Well, now that everythings running smoothly, lets see what I can break

Taking Feature Requests Now

All suggestions will be considered. Some may be shot down.

I think that we could have some more customizability with the jackpot.  You could have some option to give some of it to the second to last, or something.
You could also allow the starting player to take on a higher contribution to the jackpot than later deposits so that a game can be started off quickly but the starting player gets his money back faster.
Also ROI maximum used to be 200%, now it's 50%.

1. streaked jackpot - i like it.

say this is a round below, and the last 3 in the round get the Jackpot of 10 bitcoins

25.
26.
27. 1 btc
28. 2 btc
29. 7 btc

2. initial jackpot deposit - i like it.

3. ROI maximum should be unlimited. free markets are important.

It might be time to also reimplement some of the old features like sorting the table and email notification (although I don't know whether the email thing was that popular)

[mb300sd]

?? I don't see where your getting the 50% ROI limit form... this is the only section of code that checks it.
if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(roi) || !Regex.IsMatch(roi, REGEX_INTEGER))
{
   throw new ArgumentException("ROI must be an integer.");
}
...
roi = int.Parse(roi);
...
if (roi < 1 || roi > 200)
{
   throw new ArgumentException("ROI must be an integer between 1 and 200");
}

EDIT: no problems creating a doubler round... ROI=100


I like the streaked jackpot too, will put that on the list for later this week. I'm procrastinating on my programming assignment for class by programming, lol...

Initial jackpot deposit - how about a separate address that goes directly to the jackpot? Anyone can contribute if they want to.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the email was almost never used, so thats a pretty low priority. I'm already working on the sorting.

Hmm that's odd... I must be mistaken then.  Jonathan still wants to let the free market decide what the max ROI should be and I kind of agree with him, and this could be changed very quickly.

Also, I'm glad to hear that you're working on the jackpot features

A public bounty address for each round that is the Jackpot. Yes. We never implemented it, but it's a great way to do it. That way the host, and anyone who wants to see it keep growing, can contribute.

Killer feature. Get'er done!

A fixed expire time.  Like "Expire in 48 hours".  No matter when the last deposit was.

Awesome.

OK, the participation is a bit weak.

I'm in 3 of the 6.  bitcoinduit, bitponzi_official and welcome_back.

If someone enters all 3 of the ones I am in (they are at 5, 2, and 2 right now) I will enter each of the other 3 for 1 BTC (they are at 2,2 and 2 right now)

If I see 6,3,3 by 2 hours from now, I will do it.

edit:  to clarify, the "other 3" are goinggoinggoing, doubler and bernie_madoff

[geek-trader]

Someone entered as I asked, and I entered as I said I would.  I've used the same payout address for all:  1Ponzidbep2s7eF5NdVarPqkDrnzdGjdDx

Lets get some jackpots growing here!

[geek-trader]

I have started (again) The Forever Game.  http://bitponzi.net/Default.aspx?page=ViewRound&round=The_Forever_Game

May it again have the largest jackpot and highest payout total as it did on Bitcoinduit.

Sorting is working. I love LINQ didn't realize it worked on arrays! Spent a while trying to implement multiple IComparable interfaces, when this works

Code:

case "name":
	rounds = rounds.OrderBy(r => r.Name).ToArray();
	break;
case "roi":
	rounds = rounds.OrderByDescending(r => r.ROI).ToArray();
	break;
case "payout":
	rounds = rounds.OrderByDescending(r => ((_Round)r).PayoutTotal).ToArray();
	break;
case "remaining":
	rounds = rounds.OrderBy(r => ((_Round)r).Remaining).ToArray();
	break;
case "jackpot":
	rounds = rounds.OrderByDescending(r => ((_Round)r).JP).ToArray();
	break;

Added a bit of a todo list. Still taking contributions...

Hi mb300sd,
I'm not really that acquainted with .NET... how efficient is LINQ?  I just read up on it and it seems concise but the disassembled code ends up being very long.
Of course, it probably doesn't matter for your site.

I haven't looked into the speed of LINQ to objects very much, but it definitely generates more efficient SQL than I could write myself. I'm sure I'll hit my bandwidth limit long before I overload this 74% idle quad core... (mining sucks up 1 core)
