pmsl.. you make a 20 btc!! initial deposit and wonder why people are not playing! I think the rounds are good, and obviously the big initial deposit makes for a nice jackpot, but destroys ANY chance of more than 1 or 2 deposits getting paid out. I have got in very early in 3 games, yet have still lost 4 coins. When my wallet is only 4 or 5 coins, that is bound to stop me from playing. Not looked over the proposals properly yet, will do so now, but it seems obvious now that there needs to be a better balance between a big jackpot and a chance of payout. And it seems absurd to say there should be a captcha only for the second deposit! You're basically saying no bots until I've made my profit, but fu*k everyone else!
I apologize sincerely if that's what you think of the 20btc round. The daily massives were made to emulate big rounds like bernie_maddoff and massivejackpot on bitcoinduit. The first guy got a nice profit but the rounds still continued well past 48hrs. I've lowered the initial deposits and introduced a line of daily small games; I hope that those will be popular. edit: series of smaller games will be launched today @8

By the way, everyone (bumping an edit)
Additional daily series! Medium jackpot! Here's a new one. I'm going to start it off with 35/30 and 3btc initial deposit. You actually have a chance of getting paid! I'll make it 6 hours expiration. When decay is implemented it'll be altered. Daily fast jackpot! 0.5hr, 1btc initial deposit, 30/30. Would be successful if people pledged. Week-long decay! When decay gets implemented, I'm making a round that will end in a week. Decay is 1/7 every deposit (expiration is multiplied by 6/7). I'm making this a medium-sized round, 4-6btc initial deposit and 20/30.
Tell me how interested you are in these games.

Alright everyone. Moving forward, the daily massive will be structured the following way.
Rules 1. No bots -- runlinux has agreed not to use his bot. 2. Longer expiration time to allow more people to get paid.
Monday/Wednesday/Friday -- 10btc initial deposit, 4 hours. When decay is implemented, we'll start at 12 and decay by half every deposit. Tuesday/Thursday -- 15btc initial deposit, 6 hours. When decay is implemented, we'll start at 18 and decay by half every deposit. Both rounds will be 30/30. We still need the "massive" in "daily massive!" edit: I'm thinking of replacing Friday's 10btc with a 6btc round.
By the way, for the more daring here: Is there still interest for the 20btc games? I might do one every week if there's sufficient interest.

We should work something out to prevent the absurd spectacle of a daily massive round ending in 2 hours. Anyone? Can't let this website die!
I think you need to attract new people who don't know they won't have a chance neither to get paid (because your first deposits are huge and only those get paid) nor to win the jackpot (because a bot will in almost every round). The entire site is one big ponzi then! I think we should keep the honest and in-your-face underpinnings of bitponzi. We can't rely on an ever-increasing supply of fools.

I am a Chinese from Hong Kong. I am only recently aware of this Bitcoin project. So I first try to setup rigs for mining, I found it is very difficult to source ATI HD5xxx cards in HK(I know they are available from Newegg or other online stores but either shipping is too expensive or not ship international and also the warranty issue). Finally, I bought two HD5850 from taobao.com (Chinese ebay). Although the store claims these XFX cards, I definitely know they are not. I can barely overclock one card to 850MHz and another one to 880MHz. Setting up a mining pool is not a easy task I believe, you need the domain registration and bandwidth and the most important thing is you may not have enough users to keep the pool running. Currently, I am mining at deepbit.net and abcpool.co
You probably got a shanzhai pair of cards This story is emblematic of so many things in China..
