Play responsibly, set a budget beforehand.

I think more people would play if you don't have to commit 10k at once
And I thought first that the timer would not reset after you paid. So it would be hilarious to a lot of people trying to pay at the last second lol

Why... oh why did you have to play... I don't want to skip lunch... :)

Huh, someone else joined but the payout was reset to 10k. Should be 30k now, no?

0 sats \ 9 replies \ @south_korea_ln OP 19 Jun 2023
I think so... probably the payout arrived too late? I got the message I won only to get a message couple of seconds right after saying someone else joined.

By message I mean pop up message on my screen.

That was me, I think. Exactly as @ekzyis said, I thought the timer wouldn't reset, so tried to snipe the pot late on.

That's not a good look. Hope the dev will figure this out. I saw you sent a message in the group chat. Let me send your 10k sats back over your Stacker News address.

Oh, I noticed a similar problem just now. I have two tabs open with this webpage, timers were not in sync until i refreshed one of the tabs.

Hmm, refreshing? Sometimes the timer gets out of sync if the tab isn't in the foreground.

Thanks for sending back the sats even though it wasn't your fault, haha
I was ready to lose these 10k sats
Let's split

Haha, thanks. Sending sats back and forth, effortless, so much fun.

Hmmm... Sometimes the timer gets out of sync if a bid is detected while the tab isn't in the foreground.
Refresh when you reopen the tab to be safe.

Yeah, I thought so too the first time... I think the fun factor could be increased while keeping the spending/time factor down.

Yes, make it cheap and quick :) But the code is open source so anyone could do it

Cool idea for a website

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @02fa90fd41 19 Jun 2023
Im wary of things like this for 2 reasons:
- not open source
- Easily fixable to have your own bot pay something at the last second.
Not saying you would, but its something I wouldnt use.

- Looks FOSS to me (https://github.com/alexlwn123/lastpaywins).
- Correct. I also would not play this with anything else than limited play money. Anything where money is involved, people will have incentive to game the system.

Well of course it looks FOSS to you, you created it and know the link lol. I couldnt see anything on the website (but I only scanned).
I see it won at a hackathon. Congrats
reply
11 sats \ 0 replies \ @south_korea_ln OP 19 Jun 2023
I did not create it. I just posted it here after someone else here told me about it the other day. I saw it was FOSS from the message at the bottom of the page on https://www.lastpaywins.com/. I did spend too much time on this website today though, having noticed this detail.
The dev @alex_lewin is at the top of the comments here.

Just tried it out now with 10K sats...but I think unless I camp out all day @south_korea_ln will always take it...Great idea though!

Was about to go for lunch, so thank you for keeping it short. I probably should stop playing anyhow. As @ryu said below, this is the worst kind of gamble.

Developer told me the highest the jackpot ever went was 1.4M sats. I'm ready to break that record... are you?

God no, lmao.
If I was rich, maybe.
Enjoy the 60K sats, fren.

Thanks. Sent you a couple of sats to your SN address to compensate for the loss...

The worst kind of gamble, but fun if you're the only one.
Then you only lose a small bit of your money.
