CoinBomb.com has just launched!

(...) A good idea too for remotivate players because a lot have gone recently, see ltc players.... is to payback 25% or 50% of the price bomb when exploding as a consolation prize

I've fate on you ! Already bought 2000 visits on bitvisitor and 2000 visits on honeybitcoin advertising

I'd rather choose the idea of using the funds to increase the jackpot for future bigger prizes instead of returning them as consolation prizes.

I guess that's better for gamblers and so it is for the house.

"that pays whom holds"

I don't understand. (...)

Let me try to explain it a little bit more:

I just suggested a kind of bomb that you get paid the value accumulated in jackpot only when the bomb explodes (countdown times up) and you are the last holding it.

Example of reverse coinbomb (10% Interest & 1.25x Multiplier & 1 BTC Jackpot):

1) McCartney first buys the bomb for 0.1 BTC;

2) Lennon buys the bomb (before 24h countdown) for 0.125 BTC (McCartney gets paid back 0.11 BTC);

3) Harrison buys the bomb (before 24h countdown) for 0.15625 BTC (Lennon gets paid back 0.1375 BTC);

4) Starr buys the bomb (before 24h countdown) for 0.1953125 BTC (Harrison gets paid back 0.171875 BTC);

5) Ozzy buys the bomb (before 24h countdown) for 0.244140625 BTC (Starr gets paid back 0.21484375 BTC);

6) 24h countdown finishes without any additional purchase and the bomb explodes. Ozzy wins the jackpot prize of 1 BTC or + (there could be a progressive jackpot that increases itself with every additional buy)!

That's it!

nice concept ! but 1 BTC is too much for the looser in your case need to be adjusted

The 1 BTC jackpot prize is just an example of a progressive accumulated prize that will be funded with some % of every additional purchase, so its funding is going to be distributed for various gamblers, not to only one "loser" in particular.

Well, that's just a Beta idea...development and thinking is still required.

Instant win jackpot seems to be frozen, no instant win since 2013-06-10

Weird

It shouldn't be. Most likely just a string of bad luck. Keep trying someone will win sooner or later

[PurpleTentacle]

You should add a cool-down period right after a payment is verified, during which bombs are still locked. It could be randomly set to 10 to 60 seconds. This would actually give people a chance to buy a bomb before a bot does.

ok so is this a game of chance or skill? it seems like it would take some skill to determine by probability the likelihood of making a profit but it does also seem like just straight chance.

It is chance + guesswork, i.e. guessing when it is more likely for people to buy back your bomb.
Only problem is that you don't have much information to guess that correctly, so it's more luck than anything.
Still nice, though.

Because you accept Litecoin on CoinBomb.com I have added the site to my thread "[LTC] List of Litecoin Faucets, Lotteries, Gaming Sites" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=223514.0

sorry, while the entire front of the site is automated, the affiliate system is still a manual process. It's been sorted for this week, you should see your payment now!

[galtbit]

Does it work?

[gollygosh]

I might give it a go

We're averaging over 50 visits active on the site at all times at the moment. There are plenty of players, the more people that play the more others will. It is a exponential effect

Bear in mind that coinbomb is currently using a bot to lock out every potato on bitpotato right now just to advertise their URL. This is costing people money because their potatoes will expire without anyone being able to buy them. This is the kind of immoral and irresponsible behavior you do not want in people holding your LTC should something go wrong. Avoid.

Any proof to back up this very strong claim?

Andy B

Yes, that's pretty damning if true.

[CoinBomb]

We were as perplexed about that as everyone else, as we had nothing to do with it

We spoke to the bitpotato staff, and made sure they knew it wasn't anything to do with us. As we said at the time, honest competition is great, it forces innovation and makes everyone step up - that's how we compete, not underhand tricks.

I hope It doesn't explode on me
