Thank you

You can read more info about the website here: https://weathbet.com/help (https://weathbet.com/help)
I forgot to say you can specify a cold wallet where around 30% of the bet is automatically sent to your address without extra fee,
you can see an example here: https://blockchain.info/tx/ed05e1e4de1710a581dbdce567a0af9b5d8e59cb0f4d36170c76fdabe8cf0908
around 30% is sent to 15V7vjkCWJmY7GVAGsdfnJiEZVpUHAVBC7
you can do the same for litecoin and dogecoin

this is a RIDICULOUS concept but also a strangely COOL concept .. I like it. Do you have traffic/revenue yet? If you can provide/traffic revenue stats i will make a bid

Sorry but we don't accept bid from account with negative trust...we are online from 1 week and we had some bets for the 1 hour betting option and we are in low profit for that bets but overall we are in negative profit because we paid all the dev process (4 months) but you get the entire website without the dev cost and i think with just some basic marketing (example signature campaign) it will have more people
Thank you

The website is ready and you just need to change the deposit address and cold address with your own,if you need assistance we can provide it for free for some days
Thank you

Im interested, but I don't bid in hidden reserve auctions. If you decide to release what the minimum you will sell for I would consider a bid, and Im sure others would also be more interested.

Best of luck to your auction

We are looking for around 4-5 BTC, but we may accept lower price if we receive small bids

Some other stats:
in 1 week we had 67 bets,
removing the bets from the promotion and the not paid bets we have 13 bets basically without promotion because we started the promotion thread for only half day,

7% (1/13) of bet are made with DOGE
Average bet: 0.00171 BTC (with our current low max bet limit of 0.01 BTC)
Average odds: 1.33
Total bet amount(sum): 0.02229 BTC
Profit from this bet: 0.019988 BTC
Betting option stats:
92% (12/13) 1 hour option

Do you run any marketing campaign or any promotion?

Like i wrote, we did a small promotion for half a day (for bitcointalk members 0.0001 BTC each) we are online only for 1 week, i think there is a good potential for users that can make simple marketing i.e. signature campaign (i already wrote that before)

do you have minimum offer?
i see that you are looking for 4-5 btc, maybe it is correct price, but is service old only couple days. it requires a lot of work
What is the plan for the future, what when if it appears some bugs or error in script after 3 months, do you fix that bug, how much that cost

It is actually a service older than that but they relaunched again as their old thread got boring or something.
@OP didn't think you came all the way to reintroducing your site just to sell it off *shakes head*

The initial bid is 1 BTC
When we developed the website we tested all the feature for 15 days and we had the cobalt.io program up with prices for security researchers, all the minor bugs was fixed and after a week online with 60/70 bets we had no bugs/errors.
In the future if the next owner unlikely will find a bug/error he can contact one of my team to resolve the issue for free

Please read the thread,
the old thread didn't got "boring", meteorologist and users requested a different data source, we were using openweathermap for decentralized weather station but with the community feedback we switched to the official government weather service NOAA, providing a "provably fair" to users,

Auction update:
Buy now price: 4 BTC
Starting Bid: 1 BTC
Min. increment: 0.25 BTC
Reserve: 2 BTC

Now our account is Jr.Member and can post images,here is the image from the main thread:

Some screenshot:

just to let you guys know on here, I tried it out before, and it doesn't allow you to bet on all of the cities they list on there... I would say around 80% of the cities they boast doesn't work.  It seems to be only for major cities.

Wow 80% you at least tried 3000 cities to give this percentage? i think you tried only 5 cities,
The real percentage is under 10%, when a city is disabled it means that the weather station has not been updated in the last hour and this isn't our fault,
Please if you are not interested in the auction don't post here, thank you

We have unlocked our main thread for some days and we are receiving many bets, the auction is still running and you can place your bid now

OP asked me to provide escrow service for the trade when the website was sold. I can do that and buyer and seller would negotiate the details of the deal, for example when i should release the coins to the seller.

Happy bidding! :)

Bet and affiliate increased in the last days, from now on stats about the website will be available only via PM

Here is the simple admin panel(responsive) to quickly monitor the website
