Well do you, punk?

Instructions:
1) PM me or post in this thread saying "I want to play!"
2) I will PM you with a bitcoin address.  
3) Send up to .50 BTC in .01 increments to that address.    

Whoever sends the highest amount, will receive a prize of 1 BTC.  

But here's the catch:  If two people send the same amount, they knock each other out, and neither will win.  
If 3 people pay the same amount, the first two knock each other out, but the third person's payment is still valid. 

Example:  If the following amounts are sent:
1) .35
2) .48
3) .48
4) .21
Then the person that sent .35 will win.  

Please make sure that just like satoshidice, the address you send with is capable of receiving the winning 1 BTC.  

I will announce the winning address, and send the winning 1 BTC, as soon as I have received atleast 1.1 BTC.  

Also if you win, please post back here in the thread so you can gloat and personally be congratulated!  


Round 1:  Currently in progress......


Charlie Kelly: I'm pleading the 5th.  The Attorney: I would advise you do that.  Charlie Kelly: I'll take that advice under cooperation, alright? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor?  The Attorney: You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law.

What happens if a 3rd person pays the same amount? Do they take the place of the two that were knocked out?

Good point.  A rare event I would think, but possible.  In that case, that's what I'll do. 

New rule: 
If 3 people pay the same amount, the first two knock each other out, but the third person's payment is still valid.

Nash equilibrium (very loose use of the term, I know) for this is for everyone to send .5 BTC. There must be at least three players for the round to have a winner, so the best possible chance to double one's money is 1/3.
1/3 chance of 2x input is so obviously -EV that the game is unenticing.
