Thank you for the answer, but I know my math
A "No, we wont" would have been more honest.
An Example: starting at 0.1, multiplier 1.5, gain 25%, consolation prize 50%:
pot is 0.10000000 Bomb is at 0.10000
if game ends here repaying 0.05000000 Win is 0.05
pot is 0.12500000 Bomb is at 0.15000
if game ends here repaying 0.07500000 Win is 0.05
pot is 0.16250000 Bomb is at 0.22500
if game ends here repaying 0.11250000 Win is 0.05
pot is 0.21875000 Bomb is at 0.33750
if game ends here repaying 0.16875000 Win is 0.05
pot is 0.30312500 Bomb is at 0.50625
if game ends here repaying 0.25312500 Win is 0.05
And so on.
A consolation prize below 50% would give out higher profits, the higher the Bomb gets.
For example: 20% consolation+10% to instant Win Pot would leave you with 20% +0.05 BTC Win.
Why not try it? You could launch a consolation test bomb after the carpet bomb has stabilized.
Btw: I like the group bomb principle too
