Bitcoin Forum

The rules are almost the same as in our previous edition (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=525236) (except the "high roller bonus" up to 1BTC).




Crazy fact #1

The chat lotto will go completely nuts. You can expect awesome giveaways by just chatting.   :)


Crazy fact #2

5 bets will be selected from the list of bets played within that hour (LB time) in a provably fair manner.

We will hash the following strings:
<number_of_bets_played_during_that_hour>:1   <- for first winner
<number_of_bets_played_during_that_hour>:2   <- for second winner
etc.
From the resulting SHA256 hashes we take the last 4 bytes, convert to a number, and
use that number to select the winners from the bets that occurred during the crazy hour (with modulo).
(bets are sorted by time, in case of conflict, lower txid wins)

All of the selected winning addresses get 0.05 BTC! :)


Crazy fact #3

The largest bet played during that hour will receive the "high roller bonus".
If this largest bet is played during the first 1/2h, the "high roller bonus" will be 1 BTC, and if it is played during the second 1/2h, the "high roller bonus" will be 0.5 BTC. :)

If there are several bets with the same amount, the winner is selected randomly among them
using a similar method as described above for the first winner of crazy fact #1.




All winners will get their rewards immediately after the crazy hour is over.

hell yea, cant wait!!  great prizes last time!!  go bet pool!

DAMMIT right after I sell my BTC. Fuck this is the kinda shit that makes me feel bad.

I won't miss it!

Want a piece of that huge 1BTC prize but don't have the coin? I have the solution!

Chip in on the Lucky Bit Regulars green big-bet pool! We'll all pool everything we can and send the biggest bet everyone can scrounge up. If we can score the largest bet of the hour, that huge prize will be split up with everyone that participates! 2.5BTC may seem like a lofty goal but we already have several people willing to chip in big amounts, so even 0.001BTC will get us that much closer to the prize.

Read all about the Lucky Bit Regulars betting pools here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521727)! The more you can send, the bigger slice of the prize you can win! Let's all work together and take home the gold.

There is no minimum bet to get the 0.05?

Last time high roller winner : Winner of fact #3
Max amount played is 0.965 BTC (3 times, all same address)
Winner is 1LBregs3t4goLpvBghbJbFLoyt1rPL3jJh

No, the bet must be valid that's all.

So the minimum bet is 0.0005

If someone bet 2.51 and someone bet 2.5 who will win the 1B considering the max bet is suppose to be 2.5?

A bet of 2.51 would be invalid (because above max). Invalid bets are sent back to the sender immediately without being shown on the game area (they are visible in the bet browser, though).
Only valid bets are considered for the rewards.

I don't know whether I will be able to enjoy the crazy hour cause the time in India is IST (GMT +05.30) and it would be like 3.00 AM here (midnight).
Yet I will try my best to enjoy with you guys. Good luck all for the next crazy hour.

Won't miss it this time :)

Sligthly more than a day left. Get ready!

What will you do if you have 2 bets of 2.5BTC??
will you split the high roller bonus?


if someone makes 3 bets of 1 BTC will it be considered 3BTC?

As explain formally in the OP, in this situation the winner of the "high roller bonus" would be selected randomly among the 2.

No, the "high roller bonus" is for a single bet.
But if you play more bets you have more chance to get one of the bonus of Crazy fact #2.

I think it would be better to split the 1B or 0.5B between the highest bet instead of finding the winner by a draw

Point taken. But we prefer to make a whole big prize rather than dilute it.
(With your reasoning, the 5 bonus of crazy fact #2 would get insignifiants if shared among all bets...).

I understand it would not make sense for the 5 0.05B bonus to be diluted, the largest prize will probably not be shared anyway

green pool goin for big prize again!!  hope the best for our efforts........want in the bet pool??

 lets get the green pool to max bet to win bonus prize for CH!!!

This going to be insane!

The time isn't GMT, it is GMT-1, because it starts at 11 PM GMT+1.

It starts at 09PM GMT/UTC time and lasts for one hour so it starts in 56min

i will be there right on time :)

ok well I tried to connect for the first time.  I can't play if I'm using Chrome or something?  Never had any problems on any site before...

Depends on your browser. Chrome usually works best, but Firefox is also ok.
Safari should be ok.
Recent IE works as well. Opera fucks up the layout.

5mn :)

It stopped, apparently the pool will win the 1B bonus and there has been hundreds of bets, when will we know the winners?

Will be announced right here in few minutes!

Ok cool I stay tuned then

Too bad the unclaimed 0.12 loto chat bonus wasn't given back

Those last lottos were truly insane  :D

Yeah 0.05 won! Thank you for the give away

1B for the biggest bet only attracted one big 2.5 bet from the pool apparently so maybe you'll do a 5x0.2 prize next time so we stand a chance ;)

your welcome for the Blockchain.info comments

YAY!

Won 50 mBTC x 2 :D

Dam ! I miss it again ! argg

I know how you feel I always miss the 10,000satoshis/min faucet of PD that happens from time to time


How many bets did you send?

Whens the next one ?

Probably not before an other 2months

Gosh is gonna be a while till the next game i heard, there is a speical prize for the 250,000 bet, thats a long way to go.  oh well

Last crazy hour was great, it probably brings a few new players and gain the loyalty of existing players

I am looking forward for the next happy hour , i miss the last one and wish i could join this one this time !

There will be a huge bonus for the one making the 250000th bet, and it is possible to have a happy hour on that day.

Hope that binary will announce it 1 day earlier so i wont miss it again , i cant be online for the whole day ...
