Seals Block Part Tourney was a success, 108 entrants and 215 rebuys. I'm nearly positive this is the largest turnout for a paid entry bitcoin tournament.

Even if you don't feel like saving them now keep the disk and pay to get them out when they are worth $1k, $10k or $100k.
Also, the sun is going to burn out eventually, literally.

It started at block 210000, the first one with lower reward and the beginning of a new era!

Imagine if you could email someone dirty pictures email would never have taken off.

Block 0 had 50 so block 210000 is the first with 25.

I'll be fine, I actually don't mind if I use up all my bitcoins doing this. It was a fun program to write pooling for block information against my local bitcoind. I don't want to exchange them for $ through an exchange and I really don't have anything I want to buy with bitcoins.
Nice, well thanks! I was winner 7  Is payment not automated? Did you receive the 1 BTC? Yeah I did, although it was many hours afterward. http://blockchain.info/address/1GzMAicev1cXywysaF73iHFjcCpRRZnQTTIt isn't a very expensive game to run, just send 1BTC or more to the address yourself each block ;-)
Good point, he doesn't appear to be doing that though. But if this game were to continue he would need to offer some kind of reassurance that this wasn't happening. I'd love to see a solution as it would make a whole new class of games viable. I don't think it is possible; if there are any wagers sent by people who are unknown to you it could be the operator. |

There are no special admins. The only code that runs bitcoins is the code you can run yourself. You and anyone else can change anything you want in that code and all that will happen is that you'll be ignored by the people who didn't make a similar change.

good OP
The 78% stat also rests on another misconception, the idea that bitcoins are always allocated. In reality many people have access to the same pools of coins and the top of each pool is repeatedly skimmed from and replaced. There can be complete rapid turnover of every person's bitcoins without touching nearly all of the actual blockchain coins.
Seals has X coins belonging to other people. More than all of them are used every month, yet somehow 80% or so of them never move.
Bitcoins are fungible. You will never know what is happening to bitcoin ownership no matter how cleverly you stare at the blockchain or pig entrails.

They require a name and an email address, hardly personal information. Anyone can get that from me just by asking, I don't believe public addresses are private information.
I'll unsubscribe from their newsletter when they spam me, unless it turns out to be good. No harm done.
Why do it? Er, well, because as creators of that work I believe they have a moral right to ask for something in return for it. I found the terms of their deal acceptable so I complied with them. That's like asking why would I not grab an apple from the fruit store as I walk past it, even though I won't be caught and it's just an apple.
If you don't think name and email address is personal information it is pointless to argue on much else. Thanks for being a good citizen ... I prefer to read the free screenshot and keep my email addresses as private as possible. I resent your analogy with the apple pilfering, are you calling me a thief because I refuse to add my information to a database, that will potentially persist until I die, and choose to read a screenshot of another registrant? Heh, what do you figure happens to it when you die? |

This forum is for bitcoin legal questions and info. There is a politics and society board where this would belong. I think you can move it on your own.
It would be great if the person who made the least made a lot.
It would be bad if someone got hurt for offering a job (especially bad if someone wanted to take that job).

For a lottery that spans a week or month 0 or 1 or 6 confirm makes almost no difference.
There is already a lottery with a 1% fee. If you want to break into the market you are going to need a guaranteed minimum imo. You probably will not get traction unless you are as transparent also, meaning all tickets send to one address so we know our tickets are counted and know how many there are and see the winner is paid properly.

Is only one fish big sized now or is it a static or dynamic threshold? Is there a bigger size we haven't seen yet?
I'm not following... is this a joke? genuine lol... lololololol I'm also hooked on biggest fish game so I totally understand this. i guess I'll take some time out of my fish-tending to play the Big BTC at 3pm Vegas time - come get at the biggest MTT in bitcoin each week on Seals! Do I need to read that whole thread or can you explain the game to me in a few quick lines? Is there any strategy? I see Seals with clubs has multiple fish. It keeps getting more interesting. Short version: You put money in a fish and you can attack other fish and they can attack you taking each other's money. Mostly just gambling, but maybe some skill coming in with the newest features, jackpot and coming shop. |

The biggest Fish is a little bit like this. By leaving money in a fish you are offering to take wagers with odds from 50-100% in your favor for anywhere from 0.05 up to half your balance. It is more optimized for fun that flexibility so another project is needed imo, just pointing the game out.

It's a static image. The biggest one. Usualy only 1 fish is the biggest, but sometimes there are a few fish with the same weight. PS: The Chest has been added. Click on a free slot to put 1 BTC which will be subtracted from the weight of ur fish. Click on a coin image in the chest to get 1 BTC back. Sweet, for some reason I really like that way. I just went slumming, lost every time, but now I'm biggest again anyway hahaha. |
