I've been playing http://coinbomb.com/ for the last few days - its a really cool mix of bitcoin trading, gambling and social media - and its a really clever way to introduce bitcoins to the general public. Before anyone starts thinking its just a piece of self publicity - it isn't - I had nothing to do with it, I've just been playing it. It just strikes me that games are the great way to introduce ideas to people in a way that isn't threatening - and that is exactly what bitcoin needs. What do you think? Is coinbomb.com the answer we have been looking for to take bitcoin to the next stage, or is it missing something? Would love your feedback!

So how do you guys pass these things along?
Post on facebook and other social media?
Sounds like each game is a Micro-MLM to me. Forcing you to sell something to others; not very fun in the least.

Each bomb has its own round. When the timer runs out for that bomb the round is over. The timer is usually 24h but can be lower or higher for special one-time bombs, and will reset back to 24h if someone purchases a bomb.

TNT Bomb is broken @ 22h01 GMT +1 ?? Someone sent a transaction with no fees so it took too long to verify. It is available again.

Nice concept. 2 questions: - When you pay to grab a bomb, is it yours right away or do you have to wait for the 6 confirmations? - If you wait, how long do you wait before rollbacking?

We verify transactions before changing the owner of the bomb. 2 Confirmations for BTC and 6 for LTC. Payments currently have 2 hours to verify.

2 hours for 2 confirmations seems to be more than enough. Do you have any kind of public statistics, such as the average value of each bomb when it explodes, etc. ? Or should we keep track on our own ?

ok guys, some BIG CHANGES just uploaded!
The site now uses PUSH notifications. That means bomb updates/drops will be near instant. No more missing bomb drops, and needing to refresh.
NEW BOMB : GROUP BOMB
We all know these type of games have a ceiling - the value of the bomb just gets too high, and no one buys. NOT ANYMORE.
Players pool their funds together to buy the bombs, so (for instance) 3 players can buy at a level, and all get the same % profit on their investment. Check out the FAQ for more details.
Bombs start as normal, and then become group buys as they get too high. Watch the Saturation / Carpet bombs.

Fun Game! I noticed in the last couple of days, a few times the timers were extended, why was that?

Agree it's a fun game, though I'd like to offer an alternative on group bombs, since they slow down the whole entertainment.
When you own a bomb, and it's got less than 12 hours to live, then you can send 10% of its price to change it to a group bomb, once. There is no more automatic switching.
And the bombs will explode much more frequently, which is what they're designed for.

Interesting, we were under the impression that the groups actually speed up the game, because anyone can put in a smaller amount at any time, as if it were round 1, but we're open to suggestion on it!
Suryc - when switching to a group bomb, the timers are extended. This gives buyers the chance to buy solo, then the rest to group in.
