I will throw some hash on this coin.

I hope you mean bitcoin

how to use blockchain to burn it?

[TwinWinNerD]

just send it to the burn address. very simple. use 0.0001 fee

[pigheadbig]

do anyone already use the dice function ?
is that normal to use?

[TwinWinNerD]

Yes it is already working, but the client atm has a display bug and doesn't show the right amounts. I hope there is a fix employd soon

thanks, I have seen you be very active about this project ,what's  the relationship between you and the author?
I just wonder .

I burned some BTC and want this project to succeed.

I don't know the creator, but I think he is doing good work!

I burned some ,too ,let's see the results.

Allright, there is no warning now. But, still nothing happen when click the wallet.

The exact same behaviour here.

go to bitcoin.config and set txindex=1
then start the deamon with this phrase -reindex

(you only need to reindex it once!)

Do you mean chancecoin.config?  That is what the instructions say to modify.

I cannot get it working either.

How do you 'start the deamon with the phrase -reindex'?  (for the computer illiterate)

where is the dev team?

The dev team are busy in earning money

1. The numbers are taken from the first NY lottery immediately after the block that contains the transaction. Does this rely on perfect time synchronisation, with the timestamp put into the block being the correct time? What happens if a block is orphaned and the transaction moves into another block that is subject to a different set of NY lottery results?

2. The technical specifications and the code appear to differ:
     - Spec says final variable is “(rA + rB) %1", but the code says %2
     - Spec says Ra is the sum of (number i) over each i in 1..20, but the code says (number-1 i)
     - The code has a factor of 100; is this represented in the specifications? Code is: roll1 = n/(N-1)*100
    Am I reading this wrong (quite likely, actually...); or which one is correct?

3. Do you have formal proof that rA is a standard uniform random variable (assuming the numbers from the NY lottery itself are random)?

Shameless bump! Did the dev (or anyone) get a chance to take a look at these questions yet?

we need the dev team show up to solve the problem and tell us the process of this project.

1. This does rely on reasonable time synchronization. If people are worried about timestamp cheating, we can always increase the verification time, but there's a tradeoff there. If a block is orphaned and a transaction moves into another block, the bet will be resolved based on the new block.

2. The %2 was a bug. I just released version 1.3 to fix that, and the Windows client will be updated shortly. I also updated the technical specification to reflect what actually happens in the code. (number i) was a typo, and I had forgotten to mention the factor of 100 is simply to put the standard random uniform variable into percentage terms (since Chancecoin saves the chance of winning as a percentage as well).

3. I can write up the formal proof once the bitcoinj wallet gets off the ground. I apologize for taking a while to answer questions recently. Venetian and I have been pounding the code treadmill pretty hard with this new wallet software.

How do you 'start the deamon with the phrase -reindex'?  (for the computer illiterate)

1. Go to your Bitcoin daemon folder, which should be "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon" for most people.
2. Right click on "bitcoind" and Send To --> Desktop (create shortcut)
3. Go to the newly created "Shortcut to bitcoind" icon and right click on it, then select "Properties."
4. In the "Target" field, type a space after "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" and enter -reindex. It should look like ["C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" -reindex] without the brackets, of course.
5. Click on "Apply" then "OK."
6. Double click on the bitcoind shortcut to run it.

To safely shutdown bitcond without potentially corrupting the index, use these commands in CMD (without brackets), [cd C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon] and press Enter to access the bitcoind folder, then use the stop command with your RPC user and password, like this, [bitcoind -rpcuser=yourusername -rpcpassword=yourpassword stop] and press Enter. The rpcuser and rpcpassword you specified in your bitcoin.conf file will be used instead of "yourusername" and "yourpassword" from the example I just gave.

When you want to shutdown the computer to resume reindexing at another time, go to the bitcoind shortcut on your Desktop again and REMOVE -reindex so that the "Target" field only has ["C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe"] like it originally did, and then launch the shortcut. If you execute the shortcut again without doing this, you will have to start reindexing ALL OVER AGAIN, so make sure you remove the -reindex option.

I just bet my first three CHA yesterday using the Windows GUI, and it did not let me burn or place another bet until the last bet was resolved. It kept giving me an insufficient BTC error message when I had more than enough BTC in my address. After the bet was resolved (and I lost  ), I was able to successfully burn and place another bet. The only work around I have for this, is to use multiple addresses, but I'm pretty sure you guys can fix this.

I envision a future like something out of a Neo-Tokyo cyberpunk movie, with some Japanese teenagers in funny Google glass style optics interacting with a 3D, holographic render of a decentralized Chancecoin wallet/ATM. With a simple hand swipe gesture, a yellow die, appears before their eyes and they watch as it tumbles in digital space. They watch eagerly until the die settles down, awaiting the result, as they continue betting away their useless and heavily inflated digital Yen, in the hopes of earning meager, satoshi-like portions of CHA. They will look back at these posts and wonder how crazy we were to bet away all this money... and we will just laugh, comfortably from the luxury of our mansions, while our grandchildren surround us and ask us to tell them stories about the times we had nothing. About the times that we took the little BTC we had left and "took a chance on Chancecoin."

I'm going long on CHA. "Take a chance on Chancecoin."

To your first point, yes, we'll look into that and fix it. We don't want to inhibit betting in any way.

As for your second paragraph, you've earned yourself a spot on the home page. That is a beautiful vision of the future you have. 

[TwinWinNerD]

for multiple bets, you just need to have multiple inputs in your address. Works flawlessly , i tested that.
