Title: Re: [ANN] BitMillions.com - 100% Automatic BlockChain based Lottery Post by: BRules on January 31, 2013, 11:20:41 PM what's your house edge?
and it's a jackpot or a fixed prize for the hits? Title: Re: [ANN] BitMillions.com - 100% Automatic BlockChain based Lottery Post by: BitMillions on February 01, 2013, 01:53:56 PM Can you prove that the major prizes actually exist ? ie you have enough coin to cover the prizes. Yes, Bitcoins for all the 3 pools are stored in independent addresses and will never be moved for any other purpose than to make payments to winners. You will be able to verify these funds at any time ( the address will be in our site ), as they will update in real time, after each draw. Title: Re: [ANN] BitMillions.com - 100% Automatic BlockChain based Lottery Post by: BitMillions on February 01, 2013, 04:36:06 PM what's your house edge? and it's a jackpot or a fixed prize for the hits? What's your house edge? We don’t have house edge. We have a house fee of 10% only in the losing tickets. We have developed this system as a long term and profitable business. We have seen many sites that after a few months had to close down or even worse, we have seen the administrators go away with all the funds. We earn money when people play and win, we charge a house fee not only for profit but also to ensure that the site will have all the security measurements needed and on top of that we will be responsible for replacing any lost BTC in case of any security breach. It's a jackpot or a fixed prize for the hits? It is a jackpot. Pools are formed by all the losing tickets. A play is generated and all the losing tickets become part of the pools for the next draw, after deducting the 10% house fees. These funds are divided proportionally among the prize for 2 matches, 3 matches and 4 matches: 40% for two, 30% for 3 and 20% for 4.

Title: Re: [ANN] BitMillions.com - 100% Automatic BlockChain based Lottery Post by: BRules on February 02, 2013, 04:46:07 AM some considerations about your site.
- I think that a link to the home page on the top of the site is more standard than on the bottom, some times I need to scroll all the page down to click on the "home" link. - when I'm typing the numbers on the ticket, it's not accepting the numbers on the numpad. - I think that will be better if after we type two characters on a number field it automatically pass to the next number field. - I couldn't see in the faq and neither when I am filling a ticket that the numbers should be unique. first I thought that the site had a problem as I selected the same number twice and the total didn't change. but after clicking on "Click To Verify draw numbers" i found the information i was looking for. - if I need to pay more 1 btc (20 USD) to use each free play, then I think the free word isn't adequate. and the rest of yor site is very professional and very well thought, congratulations. Title: Re: [ANN] BitMillions.com - 100% Automatic BlockChain based Lottery Post by: mnightwaffle on February 02, 2013, 07:42:16 AM I just won 4.7btc on a $6 bid - not bad ::)

but the information on this page look like test information as I'm seeing "30.533 Winners up to date" and only one transaction in the list and a ticket that hit the 4 numbers.

Because of the nature of the game, in BitMillions is impossible for the operator to artificially inflate the number of bets, since the funds from the losing tickets will go to the Prizes Pools and not to the operator itself.

If you add the "partners" and the "house fees" together, you get the expected 10% of the losing tickets. So I'm guessing "partners" represents outside investors who have a share in the site.

Post by: BRules on February 06, 2013, 04:02:23 AM as dooglus pointed out in the other thread, you have this sentence on the FAQ.
"All the hashes of the keys of the next draw are available at this link in order to validate that the hash for the key that was used was the correct one after the play has finished" but there isn't any link in the faq page. You MUST provide this link ASAP before someone hit the 3 or 4 jackpot so you can prove that wasn't you manipulating the draw result to get your money back. I must say that if this happen before you post the hashes, my trust on the site will be affected. and also the link to the address 1HSDNZYfcevZBNCZjj4y5wyxzbc79a6y32 on the faq page isn't working. EDIT: just saw that your message on twitter has parts of the hash for the secret token. So it's ok as you can't know the TwitID bedore posting the hash. It's provably fair.

Post by: dooglus on February 08, 2013, 08:22:41 PM Can you prove that? ;) You know... Bitcoin and stuff. The pot for match-3 was far too high. It really was worth playing until you hit it, because it was incredibly unlikely you would make a loss - unless someone else hit it before you. The three pots will end up being 6643 BTC, 26 BTC and 0.48 BTC on average. Having 400 BTC in the match-3 pot put it around 16 times bigger than it will be on average, and made it well worth shooting for. You hit the match-3 pot about once every 10,000 draws. 10,000 draws cost 100 BTC to play. So you're paying 100 BTC to win half of 400 BTC - well worth doing, even if you never win any of the other pots (which, of course, you will).

Post by: dooglus on February 08, 2013, 10:18:09 PM I've thought about that yesterday, but since I could not afford to lose 100 BTC I stopped thinking about it and started doing other stuff (to stop feeding that gambling desire I sometimes have). Ha! Me too... I was thinking if I did go for it, I would have to buy lots of tickets all at once to increase my chance of winning before somebody else did. There's no good way of buying lots of tickets for the same draw without spamming the blockchain with transactions with hundreds of outputs. I calculated that I could buy 288 tickets with a single 10k byte transaction (each ticket you buy adds 34 bytes to the transaction size) but that I'd want to buy many more than that to have a reasonable chance of winning the pot (odds of 1-in-10k). So I stopped thinking about it. :) Title: Re: BitMillions.com - More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Now Play with ONLY ฿ 0.01 !! Post by: eleuthria on February 09, 2013, 09:29:19 PM Love the site, very well done. Only one thing I'm a bit confused over: Is there a reason you decided to have the tickets pay out for each play? The current method is going to end up filling wallets with a lot of small inputs, making it harder to spend without long delays and/or high fees. Perhaps a separate address to purchase a ticket which sends your total winnings after the ticket fully matures? This saves you money, and the player as well in the long run.

It's possible to buy a ticket that runs for several years. You probably wouldn't want to wait for the end for it to pay out. A compromise like paying out every 100 draws would seem reasonable though. That would mean payouts every 16.7 hours on average. And if they always paid out on draws ending with 00 then players could easily know how many more draws until their next payout.

Good point, I hadn't thought of the idea of buying a single ticket that lasted for a significant time. An every-100 blocks payout ticket would definitely be a good compromise there. I just hate seeing the blockchain bloat and difficult to spend outputs filling a wallet [glares at SatoshiDice].

They actively encourage you to do so with their 'high roller' bonuses: https://i.imgur.com/OH0q7zT.png Incidentally, the 'play for' column is wrong in a few cases. 20,000 tickets will play for 20000/144 = 138.9 days, not 143 days. Also, the most recent draw numbers are all messed up. Is it meant to say 'CALCULATE'? It's kinda ugly: https://i.imgur.com/B5cDpSD.png Maybe an 8 letter word would work better? TH-IN-KI-NG?

The transaction you sent is 14846 bytes long, and so needs a fee of at least 15*0.0005 = 0.0075 BTC. You only included a fee of 0.001 BTC so it's not surprising it's taking a long time to confirm.

Your transaction has 100 inputs and 1 output, so will have size 14800+34+10 +- 100 = 14844 +- 100 Its actual size was 14846. Each input adds 147, 148, or 149 to the size, pretty much at random. The average contribution per input is 148 bytes. It's incredibly unlikely that all 100 inputs will contribure 149 bytes. The transaction size is in the range 14744 to 14944, but spread out with a binomial distribution centred on 14844. But... createrawtransaction returns a string. Count the length of the string to find (twice) the size of the transaction. Then adjust the fee, and repeat, until the fee is suitable for the length.

I had the same concern, but look at how nicely the small transactions (all the way down to 0.000003!) were sent without a fee in this transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/0895a6fa923d399f5079c5a444a70a7543b5c34ebe4a5d21ae522350042b311e?show_adv=trueIt seems as though packaging these smaller inputs with larger inputs allows them to be sent fee-free. If you ever want to consolidate a small amount at a single address, send a larger amount to that address, then send them both back to the address you wanted to consolidate the small amount at. Use the larger amount as a vehicle to transport the smaller amount, for free. ;) Title: Re: BitMillions.com - More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Now Play with ONLY ฿ 0.01 !! Post by: dooglus on February 13, 2013, 10:04:57 PM It seems as though packaging these smaller inputs with larger inputs allows them to be sent fee-free. If you ever want to consolidate a small amount at a single address, send a larger amount to that address, then send them both back to the address you wanted to consolidate the small amount at. Use the larger amount as a vehicle to transport the smaller amount, for free. ;) That's right. A transaction is free so long as it's less than 10,000 bytes and the average (input age) times (input size) is more than about 0.6 bitcoin days. (The code tries to make the threshold 1 bitcoin-day, but allows 250 bytes per input, whereas since most public keys these days are compressed they only take up 148 bytes each in a transaction, causing transactions to be roughly 60% of the size the code expects). So if you're trying to consolidate 66 single satoshis (the most you can fit into a 10k transaction), you'll need to bring an input with 67*0.6 =40.2 bitcoin days along with it (since the individual satoshis contribute effectively nothing to the transaction's priority no matter how old they are, being so small). That can be a 1 day old 40.2 BTC input, or a 1 hour old 1000 BTC input, or any other combination which gives at least 40.2 bitcoin days. The transaction you linked to included a 13 BTC input that was over a month old, so it alone contributed more than enough bitcoin days for the whole transaction.

Kind of, but not really, for two reasons: 1) If any output of a transaction is less than 0.01 BTC then it isn't allowed to be free, no matter what the priority. This is to prevent 'dust spam'. 2) Even transactions which don't have enough fees will be confirmed within a few days because there are some miners who don't enforce the fee rules.

YOUR SITE SUCKS. For a for-profit business to have no way to ask a question and no contact link is just not acceptable. I know you want to sit on your ass and collect money, but in the real world people have questions and if you have customers you have to answer those questions. It is called "customer service", and it is important. The funny thing is I got a payment out of the bet, but there is no way for me to see the "ticket" that your site "produced".

Thank you for your feedback. First, for a for-profit business to have no way to ask a question and no contact link is just not acceptable. I know you want to sit on your ass and collect money, but in the real world people have questions and if you have customers you have to answer those questions. It is called "customer service", and it is important. Our contact information is on the site: https://bitmillions.com/about I see you find our link to this topic on the forum, where we give support... also can find us in Facebook, Google+, Twitter or IRC. Besides you are receiving an answer just 2 minutes after you post this message. Second, even though your site says that I can check my "ticket" by entering the payment address, I did that and it always says "0 tickets found" and "Displaying latest 0 tickets". Here is my deposit address so you can try it for yourself: 1HSDNZYfcevZBNCZjj4y5wyxzbc79a6y32 The funny thing is I got a payment out of the bet, but there is no way for me to see the "ticket" that your site "produced". That is the betting address, you should enter your address, not ours. Anyways if you just sent the bet, your ticket should be in this page... https://bitmillions.com/tickets how many BTCs did you sent? If you like you can also send me a PM or an email to charly at shatwo dot com Title: Re: BitMillions.com - More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Now Play with ONLY ฿ 0.01 !!

Obviously I am like millions of other people who want to play your game- otherwise I wouldn't be on this thread telling you what I don't like.
I still have no idea what you mean about my ticket. OK, so I shouldn't enter my deposit address in order to find my ticket. What address should I enter? The whole point of having a place on the site to answer questions is so that dimwits like me can ask them. I realize that the answer is obvious to you, but it isn't obvious to me. And I'm not really bashing you even though it looks that way from my first post. I just want to know how this all works, and I have not been able to find my answer in the FAQ. My next step was to simply email you and ask, but that isn't possible from your site.

By the way, the address 1HSDNZYfcevZBNCZjj4y5wyxzbc79a6y32 isn't your particular deposit address. it is the address that bitmillions use for everyone to buy tickets (similar to satoshidice bet addresses). Let's assume that you're using the original bitcoin client and don't have control over what address will be used to send the bitcoins. As you can see in the search box on the site: "Enter Transaction ID or Address to find your Ticket", so just put the transaction id and you will find your tickets.

None of his criticisms were really anything that needed fixing, except perhaps that things need to be clearer on the site. If these guys were planning to run a scam, I doubt they would have left such large amounts in the prize pools when they dropped the price of a ticket by a factor of 10.

Thanks dooglus, that is exactly the reason why we chose to keep the pools as the were, we wanted to be true to our word. We didn't work for 6 months of working 10 hours a day (including weekends ) + investing over $50K ( 1300 BTC in Pools, plus Programming, plus Design, etc ) for nothing. We are here for the long run. That is why I think its important for the Bitcoin Community to build successful businesses, operators of the businesses that do not make money eventually either close their doors or worst yet, run aways. Operators of profitable businesses that are making money, like to keep their businesses running as long as possible. Our best interest is that users like our game and keeps playing it, that is how we make money so we can to keep developing new sites, games, applications for more devices, etc... to grown the Bitcoin economy. In my opinion, that is the only possible way that this amazing new currency can succeed. Title: Re: BitMillions.com - More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Now Play with ONLY ฿ 0.01 !!

Also I have a lot of other questions that are not based on me being mistaken but on the site giving me false information. I was shown two tickets but suddenly something has been changed and now I see only one ticket. I Bet 0.1 bitcoin and got .02 bitcoin back, but the two tickets were showing a lot more than that.

Code: In := DistributionFitTest[numbersDrawn, DiscreteUniformDistribution[{0, 99}]That's the P-value for a Pearson chi squared test against the last 1000 draws with null hypothesis that the numbers are drawn from a uniform distribution between 0 and 99; a P value of 0.776 rejects the possibility of non-uniform draws with high confidence.

I wasn't mistaken- there is no kind of customer support on the site whatsoever. I stand by that. Also I have a lot of other questions that are not based on me being mistaken but on the site giving me false information. Again, so far you been the person who asked more questions and received more answers that any other player, so I honestly can't understand why you keep saying this. I was shown two tickets but suddenly something has been changed and now I see only one ticket. Based on the information you sent me, I can see you are betting from 2 different addresses: 1 Ticket from https://bitmillions.com/address/19CU1e8gLYmhLXDLKrjsbGsQtuSZk3vQEF 2 Tickets from https://bitmillions.com/address/18E81JFWYYvUXrVfgmTU7J5tTH57BUAhXw I Bet 0.1 bitcoin and got .02 bitcoin back Based on the ticket you sent me: https://bitmillions.com/tickets/44105098c52b79dca5915547c138333c8944a56fa14ae3229b05b4185b076342:0 Receiving 0.02 BTC seams to be correct. Here is the link to the payment transaction: http://blockchain.info/tx/1336f20951725a4d2fb1c4c4429ff4b27a02473ed7848d2e12b14448f328daa9 But the two tickets were showing a lot more than that. I guess you are referring to the ticket you played on the other address: 2 Tickets from https://bitmillions.com/address/18E81JFWYYvUXrVfgmTU7J5tTH57BUAhXw You can see those 2 tickets where correctly paid to the following address: http://blockchain.info/address/18E81JFWYYvUXrVfgmTU7J5tTH57BUAhXw They were showing a profit as ShaTwo confirmed. There is a lot of confusion about what happens to these "tickets". I would rephrase this as "I am very confused about what happened to these "tickets" Also I already gave you my email address, you can the IRC Channel, you can PM ( As you already did a few times ), so I honestly don't understand why you keep claiming that we don't provide customer support.

One way to really make the site streamlined would be to allow customers to upload coins to bet with. Some will love it and some will hate it but imagine how easy the interface could be then.

Post by: BRules on February 17, 2013, 09:42:42 PM one thing is worrying me, I'm seeing that the pool 4 has 1541 transactions to it and a total of 1165 btc in it.
As no one have won the prize of this pool yet, this mean that these transactions are sending bitcoins to this address. The first transaction was 1000 btc, this means that all the other 1540 transactions sent 165 btc to it. statistically talking, the winners of this pool will receive about 6000 btc. this means that when this pool will be paid to the winners, it will have about 56000 unspent transactions. this is a lot of inputs, it will totalize more than 8MB with compressed keys. this is a total of 32 blocks entirely filled with your "transaction". I think you should review the interval you're sending the bitcoins to your offline address to reduce the numbers of inputs when someone win the top prize Title: Re: BitMillions.com - More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Now Play with ONLY ฿ 0.01 !! Post by: dooglus on February 17, 2013, 10:28:09 PM I think you should review the interval you're sending the bitcoins to your offline address to reduce the numbers of inputs when someone win the top prize Maybe have a small online address for pool 4, and dump it once per day into the offline wallet. Also, you should regularly consolidate the outputs at the offline pool addresses. Make a transaction that takes a bunch of small outputs from the 'match-4' address and sends a single output back to the same address. If you include the 1000 BTC output as one of the inputs then you'll be able to include 65 tiny inputs with it while staying within the 10000 byte limit for free transactions. So long as the value of the transaction times the number of confirmations of the inputs is bigger than 5760 the transaction is free. So you can consolidate 65 tiny outputs every 6 blocks for free. Since you're hopefully only adding one output to each pool for each block you'll quickly get the offline pool tidied up. Also, the amounts shown in https://bitmillions.com/faq#7 are out of date. It would be better to either have them show the live balance or not show the balances at all. Title: Re: BitMillions.com - More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Now Play with ONLY ฿ 0.01 !! Post by: ShaTwo on February 18, 2013, 02:55:11 AM one thing is worrying me, I'm seeing that the pool 4 has 1541 transactions to it and a total of 1165 btc in it. As no one have won the prize of this pool yet, this mean that these transactions are sending bitcoins to this address. The first transaction was 1000 btc, this means that all the other 1540 transactions sent 165 btc to it. statistically talking, the winners of this pool will receive about 6000 btc. this means that when this pool will be paid to the winners, it will have about 56000 unspent transactions. this is a lot of inputs, it will totalize more than 8MB with compressed keys. this is a total of 32 blocks entirely filled with your "transaction". I think you should review the interval you're sending the bitcoins to your offline address to reduce the numbers of inputs when someone win the top prize Yes, we know about this problem, what is why we are working in a script that will consolidate small inputs on the Pool # 4 Address once a day Maybe have a small online address for pool 4, and dump it once per day into the offline wallet. This is also a very good suggestion, thanks dooglus! Will look into it. Right now we consolidated the payments for 6 block in one Transaction to try to make it not as small. In the future when game become very popular I thing we will have to do like dooglus suggested and break the transaction in parts. Also, the amounts shown in https://bitmillions.com/faq#7 are out of date. It would be better to either have them show the live balance or not show the balances at all. I think you are talking about Question #12 ( How can I verify that there are sufficient funds to cover the prizes? ), correct?

I tried and tried to input the transaction IDs for .025 btc I sent just trying the site out and was UNABLE to get anything about any tickets (I should have 'bought' 2 tickets with .02 btc). The transaction TO Bitmillions wallet ID WAS confirmed by blockchain.info.
I have to say that I won't be trying this site again unless things change drastically. Shouldn't be out of the testing phase IMO. Glad I didn't send more than .025 btc. Even IF I was able to see tickets I 'bought' by entering my own wallet's 'send' IDs there MUST be an easier way to show your consumers their ticket numbers, the current system (discounting the fact that I couldn't get it to work AT ALL) is just too clumsy/confusing. In addition to the above... the site is NOT showing the total jackpot available in the red box nor is it showing the 'last 4 winning numbers on the left side of the front page. ALSO, in addition, the About Us tab goes to a blank page with NO information about contact addresses for Twitter, Facebook, Google+ OR Bitcointalk as stated earlier itt. Something is very wrong here.

Post by: 🏰 TradeFortress 🏰 on February 20, 2013, 06:09:49 AM If these guys were planning to run a scam, I doubt they would have left such large amounts in the prize pools when they dropped the price of a ticket by a factor of 10. They could quite justifiably have reduced each prize pool by a factor of 10, but decided not to. Thanks dooglus, that is exactly the reason why we chose to keep the pools as the were, we wanted to be true to our word. We didn't work for 6 months of working 10 hours a day (including weekends ) + investing over $50K ( 1300 BTC in Pools, plus Programming, plus Design, etc ) for nothing. We are here for the long run. That is why I think its important for the Bitcoin Community to build successful businesses, operators of the businesses that do not make money eventually either close their doors or worst yet, run aways. Operators of profitable businesses that are making money, like to keep their businesses running as long as possible. Our best interest is that users like our game and keeps playing it, that is how we make money so we can to keep developing new sites, games, applications for more devices, etc... to grown the Bitcoin economy. In my opinion, that is the only possible way that this amazing new currency can succeed. You spent 1,800 hours on this?

Interesting that the address it shows (17YHN...) was the 11th input.

Post by: NoobMiner on February 20, 2013, 06:21:14 AM Ok... ShaTwo got back to me VERY quickly after PM here after all... I was a bit tilted by the non-functionality I encountered so...
Anyway, it appears that IE9 may be the culprit, not even working after dumping cache. At ShaTwo's suggestion I tried Chrome (which I never use) and the site IS indeed working as advertised and I WAS able to view my 'tickets' (though they lost... :P ). In Chrome the site looks pretty good and has a nice feel to it. Cheers guys. Seems I'm a 'bug locator' ... ;) I may very well try the site out again.

I maintain that twitter, facebook, etc are no way to provide customer support. A contact form is acceptable or an email address and both of these should be on the site. Charly, I think you are not prepared for any kind of criticism and this reflects very badly on you. Dave, I take your criticism and we will incorporate additional contact methods on the page. We will have: - Google+ - BitcoinTalk - IRC Channel on Freenode - Contact Form Any other suggestion? um..let's see.. Semaphore (flag signals) Native American Smoke Signals That flashing-light-thingy signalling method naval ships use Telegraph/Morse Code Personal landline and mobile telephone numbers for all Sha Two employees Telephone #'s for all Sha Two employees families (in case you aren't answering your own phones) Perhaps some sort of web-accessible device mounted on each Sha Two employee, allowing customers to send minor electrical shocks when they have a problem or question Home addresses for all Sha Two employees so customers can come bang on your door in the middle of the night yelling "WHARZ MUH TICKETZES?!?" I think that covers pretty much every contact method... :-D Title: Re: BitMillions.com - More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Now Play with ONLY ฿ 0.01 !!

I'd rather use Safari and be bottle fed the sites that Steve Jobs' ghost says I should look at, rather than surf the web with the pile of steaming bear shit that is IE. Web browsing with IE is like swimming naked in the sewer. You might get where you want to go, eventually, but god only knows the diseases and infections you'll pick up along the way.

Due to the chain fork caused by v0.8 ( See at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=152030 ) Draws & Transaction Processing has been temporally paused & will be resumed once the issue is resolved by the Core Dev Team. None of your transactions will be loss, they all will be processed when the system is reactivated. [EDIT] The Lottery System has been reactivated. You should see your tickets now and Draws are in the process of been calculated, in a couple of minutes everything should be normal. We didn't upgrade to 0.8 so we always where in the 0.7 Block Chain. [EDIT] Draws are processed and everything seems to be stable.

Post by: ShaTwo on March 21, 2013, 04:19:28 PM Once you get that last hash and it is converted to decimal numbers, why do you skip the first 5 pairs? No special reason to chose 4, it could have been any number. But the idea is that we will be able to use the same Big Integer to different games. In another game we just skip 10 pairs and got 4 completely different numbers from the same hash. Also, what if the resulting numbers were extremely repetitive and less than 4 unique pairs could be grabbed? Repetitive numbers are also skipped, the algoritm will grab the next pair until 4 unique pair of numbers are obtained. Take a look to Draw # 225.098 for example ( https://bitmillions.com/draws/225098 ) the second [21] is skipped, because is already included in the winning numbers. What would be the winning numbers in such extremely unlikely case? As stated above, is not a problem and it will never happen.

As stated above, is not a problem and it will never happen. mathematically speaking: each big number has 154 characters, so it can be divided into 77 numbers with two digits the first 5 numbers with 2 digits are skipped, so there are 72 numbers left so the best chance to it happens is: (1/100) * (1/50) * ((1/33.33) ^ 69) = 1.6803 * (10 ^ -109) so, this will never happen Title: Re: BitMillions.com- More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Play with only ฿ 0.01!

Just to add extra confusion, I get a slightly different result again, probably because I'm only counting losing bets as losing bets, whereas you're also counting match-2, 3, and 4 as losing bets I think. 79727040 out of 94109400 bets match nothing, and so are losing bet. That's 84.71740% of bets. The house keeps 10% of losing bets, so 8.47174%. Title: Re: BitMillions.com- More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Play with only ฿ 0.01! Post by: BRules on March 22, 2013, 07:55:25 PM yes, because they don't say anything on giving the ticket back when hitting 2,3 or 4 numbers but if we count these hits percentage we will get 14.575037% + 0.697741% + 0.009793% + 0.000026% = 15.282597%
so, 10% * (1-0.152826) = 8.47174% I know this is the best scenario where we aren't couting the free plays and the discounts on largers bets. but I don't think they will reach 7% Title: Re: BitMillions.com- More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Play with only ฿ 0.01!

From that we need to deduct our costs: - Transaction Fees - Partners & Referrals - Hosting & CDN ( CloudFlare ) - SEO & Advertising Also risking of initial investment of BTC 1,300 in Prizes, plus the cost of building the site. I guess after all these costs the net margin is much more lower than 7%, specially since we treat the BitMillions.com website as a Partner (at 50% RevShare) and use 100% of those funds for the marketing of the site. The real action will come when we reach a BTC 5,000 JackPot, in our simulations, we got as higher as BTC 13,000 with an Exchange of $80 could be around $1,000,000 Dollar Pot! That will be interesting. I really think we will get there one day :) Title: Re: BitMillions.com- More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Play with only ฿ 0.01!

Post by: midnightlightning on March 26, 2013, 03:50:51 PM Just wanted to comment on a great design for your site, ShaTwo; I played a few times and really enjoy the feel of having a real "ticket" showing my bets. As a web designer/developer myself, I appreciate the design; Kudos!
A few suggestions, though, from me as a designer (if you don't mind): One design choice I'd change is the style of the "Ticket Total Wins" header: to me the gold coloring doesn't make that line pop, and that's a line that I really want to see at a glance. Everywhere else on the site, gold/tan is a background color, which may be why it looks diminished to me. Plus it's very close to the orange used by the "profit button" on each ticket/draw when the bet was lost. Would you consider changing it either to green to match the color of a winning "profit button" or red (matching the "with this luck..." line beneath it) to really pop? Also, what's the meaning behind the gold coin that's used next to the "Total Ticket Wins" header? I'm not sure what the imagery is in the middle of the gold coin; is that a cross? Or scales? Is there a reason it's not a Bitcoin "coin" like the coins used on the pool size table on the home page? And the blue "Lotto" logo that's used on the detail page of any draw (https://bitmillions.com/draws/228114); was that left over from an earlier design? You have no blue anywhere else on the site, and the two "o"s in that logo look like they are two parts that combined into your current logo. And finally, I agree with the comment that the display of the current jackpot size is misleading. Currently the big red box at the top of the site reads 1281.0461, but below it on the home page, pool 4 shows 1,245.0662 (and 35.66749 for three, and 0.312348 for two). If you add up the current pools 2, 3 and 4, you get the total in the red box. However, since the winner only takes 50%, I'd really like to see the red box show 640.5230 in that case, as that's the true winning jackpot at the moment. The listing of the pool sizes on the home page can stay as they are, since you have right beneath it that 50% of the pool is retained, but maybe have a separate table for "what you'd win right now if you matched 2, 3, or 4 numbers", which would show 640.5230, 17.9899, and 0.1562 respectively. Having the "current pool" and "you win this amount" tables combined isn't accurate and rather misleading. Great site, and great responses to feedback in the forum, keep up the great work! Title: Re: BitMillions.com- More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Play with only ฿ 0.01! Post by: midnightlightning on March 26, 2013, 04:01:18 PM Oh, a few more usability quirks, while I'm at it:
When looking at a ticket (https://bitmillions.com/tickets/3550ebcec6858b9f0c9903dc53f5a233387487cedd206e891d6d727dbd748832:0#), the "order by draw" text in the upper-right of the list of draws played looks like it should be clickable (and shows a pointer cursor on hover), but doesn't do anything for me in Chrome. I presume it would enable you to sort the draws by winning amount (which would be awesome)? The same thing for the list of tickets on a draw detail page. Also, the little arrow next to the "order by draw" is different on the draw pages (solid arrow, pointing down) and the ticket pages (chevron pointing right); might want to harmonize those? In your header, on the home page, there's a BitMillions logo that links back to the home page (useless; you're already on the home page), but on all other pages, the header is replaced to have the purchase address take up the majority of the space, and the logo is removed. The only link to the home page is then at the bottom of the page, in the footer. I've found myself multiple times mousing over the header looking for somewhere to click to go home, and then remembering it's at the bottom and having to scroll there. Maybe put some sort of "home" link in the header on internal pages, as that's a common user interface methodology? Title: Re: BitMillions.com- More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Play with only ฿ 0.01!

You have no blue anywhere else on the site, and the two "o"s in that logo look like they are two parts that combined into your current logo. I totally agree! By the way the Lotto Logo you mention was an option to replace the Gold Coin you mention... I also didn't like that header at all, but since we already we a few weeks behing schedule, we decided to launch anyways and change it latter... but that "latter" became longer that I thought. And finally, I agree with the comment that the display of the current jackpot size is misleading. Currently the big red box at the top of the site reads 1281.0461, but below it on the home page, pool 4 shows 1,245.0662 (and 35.66749 for three, and 0.312348 for two).

Having the "current pool" and "you win this amount" tables combined isn't accurate and rather misleading. I totally understand your point, but when looking at any lottery site in the world, they all present it on the same way... so I honestly taked as a standard way to do it.

Post by: Boelens on June 19, 2013, 07:42:35 PM Hey, I just read the pool thingy, and it says "50% retain for future draws", does this mean that in example, I win 1400 BTC and only get 700BTC? That's really quite a big percentage.

I have already warned them about the confusion this term may lead. IMO, it's not a "free" play, but a "bonus" play. From their FAQ: For each Free Play you have and want to use, you have to play 0.10 BTC. For instance, if you want to use four Free Plays, you have to bet 0.40 BTC." As you can see this is not as free as they advise. Title: Re: BitMillions.com- More than ฿ 1,400 in Prizes - Play with only ฿ 0.01! Post by: sgf909 on August 24, 2013, 06:38:12 PM It would make more sense to just add an extra draw to the current ticket.

This is the first time I've seen a lottery-based btc gambling site. That highest jackpot looks awfully seductive at 1350 btc...that's like 150k. The coin sound is a nice touch it just caught me off guard haha. I played a couple of times earlier today. Didn't win anything but thanks for the games!

I submitted 0.04044400 BTC, with the intent that I wanted to play 4 times, and pick two of the four numbers for myself (04 and 44). However, the ticket was interpreted as choosing the numbers 00, 04, 04, 44. Yes, those four number pairs are in the bet submission, but that's now impossible for me to win the "match four", since it allowed two numbers to be identical (ticket draws skip identical pairs, for example here: https://bitmillions.com/draws/270663, (click the verify numbers barcode); 57 came up twice and was rejected)! The system should either have figured I picked 00, 04, and 44 and either picked another number for me randomly, or rejected the preset numbers and picked four random numbers for me.

We discovered a bug on the system that was exploited by a player to steal the online pools. As you described, the bug allowed the exploiter to create tickets with the same number twice, when that number was under 10, what allow the attacker to steal about 30 BTC from the site. The bug is already fixed, but we are having problems getting it back online, since there are still some tickets from the attacker that are pending to be paid that need to be removed. All valid tickets will be paid as soon as the system is put back online. We are working in having the issue resolved... please apologies for the inconvenience. Again, please don't panic, we are not a scam, we are just fixing a bug and once everything is resolved, we will be back on online and have all the pending tickets processed and paid.

I hope they didn't just disappeared with the large jackpot, during the time they operated it increased in value quite a bit. I remember they had the jackpot in some kind of cold storage address, mentioned on the website. We could check if that money is still there, but I can't find the address anymore. Does anybody know? I liked playing on that website, it worked nicely and it looked awesome. Although I haven't any pending tickets on there, I sure hope they come back some day.
