Thanks all for testing the site, I really appreciate it.

Yes, there must be 6 confirmations before txs will show up.

I've added a message on the site making this more clear.

The site is in active development so please let me know here if there are any more issues.

Guys, I'm a bit confused on the whole concept.
The nth person who places n (highest amount) number of btc till it reaches current block+ 144, will be the person who takes part of the pot or the whole winnings?

And when everything is transparent on the Blockchain, won't the players know all the bets by checking each of the addresses on the list? Or am I missing something?

If there are 3 people playing a game with 2 winners, and they bet 10k, 15k, and 12k satoshi, then the 15k and 12k betters will each win.

The total in the pot is 37k, so the total winnings will be 98% of that, which is 36260 sat.

So the 15k and 12k betters will each receive 18130 satoshi.


Yes, everything is transparent. This is intentional, otherwise it would not be possible to check the host is behaving correctly.


This is a great idea, thank you so much. I will add this to the game page now.

That's a lot, usually 1 is enough for small amounts.
Follow-up question: what happens if a transaction is added right before the deadline? Does it wait for 6 confirmations and still count it?

My game with 2 players is an instant win for BitcoinGirl.Club now. A 2-person game with 2 winners was a bad idea.

That would be ideal, yes. But I'm not skilled a developer enough to add this feature yet, it would take a lot of work to process reorganisations if there is a small fork in the chain.


It is counted if the transaction makes it into a block before or equal to the deadline height. The the deadline is reset to 144 blocks later (or whatever you configured the game for).


It is configured at the start of the game, the person who sets up the game decides this.


The platform still takes 2%. I can configure this to take out only a withdrawal fee, I guess.

You should also arrange with the players in the game to play before the game starts.


The person who creates the game must provide the payout address for each player.

Then the betting address for each player will be displayed on the game page.


Yes, that is correct. The betting address is the same, and each new bet is added to the previous total bet.


Heh, yeah, 2-person game with 2 winners is kind of pointless.

Review

I really dislike giving negative reviews when I know that somebody that cares about the product they are making is on the receiving end of it - and I feel that's the case here.
However, I hope you will understand that the intention of the review is to give you sincere input and some ideas on how to make the game better.

First of all - the rules have to be described better. Maybe use some examples, or make a 1-minute youtube video. Before creating the game, I did not know how it works at all - so if I just wanted to join somebody's game I would not know where to start.
I still don't know if it is possible to join somebody else's game if my wallet address is not defined when the game is created - and if that's the case, then it's something that should be added.
The distribution of the rewards in case of multiple winners should be explained as well - is it a percentage of the bet or just 1/3 of the amount wagered, and in that case 1st and 3rd place pay out the same. In that way it is even possible to win the competition, and end up with a loss.

If I'm playing a game, the experience should be way smoother. In the current state I'd have to collect people's addresses before creating a game which is kinda pointless - the game should allow me to join whichever open game is currently available.
Again - if that is currently possible that is great - but the site does not tell me that I can or how can I.

The biggest issue I'm having is that it should be a wagering game, where I bet against someone else for profit. I should not know how much he wagered - because then I can always react later and easily bot the system so it always shows me the ideal bet to place.
6 blocks confirmation is also something that should be lowered.

I feel this is in an early stage and many issues need to be changed/revised if the game has a chance to have a future.

I do like the simplicity of the webpage though - to finish it up with 1 positive.

How do I join? I even tried to join Bot's game number 22. There are no button, no input box, nothing LOL
Someone please explain.

Edit: Let's see if I get it correct.
I see game 22 has my address. So it's between me and Bot.
So it needs to send btc to bc1qyhcndnuufr92dtl6gvxdctf3ctcyu0nfq6kzp3

Assuming bc1q5gz6c5u3c8p6e6mtgnq0gxre9mkrgvav3n0q4g is Bot's address. According to the rules, we will share half of the money (of total).

Does it means I will get 0.00004900 BTC even without sending any BTC?

Shall I wait? 🤣
Don't worry I will send you if anything arrives in my address. Let's test what happens.

Or I will need to send any amount of BTC to share the prize? I will send a fraction of BTC which will be just enough to make a transaction 😉

Let's have some fun then LOL

But I am going to use the address given for me. So that you don't tell people I did not send anything 😉

Edit:
Which means we need to wait long time what will happen if the deadline block resolves before my transaction confirms?

To be honest this game has too many weaknesses to abuse.
