Rounds 3 & 4 both had no winners... Round 5 in progress running to target block 237,000 with a prize pool of 0.065 BTC ($8.12 USD) at the time of writing.

I decided for the fun of it to run through the block chain and count up all the hash endings to see if any where neglected or if it's fairly uniform and the results I found suggest the distribution is fairly uniform and there is an equal chance of winning with any ending to your transaction.

Code:
Blocks ending in 0 = 14740
Blocks ending in 1 = 15022
Blocks ending in 2 = 15045
Blocks ending in 3 = 14989
Blocks ending in 4 = 14847
Blocks ending in 5 = 14631
Blocks ending in 6 = 14755
Blocks ending in 7 = 14837
Blocks ending in 8 = 14739
Blocks ending in 9 = 14536
Blocks ending in a = 14822
Blocks ending in b = 14688
Blocks ending in c = 14884
Blocks ending in d = 14620
Blocks ending in e = 14787
Blocks ending in f = 14773
236715 Blocks analyzed.

It would be my preference to see the entries rolled over to the next round, If you did roll over perhaps put an asterisk next to the entrants  that have been rolled over ?

For tx fee I suggest using the default 0.0005 BTC fee.

I do have 1 small concern, say you get several big bets of 1 btc each.
Then a clever player decides to make 100 bets at 0.0001 each.

The clever player would have a far greater chance of collecting the price at a reduced cost.

edit: after re-reading your FAQ it seems there are only 16 possible results 0-F so I guess the example I gave above is unlikely to be profitable often which such a small result range.
Alright, rolling over insignificant entries was what I was leaning towards so I'll go with that. A note distinguishing rollovers is a good idea as well, will do.


As for your clever player in addition to that the player making a bet at 0.0001 is likely still paying a tx fee, and when that is paid 100 times there is quite a lot of overhead to the method since the fee is 5 times their entry.


Realistically though I believe you are better off making multiple moderately sized entries than one large dump or too small of an entry either.

shit really, Id better make my bet now !

Bet made, can you tell me what the min and max bets are ?

There are none for either.

Since the prize comes purely from the entries it is simply the entries being paid back out to the winner.
No BTC are put in by the service itself so winnings can never exceed the current balance of the account resulting in being unable to pay back rewards.

One thing to note is that the transaction fee to send out the winnings is deducted from the balance prior to distribution.


A couple things yet to be decided, perhaps you could assist?

In the odd event that the prize cannot cover the transaction fee I have 2 possibilities under consideration...
1) I front the fee and distribute a minuscule amount of coins to the winners.
2) The entries simply roll over to the next round until the prize pool is large enough

The next thing I have to narrow down is what transaction fee should I put on the prize distribution.

Clarification as to my use of the term "transaction fee" when distributing winnings: that is the bitcoin network fee to the miners not a fee that BlockEnd gets to keep.

It would be great if you could either add http://blockend.net to your list or if not offer me some feedback as to how it can be improved and subsequently added to said list.

Currently:
Min bet is 1 satoshi... lol
Max bet is not applicable so it can be anything
Provably fair all results are on the blockchain

Hi bitspill, if you want to hurry things up a bit chat with me on gmail talk - (mem.namefix at gmail.com).

I'll have a look during my lunch break and will reply shortly.

edit: ok this is a nice simple idea, I like it. Nice to see previous rounds and complete FAQ addressing my usual questions.
I shall give it a try and report back shortly.

Sounds good, and we are soon to be upon the end of Round 3 with block 235,000 right around the corner. (234,917 as of this writing)

http://blockend.net/

To enter simply send any amount of bitcoins to the address shown and you are entered. When the target block is mined the round is over and after several more blocks have been mined to account for orphan blocks the winner will be determined and paid.

Winner is found simply by matching the last character of the block hash to the last character a transaction hash in case of a tie funds are split based upon ratio of initial amount entered. We are currently running Round 3 with a target block of 235,000.

All coin winnings will be sent to the address sending in the coins to us. Do not use a shared wallet, Mt.gox etc.

As to the trustworthiness all transactions are open on the blockchain including the winner selection and proof of winner receiving payment. No hot wallets exist on the webserver fronting the page to remove the possibility of a hacker compromising the server and stealing the coins. In other words all coin handling is managed elsewhere.

Additionally if you are afraid I may hit and run with some coins send a few satoshi over, nothing big lost, however nothing really gained either...
In any case, it is better to earn coins legitimately and in the long run more can be done than making a one-time disposable scam.

Feedback, Questions, Concerns?

I don't have a smart phone but I see there may be something similar for windows or for html.  Maybe I will have to go with that. I need to get a smartphone but haven't had time to figure that out.

Understand though that 2FA means TWO FACTORS.  that is two independent systems that to compromise the account BOTH need to be compromised simultaneously.  Having your authenticator on the same computer you login would be like getting two locks for your front door and putting both keys side by side under the mat.

a) get google authenticator on a smartphone
b) get a yubikey
c) have your account compromised and lose potentially tens of thousands of dollars
While true in some regard it is much harder to compromise an entire computer than to obtain their password via social engineering or to exploit XSS to initiate a withdrawal while another tab is already logged in.
