Congratulations to the winner of the 5 number's combo, and to all the others!

I am receiving some feedback through bitmessage, but I see that there are very few posts here in this thread, is it because bitcointalk people are used to web interface? This game can't run on web for how is it designed...

Anyway I hope that people playing are having fun: today six months are passed since this game got out of beta version.

Recent studies found out that purchasing lottery tickets in the right way (a consumption good, not an investment) can be a completely rational and correct decision. So while you are still throwing away money when buying a lottery ticket, you are throwing away more in strictly economic terms when you buy an expensive bottle of wine or a luxury car.

Thinking of how would you live your life if you win the high prizes can help you focus on thinking how to improve your life. Of course nobody should spend on lottery tickets money that they can't afford to lose. If you have a gambling problem, it's a terrible idea.

"Fantasizing about what you would do if you suddenly encountered great wealth is fun, and it is more fun if there some chance, however minuscule, that it could happen. The price for a ticket is a relatively small one to pay for the enjoyment of thinking through how you might organize your life differently if you had the prize".

Time to head to install bitmessage and play!

I am wondering about some details, on how to improve the game understanding.

Do you think that using only "bits" instead of BTC, mBTC and uBTC would make all things simpler?

1 bit = 0.000001 bitcoin

so, playing a combo would cost 10 bits, and the typical prizes would be:

3 points 537.02 bits
4 points prize 23897.61 bits
5 points prize 1109744.89 bits
6 points prize 34334139.96 bits

Any input is appreciated!

[boiledcat]

Is there anyone interested in a "testnet" version (for developing automatic betting systems and/or bots)?
If there is interest in this topic, in the next few days I will work on it.

[boiledcat]

The units have been converted in "bits". There are no changes in the game, it's only a different way to display numbers.

1 bit = 0.000001 BTC = 10 Satoshi.

You can play one combo with 10 bits. Prizes are on average between 500,00 and 35,000,000.00 bits.

Here is the new output:

Prizes for the last round [ 3437 ]:
3 points: 568.97 bits for 1283 combos
4 points: 23898.8 bits for 28 combos
5 points: 1627499.6 bits for 0 combos
6 points: 34820806.57 bits for 0 combos

The total prizes for the new round [ 3438 ] are:
3 points: 769999.86 bits
4 points: 705833.27 bits
5 points: 2204999.46 bits
6 points: 35334139.84 bits

--- --- --- --- ---

The average amount of the last 10 wins for each category is:
3 points: 674.35 bits (67 x)
4 points: 27989.46 bits (2798 x)
5 points: 1109744.89 bits (110974 x)
6 points: 35334139.84 bits (3533413 x)

--- --- --- --- ---

Total prizes paid this round: 1399154.91 bits
Total prizes paid ever: 135036596.15 bits

"Prizes for the last round" represent the total prizes of the round which is just finished, divided by the number of winning combos for each category.
"Total prizes for the new round" represent the total prizes for each category of the newly opened round.
"Average amount of the last 10 wins" is just an average of the value of the prize for a single winning combo, for each category.

Have fun! :-)

I am using btc-flow.com (the free plan) to get a few bits, and I use them to play at Bitcoin Galore for free, hunting for the 35 million bits prize!

[boiledcat]

With Bitcoin Core 0.10 and other modern wallets, transaction fees can get as low as 3 bits, making it affordable to play even a very small number of combos.
