Glad to help. Looks like the algorithm is working No, we haven't implemented your idea. We just look to blockchain.info when our own heuristic doesn't determine the miner. That's what you see on the above URLs.

Thank you, sir. We'll add them and start checking for them. I'll ask someone to PM you a couple coupons to our gaming site -- http://block777.com.

It's not like the blockchain isn't a public ledger. Besides, I think most (all?) mining pools are outside of US jurisdiction.

I think you have to design a new logo and doing some re-design to the site Any specific suggestions?

Thanks! Right now we're starting to market our games. If they manage to even cover their hosting cost, we'll look at a serious re-design of http://whomined.com. Right now, we don't want to invent too much time or any money. But we're happy to hear specific suggestions. Proposed CSS revisions are welcome too. Though all we'll give you is our gratitude (and perhaps a bunch of coupons for http://block777.com).

Maybe a stupid question, but could this not be used to determine which cloud mining operations were legit? A lot of the cloud mining operation threads have accusations of being pyramid schemes. Something like this could allow a company to prove that they solved a block(s), and thus assure potential customers that they were legit? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it appears to be a tool that could become standard for legit companies.
I suppose it can help. But realize that there is no way to absolutely determine the miner of a block. (See our discussion: http://whomined.com/#how-it-works) I think the unique thing we do is make the clues we use to determine the miner public. So everyone can easily see the receiving BTC address, the coinbase in which some mining pools "sign" their block. The receiving BTC address of the first transaction in the block is probably the strongest clue. I can't imagine anyone having incentive to fake it. Side note: We can probably get even better by scrubbing more of the mining pool website for their self-reporting (we only do some of them now), but it's a lot of work because each one needs an individual script to parse it, and their websites sometimes change rendering our scripts useless. We don't have time to do this. Right now, we're trying to get our games to cover the hosting costs -- and we're still a long way off. :-)

whats the point of betting on 777th block? it takes so much time to be mined. isnt it better to bet on nearer blocks?
You can bet on every 10th block (hour and a half) at http://bettingblocks.com.

I would be deeply grateful if someone would offer me a python script for my situation:
I have an electrum wallet with balances on three different private keys.
I'd like to take the balance from just one private key and send it elsewhere. This is made easier, perhaps, because that entire balance arrived in just one transaction.
Please help?
If it works, I'll offer a small token of gratitude -- 0.02 btc.
I don't have a python script for that, but there is an easy way to achieve what you want with the Electrum Client. In your Receive tab, locate the addresses that you don't want to send bitcoins from. Right-click on each address and select Freeze. Leaving only the one you want to send from, in the "unfrozen" state. Send you transaction, like normal. Electrum will only take from the unfrozen address(es). If you don't spend all the content of the address, it will return you some change in a new address. Ensure that you deduct the network transaction fees correctly before sending. The number should turn red if the total exceed the amount in your address (not enough funds). When you are done - unfreeze the other addresses. 1AQjoN1Z9JepYUL6XYaTAHtHwPjR8rsiH2 Thank you, sir! Worked like a charm. What a cool little feature. Your gratuity has been sent. I'm also going to PM you a few coupons for block777.com.

anyone knows a cool strategy on this? because when i bet i always loose its even harder than dice
Really? Right now with so few players, I think it's easy to play with a positive expected values. Which miners have a good chance of finding the block vs how much has been bet on them? Which miners are quickly increasing in success, and are likely to be stronger than past performance would indicate?

This is a pretty cool idea and website. Its good because it doesn't need to be provaerby fair but the problem is that the bets take too long.
Thanks. In the interest of building trust, we also have a real-time log of events which we make available to users: http://api.bettingblocks.com/log . It should be like one bet every hour or a few times a day. Not so seldom as it currently is.
On our original website ( http://bettingblocks.com/), there's a game that happens approx every hour and a half. Please check it out. Right now, we have very few users. So you'll be playing against the bets of our bot. But our bot makes bad bets occasionally. So right now, if you're careful, you can probably play with a positive expected value. Honestly, we totally screwed up the marketing. We're good programmers and designers, but we don't know a damn thing about advertising. We're hoping to do some promotion this month.
