Hi all,
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with SatoshiDice; have laid down 0.25BTC, but unable to bet or withdraw.
Keeps sitting there with 'processing your bet' and upon withdrawal, sits there doing.. not much.
Usually site works fine?

I just found and search some thread in this section about satoshidice hot wallet was empty according to this link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1365781.msg14299085
And read it maybe it can help you to know the issue to your concern..

I can't find the contact email but you can try go to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77870.0 which is old official thread from satoshidice..

Heh.. the satoshidice hot wallet is nearly always empty, the key is just waiting until someone else puts money down ('our service technicians have been notified' nearly every time, but couple hours later its all good).

This seems to be entirely different issue, like the core engine is dead; I can leave the site with 'processing your bet' for hours.
Emailled them about 6 hours ago to no avail.

i think better to be wait more hours and be patience maybe they can solve this issue..
Since that site is old dice game since 2012. If you are new it is better to try other well know dice site here. than choosing this one..
They are low support according to other reviews..

I don't know how relevant it sounds but just posting here incase some finds it helpful connecting the dots.

SatoshiDice starts a new signature campaign with higher paid rates here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1666258.msg16730810#msg16730810

After two weeks of running,the campaign unexpectedly decides to shut down with campaign manager's last update :


Take it as you want it.I think both the instances are co-related somehow but I maybe wrong.

ye, its a bit disappointing in an electronic world to wait this long for support.
i've found their luck to be average to good.. all provably fair sites are rubbish to be honest
cheers anyway


i've used the site between november 22nd and now with no issues, might just be a small breakfix required

Upon checking the link you are given it is satoshi games. honestly op concern is satoshidice.com not satoshigames
Check carefully what op post.. i already posted an official thread which is updated and some gamblers are experience the same issue as op experience..
And i think better to contact also evoorhees about this issue and maybe his online soon.

It has been having issues for months...

Finally came unstuck.. all good gents

Yeah that site has been having issues for the last few months. There was virtually no support and then finally a dev replied a few days earlier and got some issues sorted out. However I would avoid using that site in the time being until they get their stuff fixed.

sometimes these websites have problems .keep some patience .as there is no virtual contact or any email in the hot mail then there will be no other way other than waiting .have some patience until the problem is solved .kudoos :)

This ins't the situation with Satoshidice, ever since they were bought out a few years ago the service and support has gone downhill. This isn't a DDOS or some hosting issue. Their hot wallet is constantely empty and people can't withdraw their balance. And the support is non-existant.

So did you get back your bitcoin?

It seems they are going with maintainance and those problems you had before may be one of the problem they are trying to fix now

Got this  https://www.satoshidice.com/?stage=2

yep, got it all. cheers.
i feel that it is a trap of sorts, after a big win (understandably) some people would get annoyed and then eventually continue to throw - and then lose it all, simply due to the fact they weren't able to withdraw.

i've personally had enough of provably fair sites (satoshidice, to its credit, has been reasonable); as the entire concept is gamed.
the hash that you are presented, how do you know it hasnt been pre-calculated? very little cpu work to do so.
and for every hash that you see.

i've been toying with an entirely transparent concept for a dice site; where the users can see the guts and all of the site code.. as it runs. no ifs, no buts, no coconuts. using a randomization source that can be independently queried to ensure that that was the given seed/number at this time etc.

not asking for funding, but would this interest people?
about a quarter written.
