Good idea. Baccarat is a favorite of the coveted "asian whale", you'll just need to raise limits to 30kusd a hand....  Grin

Hope to raise the limit there one day. I still need to solve the block dumping problem without introducing private keys.

I thought about that too, but for anyone to do that even remotely effectively is to have a large amount of hashing power.

The final maximum will probably be much less than 25 which makes dumping blocks not worthwhile.
For now, bets over the maximum will be manually refunded.

BitBaccarat.net - Bitcoin Baccarat - Raised Maximum

http://BitBaccarat.net

How to play:
Send coins to one or more of the listed addresses.
Minimum: 0.01  Maximum: 0.5  (will raise in the future)
The game runs once every block. Only bets included in the block are valid.
The address you send from must be able to receive coins. (eg. any standard bitcoin client or derivatives would work)

Payouts:
Banker 0.95:1
Player 1:1
Tie 8:1 (Banker and Player bets push on ties)
Your original bet will be sent back with the winnings
Payouts will be sent within 2 minutes of new block.

How cards are generated:
Take a block hash:  (this is from 218964)
000000000000034b54a7289452c0d2ad4872c71ecbd2dc8535bbc3ab047e3fc9
Split it from the right into 3 byte blocks
000000000000034b54a7289452c0 d2ad48 72c71e cbd2dc 8535bb c3ab04 7e3fc9
Take the 6 blocks from the right and reverse the order
7e3fc9 c3ab04 8535bb cbd2dc 72c71e d2ad48
Convert it from hex to decimal
8273865 12823300 8730043 13357788 7522078 13806920
Take each number and mod 52
41 48 23 28 18 36
Map each number to a card value
0-12 maps to A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K, then repeats

3 10 10 3 6 10
Use cards in order (1st and 3rd card goes to player, 2nd and 4th to banker) and play baccarat
Player: 3 10 | 10 3 :Banker
Follow baccarat rules and hit both hands
Player: 6 -> 3 10 | 10 3 <- 10 :Banker
Player wins 9 over 3

FAQ:
Q: Where are the private keys and hashes?
A: No private keys are used in card generation as everything is generated from the block hash

Q: Are you the admin of this site?
A: Yes

Q: Can i bet on multiple positions?
A: Yes, Just like real baccarat, you can bet on any combination of banker, player, and tie or all three.

BitRoulette.net - No Deposit - Next Block Payouts
by
louis_net
on 29/01/2013, 05:31:08 UTC

http://bitroulette.net

How to bet:
Send your bet to the address on the website.
Min Bet: No minimum.  Max Bet: 0.01
Bets over the max will need to be manually refunded.
WARNING: The address you send bitcoins from must be able to receive bitcoins. Standard bitcoin client and derivatives support this.

How it works:
The wheel spins once every block.
Betting transactions in the block are processed for winning bets.
Payouts are sent and should be included in the next block.

How numbers are generated:
[Timestamp of block] % 38
% is the mod operation
Resulting numbers: 37 corresponds to 00. All other numbers correspond to themselves.

FAQ:
Q: How do I bet on splits or corners?
A: Since there is no minimum, you can bet a lower amount on all the numbers that would be covered by the split or corner.
For example:
0.01 on 1, 0.01 on 2 would win result in a payout of 0.36(35:1*0.01 + your bet) if either hits
0.02 on 1|2 split would result in a payout of 0.35(17:1*0.02 + your bet) if either hits

I don't want to help the water-cooling guy, but he is so clueless I can't help myself.  You do know that all your water-cooled rigs are actually air cooled, right?  I mean, the water goes through a radiator where a fan cools it off before being recirculated.  The increase in room air temperature is the same whether your farm is cooled with air or water.  If you spent more time thinking and less posting, you probably could have figured this out.  Where did you think the generated heat went?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_law_of_thermodynamics

what if you store 2 metric tons of water in your back yard, and use the sheer volume of water to keep the temperatures down

Water is a huge sink, and 2 metric tons is not very much. You will still need active cooling on the reservoir.

well enough water to last you through the day, just let it passively cool at night
(i live in an area where night times get pretty cold)
