PonziDOGE... this naugty shibe started a transparent ponzi game

[poncrypto]

Since there is no interest in LTC ... we will just keep running DOGE....

[ratty]

It sure served as a good learning experience, so you have ideas ready to go if ponzidoge gets the same problems when that eventually fades. It boosts confidence if you state you will cancel rounds if there's not much activity, then nobody feels like they might be the only "investor" and just automatically lose.

PonziDoge
Doge is rocking like usual so we are going to keep rocking it like it was!
Why fix something that is working good!
Starts tommorow @ http://ponzidoge.com



Litecoin Ponzi News ( http://ltcponzi.com )
We lowered the maximum deposit to 3LTC and the returns to 110%. This way out of 100 equal players 85 will win!

We are also going to run the LTC for 14days just to give everyone a fair shot! Lets hope it works!

If the game is under 5 players in first 5 minutes we cancel it and refund everybody minus the transaction fee which is .001.

Goodl old #dogeoin #ponzi http://ponzidoge.com starts in 1 hour and redesigned #litecoin ponzi http://ltcponzi.com starts 15 min after.

doge started 10 seconds early again. It was spot on for 2 rounds after I reported it before, but after that they start up early. sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes 15. I keep reloading at the 1 minute mark so I haven't been screwed because of it, but I'm just reporting it.

[poncrypto]

Strange problem... because we use server time and give it to Javascript to display.

I thought it was cloudflare caching so we disable javascript caching.

Not really sure what it is ... will investigate. For sure the issue is with java-script processing and it can be on your browser.


Also,
Can you post the link to the the bitcointalk litecoin thread in /r/litecoin

I think the 14 day long ponzo with low limits has high potential!

[ratty]

I'll post about it, I don't want to keep posting the links, it feels like spam. I hope they don't get mad at me.

Yep so the problem seems to be on client side because of javascript browser ... countdown implementation.
Will try to see if possible to send clock time directly to client over socket or something like that.

Well, look's like there is a degree of legitimacy here.

I can't believe I never thought to verify if it was an issue with my pc's local time, I just set my clock back a few months, and sure enough:



I'll just do a windows time sync thing before a round, problem solved for me at least.

[poncrypto]

Thanks for troubleshooting it, I think I can improve  the clock a bit then. Just give seconds left to the countdown timer... would probably be alot more reliable.

Whats with #41-#51 getting paid while #14-#40 don't?

[daeminium]

winner out of time?

[ratty]

I'm not positive I understand, but if you're pointing at a transaction in the blockchain that won, but appears to be late, then I can answer that one. The time you see on dogechain is when it makes it into the blockchain, ponzidoge works off the time the transaction is seen on the network (0 confirmations). I say that because when the round starts, a few second later and you'll see a whole buch of deposits, there's no way it is checking the blockchain if it sees things that quickly.

Thanks for answering this! Thats exactly right!

Paid last 10 shibes out of own pocket because one greedy shibe with 200K held up the line!

Also trying random starts with little warning to  see if it will change dynamics a bit!

[ratty]

Yeah you sure got me with the random time, I was completely unprepared. Good job though, I think it will help give more people a chance to win, which is better for everyone.

So right now it says next round in about 23 hours, will the next one start after that, or anytime and I should ignore the countdown timer?

[poncrypto]

Hm... I have not thought of random start times and end times... not sure that would work
