Still a problem: it could take months or even years going at level 6-7 with the timer you chose. why not get smallest timer for first steps?

Well we chose to do it like this at start in order to let players try and see and keep the game going even if only few player try it at start. Game have an interest.

Also at start jackpot is not big enough to attract a lot of players so we think the jackpot amount / time ratio is good to let time to first players to try it.

It allow the game to potentially deliver a big jackpot even if it is in a long time, still all along jackpot have an interest to be attempted early even if it is still quit small 55000+ tron for a 40 tron participation you will win a part back if you lose is I think acceptable. It keep the game attractive even with few players at start.

So is this just a gameified Ponzi scheme or what? Pretty much seems like a multi-level marketing scheme with a game element to it.

That said, the gameplay does actually look fun, though I doubt the game will pick up the momentum to deliver the jackpot rewards you've got in your ANN post.

Can you tell us how many users you currently have?

Well it is the other way around a jackpot game in which you can win back your money or even more if you lost early. The goal here is to reward first players that attempt the jackpot but didn't make it. It will also allow them to play again without paying full price if they want too.

It is kind of a rake back we wanted to create : you lost but you help the jackpot getting bigger by trying to win so it will attract new players so you get a reward for it.

As much as you had bet early and help the jackpot grow as much as you get back. A reward for early adopters even if they lose they believe in the contract, so the contract reward them.

We also think it allow players that think it gonna go far ( as elmuria think for example ) to bet some money early as it will help the jackpot get bigger tho it will attract more players and he could still play the game later with the money he will win by attracting new players in it and so on.
But it is a bet, not an investment there no guarantee returns and return only depend on how much players will play after you. So if you think it is attractive enough for players to go far you can play it this way.
Yet it is not the main goal, the main goal is to win the jackpot. We could see this as a side game : you can win money with it but always less than playing only the jackpot.

Finally we think it is a great mechanism to attract new player while keeping older players involved in the game. It will help players more easily talk about it even if they lost as they kind of still playing the game.

For the moment we only had 37 unique users but some had already play several times you can watch our stats on dapp radar [here]https://dappradar.com/tron/650/maddof-s-game. It just started so it is not big but it keep growing.

Jackpot is currently at 55 024 Tron and keep growing ! I hope the momentum will come with the jackpot getting bigger giving more momentum and so on. But could take more or less time we don't know.

Would you like to try it ?
