To be honest, I cant see the way a miner can cheat. They would have to cheat the blockchain itself.
A miner would cheat by submitting a tip for x transactions. Then he would take the transaction associated with the tip and include that in a block that also has x transactions total. Then he wins. OK, understand now. to clarify: we count with transactions already included in blocks (min. 1 conf) But when the particular miner is able to mine a valid block with X BLOCKtxs while his BETtx is linked to winning TIP then you are correct. He wins ... & this pot can turn into battle of miners. There is no need for a battle. Miners would not broadcast the TX. If they find the block they include the TX with the exact number of other TX require to win. If another miner finds the block they let your time limit pass. They can even fill the block with the needed TX in order to reach the number of the tip. A mining pool can only win playing your game while everyone else can do nothing about it. Definitely you found something we did not count with. Is really that easy to setup the miner for finding blocks with fixed number of txs... can't this affect the miner effectivity ..?

It is quite easy. It really only needs a slight code change to make blocks with a fixed number of transactions. This doesn't affect their profits since they can set something high enough to collect a lot of fees, and at this time, the fees are pretty much negligible anyways.

Thanks, then we can made it a bit harder by changing the rules .... guess the nb of txs in block above the one your bet tx is included ... could this help?

Possibly, but it still wouldn't be that hard to cheat. The miners would just then mine the next block to have the number of txs that they guessed.

Id call it an improvement over a sure way to win, even if its only possible for a small group.

While leaving the honest users unharmed ... That sounds good.

And we have a WINNER .... total 0.10375 BTC (in two blocks)
Unfortunately the he's a friend of mine whom I've asked to support the POT, so there will be no refund towards him. Nevertheless, the payout will occur as usual (this evening) and to compensate the POT loss ... I'm going to donate it.
TIP: Apparently the most convenient way is guessing 1 transaction.
