I bet a few rounds, did a withdraw (still waiting for that to come through) however, you need to clean up the balance field a bit:

I really liked the game at first I thought it was going to be poorly made though I was wrong about it as it has an impressive design I wish you to have a lot of players in near future who would like your game

Hi - thanks for the comments and feedback.

DaveF: I'll get onto fixing that balance rendering bug asap. I also forgot to charge up the BTC hot wallet when putting the new code live so as soon as I've transferred funds your payment will come through.

katerniko1: We just changed the play to off-chain because on-chain betting chewed up way too much in fees for players and us. Also it made playing the game a lot slower. Maybe there's a way we could store plays on the chain - how about a hash of all your plays when you withdraw?

I see only a little error.
When i click to bet (x2-x4-x5...) open a pop up with all information bet, but i don't see the X for close a pop up (generally to right and up of page)  ;D

Looks like deposits are not working.
Take a look at address 1Gf8k8EruaErdrWJFpU6Hwy4Db3Rat1kma
it's not showing up in my account.

Hmm. I've restarted the blockchain monitor back to block 369500 (Aug 12th) but with more debugging output to find out why it didn't pick up your deposit.
The TX is definitely in the blockchain https://blockchain.info/tx/efabe677ac09669f674feae9f5540b3f10aed88e39c0fd9b62527937dd365836 (https://blockchain.info/tx/efabe677ac09669f674feae9f5540b3f10aed88e39c0fd9b62527937dd365836) so should have been picked up.
I have to go somewhere for most of today so I'm afraid I can't give you any more info until then, but I will get it sorted!!

Ok, DaveF, I see the problem - it's a hangover from the previous code that assumed payments came from the first address in the TX.
So it thinks the payment went to 12m2w6bvDDh6v3nJ9zwm5MavcXKxJrRqhp  but doesn't check 1Gf8k8EruaErdrWJFpU6Hwy4Db3Rat1kma
Will fix asap then rescan blockchain and your deposit should be recognised!

Post by: catbref on August 18, 2015, 05:08:57 PM
Recipient fix is live, however I've set the blockchain monitor to rescan from block 369,500 which might a few hours!
I'll check back later (or tomorrow morning) to see if your deposit has come through.
Sorry for the delay but also thanks for pointing out the issue!

No problem.

I think I found another small issue, but I will not be able to test till I can bet.

Small issue, I can sometimes recreate it but not all the time.
After the race ends, but before betting is allowed to start. If you go to bet it gives the error that you have to wait to bet but every now and then it still records the bet. I thought it happened the other day and I managed to recreate it 2 or 3 times over 12 games last night.

Site looks really nice and retro just as the theme of the game but why one needs to verify the email? I don't like lengthy registeration processes, especially on crypto gambling sites. Infact one shouldn't need an email at all, check out rollin.io, the only thing you need to play is a username and password or just back up the url and start playing. So maybe you can add an instant play option which doesn't requires going through the whole registration process, just open the site, deposit, play and cashout if you win.

Hello,

In response to the above you no longer need to verify your email address before you can play.
You can sign up (username+email+password) then deposit funds and play.

You still (currently) need a working email address to confirm withdrawals for security reasons.

Also, I found a bug where the blockchain monitor would get stuck on a forked block and so deposits would get delayed. This is now fixed but the server is still a few blocks behind (although catching up as fast as it can). Sorry if you were one of those affected - your funds have not been lost!

Next up will be improvements to the chat system to show a bit of history and also a "call admins" feature.

Thanks to those who've taken a look!

Do you have any plans to add a faucet to your site? It would help attract more visitors, and let them try out the site before a deposit.

Also, I would suggest adding a chatbox, so people can chat with each other, or with an admin.

The site's design and sounds look good!

Congrats to Zippolo who won 125,000 BURST by betting 5,000 BURST on "White Runner" today!


Yup, definitely need to improve the chat box by adding history and "call admin" feature.
I hope to have that done in the next few days.

Call admin? Do you mean it directly go private with admin or ask him to be here? I guess this call admin thing is no need because admin will stay there for a while though. Better try to get some faucets for people to try and some giveaways or prize or jackpot on this. This will sure attract many people to come here

GAHHH bitcoin node died - I've restarted it - it's currently on block 374065 so needs to catch up.
Going to add a watchdog so I get text alerts if it dies.

New changes:

  • Improved chat and notifications - you can call an admin with "!admin"
  • Flashing buttons just like the arcade!
  • Easier to see which horses you've bet on

I was hopping to play at the claw machine which I love playing in real life, but unfortunately your site doesn't have demo credits. I think you should add demo credits to test the games for free. I started playing slot machine because I became addicted thanks to demo credits, then I started playing with some real Bitcoin.
