It was pretty late dude, and the concept was new. Hey but the program is pretty smooth:)
Are you doing a smaller time frame for the reset, or what ended up happening with that. I was thinking a big time frame was counter-productive.
I ended up going with the game resetting at midnight. Currently working on the math to split the current bank between users who haven't gotten paid (when the game resets). The problem I am having is the weight each user has on the bank as to make the split fair. |

I'm going to stop working on the countdown timer until midnight but that's when the game resets. In other words, that's how long I have to perfect the refund code. AHH! lol Whats up, looks nice and clean. Got my shiny 2 btc dished out automatically
Hey  I told you this game would be a hit. Kind of surprised that I didn't think about the refund properly. |

Well there ya go, paid out that quick. I think I will play again with winnings. Thanks OP. btw when does this game end?
Roughly midnight, then the game restarts. What time zone are you in? Just trying to calculate time left. It's actually the servers timezone. I'll add it on the front page (how much time is left before game restarts). |

what happened to the refund?
(for those of you that don't realize it, there can be no refund in a game like this unless OP wants to pay out of their own pocket. By it's nature the "last entry" gets eaten up paying out the entries before it.)
If you haven't read my post right above yours I am trying to work out a way to at least give Some of the money back. I'm thinking about taking the pot at the end of the game, finding out what percent of the money goes to who and I take a 2% fee from each person. (Math is still a work-in-progress). Well there ya go, paid out that quick. I think I will play again with winnings. Thanks OP. btw when does this game end?

Yeah, my most recent bug was found when a new game starts.
It's suppose to send everyone who didn't get doubled their money back, but their was a flaw.
I think what I'm going to do is:
((Amount in Pot)/(Total Amount Unpaid))/(Total # of Unpiad)
I'm still working out the rest of this (such as the weight[amount] per person).

I'm about to start manually pushing out payments. Sorry about that automation. [Edit]: Looks like the code is fixed up, and people are getting paid out! If anyone would like to confirm their payment, that would be good.  Just interested, how any lines of code are there?  index.php - 95 library(for proc) - 135 [provided by the SCI] returnfile(when you pay) - 183 pay.php - 32 failed.php - 3 success.php - 5 faq.php - 49 newgame(cron file) - 109 |

I've entered two of these, hopefully at least one of them actually pays out, then I break even I just noticed I left out the bank balance variable to check to see what the pot is. I just added it in there. No money is lost or gone, just will take another people with at least 0.1BTC to pay the others out. (I should probably setup a while loop to check the bank). Actually, yeah...I'm going to setup a process to push payments if the pot is big enough (which is it at least for the first two people right now). You've made yours too complicated. I like the google spreadsheets the other two guys keep, and I like the one btc address so we can track on the bitcoin explorer site. Keep it simple and people will play.
The SCI I use doesn't send the back the address of the person who paid. It just sends back "Bitcoin P2P Network". |

Awesome project idea! Nice! I like your idea of having it to front bitcoind or something. I can see me using something like this so I could access my wallet while I'm not at home - much like mybitcoin. I could even see me hosting it my self in the cloud somewhere so I wouldn't have to worry about my pc crashing or something losing my btc. I wonder if something like this could run on dropbox?
Wouldn't dropbox need ruby support? |

Now I know why you were hating at my thread, lol because everyone is hating on you in yours... loool

Dude stop hating on me, its not like i am the triplets BTC mogul I just started....and maybe you should market your scheme somewhere else you would be happy If i came @ your thread and said retarded shit like that you said.
I would be happy if you pointed out flaws in mine. That way they can be fixed. [Edit]: Also, I'm not the one with 20 post.  |

Triple Trouble is the better version of Double Trouble Why Double When you can Triple ?! Send BTCs to 1G7BAeRAShcLHGYEuPzjLqNbvzmzzfFwqz How it works : You send 0.5 btc Then someone sends in 1 btc I send you 1.5 btc Fee for this pool is 2% Sounds like a good idea so far. Triple your money, you take 2%...not too bad. Again, as normal; using blockexplorer and spreadsheet to monitor the game. This game ends on Friday 24th 12 GMT.
Disclaimer: Triple/Double BTC is some kind of gambling, which means you could lose money..
The key in winning in Trouble games is in avoiding trouble by getting in first
The way I've got my game setup is that only the last people not paid by the end of the day would only loose part of what they paid instead of all of it. So, not all types of Triple/Double's games are bad. It's just the way the game is setup. |

BUT this guy has no means of reaching him whatsoever - no contacts on the site nor on his profile.
I will be sure to add contact information! Thanks for remind me. What if it becomes more profitable to simply shut the site down and keep the last poolee's coins?
I don't see how it could be more profitable than leaving it running. [Edit]: Contact information added to front page! |

You would have to check (via what ever Government you're under) and see what the laws say.
Technically everyone using BTC in North America is breaking the law (as BTC is an un-taxable good/service). You would have to quote me the law you suggest is being broken. I don't think there is any such law (yet). That's what I found after a few minutes of looking. I see what you're saying. Doesn't seem to be a law against it. I feel better |

If say the 10th person were the last person of the day, and they put in 512BTC then they would loose 2% (from fees) and get 509.44 back.
How is that bad?
They would have at least lost 2.56 BTC (42,50 USD @ 16.6) OR somehow the site went down and would have lost 512 BTC. Good luck with your business! That is how the game is setup. If they choose to attempt to double that high, that's up to them. No one is forcing anyone to do the exponential system like you suggest. I do thank you for your input. It's not a ponzi scheme as the scheme initatior (person who started it) isn't taking an amount, only a cut.
So theoretically, only a small % is lost by the final poolee of the day, but with a chance of making a much greater amount. Yeah, it's just how the game is setup. To make people happy without feeling cheated. |

What an idotic ponzi scheme! 01 - 1 02 - 2 03 - 4 04 - 8 05 - 16 06 - 32 07 - 64 08 - 128 09 - 256 10 - 512 (this is not completly correct since I did't applied the "hosting and game" fees, which make any amout slightly smaller than mentioned) So, basically if only 10 persons per day would participate, the 10th person had to risk 512 BTC in hopes some even bigger idiot would bring in 1024 BTC (that's only about 16.800 USD at this time). The last one either never gets his money back OR has to pay a 2% Fee which at that point would be the nice some of 336 USD. Well, happy gaming If say the 10th person were the last person of the day, and they put in 512BTC then they would loose 2% (from fees) and get 509.44 back. How is that bad? |

Then there is the fact of tracing the blockchain to track and see where he/she goes.

There is a (new?) trojan wallet stealer out in the wild ATM.
Yeah, I know about the messages in the middle. My eyes skip over a lot of words sometimes. |
|
|

What is it? not sure i understand.
Basically: You put in 1BTC, and wait for someone to put in enough to Double 1BTC. This keeps going until the game is over. |

I admit I messed up. I coded too much for too long, and didn't take the time to check my work; in the end, the users paid. I am sorry for what happen, but I had other projects going on to which I had no time to spend to make Double Trouble right. I ended up selling my script for an undisclosed amount of money. The guy ended up creating (from what I take it) a MySQL version of what I did. He has a better ideas for the script, and obviously a better design schema. http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=22279.0Trust me, hate me; I'm sorry. |
