Title: Higher/Lower Game
Post by: lulzplzkthx on May 08, 2011, 10:13:59 PM
This has been discontinued due to glitches and bugs.

Hello,

Since we don't have enough gambling games yet (:P) I've created a higher or lower game for Bitcoin. It could also be seen as a skill / math game, not just gambling I suppose.

It uses random numbers from random.org. Please tell me if you encounter any bugs, or don't like something you see.

You can play the game here (http://testingzone.zapto.org/).

Current minimum bet is .01 BTC, and maximum bet is .05 BTC. This will be raised soon, hopefully. Please do not bet above or below this, or your money could be lost.

Please also note that this is a trial run, and if I'm losing too much money, I won't be able to continue. This site could come down at any moment.

Played once, everything went smoothly.

I guess I must have been very lucky, my number ended up being zero  ;D

Ok, just played a game, and it was 0 again...

I don't think I could be THAT lucky!

lulz, double check everything because I think it might be malfunctioning!

I'll do it one more time just to make sure.

EDIT:  What??

Please send my 0.1 BTC back to 13ZXGBhkeFQ8nt1xpMAWGAS6gbhZUJ5j6A

I can't wait to play! It's going to take years though before my 0.02 has 1 confirmation.

Please check your PMs, I'm willing to send back .08 BTC, as that's the amount you didn't bet with.

Good luck with your projects! ;)

It's back up again. Sorry for the delay. Please tell me if it breaks again, and I'm working to make sure everything is going smoothly.

PLEASE DON'T BET OVER .05 BTC.

Hmmm.. that doesn't work, but it works in another browser... strange.

What browser doesn't it work in, can I ask?

Technically, it worked in incognito mode, not another browser.  Clearing my cookies made it work again.

It uses random numbers from random.org.

So it definitely is not like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR9h3d_4NGA) then?

Hahaha, I hope not.

P.S. I saw your ninja edit.

Okay, I have returned your .1 BTC yrral86, and the site should be functional for anyone else who wishes to play.

Remember, no bets over .02 BTC.

Aw, crap! I just lost 0.08 BTC because I thought the address I sent 0.10 BTC to was like an account for multiple plays. You really need to make it more clear that every payment is 1 bet and should not be more than 0.02 BTC.

Sigh, I thought it was clear with my 3 bold "DO NOT SEND MORE THAN .02 BTC". What's an address I can send the .08 BTC to, and I'll update the page.

My address is 1KSrAsjVPov6JK772xQ4Lazneq8zaAgH6z

I don't remember seeing the "PLEASE DO NOT SEND MORE THAN .02 BTC AT A TIME" before I sent my payment.

Oh, I forgot to list it on the page. It was listed in this forum. Sorry.

In other news, the max bet is now .05 BTC.

Thank you for returning my 0.08 BTC.
I remember reading that the maximum bet was .02 BTC. I just didn't realize that each payment equals one bet  :D

Understandable. Thanks for playing.

Oh yeah, so the two I won I never got payed.

It says +0.19 (twice) but it's grayed out...

What does this mean?

EDIT: Also I tried playing just now, and after 30 seconds it tried to refresh but has just been stuck loading...

It says +0.19 in Bitcoin? How did you earn +.19? The max bet is .05 and the max payout is +.15? That's not from me. What was your Bitcoin address that you sent to, and how many guesses did it take you to win?

Also, Bitcoind broke, it's back up now.

Hi,

I sent 0.02 to the address given, and it said it would refresh every 30 seconds until found.

But I've just come back to my desk and found the page blank.

So I refreshed it, but now it has given me a different payment address, so it seems my original is lost?

I originally deposited to 1KM7TfYsd...

I'm going to now deposit 0.05 to this new address that's showing, and hope it gets confirmed faster.

Cheers.

I think it had to do with a glitch earlier, refuding your .02 BTC if you can give me a return address.

Please also refund the 0.05 I just sent to 1F5iYSz...

Because this time, the page auto-refreshed as it says it will, but it refreshed with a completely new address... so no idea what happened to my 0.05 deposit.

Alright, I'm taking the game down at least for a bit until I can figure things out.
