Title: 1.75x Lightning Rounds {closed due to a lack of participation}
Post by: MasonIII on June 23, 2011, 02:55:34 AM
Bitcoin 1.75x – Current Round is located at:

A bit larger payout for those people looking for more bitcoins but still not too large so more people can win.  Since most of these games stagnate after the initial 30 or so minutes, these lightning rounds will allow more opportunities to earn so losers from one round can easily win the next!

Each round will be announced ahead of time so people can get ready for them.


Round 1 Start time: 10pm PDT (a bit over 2 hours from right now)
Round 2 Start time: 12am PDT (1 hour from now) Address updated!
Round 3 Start time: 1:30am PDT Address updated
Round 4 Start time: 5:00pm PDT (1 hour away) Address is updated
Round 5 Start time: 10:30am PDT (1 hour away) Address IS updated

*****ONLY USE THE CLIENT AS I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEND BACK BITCOINS TO ONLINE WALLETS*****
*****Now there is a Min/Max of .2/4*****

How to Play:
1. Deposit your bitcoins at: (but not before the round starts or they will become a donation)

2. Wait for others to deposit after you, when the pot has enough to 1.75x the next in line bet, it will be paid out.

3. Profit and repeat for even more profit

You can watch the action at

You can confirm transactions at

Each round will last 30 minutes, with the next round at least 30 minutes after (They will be announced beforehand)

*I will update as soon as possible, (near instant at the start) but payouts will have to wait until at least 1 confirmation *

**If you have suggestions or comments, feel free to post below or pm me

***This IS a pyramid scheme.  It is just for the fun of the bitcoin community, there will be both winners AND losers.

Haha, love the enthusiasm, but the start time is in 1 hour.  Its the PDT/PST thing screwing people up.  Your bet will be refunded as soon as i can get a confirmation on it.  (:

Notice to all, about 1 hour till start time 5am UTC

To those who the block chain apparently really dislikes, bets that arrive after the round end will be refunded.  For the future rounds, I will be using the client so do NOT send from an online wallet or it will not have a usable return address.

Its over and everything has been paid out.  I started deleting stuff until i realized I should keep it for records... So yea, I learned a lesson, rounds will be kept in a seperate sheet from now on, but round 1 is gone.  All i have are transaction records from mybitcoin.com history

Block explorer cant be use to know the bids order. Is only to verify the transactions.
The order of bids is set in MasonIII btc client.
