Double Trouble (Instant/Automatic) w/ Partial Refunds! [12hr rounds]

Sounds like a good idea to me, encourages more betting and getting like a .1 return on 3 BTC bet didn't mean much.

The only "problem" I can see with that is that at the very end of a round, we'll see a ton of people rushing to put in a 0.1 bid over and over again to make sure they are the last one's in, but as long as the database can handle it, then we should be alright.

I've enabled it so the last person in line gets the remainder of the pot, instead of distributing it... Now I just have to wait till the end of the round and see if it works

So the new round will start at 12?

+1 for last entry incentive.  Could push more payouts too if people are trying to recoup pot on expected loss.  Should be interesting.  If you're taking suggestions: make min/max limits close to each other to promote greater player throughput, or at least cap max entries.  Gives players more predictability, which I believe results in more entries.

Never got any word on what happened to my BTC......

I am debugging paying out the last person in the game. We're looking at a midnight EDT opening. I just want to make damn sure there are no bugs.

The first round will be limited to 0.1 btc, so if anything does screw up, it won't be that bad lol.

Just need to make sure end-game payouts work, and we will be up and running.
