The new MyEtherwallet.com is released now. Sending ETH to contracts is now easier than ever!

In fact, you can now generate a special link that has the destination address and gas limits preprogrammed.

Here is an example for the Wealth Distribution Experiment:
https://www.myetherwallet.com/?gaslimit=200000&to=0x3325439082FF8ba7371DFdAa1AF297bBfcAc21b2&value=1#send-transaction

Now that 'normal people' can play these games too, I expect things to accelerate.

This is still the 7th most popular verified contract on etherscan with 617 transactions.

Thanks for that info. I need to get more active on here. It is key that the new image be displayed in the OP.

As promised:

Why are there so many different verified WavesPresale contracts on the blockchain?  

http://etherscan.io/contractsVerified?sort=txcount&order=desc

Will the real waves contract please stand up?

Images are ready.

Is there some minimum post requirement needed to be allowed to post images here?

When i use the bbcode img tags, it just shows a link.

testing it:

Besides this forum here are a few other places to list the contract:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereumprojects
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethdapps
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethdev
http://dapps.ethercasts.com/

There are also 15+ networks the banner can be listed on.

I recently discovered this page which lists all verified contracts on Etherscan. From here you can easily see which Ethereum Games are most active.

If you click on one of the addresses, you will be able to view the source code for that contract.


Just thought I'd point it out in case anyone has not seen it yet. Lots of great code examples if you are trying to learn.

Plus it's more fun when you see some action after every deposit.

Since this contract has no destroy function, nothing I can do will stop it. So if you think from now until the end of ETH, 40 more deposits will be made, then you could be profitable in this little experiment.

and if not, you get to play a role in understanding how Ethereum contracts work and it only costs you 1ETH plus gas minus whatever you get back from future depositors.

Improvements coming to the webpage this week and advertising banners. Now is the time to get in. Just4Fun

I was able to make everything work by using the most recent version of MyEtherWallet which has updates for setting gas limits:
https://github.com/kvhnuke/etherwallet/archive/mercury.zip

As soon as this new code live on MyEtherWallet.com it will be a lot easier for new people to come in, fund a wallet with shapeshift (back online horray!), and play a game.

I was doing some digging on the github to see if I could fix the problem in the normal send transaction window.

I was happy to discover that MyEtherWallet 2.0 is being worked on right now and has the ability to easily modify the gas limit on the regular send transaction page!

This will definitely make it easier for new people to get started.

You can download the in-progress 2.0 version of the new MyEtherWallet with the fixes from github:
https://github.com/kvhnuke/etherwallet/archive/mercury.zip

Here are the specific changes made related to sending transactions in case you are curious:
https://github.com/kvhnuke/etherwallet/commit/e67d85493cd29f065c6546c16fb51fb82f937282

These changes were literally made hours ago.

I tested this out and it works perfectly! Nice work MyEtherWallet devs!

So go into advanced, increase the GAS price  (to what value?) then go back to basic send transaction and send to the contract?

Someone should put this in screenshots to make it easier for new people to participate.

Also, is it possible to make necessary changes to the MyEtherWallet to detect a contract address vs regular address and auto adjust the gas accordingly in the basic transaction tab?

Part of the problem is that it's all the same people participating in these games.

One thing that can help bring more new people in is to have whatever changes are necessary to make myetherwallet.com work for sending to contracts.

Once this is easier to do it will be possible for the masses to come and play these games.

The only people that can play right now are those willing to figure out how to setup geth and download the full blockchain. need to lower the barrier of entry.

Shapeshift being back online will help too.

Nice job on the website. Feel free to send my share of the fees to:
0x2D621350C9f1e8B5312FD2F8C39050Fe36C37448

give it an upvote if you can.

Not the most popular, but definitely one of the unique ones is the ETH Wealth Redistribution Experiment
http://contractsjust4fun.github.io/WealthRedistributionExperiment/

On this one you see action in your wallet every time there is a deposit. no waiting hours or days to see a return.

Low 1 ETH risk, just for fun.

Yes, all UI self contained or pulled from cdn. The Ethereum node at the bottom becomes the server for the actual data.

does anyone know if there is some way to search for open nodes or some website api that can get open rpc node addresses?

would prefer not to have to hardcode a specific node into the page.

Nice work on the 0 Fee contract, it seems to be working properly.

Here is a Webpage User Interface that displays the stats for this contract:
https://github.com/ContractsJust4Fun/WealthRedistributionExperiment/blob/master/ZeroP.html

Download to your desktop and open in browser or someone can host it somewhere and send link to OP.

Also, I can't seem to post a screenshot, can someone help?

Here is a webpage that shows you all of the stats for this contract:
http://contractsjust4fun.github.io/WealthRedistributionExperiment/

It shows each address participating in the experiment, how much they've earned so far, and what their next payout will be.

re: 200 ETH limit, is that really true?
even if the gas costs more than 1 ETH, it will just take you longer to profit, but the contract will still split the 1 ETH across all addresses evenly. The webpage should help you better visualize the potential of this contract.

The contract seems to be working flawlessly. The 5th payment just came in and it split it .25 each to the previous 4 addresses.

See it on the blockchain:
http://etherscan.io/address/0x3325439082FF8ba7371DFdAa1AF297bBfcAc21b2#internaltx

One person tried to send .001 ETH and another person tried to sent 20ETH from a contract.
Both of these transactions were rejected and returned, the contract only will accept 1 ETH.

** Please keep in mind this contract is for educational and entertainment purposes only and was created to understand the limitations of ETH contracts. **

The way it works is very simple. Send 1 ETH to:
0x3325439082FF8ba7371DFdAa1AF297bBfcAc21b2

For each ETH that comes in, the contract will redistribute that wealth among everyone who has put in before that.

The only fees taken are the actual GAS fees by the ETH network.

NO FEES GO TO THE CONTRACT CREATOR WHATSOEVER!

By experimenting with this contract, any transaction fees you incur will be sent directly to the MINERS who are securing the ETH network.

Source Code For Contract so you can verify:

This webpage shows you all stats for this contract:
http://contractsjust4fun.github.io/WealthRedistributionExperiment/

---

To test the contract for yourself, load up Mist wallet and send 1 ETH to 0x3325439082FF8ba7371DFdAa1AF297bBfcAc21b2

Then send 1 ETH from a different address.

Watch as the first address receives some ETH from the second payment! Fun times!
Now you have 2 spots which will receive ETH every time someone after you sends a payment.

---

If people continue to experiment with this contract in the future, you could be collecting payments for years to come!


Part of the experiment is to see how many people we can get into the contract before the GAS becomes too expensive for this contract to run.

Feel good knowing all fees generated from this experiment go directly into the hands of the miners helping to secure the ETH network. Too many greedy contract creators on this forum.

Comments, questions, suggestions are all welcome.
