BitCrate - break crates, get free Bitcoins

[Kluge]

I heartily approve of this service and have added it to my ever-growing list of ways to recoup tx fees.

LOL, that's a good way to look at it.

That is so perfect in so many ways.

0.002 Rupees - Not too shabby

I will probably start working on an advertising system very soon with pay per click, impression and day models.

If there is demand, that is.


Payments out, this time I didn't screw up the transaction fee. I really need to rethink how the site is funded if I want to keep it up long-term.

I am not certain, but demand MAY increase if you pay out more than half of a penny. Just a guess.

We've missed you, Sherlock!

He pays as much as he sees fit/can afford/wants to. If you don't like it, you're not forced to partake.

I just added a rarer prize.
The point is that I can't just pay out bitcoins indefinitely if I don't get any back, and running out of bitcoins during the first week and having to close down doesn't exactly fit in my plans.

I think you might have a bug. When I break a crate, the page telling me the amount says that I need at least 0.0025btc before it's paid out.
After trying it two times, I received each 0.001btc I won to the same address in two transfers.
Perhaps you can add an option so that a user can check his current balance and request a transfer if a certain minimum is reached?
I would not mind leaving the coins I won in your care until I request them

Oops, I don't have such a limitation at place at the moment. Removing the incorrect text.

First round of prizes have been paid out!

Looks like it added a whopping fee of 0.602 BTC against my wishes. I'll most definitely go bankrupt soon at this rate.

I just read something that I hadn't known about -- from the Bitcoin Wiki:

As of bitcoin 0.5.3 the required fee it will ask for will not be higher than 0.05 BTC,

I solved the transaction fee problem. Apparently settxfee() sets the transaction fee per kB, not per transaction.

Transaction fees are not really important at the moment, as miners will accept pretty much anything, no matter how low transaction fee it has.

be careful on that. I've had a 0.7BTC transaction take 2 weeks to complete through only spending 0.0001 as a tx fee when the satoshi client wanted 0.025.

So. I figured (off using a .001BTC winning) that I could make ~$.15/month playing every day.

If I deposit with Pirate (+ middleman fees) each month @ 28% (and we exclude the first month), then after the first year of depositing with Pirate, I would have $12.58.

Next year, still including the $.15/month, I would have $255.91.

The year after that.... $4,962.60

.... The year after that.... $96,003.22

... Year after that.... $1,856,984.92


Yep, using BitCrate, in 5 years, you can be a millionaire. Dare to dream.

(P.S. next year, you'd have $36m)

and pirate would have a new boat

The small milestone of 1,000 broken crates has been reached.

Hey it is saying that i am using a proxy even tho i am not what the hell is up with that

what info do you need to fix this

[Gabriellz9]

I've been having the same issue as Kingkatari for quite some days now. On two different computers (2 different IPs), on both Chrome and IE.

[uuidman]

Same proxy issue here, a bug I guess. Never ever any problems with that.
