I made a spreadsheet calculating your payouts:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag7eUBbWmtR4dERnSkUxdVRXbk5fWlRneFlwTVhaUVE&hl=en_US&authkey=CMm1j4YK

Still looks like some is missing, please let me know if I did any of the math wrong.
The pot shows how much there is to payback.
The pot calculates 1% already taken out of the equation.
When I send people the money, I am re-calculating their price based on how much they put in instead of relying on the Bank.
The Bank allows me to know how much to split among the players who haven't gotten paid at the end of the game.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean....

Can you create a spreadsheet of your own in the style of mine?  I am just failing to see where the 2.8401 (that I believe) should be in the pot is.
I've got someone I needed to be 3 minutes ago, so I'll do it when I get home.
But, I'll be more then happy to make a spreadsheet. Smiley

Thank you.

I did confirm my math for what you are sending out is correct.  I put in 2.14 last night and got 2.586 sent to me, here is the transaction on block explorer.

I have a question:

in total, people paid 83.52 BTC today. Of this, 82.6848 goes to the pot (1% fee).
also, 74,68 BTC have been sent to people (double the amount of all players listed as doubled) (your example shows your fee going back to the pot, which is a bit strange, so I didn't include it).
so the pot should contain 8.0048 BTC, right? The site lists the pot as 5.6084, so where did the other 2.4 go?

Is my math wrong somewhere?

Going to restate what he said with my math:
83.52 put into the pot so far
Take away the 1% fee leaves the pot at 82.6848
Green entries total to 37.34
This means a total payout of 74.68

Total put in - total payout  (should) = current pot
82.6848 - 74.68 =\= 5.6048

So looks like yorick was correct in his math.

Clearly you didn't read the thread that you should read before asking questions!

But to help you out, checkout this wiki article for basic wallet backup.  With a little bit of searching you can find out how to encrypt it as well.

I don't think daily scheduled resets are a good idea. The time period is too short and in the end everyone will just join in with automated bots paying the first second of the new round.

Heh, I'd thought about making a bot to do it.... perhaps a CAPTCHA needs to be put in place for submitting your entry, this should prevent any bots from entering.  Plus there are tons of easy to use CAPTCHA services out there.
2247  Economy / Economics / Re: Namecoin and Bitcoin value are now equal (based on difficulty) on: June 19, 2011, 12:53:39 PM
All discussion as to the usability of namecoin aside, difficulty at parity actually means taking a loss mining namecoin.

Mining in a pool has a pool fee off the top, then there is a fee to transfer the namecoins from the pool to you, then a fee to transfer the namecoins to the exchange, the exchange charges a fee to exchange namecoins to bitcoins, then there is a fee to withdraw the bitcoins. This is all before the regular fees of bitcoin, 5 fees. They may be small individually but as you use it they add up. So if you generate the same number of bitcoin-valued namecoins you are taking a loss over directly generating bitcoins.

Who made that exchange site, adding fees to withdraw, destroyed namecoins trading. Congratulation!

Because taking 0.01 on withdrawing is going to kill all trading!

Another question, any possibility of getting times next to entries?  Would be nice to know when they came in since yours resets every day.
2249  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Double Trouble (Instant/Automatic) w/ Partial Refunds! on: June 18, 2011, 10:24:19 PM
I think everyone is like me, waiting for tonights reset...
Yeah, I think that's what's up.
I've got the code setup (tested) to do the restart & partial refund for every midnight. So, looks like we are good to go.

One thing I'm curious about, does it clear the entries completely or do you have records of previous days?  Would be cool to be able to look back and see what happens.
2250  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Double Trouble with a Double Jackpot!!! on: June 18, 2011, 08:15:56 PM
Seriously there is too many double trouble games and watch them all die off because of it.

So true....

I started mine up because it looked like the original creator (who had started the second) had left and I didn't see any going at the time.  Since that happened (I think it was Thursday), a lot have popped up.
2251  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Transaction fees?! on: June 18, 2011, 07:04:47 PM
It's not 5% transaction fee, but the transaction fee is .0005 which just happened to be 5% of what you moved.

Why would you even want an invite to bitcoinmarket?  A quick check of the page shows the volume to be pretty much nothing now.
2253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Security Idea on: June 18, 2011, 03:07:49 PM
dont ever post again
This is why they shouldn't let people like you with 17 posts come in here, I stated a good idea and with help from members we can start things, it's people like you who are going to halt the spread of Bitcoin

High post count does not imply good ideas, the same way low post count does not imply bad ideas.

If price of the carrier is important, look up Virgin Mobile.  I pay $25/mo for 300 minutes/unlimited data/unlimited texts.

They buy the service off of Sprint, so if you live in a good Sprint area you'll be fine.
2255  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Capping Hash Rates? on: June 18, 2011, 02:26:43 PM
Your best option is toying around with '-s'.  Start out at -s0.01 and take it down in small increments till you get the hash rate you want.
2256  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Diablominer Pool and Solo mining question on: June 18, 2011, 02:23:55 PM
Not too sure what your problem is.... 400 mhash/s sounds right for two 6850s.  I have one and run at around 200 wiht -v -w128 and no overclocking, can get it to around 220-230 if I OC.
2257  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New namecoin pool on: June 17, 2011, 01:34:06 PM
Not sure if you have posted this to dot-bit.org, but you should throw something up on the forums there.
2258  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I am mining 1 BitCoin every 3 days approx... on: June 17, 2011, 01:33:39 PM
That seems to be pretty solid, I assume you have a high traffic website?
2259  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Double Trouble 2! Double your money within 7 days! on: June 16, 2011, 06:00:29 PM
If you'd please make sure not to run off in the middle of the game, sure. Start a new topic and post the link here.

You inspired me last night.... forgot to put in the link to the new one I created:
