Title: I like the new ponzi idea - 10th get 1, 20th gets 2, etc
Post by: geek-trader on August 24, 2011, 05:57:46 PM
This is a great idea.  I just got in 10th_bet_gets_1BTC_p2: http://bitcoinduit.com/10th_bet_gets_1BTC_p2

I assume it's the round owner making the payment manually, not Bitcoinduit doing it automatically.

This would be a great option for bitcoinduit to add so it does get done automatically.

According to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39059.0 the owner has yet to pay them out.

Also makes sense since it doesn't seem that the owner would have made enough off of fees and their own bets in order to even earn that 1BTC.

Yeah, and we don't know who the owner is of these 2 (10th_bet...)  >:(

Whoever it is just started a third Round with an initial deposit of 2 BTC!

The ones that are official, and reliable to be paid are the ones that both Geek-trader and myself have started.

Don't play any other rounds at this time. I was testing the idea before inclusion as a host feature for starting a new game, where the "host fees" area would adjust upward to cover the indicated payout under host settings, on nth bet.

I'm looking at IP logs, and if it's a residential address, he will go on the wall of shame, and his IP address will be permanently banned.

Jonathan

Has whoever put the 10th bet in the second one been paid? I still have not received my 1 BTC from the first one.

Nope, I just got 0.01 BTC, also.
