BTC/LTC chaingames list

[ScottJD]

Nice thread grouping these all together

[Yurkov]

There is another litecoin chain game called l8.lv (URL) I don't own it, however I do know the owner, could you put that up on the games board please?

Thanks,

Matt.

added, thanks for showing it to me

please buy time running out

Please buy what?

Thank you for maintaining this list. Many have copied word for word text/design and layout we have at the original www.bitcoingem.com

However, as you noted, we are the most popular and maintain the most action.  We recently added a counters for these incredible stats:

1149 Buyers who have owned the gem
808.33 BTC total paid out

Thank for all that play and make the site successful.  The more that play, the larger the gem value gets and the greater the profit for all!

I think the reason most of the chain games are a word for word copy is because there's a chain game maker out there that you put a few words and variables in and it spits a chain game out for you.

Thats right, I have seen that.  Its a carbon copy of our original site.  We have made tweaks and upgrades to distiguish ourselves and have larger projects in the pipeline.

However for players, playing on the sites with the most traffic is the least amount of risk, and for that reason we remain the leader in chain games.

and also because of the reason that the gem started the whole bitcoin chaingames feature

Last night we released phase 1 of our site upgrades!

We have added:

1. A leaderboard that shows all time, 60 day and 14 day most expensive gems and leaders (as well as their advertising)
2. a new layout for the FAQ and previous owners lists.
3. A change to the random reset:

Price < 0.25 = 1 in 32 chance of a reset
0.25 < Price < 0.5 = 1 in 64 chance of a reset (this is what all transactions are set to currently)
Price > 0.5 = No Random Resets

Now there's a bit more incentive to buy the gem as it gets more expensive, while the early levels are still free money the vast majority of the time.

4. Change to the inactivity reset time of the gem.  Instead of 24 hours it is now 18.

We have another phase of upgrades coming in a few weeks that will also include layout and design upgrades and a captcha to prevent bots.

We strive to always improve the quality of our game play and player experience and continue to keep the site the leader in chaingames.

Thanks to all the players and any feedback would be appreciated as always. Good luck.

I contend that theorb.biz is not provably fair. (This problem may be more wide-spread, but this is one example.)

Bummer, this was an unlucky purchase.
Here's proof:

Transaction hash: http://blockchain.info/tx/e29d70bd2b809d5bae52ed735049637c22f6b720b88db395ff90913342615b85

This transaction was included in block number:

This block has merkle root:

We build hmac_sha512(merkleroot,txhash): 01908f65739b3a7c95dd6656fbc0b762778d6a79ee439deb6e96c3cd1dab70707615f173f320b4a d0c3d4446821f8c848eb7344307e1944fa6e85b0214ec6b34

First 2 bytes of our hash in hex are: 0190

First 2 bytes in decimal are: 400, which is less than 655. q.e.d.

Looking at the block chain, this transaction is a transaction created by their software. The actual transaction was http://blockchain.info/tx/306f838025f28a8ac1a4a55f696d407ae571630df17219d3484b2f523b8a61a7

Sumthin' tells me there's a reason they don't do this in Vegas...

We have now introduced a captcha to bitcoingem.com to deter bots! enjoy playing!

I've been playing with theorb.biz for a long time already, and I personally know the owner as well. From what I can tell it's perfectly provably fair. If you have doubts about certain things, like this transaction for example, you should mail the site owner. The owner is a very understanding person.

[spike420211]

They all seem relatively fair to me.
As to whether the general public buys into
any sort of auction/drop-bucket gambooling,
I'm not sure. There will be skeptics.

[simpy]

what has happened to theorb.biz?

Will they return amounts to whoever was owner last?

they're updating their site most likely, and idk about the last owner but if not you should mail him and you'll get refunded. Usually that happens automatically

[sartan]

theorb isn't working, needs to be removed from the top of this list. Also it looks like the last person wasn't refunded

Try satoshidiamond.org with 50% cash back to last owner and 0% random reset

[talnted]

The new captcha at bitcoingem.com is working smoothly, and we have recieved great positive feedback from our players!

Looks like theorb is back up although the last person was timed out despite it being out of commission.

Can you guys confirm what typically happens when these sites go down?  That's one reason I have been avoiding them, the worry that if it ever did get bid up to 1btc the owner would just shut it down.
