yeah, about that... seeing as they both run on the EXACT SAME PLUGIN, your statement proves invalid. Because of Blockchain being down, my chain game just had a purchase at the wrong time.
Funny enough, people trust "Bitcoin Gem" and play it a whole lot more than my game, even though they run on the same plugin, AND my game has an idle reset of 2 weeks, compared to 24 hours.
Creator of the bitcoin gem here, trying to clarify: The bitcoin gem is NOT running any plugin, it is coded and designed from scratch. Your site (and a couple of other bitcoin gem clones) are running a WordPress plugin called "Bitcoin chain plugin", which is a bold ripoff of the bitcoin gem – and obviously not programmed very well.
If you're asking yourself why people trust the bitcoin gem, here's some suggestions for you:
- Don't rely on the blockchain.info API. Use your own bitcoind server and you have full control. If your site is not working as expected, it's always your responsibility.
- Make everything provable fair. Unfortunately, using the merkle root to determine resets is not provable fair. I learned that too and switched to a better system.
- Check your transactions daily and refund immediately if necessary
