We have our first two deposits, still time to get in on the ground floor in this round, folks.

[Dradien]

Sent in some, this should be fun:)

[nhodges]

If you were player #1 you were just paid out, waiting on confirmations.

[Ardolafat]

Your 1.2x game was better for me 

[ones51]

When are you going to update the spreadsheet?

[nhodges]

Sorry ones51, I was finishing up some work. Spreadsheet is updated and second payment is out! I try to check and update the spreadsheet at least every 30 minutes while I'm awake, for everyone's information.

@Ardolafat: I am considering running the 1.2x on an off interval from this game, what do you think about an 11am/11pm PST (UTC -7) game?

[Ardolafat]

second payment is out!

Thanks

That would be great

[ones51]

GOGOGOGO! Get in now before it's too late! GOGOGOGO!

[nhodges]

30 minutes left!

[nhodges]

First round is over, loser payouts sent out, waiting for next round to start in 27 minutes!

[nhodges]

Game's on in 10 minutes!

[zipxavier]

Having problems viewing the spreadsheet, a permission error.

[nhodges]

Updated, thanks! For some reason it didn't save the permission even though it gave me the public link. I don't get it, but we're all good now. 4 minutes to start!

[Ardolafat]

In game   

[nhodges]

Lots of players today, get in while it's hot!

[Ardolafat]

Confirmatoins take too long after last difficulty increase 

[nhodges]

I agree, I put up the bets in the order I receive them unconfirmed, and just mark them confirmed when they appear in block explorer. All this means is that you wait a little longer for payouts (I only pay out when the payment is locked in)

Here's some of the funny stuff going on right now, a .75 bet (2cd bet) got confirmed before a 1.5 bet (1st bet)

[zipxavier]

I am the 1.5 bet btw

[Ardolafat]

Look at the order

Yeah lol BE is not accurate for timing of bets. I am going to post screenshots of the unconfirmed starting bets as proof of betting order from now on, too.

[Ardolafat]

I think that you make future rounds shorter(for a half hour maybe) for such cases of network lags.

[nhodges]

So 12:00 - 11:00 instead of 12:00 - 12:30? I can do that.

[Ardolafat]

Yep, maybe.

Now we only need to get 1,000,000 of those played through this game!

[Update - Pot is showing empty because a purchase I made decided to use the games bitcoin and not from my regular wallet, rest assured I still have the pot total on hand: 1.271] TIMESTAMP 11:00 PM UTC

[nhodges]

Nice, fastest gun on the net right here playing Double Dare!

BTW, players, next rounds will be 9 hours long, to allow for 3 hours promotion to get the rounds to a bigger size.

[Ardolafat]

I dont see the last 1.97 on spreadsheet, but i see it on blockexplorer.

[nhodges]

I dont see the last 1.97 on spreadsheet, but i see it on blockexplorer.

1.97 was me putting money back into the wallet because I accidentally spent .2 from it (see above post), this will be verified by noone coming to the thread to claim it. Just got confirmations on the .61 bet and added it to the spreadsheet. Game's over in 30 minutes, guys!

[nhodges]

Game's on, only one rider so far, get in while it's early!

[Ardolafat]

ok 

[nhodges]

Well, I've automated Double Dare, feel free to get in at the 30 minute mark, every hour!

[Ardolafat]

There is no server time

upd: I found it 

[nhodges]

OMG, thanks for pointing that out. Time's added!

[nhodges]

We've got our first payout in our automated version of Double Dare, who will be next? New round starts in 6 minutes!

[ananas5]

You should make a rule that if there's just one or two bets you would return the bets. At least for now because I haven't seen much players in this game.

[nhodges]

What sounds better, a full refund if no payouts have been made, or enabling a feature like end-of-the-round sniping, where the remaining pool is split with the last player instead of the entirety of the remaining players?

[WesleyK]

Last option will definitly get more players in .

Just added sniping, trying to test it out right now but MBC is being stupid.

You might want to change up the rules on the first post and the note on the bottom of your page.

[nhodges]

I am, it is still operating the normal way until I can test it.

[nhodges]

@tysat: Updated the thread now that I've verified sniping works. :]

[nhodges]

Just updated the script so that if there is only one player at the end of a round, their wager is refunded!

[remssik]

^^That was what was keeping me out. I'll buy in from time to time if I'm around =).

[nhodges]

Good to know, thanks! I was considering extending the rounds to 3 or 6 hour rounds as well, what do you think?

[Trayber]

nobody plays these con games.

[remssik]

Start with 3-6 hr games and shorted when you have more players =)

-Rem

[nhodges]

Okay, I will change the round structures at 12PM PST (7PM UTC), which is in 11 hours and 23 minutes from now.

[nhodges]

In two hours the round structure will go from every hour, half past the hour, to 3 hour rounds @ 00:30, 3:30, 6:30, 9:30, 12:30, 15:30, 18:30, and 21:30!

[Edit: I missed the time frame while I was busy at work, will update the round frequency this evening.]

I didn't read the rules and made a .38BTC bet not realizing it needed to be in .25BTC increments :-( Is this a problem?  Did I just lose my extra bitcoins?  Also, why does my bet not even show up yet??

[nhodges]

Yeah, it requires .25 BTC increments, can you let me know the wallet address you submitted? I'll refund your wager, and it's not showing up because, as you noticed, the bet didn't fall within the requirements of the incremental wager.

I will also be changing the rules tonight at the day reset (12:30 AM PST, 7:30 AM UTC) to make the game more appealing to new players.

* Games will run 3 or 6 hours, haven't decided yet, most likely will take a vote in the chat.
* Games will require a minimum wager of 0.1, and not have a forced wager interval at all.

Got it, awesome, thanks!  Good honest person here!

[nhodges]

I didn't mess with the hours, but the game now accepts different wagers:

* Minimum wager of 0.1 BTC
* No forced bidding increments, make as unique of a wager as you feel like

[DaMan]

Let me try it, too.

[nhodges]

Let me try it, too.

I saw a couple people play today, low amounts but we had winners! Post here if you made some koinz!

We were having DNS issues earlier today, switched to new domain.
