits stay with the lotto operator.
I think I will pick the time 00:01:01! J/k.

Correct! And you're more than welcome to . . . but keep in mind that someone else might do the same thing, so you might be shooting yourself in the foot by bidding really close to someone else.
Example: If you believe that the block will be found at 2:36PM and 20 seconds GMT you would send 0.10143620 BTCs to the address provided.
Wow, this was confusing me, and I didn't even realize it. So, to put it in other words:

We've got four bids confirmed, anyone else want to throw their hat into the ring and make the pot an even 0.5 BTC?
Something like, foreach bet received:
$string .= $btc_addr_sender . $amount;
...
$md5 = md5($string);
print $md5;
$string .= $btc_addr_sender . $amount;
...
$md5 = md5($string);
print $md5;
Sure, it's only a matter of MD5-hashing a string with the bets so far and updating it as a new bet comes in .
.I'll have to learn how to do that for the 4th block.

. By the way, I can code the system in PHP, if needed .
.I'd definitely be interested in exploring that for future lotteries, SilverLeaf. Do you know how to do the hashing for security that BitLotto above mentioned?
I'm in!
Please send me the address! =)
