No one else has done it yet, so I'll get it started.

I have 2 games on Bitcoinduit.

http://bitcoinduit.com/The_Forever_Game
1.15x, 15% jackpot,  Zero fees
This game has been running for over 10 days, and I expect it to run for much longer.
The jackpot is 9.48 BTC.  Someone is always going to get in to try to snag the jackpot, hence the name: The Forever Game

http://bitcoinduit.com/FRIDAY_20_gets_2  (this thread got deleted)
I will pay 2 BTC to the 20th bet
1.34x, 10% jackpot, Zero fees
there are currently 13 bets, and the jackpot is 1.68 BTC

I know Bitcoinduit has on their front page that you can't make a new game "currently", but i have faith that this awesome site will prevail and continue.

Thanks!

What are the rules of the game?  I can't find anything on the site.  Thank you.

Aha.  I'm glad you asked.  Since this will be the main thread for the main ponzi game site, I'm happy to explain.

The reason there's not much info on the site is that it's assumed players already know how this works.  I see you are new to the forums, so please allow me to explain.

These are ponzi games.  A ponzi is when later bettors pay off earlier bettors.  Ponzi schemes  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme are names after Charles Ponzi.  He ran several ponzi "schemes" in the 1920's, and the way he did it was shady and illegal.

The difference here is that the game is completely transparent.  There are no secrets.  It's an acknowledged gamble.

Theres the pot, this is how much is available to pay the bettors
There's the jackpot, that's what the last bettor in will win when the round expires.
Rounds expires after X hours with no one placing a bet.

So, let's say we have a round with a 10% ROI and a 10% jackpot.

The round creator puts in 1 BTC.  0.1 of this goes to the house, this house fee is only on the very first bet of the round.
* So, 1 BTC in.  With 10% ROI, he expects to get paid 1.1 BTC. 0.1 goes to the house, 0.1 to the jackpot.  The pot is now 0.8 BTC
* Bettor #2 puts in 1 BTC.  0.1 goes to the jackpot, which is now 0.2, and 0.9 to the pot, which is now 1.7
     The 1.7 pot is enough to pay bet #1, so he gets paid 1.1.  The pot is now 0.6
* Bettor #3 puts in 0.5 BTC.  0.05 goes to the jackpot, which is now 0.25, and 0.4 goes to the pot.  The pot is now 1.1
     The 1.1 pot is enough to pay bettor #2, so he gest paid 1.1  The pot is now 0.
* Bettor #4 puts in 1 BTC.  0.1 goes to the jackpot, 0.9 goes to the pot.  The pot is now 0.9
   0.9 is enough to pay bettor #3 his 0.55.  The pot is now 0.35

etc....

until no one puts in a bet for x hours (24 or whatever is the number for that round) and the last person in wins the whole jackpot.


All the variables, the pot, the jackpot, the min and max bet, the number of hours before the round expires, they are all visible at all times.  You can make an informed decision before you place a bet.

Some bettors will lose their BTC.  That's why it's called gambling.

Look at some of the existing rounds. See for yourself how a high ROI affects the game vs a low ROI, and similarly how a high vs low jackpot affect the games.  Make an informed decision, and place a bet if you feel confident.

Good luck

I only have two games right now:

http://bitcoinduit.com/Long_bets
20% ROI, 15% jackpot.
Minimum of 0.1, maximum of 2.0.
The jackpot is more than 10x the minimum bet. The game has been getting some activity every 2.5 days, almost all bets of 0.1.

http://bitcoinduit.com/game/viewRound.php?id=Long_Bets_Two-Doubler
ROI: 100%
Jackpot: 30%
Bet range: 0.1-50
Fees: 0
Time to expiration: 24h
This game is still open to early, large bets to be paid off quickly.
Expired

I have 1 round going,

http://bitcoinduit.com/The_Longest_Round

ROI: 20%
Jackpot: 15%
Fees: 0.0%
Minimum Deposit: 0.1000 BTC
Maximum Deposit: 1.0000 BTC
Expiration: 24 hours of inactivity
Deposit Total: 10.4500
Payout Total: 8.6400
Jackpot: 1.5675

This should keep going for a long long time.. :)

That round has indeed been going for a long time, and I have several bets in it.  In fact , I am #17, next to be paid.  :)

I expect that and The Forever Game to pay out for weeks.

Who else feels like the new rules killed ponzi? There hasn't been much activity on bitcoinduit or bitcatch lately... :( although it might have something to do with not being able to create new rounds..

I'm really wishing that someone would have been able to take over bitcoinduit.  I would do so myself, but I'm not certain how well I could maintain it alone.  Perhaps a group of people could be formed if the owner is interested still?

Well, I agree that is *seems* like the new rules killed ponzi.  However, Bitcoinduit already had a double bad day that day before, so I think the rule change was just the very last straw.

Also, just before the change, there was the post about how bitcat.ch was "a fucking scam" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39246.msg483028#msg483028  so I think enthusiasm for that site was already on the down swing.

What good can come of this?

As a result of easy game creation, ponzi was over saturated.  Remember when we would all wait for bitcat.ch to start a round every friday? Or the few weeks King Of The Mountain rules Saturdays?  (until myBitcoin folded)

I hope regular, trusted rounds can make a comeback.  I'd be happy to play 1 or 2 *good* games a week instead of 8 or 10 marginal games a week.

That said, The Forever Game is still going strong :) see my sig.

I think you're right, it was pretty much game over saturation that killed it.  Perhaps I'll start another one up in the future, spreadsheet method and all.  The first one I did went for a long time and had 147.2 BTC played in it.

Hi Ponzi Fans,

Bitcoinduit is BACK!

New rounds are already up.

Create new rounds is also back up.

New forum started:

Have fun.

I was stupid and posted this in a new thread... anyways this offer is still open.
The first 1.5BTC address will get 0.25BTC sent promptly.

The first person to invest 1.5BTC or more from the same address on my game (http://bitcoinduit.com/2nd_gets_half_profit) will receive 0.25BTC for their investment.  Of course, this does not recoup your costs but 1.5 should add 0.225BTC to the jackpot, which I think is enough to get this game going.

EDIT! You can now choose instead to invest 1BTC and get 0.15BTC back.

I didn't start it, but I am playing in http://bitcoinduit.com/GET_TO_THE_CHOPPA

Hehe yes a friend of mine started the round...he's new to Bitcoins, I send him the initial 0,2 BTC and he tried the site ;)

Hi, I have an idea.  Everyone knows the success of the bernie_maddoff [sic] ponzi, which was successful because it had a high jackpot.  I was wondering if we could all pool our money together, create a high jackpot/high return ponzi and share the rewards or losses... such a ponzi would last a long time.

Hi Jonathan,

Bitcoinduit is broken. Will not let me deposit Bitcoin.

Need to fix, please.

n.olmos

What problems are you having? Is it giving you an error?

You can't make new deposits.

Error: Sorry, your request cannot be processed right now. Please try again later.
Go back to round..

n.olmos

Does this happen for every round you try?
edit: Someone else just deposited into the MASSIVE game so there appears to be no problem...

He fixed it now, however I lost Coldmine and Jackpot Deluxe because it would not let me make a deposit.

n.olmos

ED: Now A Real Live One is also gone.

Does anyone notice that the massive jackpot seems to be crowding out all the usual evening activity?  It's like people think, "might as well go get the huge 17 btc jackpot so I won't invest elsewhere."  Last non-massivejackpot investment was about 1.6 hours ago.  Now I'm not criticizing the massive jackpot, but...
diversify, people!!  :D

Two of the expired rounds have been extended. They're still there.

Apologies guys. Fucking Bitcoin.

Seriously. It's a pain in the ass.

-Jonathan

Oh, so YOU can get the jackpot all to yourself?  ;D

foiled again!  >:( ;D

I'm sorry I started it. Lol. It's being sniped every 55-58 minutes, every single hour. It's turning into an ugly monster.

DAMMIT!  someone won it.  Not me   :'(  I was in the shower.

~18BTC...that's huge :D

I am suddenly rich  ;D















jk.
I can't believe that game even ended.

One died and another one popped up http://bitcoinduit.com/MASSIVE_AGAIN (http://bitcoinduit.com/MASSIVE_AGAIN)

Would you invest in it and keep it alive overnight if I were to hypothetically put 3 BTC in? :)

I just got in...i could try :D how long will you be gone?

Er... until I wake up? :P
Which is probably going to be about 10 am EST.
EDIT: JACKPOT WILL SOON (in maybe half an hour) BE 3.45BTC

I can't promise, but I will definitely keep an eye on it :D

Alright I'm in for 1 BTC, will put more later on.
btcrun, if you're still there, I'm putting another BTC in... this jackpot's going to be huge

Keep it alive, folks! 4BTC jackpot and growing
http://bitcoinduit.com/MASSIVE_AGAIN
 :)

I'm in.

So that means the 25% of the initial deposit is returned to the depositor, and the final pot all goes to whoever hosted the round?
Just making sure I'm reading that right.

Let me explain.

I'm tired of seeing single bet rounds expire bet-less because of poor and unattractive rule choices. I actually feel bad for those people, because they really should have just picked rounds that already have activity that have a decent chance of payout. Because of that, I'd prefer that Hosts who actually understand rule settings be the majority of the host population.

Therefore, on initial deposit, 25% of the initial Host Deposit is Bitcoinduits. The expired pot at the end now goes 100% to the host. I'd like to have fewer, more active games, and in order to accomplish that, I did what I did.

I know that some people won't like it, but hey.. Tough luck. Make your own Bitcoinduit and deal with the headaches yourself.

I'd rather have quality over quantity.

Regards,
Jonathan

I think that's a good decision.  Quality over quantity is good.

I definitely support the new rules.

I also think something should be changed to prevent a mostly inactive game from lasting for eternity.  For example, Jackpot Doubler will probably never end because people just keep trying to snipe the jackpot, and with a 72 hour expiration, it takes a long time for someone to decide to finally step in and put in that tiny 0.1 BTC bet.

hmm..

someone put together a bet bot to f*ck with those games then :P

lol

need an API?

-Jon

Well, my short experiment in Ponzi is over (not due to the new rules).  I put in 1BTC and that went up to 3.6BTC in just 4 days, but I lost all of that in the second massive game.  Just thought I'd post my results.  Newcomers: you can actually earn very quickly in this game!

Yeah, I gotta say that I've come out ahead in the ponzi game, but not that much.  I've mined 1.25 BTC over the past two months (Slush's pool with my crappy GeForce 460 GTX that only does about 60 MH/s), but I've gained 1 BTC from the ponzis.  I'm thinking of starting up my own gambling site.  I already know some PHP/MySQL, but I'm so busy with college for the next few days that I don't have the time to look up on coding and interfacing with BitCoin.

Something seems to be wrong with the deposit feature...I deposited 2 times into "JACKSPOT" one even with 1 confirmation, but nothing happens and now the game is over, because of this...

//ATTENTION//

Rule Change

New rounds now have a MAXIMUM duration of 12 hours

I'm only putting in 0.1 this time though.  http://bitcoinduit.com/INSANE

Who wants Bitcoinduit to offer poker games? Raise of hands..

Does anyone know why suddenly bitcoinduit is really quiet?  Usually there are at least 15 deposits (a guesstimate) but today there's just almost no activity at all.

Its labor day.. everyones probably out doing something...

It's a holiday in the USA.

Also,

I usually bet 2-5 BTC a day (or more) on Bitcoinduit, but I lost almost all my BTC ( I lost over 25) in a drunken Blackjack session a few nights ago.  I'll pick up some more tomorrow when the banks open.  I'm actually excited to see how the ExChB "deposit cash at the bank" system works.

same  :D
Except I didn't really have much to begin with... mined for a week and I don't want to buy any just yet.

Sounds like a yes vote from geek-trader.

My loss was ugly.  Blackjack is fickle.

I was up about 7 BTC for the week so far.  I settled in to win more.

I lost about 5, then I kept trying to win them back, and lost all 10 I had in my local wallet.

So I tapped into my savings at MtGox, and lost almost all of it.  Which sucks, because the power bill is due soon, and my mining part of it is about $75.

The only bright side here is that the price has dropped to the low $7 range, so that lessens my loss a bit.  I'm just going to pay the power bill out of pocket and pick up some more BTC tomorrow.

On the bright side, the site operator noticed my huge loss and bought me 2 movie tickets of my choice.  My wife and I saw "Senna" for free yesterday.  Well, kinda free.   :'(

And no more online blackjack for a while.  Ponzi is much safer.  ;D

Really hoping this game gets more activity.  I don't want to have dropped 1.5 BTC just to snag the 0.5 BTC jackpot.  :-(

TOTALLY AWESOME TO THE MAX! NEW_RULZ_12_HR_MAX IS NAMED FOR SPEED AND HIGH PROFITS. YOU WILL BE A MILLIONAIRE IF YOU PLAY THIS GAME!

I HOPE YOU DONT EVEN PLAY BECAUSE I WANT ALL THE WINNINGS TO MYSELF! STAY AWAY!

SUPERMASSIVE JACKPOT (http://bitcoinduit.com/SUPERMASSIVE_JACKPOT)

ROI=30%
JP=30%
Min:1BTC
Max:5BTC

Jackpot is already 2.1BTC

I just got in this round, it seems interesting for small bets, with no big deal
Come on in here http://bitcoinduit.com/BitPonZi_come_1st

Unfortunately, it didn't help enough and I lost my 1.5 BTC.  :-(  My biggest ponzi loss.  I threw all the BTC I've mined in the last two months into it.  Dammit.  I really expected that round to go well.  Bad timing with Labor Day and all, I guess.

Also, to answer the Poker thing...we already have a couple Poker sites for BTC, and they're mostly ghost towns except for the pre-arranged tournaments.  I don't want the BTC poker scene to become more fragmented than it already is.

We're not going to fracture anything. It's more of an integration of servers that we're working on right now. It's also going to be separate from Bitcoinduit. We're going to help to grow the poker sphere. Just you wait.

Any idea why I only got half the pot on my round?

O RLY?

Poop..

What's the amount and the receiving address I should send to?

My apologies! I'll make a note to fix that today (thought we'd changed it.. hmm)

-Jonathan

When bitcoinduit had the brief downtime a few days ago, you extended all the rounds expire time by 10 hours. Can you put them back now?  For example, "The Forever Game" was 48 hours, and now it's 58.  Could you put it back to 48?  There have been bets, so it's been reset since the downtime.

Thanks!

Actually I'm thinking it might even be a good idea to reset all of those old games to min(their original expire time, 12 hours).  They're never going to end at this rate.

Ok. Let's have a vote.

I'm all for 12 hour expiration.

Anyone else? Let's have a vote. Votes tallied in 4 hours.

-Jonathan

I vote set all the rounds greater than 12 hours to 12 hours.  My round, The Forever Game, would be affected, and I'm fine with that.

I'm voting YES for my proposal.

Whoops. I think you totally missed my other post (I thought you just ignored it before). Sorry about seeming to be rude.

http://bitcoinduit.com/game/viewRound.php?id=Long_Bets_Two-Doubler
http://blockexplorer.com/address/19nb5Pe5piPZX8uVNauGHBjMs2ZnSy6NLr

There is a .355 transaction and a .315 transaction at that address. The .315 transaction was because my bet was last and won the jackpot. The pot size was .71 when the round ended, but I only got .355.

EDIT: I'm for setting the rounds to 12 hrs, but only if a day or so of advanced warning is given on the site beforehand.

EDIT2: Fixed the blockexplorer link.

Ah. I was still sleepy when I wrote you back.

The rule changes that I implement are for new rounds starting. If I mess with the older round logic I risk breaking things.

I'm happy to refund you half the pot if you want. Let me know.

Regards,
Jonathan

http://bitcoinduit.com/helpmegetbackto1btc -- expiring very soon!  It'll probably end after the next deposit so you stand a good chance of making something like ~40%.  On the other hand you're welcome to put in 1btc, and then it might not end after all!

I see.

I would be very happy to get a refund, btw.

The 12 hour limit for all the round is interesting, that means more deposits and more chance to get the jackpot :)

Since my last one finally died, with 43 deposits!!, I created another one just like it..

Last one: http://bitcoinduit.com/The_Longest_Round

New one: http://bitcoinduit.com/The_Longerest_Round

Received the other half of the pot, thanks.

You're welcome.

Big Jackpot about to expire!!!

MONOPOLY (http://bitcoinduit.com/MONOPOLY)

Ah rule changes, anyway wasted my last coins so couldn't have kept round going anyway. Still, I don't like changing stuff without any notice, for those people you got email. Not sure if it would have been possible to inform those who have unfilled bit with email about change in rounds they are in.

Hmm.. People don't like change. It's true. If you go back through the thread, you'll see that there was notice.

What's your receiving address? I'll send you a gift.

-Jonathan

Un-noticed change, no need, I lost my share.

Just a suggestion: add Jackpot % in the list of games too, it would contain all needed info then.

Good point.. We have never sent a single email to anyone though. I forgot we even did email collection to be honest. That was implemented more as a record keeping function for the users.

Next time there's a rule change, we'll spam everyone.

Jonathan

Latest game in this new generation of quicker ponzis with bigger jackpots: Under_The_Wire (http://bitcoinduit.com/Under_The_Wire)

ROI: 20%
Jackpot: 20%
Fees: 0.0%
Minimum Deposit: 0.2000 BTC
Maximum Deposit: 20.0000 BTC
Expiration: 11 hours of inactivity

This one is destined to grow quickly, so get in early and then get in Under The Wire (http://bitcoinduit.com/Under_The_Wire) for the jackpot!

I think I found a bug.  If you create a round with a 0.4 minimum the software says, "please send your initial deposit of between 0.5 and ..."

Not a bug so much as a feature we didn't implement yet. It's the minimum host deposit, which should be 0.5, even if rounds are 0.1 minimum for players.

Not a bug, just not currently enforced.

Jonathan

Please donate so I can start participating in ponzis again!

I think it might be a good idea if bitcoinduit were to remove the caps on jackpot.  We have a limit at 30 right now but some people might be interested in 50% or 75% and I think we should let the market decide whether those percentages are workable or not.

I've just started a prime_numbers round:

roi: 7%
jackpot: 13%

I'll reinvest!

I hate Bitcoinduit.

Sorry.

I really want to see it die. Still, you guys like it, so it will stay up.

However, in a minute we're going to switch to poker, and we're writing the API and backend to support centralized listing of all the poker games that are under way. seals with clubs, btcontilt, I'm talking to you.

I'm in your room, checkin' out your table. How do I get listed?

With a callback link that I'm generating for you right now. You put it in the callback area on your server. Now, if you're using that already, instead of the server API, which would be silly, then there's a problem.

Otherwise, just put the link i send you in the callback url area and check the boxes for stats.

Did you take a site template from 1995?  The background on that site looks like it... haha

You called?

Sort of, yes.

I'm all about functionality.

Maybe i'll update it, but the back end is way more important.

-Jonathan

Now that I can understand.... anytime I make a site it ends up being white background/black text because I make it work and don't worry about how it looks till it works the way I want it to.  Even when I'm done I can't make them look nice all by myself.

No jackpot! So house advantage is 12% (enforced by system, I tried to set 0% fees)! You just bet and get your 30% ROI.

We have a bitponzi thread already... :P

The house takes 2% of each deposit, and 10% of the first. 12%. House only get the 10% when a second deposit is made. But yes, bitconduit is old, bitponzi is the new one.
