Great user interface... Gameplay is sort of complicated though, you might consider adding a little tutorial that's not text based to lower the barrier of entry. Also, maybe a quick play function if you're a newbie to it.
I'm glad you like it. Have you looked at the "Getting Started" page? Although, sure, that page needs more pictures.

I would have to agree with that Chillz... We could probably make the explaination a bit easier.

So, would you like to update it?

I will look into it. Did you see, we won on the last cake ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Yea! And, I checked how it went, and everything went fine! I'm quite sure that if the cake has this "All OK. Cake Done" stamp on it, everything really is OK with the cake. That is, ALL payments went as they should. Thing is, I got error checks all the way, and I set this boolean to true absolutely last if nothing bad happened. If something did go wrong, it wouldn't have reached the line to set this boolean in the database to true, so, it it is set to true (and you can see that by that "All OK" box), all did go well!

The next one I will not include frosting Well, you got a big cake before that though, so you must be quite full already. Too much cake ain’t healthy. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Anyway, I really like you playing along, testing the system. I hope you like it. Anything particular you would like to see? Something that really is missing? I believe you got back and withdrew what you initially send, so that is all good huh? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm quite busy working on password for the whole account right now (locking the withdraw address is in place already). You can set and update the password, but I need to add so you have to type it to actually access your profile. And next I will post a promo, inviting a few people so we can really test with a lot more of people. Which also means bigger "cakes" (wins). ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Here is an interesting cake: http://www.btccake.com/cake/52ce07f4d18b0e5a71a02e80af8c2a9fc5e3fd3732551431d7976825cd5263fcIf you calculate and ignore the last bet, wedge 2 (gordoh) would have won. But, because there was a new user betting at the end, wedge 1 won... Sorry gordoh. Bad luck. I wish everybody could win. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) But it shows how things can change. And more importantly, that so far everything works very well. I double checked and payments and all is fine.

Alright, gotta love linux. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Automatic backups are now in place! Both for the wallet and database! And, I've setup so it automatically sends the backup to my email. This way, I also have a backup "in the cloud". Also, not only is the wallet encrypted, the zipped backup is also locked with a password. Hey, can't be paranoid enough eh? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) And yes, I've tested to unpack it, and it works. Backups are done and are send to my email every day! This is how serious I am about this. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I sure as hell don't want to loose anyone’s data. And, because zipped data is password protected, it will not be easy to access even if someone got the backups.

Yet another cake that went well: http://www.btccake.com/cake/09a7ff8b77934d05dccabf972f175472233285882ba918e6e2095003402948b7The amount in the tables there doesn't take into account that if the total to give to winners is less than 0.001, no fee is taken! In this case the total ended up to 0.00029000. I might increase that to 0.01 or so later actually. But anyway, that is why the winners got it all and the amount in the tables under the Wedges and "All bets" tabs are a bit less than what you actually got.

Alright, I just put the account lockdown live! If you have set a password for your account, and go to your profile you will be greeted by this now: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi60.tinypic.com%2F2ugdovp.jpg&t=665&c=xVonjvYd9aCenw) I love it because this really locks down your account even further. And, when time is up for that cookie you set there, you have to login again. Even if you happen to have that profile page open and try to do stuff, if time is up, I've put checks in place on server side, so you can't do anything before you login again! (Note that "Forgot Password" doesn't work at the moment, so if you do have problems, message me and I can help you out. For this to work later on though, you would need an email set too)

Since I'm back at my regular day job, development will be slowing down somewhat during the weekdays. Don't worry though, its quite robust as is so far, and I continue work on this whenever I can. I just wanted to notify you guys. This is something I really want to take off and be something I can work on more but I'm not there yet where this supports me.

Alright, yet some more minor updates done. I added http://www.btccake.com/security that explains some precautions and security measures I do. Feel free to give me feedback on it. Also, this one is funny: http://www.btccake.com/cake/192dbc8d5103c86fbdd29fc39dfa8df507a409520aaf51dac672f0b9e39fd6c7 and shows how things can change and how fair it is. One bet was made on wedge 1 at 0.00000643. Then I did a bet on wedge 2 at 0.00100000 which gave me 99% chance of winning. Then, gordoh comes in and puts a bet on wedge 1 at 0.00100000 giving wedge 1 the lead. Now, what is fun here is that this bet basically helps the user that had basically very low chance of winning now a larger chance of winning. gordoh will take the most, but it will be shared equally: Currently wedge 1 has a 50.2% chance of winning. Wedge 2 49.8%. And, if wedge 1 wins it will be a fair split: GordoH 2014-09-10 08:59:47 0.00100000 rnO6tsm1 99.36% 0.00098367 0.00198367 User.V2GJ7 2014-09-09 07:45:37 0.00000643 WXyoJiIG 0.64% 0.00000633 0.00001276
Cool huh? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Edit: Maybe I should post these updates on twitter instead... although this is more than 140 characters... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Yet another update. I updated the result information: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi61.tinypic.com%2F2usk703.jpg&t=665&c=NQ4Zxb1pIRqIuw) Note the "Times of initial bet". I might rephrase that later, but anyway. It shows how many times your bet you get if you win. Also note that this value is the same for everybody on the same wedge. Why? Because this is how fair this game is. You can now also create private cakes. More on that later...

Meh, site is experiencing some issues, and I can't do anything about it for a few hours... I think there might be a bug with not closing connections properly, which is why when enough connect it adds up and it doesn't have more "file handles" left. I'm working on replacing the long-poll I have now with socket.io. Hopefully will this get rid of the bug AND make chatting a great reliable experience!
Sorry about that guys!

Yea, I will! As soon as I get home! I can enable SSH or whatever, but in a way I like it so closed down because that also means hackers will also have it difficult... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Also, you might get a page there and notice it's kinda old. It's because it's a cached page from cloudflare. So, basically just ignore that.

Yea, I'm really sorry about it guys. I wish I didn't have to be at this day job, and I could have fixed it by now... I will be back in about 3-4 hours so it should be back up then! Don't worry about your bitcoins or cakes though. It's there. It's just the server having too many connections open, and can't accept more. Some stupid bug somewhere...
