(E)t)h)e)x) 🔥🔥🔥 What's the next Ether block hash? Guess and get paid! 💰💰💰

[Shoesouse]

"you guess the symbols of a real, upcoming Ethereum block hash."

I didn't know Ethereum block hashes had shapes. Where can I learn more about this?

Hello, Shoesouse!

You can learn about it more in this article, https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Mining#the-algorithm.

Thank you for the link.

It's awesome that you guys have no control over the results of your game!

Hello, gamers, gamblers, and adventurers!

Because of the recent major update, we’ve decided to hold a contest among the players. In our game, you need to guess the last 6 symbols of the Ethereum hash block. This is quite challenging and exciting, but let's add a pinch of humor and fun to this process.

What is Ethex:


We are a cheat-free, simple and fun crypto lottery. There are no registrations, random numbers generators and so on. Your only task is to guess a sequence of 6 symbols of the REAL upcoming Ethereum hash block. You can learn more about the project in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5120151.0


What should be done:

1. Go to the Ethex.bet;
2. Make a “cool” bet using the ETH-hash symbols at your disposal;

Example (yes, we are not very original, so don’t let us down!):

3. Take a screenshot of your bet in Bets Explorer, as it is on the example above;
4. Post the screenshot in your favorite social media and share the link with me in PM (NOT in this thread).
5. Wait for the results to be announced.

We will post the funniest and unusual examples.

Reward:

The winner will be able to buy 100 free tickets of the Ethex Lotto, which is equivalent to 1 ETH. Let us remind that each purchased ticket participates in the draw of FOUR jackpots (over $ 10,000).


Timeline: April 15, 12:00 PM GMT


That's all! We wish you all good luck and we will be happy to answer any questions if you have them.

So what is your sense of humor and savvy capable of?

Can we get multiple entries if we post it on multiple social media sites? 100 for Facebook, 100 for Twitter, for example?

Can we get multiple entries if we post it on multiple social media sites? 100 for Facebook, 100 for Twitter, for example?

For the announced contest we would have 1 winner, who will be able to buy 100 free tickets of the Ethex Lotto, which is equivalent to 1 ETH. Let us remind that each purchased ticket participates in the draw of FOUR jackpots (over $ 10,000).

Obviously, this is the same issue as described below. This bug is already known and we are working to fix it. After we will deploy the fixed EthexJackpot contract, we will identify the right winners for all previous jackpots using the data on bets transactions, stored in the Ethereum blockchain, and will pay them their jackpots. Your tickets will also play for all previous jackpots. We will publish separate report on this issue.

Hi analayaman,

We have found an error in the current version of our EthexJackpot contract. In some certain occasions this error prevents the smart-contract to correctly identify the low bound of the range of tickets for current jackpot draw. Taking into attention, that all jackpots are played on blocks that are multiple of 5000, monthly jackpots are played at the same block both with last weekly, and last dayly jackpots with only difference in identifying the bounds of the range of tickets taking for the draw for each jackpot. That is why 3 jackpots gone to andulolika and that is why some dayly jackpots gone to addresses that has no bets on this days.

What we consider to do:
1. First of all we will correct an error and update the EthexJackpot contract. We expect to have it done in upcomming days.
2. Next we will identify the right winners for all previous jackpots using the data, stored in the Ethereum blockchain, and will pay them their jackpots, if they haven't got them due to this error.
3. We will announce the bug bounty program and the program that encourages 3-rd party developers to build an opensource software that will help to verify Ethex transactions by anyone.  

Thank you for your attention and cooperation. Your reports were very helpful to find this error! I believe this very case makes it clear, how does blockchain and opensource technologies make it possible to build really transparent and cheat-free products.  

[anlayaman]

all these 3 contracts are belong to you guys on this game. verify them all. or just verify the current one u guys are using "0xd1cA..." and let us see and help you guys figure out what is wrong.

We have published all deployed versions of our contracts on GitHub: https://github.com/ethex-bet/ethex-contracts/blob/master/VERSIONING.md

We will verify on etherscan the latest version of each of them shortly and will maintain this list.

Your help is highly appreciated!

Can you please pm me bug bounty details ?

[anlayaman]

okay let me keep everyone updated.

after early seasonal jackpot draw. first 24 hours no-one got a ticket. so daily jackpot tx returned nothing that means there were no bets.
second day, It was only b74... wallet who got only one ticket. second daily jackpot call returns daily jp to our beloved legendary baublublu, some still believe he is one of yours.

we will see whats happening as soon as you guys verify contracts I posted above.
Since you guys say you will verify those contracts that you own, and since they are not at your github post, I will keep everyone informed from users side of view ^^

ow verifying SC at etherscan is veery veeeeeeeery long progress so you should start paper work asap (:

MAINTENANCE NOTICE

Kindly note, we are performing maintenance. Our website will be available once we update our contracts to fix this issue. This fix includes the migration of the data on tickets, stored within EthexJackpot contract. Due to the EVM limitations we need to divide the migration of all data into 7 chunks. The migration operation of the first chunk we have launched 2 hours ago, currently has the estimation of +3.5 hours on etherscan. Sorry for inconvenience, we will keep you informed posting updates further.

WEBSITE IS ACTIVE

We have updated our contracts to fix this issue. The website is active now. Feel free to play!

Update details:

This fix was made into 2 steps: First step included the migration of the data on tickets, stored within EthexJackpot contract, it was performed with the contract 0x574d60aa41bba8f90e87cfe0581d4e5cd8cd4870. It also included the fix to prevent early monthly and season jackpots draw.

Here is jackpot settings from our rules (https://ethex.bet/rules/#jackpots):

Code:

Daily Jackpot	  1/7 of Weekly Jackpot amount	Every 5000 block (roughly once a day)
Weekly Jackpot	  1/4 of Monthly Jackpot amount	Every 35000 block (roughly once a week)
Monthly Jackpot	  1/3 of Season Jackpot amount	Every 150000 block (roughly once a month)
Season Jackpot	  1/4 of total Jackpot amount   Every 450000 block(roughly once every three months)

Here is jackpot settings from EthexJackpot contract (https://etherscan.io/address/0xd1ca2d46f876395e8c6c510caaa93ee70c3b0028#code):

Code:

56:    uint256 constant DAILY = 5000;
57:    uint256 constant WEEKLY = 35000;
58:    uint256 constant MONTHLY = 140000;  <--
59:    uint256 constant SEASONAL = 420000; <--

Updated EthexJackpot contract contains the right values and both monthly and season jackpots will be drawn on block #7650000.

After it was done, we have deployed the last version with the EthexJackot 0xcdf9b522d962c0c45c9744ffa5ea6cedd07f6a6f and EthexLoto 0xe06d27b95616cd9922a4af2ee95f6802b7e08a9a. Both smart-contracts are verified on etherscan.

gotcha on that seasonal jp, mine was just a fishing... what about all the "broken" daily and weekly jp's ?

[EthexBet]

what about all the "broken" daily and weekly jp's ?

We are busy identifying the broken jackpots and right winners using the data, stored in the Ethereum blockchain. After we do it we will pay them their jackpots. Kindly, wait for the separate report on this issue.

How are the chances of winning here compared to something like the lottery?

How are the chances of winning here compared to something like the lottery?

Each lottery has it’s own mechanics, yet the most of them lowers their prize rates a lot. You can check it yourself comparing the wining chances of lotteries on different «bet vs prize» combinations. As example, we will take one of the most known lottery in the US. Player needs to select 5 numbers from 1 to 70 (white balls) and 1 number from 1 to 25 (gold ball). The ticket costs $2, and to win i.e $4 you need to guess 1 white ball and a gold ball. The winning chance is 1 : 89. Playing Ethex, you can double your bet if you guess just «any letter». Winning chance is 1 : 2.7. It says Ethex has x 33 times more chances to win 😉
