Something looks rigged about that, not sure what! A shill perhaps?! Title: Re: A simple lottery with 50% chance to win Post by: pent on July 20, 2011, 07:11:12 PM Wow, he was so close...
And no, no rigging, just getting /dev/urandom bytes from PHP :) Title: Re: A simple lottery with 50% chance to win Post by: anthony_ on July 20, 2011, 09:50:17 PM Wow, he was so close... And no, no rigging, just getting /dev/urandom bytes from PHP :) After having a long run with PRNGs and gambling, I suggest using a TRNG like random.org. You can snatch random numbers from: http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=1&max=100&col=1&base=10&format=plain Anyways, seems very similar to betcoin.eu except the chances on yours are worse, also does it payout 160% winners from the jackpot or is there a seperate bank account then only a certain amount gets entered into the jackpot? Title: Re: A simple lottery with 50% chance to win Post by: pent on July 20, 2011, 10:17:53 PM After having a long run with PRNGs and gambling, I suggest using a TRNG like random.org. Okay, random.org library is on the way. I thought about it. Currently using /dev/urandom source.You can snatch random numbers from: http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=1&max=100&col=1&base=10&format=plain also does it payout 160% winners from the jackpot or is there a seperate bank account then only a certain amount gets entered into the jackpot? Jackpot is an odd number, so it can't win 160%. Jackpot is a Jackpot. You can send any bet (0.1 through 1), and if you take 777, you will be paid with full current jackpot bank. So because "no jackpot" rounds processed when jackpot bank is lower than max bet.Jackpot has a separate "untochable" account, where ##% of any valid incoming transaction is added each time. Ivalid bets (out of 0.1-1 range) are paid back without getting tickets.

Title: Re: A simple lottery with 50% chance to win Post by: pent on July 20, 2011, 10:50:15 PM Sure.
Bet bank initialized with tens of bitcoins to ensure everyone can win if they win. Even if payout is higher than bet bank, lottery transaction can be processed in hand mode later, when i add some funds to bet bank. Jackpot has also separate bank.

I see, I also run a similar game and it is probably the most popular of the three, http://berlin.ifixshit.net/index.php?page=commands !roll is the command for the game. The only problem I have run into is the occasional extreme win streak destroys the bank Title: Re: A simple lottery with 50% chance to win Post by: tysat on July 21, 2011, 12:43:23 AM So if I bet 1 and I won, I would get back 1.6?

And what was the formula you computed this value?Look, its just a lottery. For a house advantages you may visit Nevada state with good house advantage cities in it.

Title: Re: [200% of a bet!!!] A simple automated lottery Post by: pent on August 29, 2011, 03:06:16 AM The special offer week has been ended :) Keep for updates.
Due to active player, we have Jackpot over 10 BTC now! Title: Re: [>10 BTC Jackpot] A simple automated lottery Post by: Jonathan Ryan Owens on August 29, 2011, 07:26:24 AM I call foul. I just purchased 500+ tickets, and now payouts aren't happening anymore, and my current ticket purchases waiting for confirmation (3 confirmations now) are apparently being dripped into the stream, at a lower than purchased rate of return - 0.16 vs 0.20 that I bought in for.
I am calling shenanigans. Shenanigans! Regards, Jonathan Title: Re: [>10 BTC Jackpot] A simple automated lottery Post by: pent on August 29, 2011, 07:31:25 AM Well, the bitcoin network refusing spam transactions from you. They will be confirmed in any way in some time.
Thank you for your game. I'll send you a personal prize 5 BTC, So you will really double your investments. Title: Re: [>10 BTC Jackpot] A simple automated lottery Post by: Jonathan Ryan Owens on August 29, 2011, 07:40:14 AM Oh.. Is it considered spam? Well.. That's inconvenient.
So they aren't confirming even though I paid tx fees? These are good things to know about Bitcoin. I figured I'd try to break your game just like people broke mine. Lol. Title: Re: [>10 BTC Jackpot] A simple automated lottery Post by: pent on August 29, 2011, 07:44:35 AM Nope. I see your transactions coming and coming unconfirmed. Is this was a ddos attack? lol :) Anyway this was fun. I'll return you all of this when it will end up.
If you try to do this with two different wallets, you will see most transactions unconfirmed during long period of time. Title: Re: [>10 BTC Jackpot] A simple automated lottery Post by: Jonathan Ryan Owens on August 29, 2011, 07:46:40 AM Nope. I see your transactions coming and coming unconfirmed.

If you try to do this with two different wallets, you will see most transactions unconfirmed during long period of time. I'm a pretty good authority to try to break stuff. I actually laughed out loud when I saw the web page change and the 200% offer removed. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice ;) -jonathan Title: Re: [>10 BTC Jackpot] A simple automated lottery Post by: pent on August 29, 2011, 07:49:32 AM You didnt break anything, you just get jackpot up to 10 :) They are still comming... fuck ))

You will likely recoup any losses. :D Title: Re: [>10 BTC Jackpot] A simple automated lottery Post by: Jonathan Ryan Owens on August 29, 2011, 08:10:47 AM https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AjEKMLRLs2mOdHJuUXFrNjlaRkNuUUw2OENhSDhGWXc&output=html (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AjEKMLRLs2mOdHJuUXFrNjlaRkNuUUw2OENhSDhGWXc&output=html)
