Welcome to the inaugural Particl March Madness Bracket Pickem contest!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the annual American college basketball tournament, it's like this:

There are 64 teams to start the tournament, you pick which team you think will win each game. It's is more or less pure gambling, some people can have more knowledge than others but the vast majority of people that enter these things are doing it purely for fun. Even a professional sports better would have a very small edge at best.

50 part per bracket, you can enter as many bracket as you like.

Payouts will depend on number of entries but we will probably do something like 1st = 60% 2nd = 30% 3rd = 10%. If we don't get many entries then we can make it winner-take-all. I will announce payout structure before the first round games.

Steps to enter:
1. Join the group here: https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/group/13808/invitation?key=fd406f13cd038dc2      
 
2. select your teams (you can edit it any time before the first games of the tournament)

3. Either enter trustlessly using the Particl Desktop Marketplace. The Listing to enter  looks like this: https://i.gyazo.com/ee45393a510da0dfa9e93a22920a286e.png
 OR Send 50 PART for each entry to one of the following addresses:

4. pm me on discord, telegram or here on btctalk your yahoo bracket name and proof of funds being sent (blockexplorer link preferably). anyone that doesn't pay before the tournaments starts will have their brackets removed.

Thanks and best of luck!

first!

love this project. have been following it closely for years now. very much looking forward to seeing it organically grow and become an internet game-changer like torrents and bitcoin were prior to this.

What safeguards does the platform have in place to combat collusion among players? This is hard to deal with on centralized platforms such as pokerstars, let alone decentralized platforms...

Care to explain?

Sorry to hear that.

Can we get a preview of the white paper?

the complete lack of github activity isn't exactly instilling confidence... Is there development going on?

how comfortable would you be buying nexus at this price?

bump:

I updated to latest version and it's showing an incorrect balance and both bots aren't communicating with me, both giving me this error...
"Error: Socket Closed"

Any idea what I should do to fix this?

hey guys,

having an issue with my byteball wallet; it's not showing the correct balance.
here is my wallet in explorer: https://explorer.byteball.org/#TLQ2O3BSKSVYWUWANMBH5TUBQQ4ZPO4Z

showing: 7,810,942,396 bytes

Wallet is showing 5,793,626,386 bytes

All the bytes/blackbytes from the last distribution round never showed up in my wallet but showed up on the explorer.
So, I tried updating wallet to latest version and it's still showing same balance but now both bots aren't communicating with me, both giving me this error...
"Error: Socket Closed"

Any idea what I should do to fix this?

Just happened again... Sam are you doing this to process the withdraw manually?

Update: Yes, this was the case. Thank you Sam.

Update 2: Was able to withdraw over 600XMR. SafeDice came through! Thanks again.

My 2FA keeps going from active to disabled, and I haven't touched a thing. I keep having to reactivate it. What's the deal?

to me
Hello Rick,

Just to give you heads up on this matter, there was an update on monero which cause our server to reject the transaction. I didn't notice this because this only happen to some transaction and our monero server was running smoothly.

I deeply apologize for the matter and my delay in resolving this issue.

I have manually confirm your transaction. Your coin will arrive as soon as our server gets updated, I'll also put some more coin to your account as a compensation for your trouble.

Sincerely,
Sam

Woot! Received

Admin,

Are you actively looking into my XMR deposit issues? I sent multiple emails and PM's already. Everything was sent correctly, confirmed by blockchain, yet my account shows no history of the deposit/balance. What's the deal?

My balance is still showing up as zero on safedice. the history says no deposit has come, but I'm 100% sure the address and payment ID I sent to were correct.  can you look into this? I sent you an email also but no response.

Thank you eaLITY,

I will continue to wait patiently for support to show up and resolve the matter. I sent an email but no response yet.

Mod, you need to come and explain what's going on here. I deposited a very significant amount of XMR that isn't showing up in my balance. We deserve to have some answers.

customer support... Where are you guys? (it's easter sunday so I'll cut ya some slack for now)

Having some XMR deposit issues. I sent you a PM, can you help me out admin?
