I'd like to suggest something:

I guess that Firstbits stuff for Bitcoin addresses that were developed months ago would be a great implementation to Bitmessage as well.

Short bits are easier to remember as an "email address".

Don't you think so?

Here goes the original BTC idea: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=16217.0

@SgtSpike

I guess that 1stbits stuff would be a great implementation to Bitmessage as well.

Don't you think so?

Whoa!

Now it's being invested over 1,604 BTC ~ 180,000 USD, not bad at all!

That's what I call capitalization!

It's an outstanding beggining!

Best of luck for all!

Without house edge? How can this be true?

1. Zero variance risk for the operator (you play against other players, not against the house).
2. Simple gameplay, which doesn't demands high-end hosting.
3. Growing Bitcoin community and influx of new businesses (potential advertisers).

We just need to find a way to add (fund) some jackpots into it right now so we could make it become +EV for all... Cool

Would that be too utopic? Grin

It's a little stressful watching the balance go up and down as people bet. One guy was around 40 BTC up and looking like he just couldn't lose. Until:

The short term is ignorable because "The Law of Large Numbers" shall do all the work in the long run... Cool

Most of the coins are safely offline. It's hard to know how many to keep available for withdrawal, but I'm erring on the side of caution. Big winners will no doubt be understanding if it takes a while for me to wake up and refill the hot wallet so they can withdraw.

There's an email address at the bottom of the FAQ page which you can use to arrange a withdrawal ahead of time if it's going to be large.

I'm glad you are a cautious guy! Wink

BTW, there'd be some equation in order to find the relation of money to be available online.

I guess you will get that relation in the next weeks by calculating some gambler's winning averages.

Nice bot.

Very well done.

Congratulations!

Hello Dooglus!

Very nice announcement!

The investment feature seems to be a nice deal, just as being an Casino shareholder. Wink

Nevertheless I'd like to know a bit about security:

1) Is 100% of the amount invested always online (hot)?

2) Is some of the % invested secured in cold storage (away from server(s))?

You know, nowadays hackers do everything in order to steal BTC in hot storage. Undecided

Keep up the good work!

Cheers!

Hello guys!

Congratulations for the development of that offline transaction implementation.

I was always worried about the "problem" with BTC's change.

Newbies are more than expected to commit that kind of mistake anytime.

Mea culpa: I've got to admit I lost a few LTC once (as a newbie then...) I was testing the "import privkey" feature in the official litecoin client in the past.

Suggestions: It would be nice if there were multiple Recipient Addresses forms in order to send transactions for more than just one BTC address.

And do not forget the "Transaction History" feature and the "Raw Transaction" generator as similiar to what's available at brainwallet.org.

Gonna follow this thread and count on this development.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers!

I've seen some people reporting that ixquick is better than duckduckgo. I've tried duckduckgo before and thought the results were so extraordinarily bad that I couldn't use it.

There's also Startpage.com (also provided by Ixquick) where they claim to provide "complete privacy" as mentioned in their words as follows:

"Startpage offers you Web search results from Google in complete privacy!"

"When you search with Startpage, we remove all identifying information from your query and submit it anonymously to Google ourselves. We get the results and return them to you in total privacy."

"Your IP address is never recorded, your visit is not logged, and no tracking cookies are placed on your browser. When it comes to protecting your privacy, Startpage runs the tightest ship on the Internet. Our outstanding privacy policy and thoughtful engineering give you great search results in total anonymity."

Good luck trying...

Nice implementation for Bitcoin community.

Congratulations! Wink

Your website looks like it was made in 2001.

LOL

BTW, Nice raffle site.

I'd suggest that you just give prizes for the 1st winner while jackpot is < BTC 1.0

If it's > BTC 1.0 then prizes should also go to 2nd and 3rd...

Is there any plan in turning the lottery provably fair?

Cheers!

PRISM is the ultimate Big Brother around...and when that Utah Yottabyte (YB) Data Base is ready, things are gonna be really bad... Lips sealed

Dark times are comming... Embarrassed

But what bothers me the most is that Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook etc. don't stand a second against the GOV force.

BTW, I'll post here as well what I've suggested somewhere else:

OPs and MODs:

I'd like to suggest a fixed topic about PRISM surveillance and inside that topic some info like that available at http://prism-break.org/

And freedom for all!

Stands for "National Security Agency": a institution developed to oppress american citizens and, in a future not so far, many remaining world citizens as well.

Myeh just want to say, I joined all 4 lotto's so far (not the first ofc - and after second just anon :p) but I will not join with 0.1 xD ofc 2 different ones might be a possibility (or only for the future.)

Forgot to say: that's just a suggestion for when the website is already done.

That's it! Wink

nice concept ! but 1 BTC is too much for the looser in your case need to be adjusted

The 1 BTC jackpot prize is just an example of a progressive accumulated prize that will be funded with some % of every additional purchase, so its funding is going to be distributed for various gamblers, not to only one "loser" in particular.

Well, that's just a Beta idea...development and thinking is still required. Wink

Any plans of increasing the minimum price of the ticket?

0.1 BTC per ticket would turn into a great funding for the jackpot, don't you think so?

Suggestion: maybe announcing 2 weekly raffles (one with min ticket price 0.01 BTC and another with 0.1 BTC) might be interesting.

(...) A good idea too for remotivate players because a lot have gone recently, see ltc players.... is to payback 25% or 50% of the price bomb when exploding as a consolation prize

I've fate on you ! Already bought 2000 visits on bitvisitor and 2000 visits on honeybitcoin advertising Wink

I'd rather choose the idea of using the funds to increase the jackpot for future bigger prizes instead of returning them as consolation prizes.

I guess that's better for gamblers and so it is for the house.

"that pays whom holds"

I don't understand. (...)

Let me try to explain it a little bit more:

I just suggested a kind of bomb that you get paid the value accumulated in jackpot only when the bomb explodes (countdown times up) and you are the last holding it.

Example of reverse coinbomb (10% Interest & 1.25x Multiplier & 1 BTC Jackpot):

1) McCartney first buys the bomb for 0.1 BTC;

2) Lennon buys the bomb (before 24h countdown) for 0.125 BTC (McCartney gets paid back 0.11 BTC);

3) Harrison buys the bomb (before 24h countdown) for 0.15625 BTC (Lennon gets paid back 0.1375 BTC);

4) Starr buys the bomb (before 24h countdown) for 0.1953125 BTC (Harrison gets paid back 0.171875 BTC);

5) Ozzy buys the bomb (before 24h countdown) for 0.244140625 BTC (Starr gets paid back 0.21484375 BTC);

6) 24h countdown finishes without any additional purchase and the bomb explodes. Ozzy wins the jackpot prize of 1 BTC or + (there could be a progressive jackpot that increases itself with every additional buy)!

That's it!
