Title: Satoshi Buckets - A game with a winning strategy! 1 BTC GIVEAWAY, 0.3 BTC LEFT. Post by: bitshy on May 22, 2013, 08:17:22 PM Come play Satoshi Buckets (http://satoshibuckets.bitshy.org), a game with a winning strategy! Here's the rules:

Here are the rules:
The three buckets are:
You can see more information at Satoshi Buckets (http://satoshibuckets.bitshy.org). My recommended strategy is to bet on whichever bucket has the highest long-term expected value. (Click on the link to see the calculated expected values.) This game is provably fair! It also doesn't cause blockchain spam, since rounds happen at most once per new block. Try it out! Non-Newbie version of this thread. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=213306.0) Did you code this yourself? Pretty cool! Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A Strategic Bitcoin Betting Game Post by: bitshy on May 22, 2013, 08:29:03 PM Did you code this yourself? Pretty cool! Yes! I learned a lot about using bitcoind and about web development! Thanks. :-) Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A Strategic Bitcoin Betting Game! Win several times! Post by: bitshy on May 22, 2013, 10:41:53 PM Just a heads up. I changed the minimum amount per round requirement. Now it's only necessary for there to be ฿0.01 in each bucket for a round to be triggered on new block. This means that, at this exact moment, anyone betting on the green bucket has an expected payout of 120%.
Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A Strategic Bitcoin Betting Game! Win multiple times! Post by: ToLy on May 22, 2013, 11:02:55 PM Cool idea man.
I think a more proffesional design will atrract more people to place bets. Also, you can make the minimum even lower Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A Strategic Bitcoin Betting Game! Win multiple times! Post by: The Goat Master on May 22, 2013, 11:13:58 PM Cool idea man. I think a more proffesional design will atrract more people to place bets. Also, you can make the minimum even lower I can do graphic design for you. I'm not very established on the forums so I can do it for a low price. (it's a win-win, you get a low price and I get more rep on the forums!) Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A Strategic Bitcoin Betting Game! Win multiple times! Post by: bitshy on May 22, 2013, 11:33:38 PM Thanks for the feedback, guys. I don't think setting a lower minimum is a good idea -- the transaction cost starts eating up all of the bet. Right now the minimum is around $1 per bet. I don't think that's too much.
The Goat Master, send me a PM. Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A Strategic Bitcoin Betting Game! Win multiple times! Post by: pheaonix on May 22, 2013, 11:33:47 PM i paid into green bucket and it didn't fall, no payment yet though

I will reimburse you manually, and I am already at work trying to prevent this problem in the future. Due to an wrong coding, Satoshi buckets can't find the return address. Technical details: I'm using the change output to find the return address. This doesn't work when a transaction doesn't have a change output, like this one. So now I have to look at the script signature to find the return address. Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A Strategic Bitcoin Betting Game! Win multiple times!

Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A Strategic Bitcoin Betting Game! Win multiple times! Post by: bitshy on May 24, 2013, 01:06:52 PM I added a round timer!

Satoshi Buckets has been evolving rapidly. Sometimes the changes made aren't the best possible changes, so they get adjusted later. Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A Strategic Bitcoin Betting Game!

Interesting trends! Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - Win multiple times! Post by: bitshy on June 01, 2013, 10:30:33 PM Testimonials from the other thread!
The blue bucket has made me so much profit so far :D Same! I can now afford to buy a mcdouble now for free! ;D Love the game been playing for the past 3 days Red just dumped... someone refill it! I can see that I'm going to get addicted to this game. This game... is amazing. Seriously. It's about time someone comes up with something fresh and new. I love the concept. Lots of people are having fun playing! Why don't you try it, too? :-) Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - Win multiple times! Post by: bitshy on June 02, 2013, 09:59:43 AM The house cut has been reduced to 0.5% until June 9! Now's the best time to try the game, if you're curious!

Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game! PROMOTION until June 9. Post by: bitshy on June 02, 2013, 01:38:00 PM Wait... so we earn an amount each time the bucket doesnt fall or when other buckets fall :I You earn some amount whenever a bucket falls. If your bucket falls, you only earn 0.5% of your original value. If someone else's bucket falls, you split half of the fallen bucket with the other people that invested in your bucket. Every round, one bucket falls. However, if there is not at least 0.01 BTC in each bucket, the round is skipped. Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game!

Right now you can click on the buckets to see what is happening with each bucket (courtesy of blockchain.info). It's not as good as coinrun right now, but it's better than nothing!

Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game! HOUSE CUT ONLY 0.5% until June 9. Post by: bitshy on June 07, 2013, 03:11:26 AM Hey folks! I've raised the minimum amount in each bucket per round to 0.02 BTC. This will reduce the amount of money that is chewed up in Bitcoin transaction fees. This should also raise the expected value of all the current buckets!
Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game! HOUSE CUT ONLY 0.5% until June 9. Post by: bitshy on June 07, 2013, 03:40:00 AM To clarify: the minimum bet is still 0.01 BTC, but no bucket will fall until all buckets have at least 0.02 BTC.
Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game! HOUSE CUT ONLY 0.5% until June 9. Post by: i3lome on June 07, 2013, 05:04:49 AM Were looking for big winners now. Still the most profitable game I found that I don't mind losing too
Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game! HOUSE CUT ONLY 0.5% until June 9. Post by: firefop on June 07, 2013, 05:05:18 AM So i'm a little unclear on the payout schema here.
When a bucket falls the total is cut in half and pays the other 2 buckets (which didn't fall). How is the payout distributed inside each bucket... proportionally? So put in 0.1 and 10 others put in 0.01... I would get half the payout going to that bucket.. or 25% of the fallen bucket? Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game! HOUSE CUT ONLY 0.5% until June 9. Post by: i3lome on June 07, 2013, 05:52:39 AM To me it seems it 1 bucket falls with .01 btc ~3% is subtracted and the rest goes to each person with a bet on a bucket
Say Ted bids 0.01 Red, BoB bids 0.01 Blue and James goes 0.01 Green. Red Falls Ted loses his 0.01 0.01- 3% (server cost)= ~0.008 Bob and James receive ~0.004 and goes to the next Round. Then the fun continues Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game! HOUSE CUT ONLY 0.5% until June 9.

Hi firefop! When a bucket falls, with value X, the following happens:
So in case that you had 0.1 BTC in a bucket, and 10 other people had 0.01 BTC in that bucket, you would get half of the payout going to that bucket. That's roughly 25% of the value of the fallen bucket. This is true regardless of whatever the other standing bucket contains. Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game!

They are falling. :-) You just gotta be patient. This game is all based on the blockchain and its inherent unpredictibility. So sometimes it takes a while, but it will fall. Rest assured that when a problem does occur, I will take care of it. Thanks for letting me know your concern! Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game!

Post by: bitshy on June 08, 2013, 11:49:17 PM You know - you could make a companion game to let others bet on things like when the buckets will fall... what range the winnings will be in... etc. I'll have to think about this. I have already thought about implementing a companion game where you bet on which bucket is going to fall. If you get it right, you get some of the fallen bucket's money. Otherwise, the money goes to the people who played in that bucket. But unless there is some demand for that, I'm going to leave the buckets as they are for now, and let the player base grow, before trying something too different.

Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game! HOUSE CUT ONLY 0.5% until June 9. Post by: bitshy on June 09, 2013, 01:46:48 AM I did a more in-depth analysis of the bucket history. Here's what I extracted.

One-round winnings:
Long-term winnings:
Explanation:
I think it's interesting that a game with simple rules results in so much unknown behavior. I think it's also interesting that the green bucket has been losing so much lately. You'd expect it to always be somewhere in the middle! Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A new kind of Bitcoin game! HOUSE CUT ONLY 0.5% until June 9.

This is the best time to try out Satoshi Buckets! The house fee is 0.5% for one more day (then it will be raised to 1%, to try and cover the costs of running the server). The minimum bet is very low now, so it's a good time to try it out. Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - 1 BTC GIVEAWAY! Post by: bitshy on June 11, 2013, 12:43:13 AM GIVEAWAY STARTS NOW!

The rounds just keep restarting and the chance percentage keeps going up. Sorry about the inconvenience! Sometimes one of the bets takes a long time to confirm. The site tallies up all the bets, including the unconfirmed ones. Once every bucket has a confirmed ฿0.025, one bucket falls. But if some bet takes a long time to confirm, it won't be part of the round, so a round won't trigger. First giveaway day results are coming right up! Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - 1 BTC GIVEAWAY!

WIN 0.1 BTC EVERY DAY! 0.9 BTC LEFT. Post by: bitshy on June 12, 2013, 10:27:59 AM A little bit of math about the giveaway:
There were 68 entries yesterday. Each 0.005 BTC bet was worth about 2.5 entries on average. Each 0.005 BTC bet gave you around 4% chance to win the giveaway. That means that each 0.005 BTC bet gives you 4% chance to earn 0.1 BTC -- that's 0.004 BTC expected value -- beyond what you already earn from playing Satoshi Buckets. IN OTHER WORDS, minimum bets are about 80% cheaper thanks to the giveaway. The expected return of a minimum bet is much more than 100%! These are much better odds than, say, SatoshiDice. (That's why this is a giveaway, not a lottery.) Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - 1 BTC GIVEAWAY! WIN 0.1 BTC EVERY DAY! 0.9 BTC LEFT. Post by: bitshy on June 12, 2013, 12:10:05 PM There have been some rather huge buckets lately! There was a round with R=0.125, G=0.19, B=0.15. That was the biggest round yet!
If things like this happen more often, I'll raise the minimum round threshold to 0.05 BTC per bucket, to prevent people from winning a large bucket with a much, much smaller bet amount. (This would once again also reduce back and forth transaction fees.) Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - 1 BTC GIVEAWAY! WIN 0.1 BTC EVERY DAY! 0.9 BTC LEFT.

This time there were 32 fallen buckets, for a total of 206 entries in the giveaway. The last block considered was 00000000000000e787eb22c9315c7306ce44f7f1832bc8595b204922c9d87cd5.

This time I went with a slightly different method of selecting the winner, which is a lot easier to administer manually and less error prone. (It also slightly benefits people who enter in smaller rounds over larger rounds. Sorry, but I do think the simplification is worth it.) Essentially, the block hash is now used to pick the winning transaction, and then to select an entry at random from it. So, the last considered block was 00000000000000e9e6d637cadd9059c0ab1cf11175b8f25722ad00270fd01265. This selects the 19th transaction, 5fda6b83c423cad6fdf692937bc5033bd06fa0cc613120fd88a3ce628287008e, and the first entry from that transaction.

Satoshi Buckets was offline for a few days due to a hardware failure (look in the other thread for the drama and the mystery and the details), but it is officially up and running now. The giveaway continues! Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - UP AND RUNNING! 1 BTC GIVEAWAY, 0.6 BTC LEFT. Post by: bitshy on June 19, 2013, 10:57:38 AM Coming up: fourth giveaway results. But first, an announcement.
ANN: The bucket minimum per round has been increased to 0.05 BTC. This will result in smaller transaction fees, and more fluidity (since the minimum bet is now one tenth of the round minimum). This change was instituted at a time when the red bucket had 0 BTC and the green and blue buckets had 0.05 BTC, so nobody was negatively affected. (The expected value of the red bucket went down, but nobody was betting there. The expected values of the green and blue buckets went up.) FOURTH GIVEAWAY RESULTS This time, we considered transactions from 14th to the 18th, since there was an interruption of service. There were 33 transactions considered. The last block hash was , so the 22nd transaction was picked, and the 3rd entry from that transaction is the winner. So ... CONGRATULATIONS 14dD2jzPSpY4kzVacPbVThk187MCupwLCu, YOU WIN 0.1 BTC!

It counts down the all of a sudden it jerks and starts counting back up again. if I refresh the page the counter is on a totally different number. I had you open on my iPad and its counter was totally different to my computer. The counter chance factor rises and rises to over 90 % and then goes back to 50% with nothing happening. Please can you explain what is going on & yes the wagers are all on 0.05 or over. Thank you Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A GAME WITH A WINNING STRATEGY! 1 BTC GIVEAWAY, 0.5 BTC LEFT.

Please can you explain what is going on & yes the wagers are all on 0.05 or over. Thank you Hi dirty dog. Thanks for the feedback! The round timer counts the time since the last block, and gives you the time that you can expect a new block. It's independent of when a round is actually triggered or not -- it resets every time a new block is found. As you know, a round is triggered when a new block is found, as long as all buckets have 0.05 BTC or more. It can happen that the web site says all buckets have 0.05 BTC or more, but a round isn't triggered on the next block. This happens only when one of the transactions doesn't get confirmed in the new block. This transaction will usually get confirmed in the next block, so sometimes there is a one round delay. There isn't much that can be done about this. There was a bug I found earlier today with rounds not triggering that was caused by a floating point error. (Basically, the server thought there were only 0.04999999 BTC, not 0.05 BTC, so it didn't trigger.) But I fixed that, so there shouldn't be any more problems with rounds getting triggered.

Thanks for explanation, I am really enjoying the game, however the red bucket with the highest % odds (42%) to fall, refuses to fall, great for the investors of that bucket, but not for me. Is there anyway we can see a history of previous games, so that we can monitor how buckets have fallen in the past?? Once again great game, I might just become a regular.

There isn't currently a history page, but you can download history.csv (http://satoshibuckets.bitshy.org/live/history.csv), a file that contains all of the bucket history. You can open it in a text editor like notepad, or in a spreadsheet program like Excel. You can also click on the buckets to see the individual bucket history. Glad you're enjoying it!

I noticed you have not posted winners since day 6 ?? I know your site is a bit quite of late, I lost all mine so I will have to wait for a refill before I can play again ;P I was not a big fan of different BTC amounts depending on bucket, as it minimized the ability for a player to take advantages of unbalanced buckets. I certainly think you are on to something with your game, however I am not sure if buckets will ever become mainstream. Having to wait a good couple of minutes for the BTC to clear is definitely a big disadvantage compared to your competitors that are instant. There is certainly a fortune to be made with the right game, (I wish I had your ability to create) I just went to https://just-dice.com/ You can't believe the volume over one bet per second. If you could imitate that wow. Keep on programming cheers dirty dog Title: Re: Satoshi Buckets - A game with a winning strategy! 1 BTC GIVEAWAY, 0.4 BTC LEFT.

Due to a lower transaction volume, I clumped together the last two days with giveaway day #7. This gives 28 transactions, which is around the same volume as the previous giveaways -- so I don't think anyone has really been hurt. This means that the giveaway can last a bit longer, too.

Post by: bitshy on June 24, 2013, 10:16:39 PM Hi Bitshy. I noticed you have not posted winners since day 6 ?? I know your site is a bit quite of late, I lost all mine so I will have to wait for a refill before I can play again ;P I was not a big fan of different BTC amounts depending on bucket, as it minimized the ability for a player to take advantages of unbalanced buckets. I certainly think you are on to something with your game, however I am not sure if buckets will ever become mainstream. Having to wait a good couple of minutes for the BTC to clear is definitely a big disadvantage compared to your competitors that are instant. There is certainly a fortune to be made with the right game, (I wish I had your ability to create) I just went to https://just-dice.com/ You can't believe the volume over one bet per second. If you could imitate that wow. Keep on programming cheers dirty dog Thank you for your thoughts and your encouragement! I'm sorry about the slowness of posting the giveaway. The last couple days have been very complicated for me in real life. I reverted the "different bucket minimums" change, so we're back at ฿0.05 round minimum. It's a lot simpler and quite a bit more interesting, like that. |
