y4x.com: BTC awarded on first block that has a bid

[dooglus]

Now that there are lots of games running it might be better to show the results in reverse order, so that I don't have to keep scrolling to the bottom of the page to see the most recent results.

Maybe also by default only show the 25 (or whatever) most recent games, but offer a link that shows them all, or pages through them 25 at a time.

I won 0.01 3 times in a row since I was playing without competition.

Then my 0.011 was beaten by a 0.0111, and in my hurry to regain the lead I accidentally bid 0.1111 after my initial bid had been confirmed.

So that's a 0.1111 profit for the site operator.

That was me, sorry

No need to apologise.  That's kind of the game...

Wasn't a real apology, hence the  

Hope you can keep doubling your money, I need some sleep.

It seems the 3 of us who play this game are all on different sleep patterns and rarely clash with each other!

Yep, so it does look like :-) But hopefully there will be competition..

I let the game run with no gaps last night to test the payment scripts.  I am looking closely and I don't think any errors occurred.  Cool !  Late last night I set it back to the standard 5 games + 4 hour gap schedule.

I think that's funny and awesome that there are just a few players and you all pick up the initial bid .  I saw the one where the initial bid didn't make it in, that's a fun twist.

I changed all the links to blockchain.info, they seem the same to me but blockchain.info has been requested twice.  I also reversed the list of Past Winners.  I think the results table is too crowded for more stats at the moment, but I keep it in mind.

Thanks for playing and making suggestions.  I would like to send 1 BTC to dooglus, Nite69 and Yuhfhrh for their kind thoughts on ways to improve the game.  dooglus and Yuhfhrh: post a receiving address please.  Nite69: I used the address in your signature.

Thank you, that's very generous! Address in my sig is ok.

Bidding Address #41 reveals in 0 days, 2 hours, 42 minutes, and 1 seconds

"1 seconds" is messy.    Can you tell I'm running out of things to 'complain' about?

Instead of refreshing the page every 10 seconds, do a local countdown or use AJAX!

Correct, I will do an AJAX call to the JSON-API.  I can probably do that today, I put the last part in place just now which is the automated generation and entry of the vanity addresses.

Shouldn't be very hard to code a php bot for this.


repeat every second {

define max bid

get all transactions from bidding address -> verify if all of them has 0 confirmations -> verify if last bid is mine

if not -> get last bid value, add 1 satoshi -> bid

}

Correct, and you can hit http://y4x.com/json.php to see information on the upcoming and current address.

To mark 50 completed pots I have set the initial bid for the next auction to be 1 BTC and for tomorrow evening.

I have updated the page to reload the counter with a call to the server instead of reloading.  Thank you for asking.

Fixed for "days", "hours", "minutes", and "seconds".

When you have this up and running please be sure to come back here and tell us what you have "max bid" is defined as.

Since there are many auctions you could easily learn the bots behavior... just watch for the guy who is bidding satoshis and where he stops bidding
