We have updated the pot size to help finish off the beta process. The pot sizes were to small creating rounds that were to fast and not well balanced.

New pot size varies from 1-5 btc.

Have fun playing.

These rounds are going pretty fast. The current pot is 50% of the way purchased. You should have good odds of winning right now since the pot totals are kept small for the beta!

The current round has already sold over 2/3 of the shares available. Hurry up and purchase your shares so the winner can get to their happy ending Smiley

Hey Guys,

     Although the project itself is not done, all the programming for functionality has been completed and would like you all to help test it out. To help things go quicker, the payout on the raffles has been shrunk down to create faster games for testing purposes. Check it out and feel free to leave any feedback.

1 What other fields can we change in the message when mining, other than the nonce?
The timestamp, the coinbase transaction, the list of transacations included in the block.
Quote
2 Where is the extraNonce located?
My recollection is that the 'extraNonce' is the coinbase. See here where its put into the input of the coinbase transaction:

    pblock->vtx[0].vin[0].scriptSig = CScript() << pblock->nBits << CBigNum(nExtraNonce);
    pblock->hashMerkleRoot = pblock->BuildMerkleTree();

Quote
3 Where is the time (and can we change it as we see fit while mining, or are we required to keep it in a certain range)?
The time is in the header, but it must be kept in a sensible range.


Good answers. I was just gonna say work with 6 other dwarfs and capitalize on woman work.

Here is a link that will show you where to find your unique ID, also known as your wallet.dat file. The link also explains how to encrypt the file when your not using it. (recommended)

Unfortunately we recently discovered that our database (essentially a list of addresses and the block number in which they first appear) was missing part of several blocks. We took the site down to recheck the whole database and add some checks so that it can't happen again.

Does this mean our firstbits are no longer valid?

Do you have insurance to be practicing engineering or is your work uninsured? Are you licensed/registered?

MDKing

"Engineering in the UK is not a licensed profession. In general, there is no restriction on the right to practice as an engineer in the UK"

So the answers to my questions would be your work is uninsured and you are not registered with any of the engineering bodies, such as Engineering Council UK, as a Chartered/Incorporated Engineer?

great, made my day

as I understand, a wallet is not really a wallet, but a key. This suggests it can be shared between computers. Meaning if I have my wallet.dat copied from box A to box B and both boxes run the bitcoin app, box A should pick up the transactions from B and vice versa so both always show the same balance (not counting network latency). Is this correct?

If I understand BTC correctly that would be correct. It is essentially running your backup on another computer. This would go fine and dandy until you started generating new BTC addresses to receive with. Both wallets would start generating different addresses so coins received in wallet A would not show up in wallet B unless you made all the addresses in wallet A then mirrored it to wallet B.

Long story short, it's the same until you start generating addresses. This is why it is also important to back up your file periodically. If you generate a bunch of addresses, start receiving BTC from them, lose the wallet.dat, restore an old backup missing the new addresses, those coins sent to the new generated addresses that are not on the backup are lost to the void, never to be seen again.
