Interesting experiment, but the likelihood of a 30 minute timer expiring by adding more participants... :D

Thanks, yea I've realized that there is little incentive to share this out, upvote, etc. I think Smart Contracts are a great way to test out some of these game theory scenarios though :)

IMO, ERROR: PLEASE INSTALL METAMASK TO USE THE BUTTON makes the contract meaningless.

Good point, I'll change the message. MetaMask is a common browser extension which allows you to interact with Smart Contracts on the web. Other alternatives are Mist, Parity, or myetherwallet.com

Yeah, this seems like a ploy to get people to install some shady browser extension.

It's a well known extension with Ethereum users.

There's some incentive, since the pot goes up every time someone clicks the button.
