The betting bot is off for now.

Not a lot of interest but the test went OK, you can llok for a new coin-toss like game being added to all of our supported currencies this week.

ok, thanks for the partial list.

If you have more and you want to post them it will save me a ton of time, - I'm only starting to keep track of them.

This will be my last shot at this:

It's literally not possible.  You can't re-program them.  They're formed in silicon to do only one thing: apply the SHA256 algorithm to provided data. And the data has to match pretty closely the expected template.

It can't even do basic math like 1+1 = 2.

This is not a function of the motherboard or other accessories mounted around it. There's not logic units or reprogrammable anything, you couldn't use it as a processor to make an ipad or a tablet or a laptop or a scrypt miner.

sigh...

Somebody should lock this, someone should post this crap in the actual release thread.

Oh my god worst release ever.

Plus according to the white paper this is exactly hashcash-style proof of work using a different computational function.

Completely LMAO this morning.  Good stuff.

Holy shit guys there's a release thread

This is where you lost it, and probably why you're not getting many replies.

This shows a profound misunderstanding of what these chips are.  I don't mean that as an insult, I'm just laying it out there.

These are not general computing devices, and in theory or in practice they are literally not capable of ever producing a scrypt hash.

You might consider pursuing this project with bulk ATI processors, I've been told they're nearly ideal for the task of hashing scrypt.

Here's someone giving me a very detailed lecture on the ins and outs of the current tech: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=242987.msg2580579#msg2580579

For anyone who may end up having issues with this:



This is inevitable I suppose as so many groups work independently to create their coins.  There's no call for a fix here as changing the value for either one of these coins would be potentially disastrous - invalidating every used address in the field and the block chain.

Is anyone aware of any other existing collisions?

I resent you for this.

It wasn't worth the time it took me to find out what it said.

I hate it every time someone does that.

This comes up like, every two weeks.

When he said the mods have indicated it will not happen, he's legit, I've seen it too.

It's funny to watch every one who thinks it's a great new idea though.

It's official?  I sure will!



Thanks for the heads up, I fixed'em

no house edge - verifiable results - nearly instant

Max bet is 10 IFC - come give it a try!

Hey ok i got a little page up for this thing.

http://lotto.coinworld.us/pops/

This way you can watch as some of the bets happen too.

I mentioned it earlier in the infinitecoin thread but I think I'm still the only one playing with it.

The bot currently has an infinitecoin wallet and is set to take bets from .1 IFC to 10 IFC so there's nothing major on the table.

I would really appreciate some feedback and some traffic on it.

It's got 10k coins or so right now I'll be adding more stats to the page during a couple more hours of trying it out.

If it just starts refunding all of your transactions it's probably out of funds.  Over the next few hours I'll be adding some more data to the page like current house balance.

There's enough information displayed with each bet to allow for manual verification if anyone feels the need. The hash pattern and the formula are listed on the page, as well as the betting address.

There's no need to visit the page to bet, and the winnings are sent back to the betting address automatically.  It's not honestly using your input as it's output at this time so if anyone needs to double-spend up to 10 IFC, give it a shot. 0 conf required

Done deal, smooth transaction.

no escrow a 2 stage deal, Poolminor went first. Will trade again if we have the need.

Just a reminder for anyone interested, the CoinWorld.us lotteries will be drawn tomorrow at noon PST.

That's 20:00 UTC for easier conversion to your local time.  This week we have drawings for the following coins:

     


     


     

Several coins currently have no jackpot or reservations at all so if you want to play it might help to stir up a couple buddies who want to play with you

New This Week:

Argentum, Litecoin added to the lotteries.

Each coin now has a page for adding to the jackpot without buying tickets. You can find these pages by visiting http://lotto.coinworld.us/<your desired coin>/promote.php - replacing the <your desired coin> with the three letter currency code for the coin, in all caps.  If that's confusing, just PM me and I'll send you a link =)

Infinite Coin prize pool is approaching 18m IFC, with over 10m in donations!  With the IFC block reward halving this week, now's a good time to grab a few (million) of this crazy coin!

Each lotto page now contains a status monitor displaying the number of peers connected , the block height, and the current difficulty of the block chain.  If available the network hash rate is displayed as well.

Questions, Comments, Anyone?

Come on let's play!

It still parses to ...(it's easy to scam)...(here's some details)...(I do it all the time)...(it's easier with money).

Calling me a retard was a nice touch, though. Proves your casual superiority, amirite?

Just rough numbers but the highest bid currently on an exchange is .00000016*.03(LTC value) = 0.0000000048 BTC (approximately half of one satoshi).

Pretty low IMO.

But the last trade happened even lower than that.

I'm not sure that I've ever seen anyone volunteer for a scammer tag before.  Can we get a mod on this?


This whole thread is a teenaged cry for attention

Ok, pre-teen.

Thanks man.

I need some testers, and maybe a numbers guy.

I built a betting bot over the last two days. I just finished the main script for it last night and it's live in a sort of beta mode.

Here's the address:

            iAjczQXVMsQTcEuVfyQAjhthvrYb23bQy3

Here's the hash:

            $incoming["bet_hash"] = hash (sha256, (hash (sha256, $tx["time"].$tx["txid"], TRUE)));

Here's the bet:

            if ($incoming["bet_number"] < 16384 || $incoming["bet_number"] > 49152)

First four characters of the hash convert to decimal for your 32 bit result.  Should be pretty familiar by now =D

I'm taking the middle out of the range at straight 50/50 odds for a 2:1 payout.  I'll probably put a house edge on it later we'll see how it goes.

I'm interested in feedback, i'm interested in talking with some people knowledgeable at stats so maybe I can set up some different type of bets with different odds.

This guy has 10k IFC that should let him lose his ass for a couple of hours since the minimum bet is .1 IFC and the max is 10 IFC.  Below minimum is kept(thank you for your support) and over limit is refunded immediately.

WARNING this is a beta and the only alpha was me beating the hell out of it last night.  I'm not 100% sure how it's going to handle odd transaction types, being one of several transactions in sendmany, etc...

If you decide to push it you might break it.  If you dont' get a response in 30 seconds after your bet, stop playing.  lol whatever totally play with a few IFC at your own risk and let me know what you think.  During the day today we'll be pushing for the lotto a bit, while I get a monitor on this guy so there's a place to watch the bets stream.

AHA this post might sound confusing - it should be!  PLay AT YOUr OWn Risk F0r NoW!

I think there is ybcoin doing that now as well but their release mentioned several coins I didn't try to sort it out.

I think ya-coin integrated scrypt-jane into the codebase (that's a library) and there have been a couple of efforts to mess around with it since.  You might search around for references to that, as there was some confusion around here with people thinking that scrypt-jane was the name of a hashing method.

I thought there was another coin in the last few weeks that required the wallet miner at release but I can't be bothered to search right now.

At this time, it's pretty well understood that botnets are going to eat any coin that doesn't have a GPU mining implementation, yeah.

you could substitute "server-farm" for "botnet" same difference to the people that seem to want a coin no one can mine faster than them

Hey I've been away from the forum the last 24 hours pretty much working on figuring out this damn RIPEMD160  to address encoding so that I can extract send addresses from tx data.

I just came in here to link to the IFC source code and noticed the posts about the lotto.

If anything's not working over there drop me a PM and I'll check it out.

Sometimes when you paste and address into the reservation form it doesn't do the "onchange" and you need to add a space at the end or something before it will AJAX validate the address and enable the button.

Sometimes it just takes a second to validate the address due to traffic or load on the server.

OK I'm off to go into IFC source and see if I can determine the leading byte used to encode the IFC address.  Since I don't know jack about C++ or bitcoin internals I hope it's easy.  Anyone know where to find it?
