Just to let you know, I had to modify makefile.mingw and change the following lines: LIBS= \
-l boost_system-mgw45-mt-s-1_43 \
-l boost_filesystem-mgw45-mt-s-1_43 \
-l boost_program_options-mgw45-mt-s-1_43 \
-l boost_thread-mgw45-mt-s-1_43 \
-l db_cxx \
-l eay32 To: LIBS= \
-l boost_system-mgw44-mt-s-1_43 \
-l boost_filesystem-mgw44-mt-s-1_43 \
-l boost_program_options-mgw44-mt-s-1_43 \
-l boost_thread-mgw44-mt-s-1_43 \
-l db_cxx \
-l eay32 Also, like Gallop I had to recompile Berkley DB. Thank you for the wonderful guide, BlueMatt. ~lulzplzkthx |

I've done a bit of looking around and see I have to update my strings for translation a bit. Will post again when that's done.

luke-jr has added the Balance tooltip to Spesmilo shortly after I suggested this idea in #bitcoin-dev From https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/190: Too features which I thought would be very useful is an easy way to view your balance without opening up the whole application, so I added the balance to the tooltip. I also felt that adding a send coins option was nice, as there is even less reason to open up the whole bitcoin client just to send some coins. Please note that I may not have done the translations (that is, used _()) perfectly regarding the tooltips, so please check that first. |

if an operator wants to cheat, he can easily cheat.
doesnt matter if it's a lottery-script, or a bubble-script, or my randomizer-script, even a mining-pool,
could all be cheating, i don't get it.
why not move this "be careful who and where to send your coins to" discussion to a new thread, if you want to warn people?
Ok I'm done. If you can cheat it, perhaps more work needs to be done on it before it's used! I'm saying that if you want to use this for a lottery perhaps a feature where it lists all the entries is needed with a method for picking the winner separate from the operator after the list is made. That's all. I like the script and think it has potential. The point is, I don't plan on using this script. I've released it for educational purposes. I don't plan on editing it or changing it because it does not benefit me at all. You can cheat anything. Hell, you could cheat your own system, bitlotto. |

We already had a lottery (taabl) where you didn't have to trust the operator not to pick the winner. He did it by using the last digits of the hash of a predetermined block as a ticket. Still had to trust him to pay out of course, but we'd know right away if he didn't.
Yes, I was looking at BitLotto's which is similar. I could have done it that way, but I didn't. So yes, while it is transparently being picked, that doesn't mean the *script* could be as easily rigged. See, if TAABL released their script, I could mess with it just as easily. |

This was the point I was trying to get across. You have to trust the website, not the script BitLotto.
~lulzplzkthx
Agreed. I was merely trying to say that more trust is needed when using this script. Trust is always needed no matter what. Some systems are just easier/harder to rig than others. I just want people to be careful. That's all. I really don't get what you're trying to say. Any script can be rigged just as easily. Why? Because the script is server-side. There is no validation of it the client can do client-side. Watch where you're spending your money. It's the same way I might trust MyBitcoin, etc. |

how would people know, if a lottery is using this script, or any other?
people should be careful about where to send their coins, or give their money each and every time they do,
no matter what for.
doesnt have anything todo with this script.

Trust is an essential point of Bitcoin, yes. Or really any lottery script.
~lulz
Yes, BUT the script makes it WAY too easy for scammers to rig the results. All they have to do is make a new Bitcoin address for each "win". Every so often let "real" people win to avoid suspicion. I'm just worried about people using this script to scam people. It's too easy to rip people off. I'm not saying people are doing this now but with this script but it will happen. The main problems is: -all players need to be itemized before the draw somehow with a random way of picking the winner BEYOND the control of the operator No, the script is a script. It does what it's supposed to, and anybody can modify it as they would like. That's what the GPL and LGPL licenses are designed for. I have created and script, released it, and hope it will be used for good. Yes, it could be used for nefarious purposes, just as Tor or Bitcoin could. That's why the web-of-trust and similar concepts exist. And a MySQL RAND() is beyond the control of the operator. If they choose to change the script, that's not my fault. I don't control that. You can feel free to implement another method, and post that if you would like. In fact, you might notice the script is divided into two parts: a front-end (paying), and a back-end (drawing). It makes it very easy to change how tickets are drawn to a more transparent way if whoever uses it would like. |

I apologize, must have been transaction fee confusion on my end. I really enjoy Bitcoin Toss and would vouch for it to anyone, I've had great success. |

Sent a tx at 18:32 for 20 bitcents, and won, my tx has 4 confirmations, and I haven't received my 40 bitcents.
Sent a tx at 18:41 for 19 bitcents, and won, my tx has 0 confirmations, and the tx to me for 38 bitcents has 0 confirmations, but is listed.
What happened in the first bet?
Also, I suggest changing the form from a POST to a GET, so that if I accidentally close the tab, I can get back to it with the id saved in my history. (Lost some coins this way earlier.)
EDIT: The first one now has 6 transactions. Still none received.

Played twice, won twice.
I've played Double Trouble at least 10 times and lost all but once.
Thus, my experiences are Bitcoin Toss is fair, and I will continue to use it..

I like the idea of the timer being set to maybe 3-5 hours, and being increased by perhaps 2 minutes every time an ad is bought. I don't think you would need to up the spend price this way.
The game would start with say 3 hours on the clock.
Within probably a couple hours, 500 bets would be placed. The clock would go up to 16 hours. Over time, however, people would stop buying as quickly, and the clock would go down.
Perhaps when it reaches a certain low amount (say, 30 minutes?) you could make it so the timer does NOT go up anymore, and just keeps going down. This would especially keep it flowing at the end of the game, as everyone would be trying to put a bunch of money in at the last second. Perhaps pop a few bubbles just before the jackpot is claimed.

I think this is a terrific idea. Get something going with a bunch of companies offering the same service, and have people donate. Then send them all a support message linking to the thread, or whatever, and see who adopts it first.
That's awesome.

Please do. And I'm with 3-5 hours.

I don't mind him making a profit by any means. I think that's one fantastic thing about Bitcoin is it opens up a market for those who wouldn't otherwise have it... I just think he could find a better supplier.
