Yup, we should make our own - with much less risk for players, but still a good chance to win (meaning - “we” don’t keep as much profits, but give most of it back to players). What we actually earn, we can direct to regular lottery winnings or something like gifts for newcomers…
[/quote]bitpotato.com has a much more fair consolation system, we should get them to accept FTC. They only accept LTC at the moment.
[/quote]If you read what sp495 linked on here then you would know the truth, a quick summery:
[quote]Thermite Grenade 2x Multi and 45% interest.
Price Purchaser Profit Site Proft

10 4.5 .5
20 9 1
40 18 2
80 36 4
160 72 8
320 144 16
640 288 32
1280 576 64
2560 1152 128
EXPLODES
Total site profit: 255.5
Consolation of 5% of purchase price: 2560 * 0.05 = 128Actual site profit: 255.5 - 128 = 127.5
Meanwhile sites like BitPotatoe give you 45-50% of “When the timer expires the last owner recieves a percent of all the round’s profits”
Which in this case would be 50% of 255.5 OR 127.75 .
In other words…the same.[/quote]

I see, I thought bitpotato paid a flat consolation like bitgrenade…

What if there was some sort of jackpot which randomly paid out a certain percentage to a few people when they bought a grenade and the chances to get extra coins increased the higher the price of the grenade got.

…annnnnd it’s done! Goodbye, bitgrenade.net.
Thanks for the many memories, some of them fond, but really you won’t be missed.
Good bye and good riddance.

[/quote]Onward and upward my friend. If they want to innovate, they’ve got a built in user base that I’m sure would be interested in playing again.

I made one last buy as a farewell under the name “BitGrenade”. So, the result (if no one buys) should be fitting in 8 hours.
Sad. Was fun.
