Title: 30 MINUTES LEFT!
Post by: I.Goldstein on October 25, 2011, 08:51:12 PM
All of my personal profits that are gained from my Bilderberg_Blitz (http://bitcoinduit.com/Bilderberg_Blitz) round on Bitcoinduit will be going to a reputable charity of the community's choice*. That is up to 50 BTC going towards a good cause and the Bitcoin name along with the chance of winning a jackpot of over 130 BTC, if you play.

If you wish to pledge your profits as well, PM me and I'll post your name in the original post of this thread.

Thank you guys. You can reach the game in my signature and the link above. Rules and other information are available right on the site. Feel free to PM me or ask in this thread if you have any questions.

*A poll will be made shortly after the game ends.

Charity Pledges:

I.Goldstein: 24.5-50 BTC Pledge

Ineededausername: 10 BTC Pledge

Also, if The Bitcoin Foundation classifies itself as a non-profit organization, I will include that in the poll.

This is wonderful! 
I think a feature is in order: An option to donate the ROI to charity (and you provide the address).

I think the general donation address from Bitcoin Charities ought to do. I think they've proven themselves as an organization.

Also, thank you for your 10 BTC pledge. : )

Maybe a drop-down list is better (if we list the "biggest" charities).  In the meantime, I'll implement that ASAP.

We're getting closer to profit for charity. The pot has been increased to 130 BTC.

One hour left. This is nearly 130 BTC, folks. I wouldn't let it go so easily.

Are you no longer against charity for mankind?
I have never been, Matthew. Stop listening to those man children on Something Awful.

Please make your post before loaning and check block explorer for any previous loans.

Interesting..

Do you forfeit your winnings if it doesn't mature or something?

Any profitable winnings gained go to a charity of the forums choice.

If there are any winnings, they will go to charity.

Since you're playing stupid, I'll rephrase.

Do you get less to give to charity if it doesn't mature to a certain minimum or something?

If I don't get any winnings above what I put into it, then none goes to charity. I take a loss. If there is any profit (which goes to charity), it might be less than 50 BTC.

How do you take a loss exactly? If no one gets paid, don't you just get your original deposit back?

I assume that's why you're sniping for last?

I put 100 BTC into it and most of it went into the jackpot which goes to the winner. If I get less than the 100, I take a loss.

Both the jackpot and pot have been paid out.

I thought early gift givers get paid too, what happened to that?

Stats for Confirmed Gifts:
Gift Total: 199.1300
Payout Total: 0.0000
Fees Total: 3.9913
Pot: 45.7912
Stakes: 149.3475
Reimbursement: 0.0000

I guess I totally do not understand this thing and Its my own fault for putting 10 btc into something that admittedly calls itself a scheme :(

maybe some day someone could post a better description of what this thing actually does.

Cablepair, I'm very sorry if you didn't understand the game and lost because of it :(
Basically, the jackpot on this round was 75%, so most (75%) of the money gifted went to paying out the LAST depositor.  The pot itself, as you can see, was only 45.79 BTC, which was not enough to pay out Atlas because that would require 74.5 BTC. (50 * 1.49)
Here, read the rules.

Again, sorry about that.  I can give you a 5 BTC freeroll since you feel a bit scammed.  Settings please!
