Ha, yeah.

I just played your game a little with the 2 free bits per hour you give away.

It's a fun game - well done for getting away from the 'dice' thing.

Some comments:

1) don't link to the strategy guide before (to the left of) the FAQ. It made me read the strategy guide before I had any idea what the game was. The first thing it told me was "1% of the time you lose no matter what". That's not the first thing you want new people to see.

2) Get someone to proof read your text. It's full of errors. Also, I don't mean to be rude, but it's pretty hard going getting through it, and I'm a geek myself. I can't offer specific suggestions about how it could be better, but I do recognise that it sucks. I figure most people aren't geeky enough to get more than part way through the text, and the ones who are will be put off by the errors.

3) The site isn't really provably fair. Each "game" you pick how far the multiplier is going to go before the game crashes. You provide a hash of that number, so we can be sure you picked it in advance. But we can't be sure you picked it fairly. Maybe 20% of the time you pick that the game is going to crash immediately. Maybe you pick that it's going to crash before 2x when someone is better high on 2x a lot. Properly provably fair sites allow the players to provide input to the "shuffle" so the site can't deliberately pick bad outcomes. It's good for the house when the multiplier at which the game crashes is low, and there's no way we can tell that you're not making it be low too much of the time (other than by doing a statistical analysis - but that's not probably fair, it's statistically fair or something). To fix it, you need to take a client seed from each player, and include that in a hash that determines the multiplier. And even then it's only fair if I know that none of the players are house stooges - otherwise the stooge can provide just the right seed to make the game crash early.

4) It's annoying to me when I'm playing at 2.01x, the other guy is playing at 2%, and we have to sit there watching the multiplier go up to 97x. OK, so we could have aimed higher, but who cares? When everyone bails, the game should stop. Tell us how high it was going, but don't make us watch it.

5) I won a bunch of bonuses for being last to bail, but the bonuses weren't added to my bankroll until I reloaded the site I think.

6) If I have "auto bet" enabled and I lose so much that I can't afford to play any more, I get a javascript:alert() telling me something ugly like NOT_ENOUGH_MONEY, but you don't uncheck the auto bet checkbox, so it keeps on trying. I can't uncheck it either, and end up having to close the browser tab. Just uncheck auto-bet when I'm out of coins.

7) Sometimes I've checked 'auto-cashout', but while the game is running I decide I don't want to cash-out at 2x, I want to go higher. Let me click to cancel the auto-cashout. The big button I usually click to buy-in, and again to bail should change to 'cancel auto-cashout' while auto-cashout is active, so I can switch back to "manual" mode on the fly.

eight) How provably fair is it really when the result of the game depends on timing? A few times I clicked to bail out just before the game crashed, but the message didn't get to the server on time (or did it?

) and I lost. Anything involving timing like that isn't really provably fair - I just have to trust you not to cheat me by pretending you didn't get the 'bail' message in time.

9) Probably the wrong thread, sorry. But I expect you'll see it anyway.
