https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88961.0The largest confirmed transaction into the pot from now until we reach the Ending Block# 188000 wins all the Bitcoins deposited into the wallet!
(Minus the Kickback Pot and my take)
It is that simple, Guys. It is an
All-Pay Auction with an early bidder incentive.
Auction Rules- The Jackpot is 90% of the total amount deposited into the wallet.
- The Kickback Pot is 5% of the total amount deposited into the wallet.
- My take is 5%.
- There is no maximum bet size, so bet as much and as often as you like.
- All payouts will go to the same address the transfer came from approximately 24 hours after Block #188001.
- Any transfers into this wallet after the Ending Block will be considered a donation.
Kickback Pot Rules-Each bet has a chance of getting shares.
-Shares per bet is (Bet Block - Ending Block)
-Each share is worth (Kickback Pot)/(Total Shares)
- The following 3 criteria must me met to receive shares of the Kickback pot:
- 1. The bet doesn't win the Auction.
- 2. It was the highest bet included in a block prior to the Ending Block.
- 3. Ensuing block has a higher bet.
Winning and payout Example:Player A Bets: 10 BTC Included in Block 187100
Player B Bets: 20 BTC Included in Block 187300
Player C Bets: 30 BTC Included in Block 187300
Player D Bets: 40 BTC Included in Block 188000
Total Deposits= 100 BTC
Kickback Pot = 5 BTC
Total Shares = 1600
The Winner would be Person D.
Player D gets 90 BTC
Player A gets 2.8125 BTC (900 shares x 0.003125)
Player C gets 2.1875 BTC (700 shares x 0.003125)
Player B gets 0 BTC (outbid in same block)
