[size=14pt][b]About:[/b][/size]
You can play Hot Potato with Feathercoins [url=http://bitgrenade.net/?coin_display=11]here[/url], the site features 4 grenades that you can buy. In order to make profit you have to buy a grenade and then someone else has to buy it off you, if that happens you make the amount shown as profit to the right of the original price. You have to keep an eye on the two timers. The timers will be explained fully below.[size=14pt][b]How To Play:[/b][/size]
First of all you need to buy yourself a grenade by entering your RECEIVING address (an address the site can pay you to) and optionally enter your name. After you filled in the fields select a grenade you would like. When buying grenade make sure to think about if people will buy it after you, if you have doubts don’t buy it or do it and gamble if you’re feeling lucky! The price of a grenade is determined by the previous price times by the multiplier, currently the highest multiplier potato is the “Potato Masher”, the price increases by x1.6 each purchase. Remember you can buy grenades from yourself which usually increases your profit if someone buys the last grenade you hold but kills the fun.[size=14pt][b]Buying your first grenade:[/b][/size]
Now that you are sorted, select a grenade by clicking “Jump on this grenade!”. The timer will then change to 10 minutes, this is the time to send your payment to the website and for them to receive it (doesn’t need any confirmations, just payment sent icon/notification). There will be a unique Feathercoin address shown to which you have to send an exact amount to, remember to not include the transaction fee in the total amount that is being sent, transaction fee will be added additionally (more info below). When I buy a grenade with a 0.03 fee it usually takes 20-30 seconds for me to own the grenade after I click “send” from my wallet.
[size=14pt][b]Things to consider:[/b][/size]
A very important thing to keep in mind is a transaction fee! When sending a payment you have 10 minutes for it to arrive at the site otherwise your money is lost (unless you contact them by e-mail at bitgrenade@gmail.com). Always make sure you have a 0.01 fee but I suggest 0.02 or 0.03 (especially for transactions above 100 FTC).
When sending money ensure that you send the exact amount that the grenade is. Don’t include the fee in the amount being sent, the fee will be added to the total amount sent. Okay, now that the website received your payment you will see that the clock reset to 8 hours. The timer shows the time remaining until the grenade exploded, if it does explode then you loose the last amount you payed for the grenade and receive a 5% consolation prize. To prevent it exploding you need someone to buy it from you, when someone does that you receive your initial payment and the number stated under “Profit” section. You should receive your winnings from ranging from 1h to 12h.
[size=14pt][b]Please remember / disclaimer:[/b][/size]
As you know this is gambling, you might win or not. Please never bet more then you can afford to loose. I, nor the owner of the site are not responsible for coins that you could loose. Any other questions, please pm me.[i][color=blue][size=15pt][b]Good Luck & Have Fun![/b][/size][/color][/i]

I tried this out. Tried jumping on the most expensive grenade. I sent 176.18 and it stated that there was a time limit to receive it. The time limit expired and it still says that somebody can buy for 176.18…does it normally do this? Should I contact them about it?
[/quote]Yes you should, you have to ensure that you put down at least 0.02 or 0.03 fee so that it goes through in time. If the people over there say that it’s gone then that would really suck! :/ And I’m currently holding the potato musher too! :/
For me takes around 30 secs to be approved and updated.
E-mail them here ASAP: bitgrenade@gmail.com

Great. Hopefully I don’t lose 176 ftc.
[/quote]That would really suck ass, have you e-mailed them? And what fee did you do?

[quote name=“wesphily” post=“10150” timestamp=“1370541443”]
I adjusted everything and made it work the second time. I really do hope I can get my first try back. Don’t have much ftc to start with :(
[/quote]Just ask them for a refund, if they don’t send to you / don’t reply within 3 days I will write to them.
BTW a bit brave going for that Potato masher, hopefully someone will buy it :)

I just bought the Flashbang! I’ve got a whole lot more FTC to spend to…

[/quote]Don’t go too far into the wild with it, don’t think many people will buy now. Wait till it resets ;)
-
This is going to be a lot more fun when more people become aware of it.
-
So far made 110 FTC in total profit :3

Potato Masher is exploding in 30 minutes! Who’s buying for profit?! :D

[/quote]Hmm…how long do I have to wait for payout? It doesn’t say anything…
[/quote]Around 2-6h on average I’d say.

Nice one.

Oops didn’t read at first about the Fee, 37FTC gone into the abyss.
If you indeed set a fee payments will go quicker (a lot). -

others have had luck getting their lost FTC back just by emailing the site, worth a shot -
