Can you rework how the prize amount is displayed on the site? Before the May draw closed the site had 490+ btc total prize amount. This amount was incorrect and should not have been displayed.

For those that don't recall, the discrepancy is from the 25+ btc that was returned.

The site currently displays the total btc received as the prize amount. It should display (total received) - (total sent) = (prize amount)
The site uses a php script to display the total. As soon, as the refund was given, the script was updated to reflect a more accurate total. (The amount was taken off like you suggested above) For some reason while updating the site, an older copy must have slipped in.

I will investigate and take extra care so it doesn't happen again. Luckily it was only off by 25 and for a short period. But, I do agree, it should be accurate. Thanks.

...are you aware how long it showed an extra 25 BTC?


N.Olmos: Did you happen to see the value showing on satoshidice at the same time?

Edit: it could have been an issue with the data I was caching or an error from blockexplorer....
Hopefully no one makes another error payment for years to come! Wink
