Hi kairos can you tell me when payments get sent back from previous rounds as it says confirmed too late sent back?

If you see "confirmed too late - returned to sender", payment should be sent already.
Do you have some problem with specific payment?

  Good day, please explain how in the last round Accepted payment on 23-30 which has not yet been acknowledged? c2350d4a20740305b8462e8c4f28a5f9eb4241bb6c2220d15c30505b121cdccf

The last round was not so clear why the transaction is counted at the moment has not been confirmed and if it counted, why not added to the balance?

The explanation is quiet depressing - a bug at blockchain.info.

https://blockchain.info/tx/c2350d4a20740305b8462e8c4f28a5f9eb4241bb6c2220d15c30505b121cdccf

It says "0 confirmations" but "Included In Blocks: 303349 (2014-05-30 16:39:47 +4 minutes)" at the same time!

If you look at this transaction using some other service, you will see that it has normally confirmed in few minutes:

http://blockr.io/tx/info/c2350d4a20740305b8462e8c4f28a5f9eb4241bb6c2220d15c30505b121cdccf

How could something like this happen to blockchain.info? I found out that there was an orphaned block at height 303349, that probably lead to some inconsistencies in blockchain.info database.

What do you mean with "why not added to the balance"? It is counted and it is added to the balance.

[elephantas1]

Hmmm is it just me or yellow vs blue doesnt work

[kairos]

Hmmm is it just me or yellow vs blue doesnt work

It's working... currently with 3 payments...

[mdzedzej]

fun game

[johnwest]

This game is really very interesting, I am going to try this game hope I will win.

[kairos]

Currently blockchain.info service is down, which is the reason why half of the payments of the last round are displayed as "unconfirmed". Don't worry about your deposits, we postpone evaluating the round until blockchain.info is up and running again. Plus, we are going to rework the game, in few days, to use some other platform - blockchain.info seems to be very unreliable.

Hi everybody when you invest here please calculate wisely. Because this game is like mathematical calculation. So invest wisely and be safe with your money.

Yes, you are right. The calculation is quiet simple, but still it seems that many players don't invest wisely. We plan to display more info on the page that shows how profitable is it to send money with current fee rate...

The game isn't supposed to be about some hidden risk.

I wish the two games were staggered, so they didn't start and end at the same time. It would be nice when the yellow vs blue ended the other one was half-way done. Just my opinion and something to think about.

+1 to that. This ensures that folks in multiple time zones can play with lower fees!
Nice game BTW!

Hi Kairos / Community,

When are the payouts made for the previous round? I have some good satoshi coming my way

Edit: Scratch that, just recd. Fantastic!

[micky123]

Hi Kairos,

Can one person invest in the same fish twice? So, if i see i am taking a loss and as per my calculation, i can salvage some of my BTC am i allowed to invest again in the same fish?

Sure. You can send as many payments as you want.

We will introduce 6-hour rounds for red-vs-green game soon. So the fee rate will be raising with the same speed in both games (0.002316 % per second), but there will be two red-vs-green rounds finished during one yellow-vs-blue round.

At least it's semi-original.

It's an interesting concept, but I wouldn't call it "investing in" the fish. It's pure gambling. At any given moment someone with a bigger wallet could "eat" the others easily.
So it's extremely risky to play and with the fees rising the potential profit is minimal as well.

Sure, it's a game ... and games usually use real-world words, like life, death, killing, investing... ;-)

You are a little wrong that someone with bigger wallet could eat others "at any given moment" - how can you do it if the fee is 99.99 % at that moment?

Always depends on the wallet =D
There are people on JD playing hundreds of BTC in a single bet. Of course that wouldnt be practical anymore since the fee would eat the profit.

It might be interesting to see it as a social experiment to keep stats on.  Especially at the beginning when odds are still even.

The favors in the red vs green round right now could be easily changed with a single payment. Thats what I meant. Playing at a high fee doesnt make sense anyway since you can only lose then.
