Title: Satoshimines.com Review
Post by: adamr014 on December 02, 2015, 01:19:41 PM
Satoshi Mines is an online betting platform that specializes in only one game. It is exclusively powered by Bitcoin, and it does not show signs of supporting other languages. Based on the name alone, the kind of gambling experience on this website can already be expected, and it is guaranteed that it will not be the kind the usual Bitcoin casino features.

The more greens you find on the 5x5 grid, the higher your multiplier.

/ FEATURES /

Provably Fair
Mine positions are chosen at the start of every round and can be verified after the round ends.

SECURITY
Satosnimines provides a game hash at the beginning of each round that is encrypted with SHA256. This makes it near impossible for any to crack it. Believe me, you'd need multiple NASA super computers to crack just one of these hashes and even then it would take a long time.

These hashes prove to you that the round wasn't rigged, because at the end of the game the hash shows the plain text. IE:
Hash - 72bjbw2?7?7w
At the end of the match in a One Mine game - 1-nunasnuasnaudndw
That 1 is where the mine/s was/were place.

What I like about this site
There are multiple things that I both like and dislike about satoshimines. I'll start with some of the things that I like about satoshimines and find unique to it.

First of all, the minesweeper aspect. I forgot all about that game due to the fact that I haven't played it in multiple years and when I found out about satoshimines I remembered it.
Secondly, satoshimines is one of those rare gambling sites that actually work smoothly on a mobile/tablet/iPad device as well as one a pc/laptop.  
Satoshimines makes it super easy for you to make a lot of profit, but that's only if you're smart with your money or extremely lucky and strike it rich on a 24 mine game.
The support team is also generally pretty fast in terms of replying to emails. I usually get a response within a few hours after my original email.

What I don't like about this site
The fact that I and many others lost out money on here :(

Also, I reckon that this site would be much nicer with a few added features such as;
- A chat where you can actually talk to other players.
- A bot to check your stats, ie profit or conversion rates.

That's it for this review, it's hard to write on an iPad so I'll update this when I get on a pc.

Remember, gamble responsibly!

Seems like a good review, are you planning on making more or where is this coming from? You could also add some points like: Interface 7/10 Odds 9/10 Provably fair: Yes/No Automatic betting: Yes/No. You could make a site for your reviews. I myself wanted to make one but never got into it.

Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, I'll update the original post with some ratings on parts of the site ;)
I would make a site but when PayPal limited my account I basically lost all my money so I have no funds to make a website with.
I guess I'll just post more reviews on here & then compile them all in to one thread after I'm done.

I've got quite a bit of sites that I want to leave reviews on from my experience & based on what the site provides not what it advertises.

Who knows, I might make a site for this kind of thing one day soon

This game is absolute BS .As a experienced gambler ,they don't have any sources to show the fairness of the game.I have said this before and will say it again.Don't expect much profits out of this game unless you're playing with some small bits which will takes like 10 years to make 1 BTC.I have lost 0.15 BTC in a row playing with that 24* box where in a line I played around 100 games but never hit an empty spot.I'm sure my luck won't be that bad .

They do have tho. ''How is Satoshi Mines Provably Fair?

This game uses “game hashes” to prove itself. If you've played provably fair games online before, Satoshi Mines' method will be familiar to you.

What are the game hashes?

Game hashes are how Satoshi Mines proves that each game's mine tiles are chosen when the game is created and are not tampered with. Hashes thus prove to the player that the game is fair.

When a new round is started, three of the twenty-five tiles are chosen as mines. The three tiles (represented as numbers from 1 to 25,) coupled with a random string generated by the server are hashed using SHA256. The result of the hash function is shown to you before you make your first tile choice.

Validating the fairness

After a game has been completed, the "three-number+random string" secret will be revealed. It is at this point you may validate that the SHA256 hash of the secret matches the hash that has been shown since the beginning of the round.

Online SHA256 Lookup (unaffiliated)''

You can read that in their FAQ, it's basically how you can verify the fairness of the site, if you don't know exactly what it means you can search for a tutorial here or on google, there are plenty but basically it's impossible for them to cheat without you noticing.

I'm a very casual gambler but the times I've played here I thought the system was very odd and something's was up. Like others have said there's no way you can really verify it's fairness. In some plays I felt like it was making me lose on purpose really. I didn't lose a lot of money, broke even I think or close to but it's just so random and chaotic that I would advice to try other type of games really. It's very easy to lose all your money.

You're contradicting yourself here. It's extremely lost but you and many others have lost?
This is not how a proper review should look.

OP, I think you should create a site for all your bitcoin gambling reviews instead of posting on a forum. This way, you can possibly gain ad revenue. Good luck!

Good service to the community giving gambling sites reviews especially when it's on casinos.
Very good of you to do this, maybe you could do multiple reviews & do other sites?

With surprise, I can say that I got the money back.
After 6 hours when i open game, i see my game again without any errors.
I click to button cashout and money come back (Magic). 
I don't get any email from website about incident.
I think this is technical bug.

Soo
I get money back it's a +
I waited not to long  and this is a +
Site administrators don't contact with me (or anybody if this is a global bug  ) and this is -
About this incident i can't find any topic on site or anywhere and this is a -

I'm going to play again, but use small bets
I think this post helps someone, someday.


Thanks all

good review about the site , it gives investors ,game players an hint on the above website. gambling , betting games are need to be played carefully ,there are chances to win ,but greediness  turns in to loss , need to invest very less amount ,as I believe it requires lot of experience to play on betting.

Post by: zend7 on September 17, 2016, 07:37:52 AM
My review for this website is really simple;

The game logic is simple and anyone can play. Unfortunately almost everyone will lose money there. Chances of winning are low and website is way too much outdated. There are other much better casinos which offer a lot more choices to play from.

They need to revise their website totally or no one will keep playing them for long.

 i think he is just bad luck. I hit empty space on 24 mines settings 5 times with 0.002btc bet. I pick only one cell every game and it actually works. Satoshimines is provably fair
as clearly stated above. So don't blame gambling site if you lose some coins.

But actually i doubting that satoshimines is not fair since when i do gambling at that site in the long run the tiles killing me when im pressing it and its like bomb is everywhere whenever i click on those at the very first tile im every round, but i really don't know if it is just me and bad lucks hit at that time since i never win on that site or they are really doing some manipulation so people will end up losing in the long run.

I've not played very often at Satoshimines but the sites looks ok. Good enough to try it, But not good enough to keep using it for your daily entertainment.
With the amount of scams growing rapidly, better make sure to stick with the large ones.

I was playing on it from last 2 years buddy. I don't think its untrustworthy.  Whenever I think of playing gambling,  just one name came to my mind. Satoshimines.

Well i also like satoshimines.com and i am gambling in this sites for over a year now.Bitcoin minesweeper is something pretty unique and we dont see much of these.I used to play there with some small amount of bits pretty often,and like the feature of instant deposit even without confirmation and instant withdrawal as well.
