Title: Bitcoinduit frozen?
Post by: mb300sd on August 21, 2011, 07:02:13 AM
I see 2 rounds with negative expiration times and no deposits have shown up for over 2 hours. I'm guessing theres supposed to be a background process to handle these that isn't running at the moment...?

Fixed.

I fubar'd the semaphore with too many daemon calls while trying to speed the posting and payouts up.

Sorry.

Fixed.

http://bitcoinduit.com/game/viewRound.php?id=The_Forever_Game  now has the 2nd largest jackpot at 5.5650

People will continue to compete to get this jackpot, and the minimum bet is 1.0 BTC, which means bets will continue to get paid out.

This round will literally be The Forever Game.

I'm sort of jealous.

I'm thinking about exposing an API to allow people to auto-bet these games.

Good idea or great idea?

Great idea, although HTML scraping the site isn't that difficult already for anyone that could write a ponzi bot ;)

I personally think gambling should be done "in person".  Leave the bots to the day traders   ;D

Alternatively, I was considering allowing for a deposit auto-bet feature where you can direct your deposited amount to be used to place minimum bets within parameters you set. Example: Place minimum bets in all games where jackpot is at least 5x minimum bet. All proceeds would come to a single receiving address that they specify, and our server would place the bets for them, anonymizing them through proxy receiving addresses.
