the current price is most likely what is preventing a new owner.
I don't think so: 3 days ago, I've tried to buy it 3 times and I got a "Meh, Our bitcoin server is currently off, etc etc.".
Good for me!
Because if you look at the list of previous owner, you'll notice that the last transaction never happened (empty link to blockchain).
Look like a little scam, doesn't it?
The reason you were seeing that message is because my website utilizes the Blockchain API. They have been having trouble keeping their API up and running, hence the difficulties with purchasing the Gold Coin.
As for the empty transaction, this is because when the Lokoum purchased the Gold Coin, the Blockchain API was having some major issues. If you don't believe me, just look at Blockchain's Twitter account. That should prove that at the very least, they've been having issues.
Also, this game is no scam. But if you don't trust the proof you see via blockchain, then you shouldn't play at all. I take no issue with being cautious. If you decide the Gold Coin isn't for you, then I respect your decision. However what I don't respect is making a judgement on something, when you have no proof with which to condemn.
To the people who have contributed to the Gold Coin chain game, my sincere thanks. To those who have not yet played, I invite you to look at every other bitcoin gambling game on the web, and compare their odds with mine. I trust you to judge for yourself whether it's a good bet or not. To the nay-sayers, I pose a question: Why are you into bitcoin at all, if you cannot trust "provably fair" games?
