I just noticed a new player. I'm not going to be shutting the site down (since it doesn't cost anything to run), but I'm just going to honor the ticket refunds I promised earlier (which has happened).

Any tickets purchased after this date won't be refunded, but you can always withdraw your balances.

The tickets have been refunded and you should be able to withdraw your bitcoins. I'll refund them manually when I get the chance but you should be able to login and get them now if you don't want to wait.

Doesn't sound like it would be too hard to implement, also when a player buys a ticket that number is locked in, I can't pick that number. If someone has ticket #5 I can't also buy ticket #5.



They end when all of the tickets are purchased, I could set expiration dates but not sure how to handle the money on the spent tickets, since there isn’t enough to do a payout.

I guess I could return the coins (minus a fee perhaps).

So how does one save up to buy a car?
Or buy real estate?
Or engage in more complicated lines of production?

That's why it won't work in a more complicated economy. Accumulation of wealth isn't the problem, the problem is the government, regulatory rackets to benefit big business, taxing rackets to benefit big business.

Would this before, or after the round finishes?

I could expose a lot of stats when the rounds finish.

Any dallas servers?

I'll add one.


The game runs until all of the tickets are sold.


Not quite sure what you mean by an exposed secret, but im assuming a piece of data to confirm that the random number generated wasn't pre-selected?


Thank you.

We're still up. =)

The next round to finish, I'm going to be rewarding the winner with a double payout.

I hope it wasn't 'economic classes'.

You're going to have to do a lot of unlearning, all of that crap is wrong. Just look at everyone in government central economic planning with all of their degrees and their absolutely terrible job.

You wouldn't hire a doctor that has a 100% record of his patients dying.

This is one of the best answers I've seen, I'm stealing this.

Good vid, zerohedge is pretty good.

Can't withdraw with bitcoin though.

8.33x payout.

I still have these available if anyone wants em.

Price is now 1 BTC.

The federal government has a knack for twisting things, it doesn't matter if it's the law. It's like when they use the interstate commerce clause to tell farmers that they can't grow food on their own property.

In other words, even if you find a way to do it legally, they'll find a way to get you. Even if they *think* it's illegal when it's not, you're hosed.

What I'm doing is really legally no different than everything else I'm doing. I don't engage in fraud, theft, or hurt people so I know that I'm on a high moral ground.

I choose dangerous liberty over peaceful slavery. Better to die free than to be a slave.

In my case, I have nothing to lose. If my site fails the chances of me being prosecuted for it are slim, if it succeeds to the point where they come after me, chances I'll have the resources to defend myself against their unconstitutional acts.



It's too bad it's not gold, because say I actually did gold instead of bitcoin and then they tried to claim I was running an illegal gambling ring, I could just argue that gold is not money and bring my star witness, the chairman of the federal reserve.

Gold isn't money!

:p

It's still just starting. I think since I'm kind of new people are not sure whether to trust it yet. Overtime as people experiment with it and they get their payouts people will be willing to try it.

It's just a matter of getting the first legitimate users.

The courts are not about justice, you already break enough laws every day to be put in jail for years.


It would be foolish to convert too much of the Bitcoins to USD, I would keep them out of the US, and build things outside of their jurisdiction. Cash out enough to live off of and pay all applicable taxes on that.

But for everything else? Build out in a more sane country with the remaining resources.


I am quite certain that everyone already understands that posts on an internet board are mostly all, opinion. It would be redundant to have such a disclaimer.


You might want to add a disclaimer that these are your opinions.


Not if you're using a VPN, or logging into a dedicated server located in a remote country and wagering from there.

By the way, federal anti-gambling laws in the United States are unconstitutional, especially since it’s legal for some people, while illegal for others. Think of it this way, say lobbyists from Las Vegas lobbied the federal government to make certain kinds of gambling illegal, unless the states had laws legalizing it prior to the federal law.

Sounds like a protection racket to me, and you guessed it, unconstitutional. The federal government can't pass a law that bans states other than Florida from growing oranges.

This sounds similiar to BTCBlink, except I'm doing 1 in 10 odds.

I would keep everything in Bitcoins when running the site.

Remember, Bitcoins isn't real money, it's not even backed by any government!

By keeping everything in Bitcoins, there is technically no money for them to seize. Let the players figure out how to convert it.

You can store them in such a way where if you do get busted you can still have a third party honor all of your players withdrawals.

The only way you will get busted is if you get pretty big and actually start making out pretty good, once that becomes the case you will also be in a better position to defend yourself, especially if your resources can’t be illegally confiscated.

Not only that, but the US government is basically going to have to make the argument that gambling with fake money is somehow illegal, and if that's the case, well, they better go after all of those online MMORPG's that have ways players can gamble fake money.
