and dont come with the excuse, that the time is not right if you leave ur browser 10 hours without refreshing....
it worked not properly, also if you refreshed it 1 minute before the ponzi starts!!!
OP, if you like longterm gains, then send back these "too early" funds to the people and admit that the rules were not clearly formulated!
Next time: give us all a fresh created address or say explicit, that ur Homepage does not count, only thing is counting is the time on blockchain.info
Please refer to my previous post.
Exactly right on the sob stories. Like I said in my last post, there are many ways to check GMT time besides the timer, although I have always found the timer to be correct except when left un-refreshed for inordinate periods of time.
The problem is that people just didn't know that the site timer can be inaccurate if not regularly refreshed. The fact that the timer drifts over time wasn't discussed in public until AFTER the game had already started. They (some of them, at least) tried to follow the rules by waiting for that timer to hit zero and ended up getting burned by the fact that it had drifted.
I managed to get my bets placed in time but I knew about the drifting from observing the timer discrepancy on the first day; it had been 10 to 15 seconds off for me. This time, I just watched the blockchain timestamps.
Well considering that only a tiny number of deposits were made before 0:00 GMT and that as soon as 0:00:00 GMT ticked over,
there were around 100 deposits in 30 seconds makes me think that those who deposited before 0:00 GMT were simply trying to get the advantage by depositing slightly before the time ticked over, knowing that it was not technically the start of the round yet.
I would believe them if those 100 transactions came through before 0:00:00, but you can't deny statistics. As soon, and I mean literally as soon, as the time hit 0:00:00 GMT the deposits went crazy.
Take that information how you wish. I know what I think.That's a real bad argumentation, fact is everybody who sent greater amounts was aware that too early deposit get to donation.... why should i risk it?!?! risk 1.5 btc for nothing!
Maybe u have to think, that the problem was on your page!
U cant keep it as donation, it was the 3rd run of your ponzis and any mistake which was made, has to be solved!! But not on the cost of the people here!!
Do you really think, what u are trying to do is in any case fair?!
As i wrote u in pm, keep 10% for yourself but not the whole amount! Ur rules were not explicit and where should anybody rely on, when not on your page...
I do not think, that this is really a problem of his website, but of your (our all) PCs. If you open his site, you will get the correct time. But your browser will not connect to the webserver every second, to get a updated time, but will "try" to calculate this. you can see this, if you open any other time-website, e.g.
http://watches.uhrzeit.org/atomic-clock.php Keep it open for some hours and i will show a wrong time. You can check, if you refresh it or open it in another browser or windows. So it is really mandantory to do a refresh before deposit. Or maybe have another very accurate clock.
From my point of view the much bigger problem are the double payouts. This is really only the fault from the OP, how did no check before payout. You can do it in this way, if you work with pennies, but not with this big amounts. Just my 2 cents.
