Hello Guys,

I created a new Ponzi Schema which is more closed to a small game than a simple Pyramid.

Let me know what you think about it :)

Protect The Castle : A new Ponzi Game is available on Etherium Blockchain!
2x return on Investment + Jackpot
http://protect-the-castle.ether-contract.org/ (http://protect-the-castle.ether-contract.org/)

Story:
The castle is under attack and needs the help of its citizens to support the cost of war.
If you are a loyal citizen and help to finance the defense of the castle, the King will pay you back 2 times what you invested when its fund will allow him to.
If no one contributes to the reparation for 6 hours, the castle will fall under the attack and the last 3 citizens who financed the defence will get the King’s Piggy bank (respectively 55%, 30% and 15%).
If you are the first one to invest after the castle has fallen, you will be the new King's Jester and take 3% of all the transactions until the castle fells again.
There are always some people to bride, so a small fee of 3% is taken to ensure the system keeps working.

Rules:
You get 2 times your investment.

A Piggy Bank of 5% of all transaction is created.
If no one send money for 6 hours, the piggy bank is splitted:
55% for the last investor
30% for the last seond investor
15% for the last third investor

The first one to invest after the 6 hours will become
the king's jester and get 3% of all transactions

A small fee of 3% is taken on all transaction.

Hope you have fun,

Pretty amusing watching how hard some people work to try and win the "jackpot".  Having a jackpot that can be won if nobody pays in for 6 hours is a great motivator but people need to put in more than .01 so the jackpot is actually worth trying to get. At the start people were actually putting in 30-100 so the jackpot grew to about 80 eth. There are only like 5 or 6 big payouts to be made then lots that are .01 so there is still alot of eth to be made off this if gets players like the start.

This is what I'm saying, I can't say this is a scam but all I can say is that I never get paid-back although it has been sometimes

A so-called "ponzi" should pay you back. Otherwise, it is not a "ponzi" or it is a scam

Maybe I'm impatient  8)

Not advertising anything here. Besides, there are now various no-fee ponzi. Which in the end will lead to the death of other ones, mine included (the ones with a real game behind it might survive: Greedpit, etc. will probably doing fine)

Note that there are significant bugs that favor the author here: the function to withdraw the 'fees' doesn't reset the fees, so they can call it repeatedly to withdraw an unlimited amount from the contract. They can also suicide it at any time and take home the whole contents.

Wow people spend a lot of time on this. I guess they think the whole balance can be won? Nobody will ever get a payout other than the little jackpot unless people start adding larger amounts to get past the walls from 14 days ago then after that everyone will would get their payouts extremely quick.

Cool game with fun factor  :D

I would be if deposit minimum was at least 1eth so jackpot could maybe grow to something worth playing for. People dont seem to realize they are paying .01 to try a pot that is currently 0.0155 eth that will get split 3 ways.

It wont ever pay back because people only put in .01 so it will never make it past the early 50-100eth deposits.

Fees are ruining everything ....  :-\

The piggy bank is only 0.015 ETH...  :-[
But still 38 Eth on contract, so fees?



PS: Never such static website needs that much fees, so why people are complaining about it on this contract?

So it's time that people invest a little more ...
