A good addition might be special powers. Like being able to send a strike that takes out 4 spaces for a part of your winnings (percentages or a fixed number based on your starting bet).

Escrow, as I see it, works like this:
  • A company wants to run a signature campaign, but they are to busy to do it themself, so a campaign manager is hired.
  • This campaign manager will be given BTC to payout the participants in the signature campaign at the end of every cycle (monthly, weekly, etc).
  • Some people may not trust the person doing the signature campaign, so they ask them to do escrow.
  • The person doing escrow will hold an amount of BTC to cover for +- one payment cycle
  • If something goes wrong in the campaign (manager disappears, funds are gone, etc), the person doing escrow will use the BTC that has been escrowed to pay out the people in the signature campaign.

In an ideal world, the person doing escrow would hold onto the BTC until the signature campaign is over. But more often than not the BTC is returned after a few successful cycles.

However, seeing that this isn't always the case (devthedev paying out for dadice) I'm considering to put signature campaigns as escrowed if the person paying isn't the same as the person managing the campaign, has some decent trust on this forum and isn't affiliated with the company itself. So the dadice campaign would be soon as escrowed, but the Bit-X wouldn't be, because marcotheminer both manages the campaign and pays the participants.

Opinions about this are welcome.

in sort you are saying that the 8 BTC that dev holds should only be an insurance just incase the campaign manager doesnt pay anyone and the manager would need to provide another BTC to pay the campaigner ?
That's exactly what I'm saying yeah.

I think what sebastian suggested should be consider, as those who isnt associated with the campaign should be considered as an escrow, dev isnt associated with dadice nor he even wear dadice signature, he is just to hold the sig campaign BTC and pay them as the calculations each week
I already stated that I would most likely change the rules I use to determine if a campaign is escrowed. Please read the previous page.

How much are you paying and how difficult is it?
5305  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: March 16, 2015, 01:55:47 PM
Someone doing escrow does nothing at all. He only holds funds in case the campaign manager runs off without paying or when someone happens to the campaign manager.

Don't try to outsmart PayPal. They are a lot smarter than you and have a lot more resources available to track down people like you if they wanted to. They might not fuck you now, but they will fuck you later on for sure.

Be smart and stay away from PayPal.

DaDice does not use escrow. Read the posts made above. It explains everything. As long as devthedev does the payments there is a conflict of interest. Someone doing escrow shouldn't be doing the payments. The campaign manager should.

Will update the OP later on and sort the campaigns.
5308  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: March 15, 2015, 04:55:04 PM
The campaign manger said that he sent the payment details to devthedev and then some time later devthedev posted a TXID of the payment, so I would assume that he was the one what signed and pushed the payment.

But if devthedev were to run away with the escrow funds, wouldn't the owners of da dice be responsible to pay the participants?
Hmmm, that would make him responsible for the payments and thus create conflicting interests. Will remove their escrowed status for now.

And yes, if devthedev runs away the owners would have to pay. That's why you need to use someone trustworthy to escrow your signature campaign. However, the person doing escrow is meant to have extra funds in case the campign manager runs off with the money or are not able to pay the participants because of circumstances. They shouldn't be paying the campaign members (unless a special circumstance arises).

EDIT: I'll most likely change my rules for escrow a bit later on, seeing that this is pretty strict and as long as the person paying/doing escrow is trusted enough, it shouldn't be a big problem. They shouldn't be associated with the company as well.
5309  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: March 15, 2015, 04:46:11 PM
You had mentioned that you would only consider a campaign escrowed if the person sending the payments is different from the person holding the funds to pay everyone. By that definition devthedev is not escrowing da dice because he is both holding funds and paying out the participants. It looks like rollin switched to guitarplinker (or does he own the site/is closely affiliated with the site?)
Wait, devthedev pays the participants in the Da Dice campaign? If so, I'll need to change their escrow status. I thought ndnhc handles the campaign and does the payouts, while devthedev just holds a certain amount of funds in escrow in case ndnhc runs off or something happens to him.
5310  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: March 15, 2015, 04:35:14 PM
devthedev is the one who pays out the da dice signature campaign, and I assume the same is true for the other campaigns he manages as well.
What do you mean? I know that devthedev escrows for Da Dice. However this is about Rollin.io and they stopped using devthedev.
5311  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: March 15, 2015, 04:27:10 PM
Thanks for the update. The escrow part makes sense to me, no worries with that. I'll be sure to let you know if things change in this campaign in the future.
No worries. Thank you for being understanding and keeping me in the loop.
5312  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: March 15, 2015, 04:00:08 PM
Mitchełł, when you get a moment could you update the Rollin.io signature campaign information?

The following information has changed:

  • The Rollin.io campaign is currently active, and has slots open for new participants
  • More slots have opened. There are now 8 slots for H/L/Stf, 5 slots for Sr Members, 4 slots for Full Members, and 5 slots for Members
  • The funds for the campaign are in escrow, being held by me. See this post.
I have updated everything in the OP (including the changes from Bit-x).

guitarplinker you aren't escrowing the Rollin.io campaign though. You are the one paying the campaign and the one holding the funds. This is a conflict of interest and if you run off, people can't be sure if they will get paid by Rollin.io. Escrow is done by someone who has nothing to do with your signature campaign and the website itself (like devthedev did before). I hope you can understand this.

Thank you for telling me about the changes in your campaign!

Websites that allow free vanity address generation are not to be trusted if they don't use the split key technique.

Vortex has put his project on hold. So I highly doubt it.

is it just me or the server is not working? what version of game does it require?

On the matter of this project: I'm putting this in something like status quo. Very busy now.

I don't get it...why is shipping to Canada $13? That's alot.
We use a flat free for all international shipment. This means it will be (a bit) pricier in some countries and (a bit) cheaper in others.
5316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: International bitcoin survey launched - 1btc split 16 ways up for grabs on: March 14, 2015, 11:44:54 PM
Nice survey.

How can we get the prize though?
Read the OP. Couldn't be easier.

...
Because of this, and I really value your input, you can optionally put in a bitcoin wallet address in at the end of the survey. We have three monthly prizes of 0.25 bitcoin in March, April and May, which will be distributed in five prizes of 0.05 bitcoin after we randomly select a wallet address using a suitable web tool. We'll get these picked from the previous month's participants, put up a notice on the site, and send the bitcoin on their merry way across the blockchain, along with some notes on the progress, and any early findings we have.
...
5317  Economy / Auctions / Re: [Auction] Silver Wallet - You pick! on: March 14, 2015, 11:24:36 PM
I believe I won.  If so, please confirm in this thread and I will send payment to the address in the first post.

I believe it would be foolish not to choose the gold trim, no?

I will PM shipping instructions along with transaction ID.

Cheers!
It would be very foolish indeed, hahaha. I've sent you a PM with all the information needed and I'll be locking this thread, if you don't mind of course.
5318  Economy / Auctions / Re: [Auction] Silver Wallet - You pick! on: March 14, 2015, 11:12:58 PM
0.4
This is the winning bid. I'll sent you a message with all information required and the payment address (please double check the address with the one in the OP).

This auction is now closed.
5319  Economy / Auctions / Re: [Auction] Silver Wallet - You pick! on: March 14, 2015, 10:35:17 PM
Only 25 minutes left. If you want to bid, now is your chance!

Unfortunately I just found a bug in our chain processing code (not the game code, but the one that stores all the blockchain data for use in our multiple services).

Nothing really major but still needs to be fixed asap, and given the volume of information it is going to take a few hours to do. All bets will be processed once that's done.

Sorry about that, but it really must be done now.
Just my luck, I just sent a small bet, hahaha. I can totally understand your reasoning though. Good luck!
