Title: SatoshiDice USA Ban Post by: WuLabsWuTecH on May 17, 2013, 10:55:32 AM I saw that satoshi dice is banning US IP addresses.
now I've never used satoshi dice, but wait a second here. I thought all you did was send BTC to a BTC address and if you win, it sends BTC back to you. How does it block based on IP??? Title: Re: SatoshiDice USA Ban Post by: Zaih on May 17, 2013, 10:58:35 AM It can't.
In theory, this won't stop USA players from betting on it if they already know about it. It will however severely affect SD in terms of marketing. They can't simply get new US players by having a link to their website on Bitcointalk or through google etc. Mainly USA people who knew about SD prior will end up betting from now on I assume. Obviously, SD could have a trick up their sleeve to get around this though. We'll see.

Why would SD blocking US visitors from their website affect your project?

But for your reply, I got good move. ;) Title: Re: SatoshiDice USA Ban Post by: zahra4576 on May 17, 2013, 07:08:02 PM You can easily get around with this using tor,vpn,proxies or vps.
Title: Re: SatoshiDice USA Ban Post by: AzureEngineer on May 17, 2013, 07:10:27 PM The point of the block is plausible denial of crimes if a US citizen uses the site's services. The block is not meant to actually keep US citizens from playing, it is to keep SatoshiDICE from taking any blame if said US citizen is caught illegally gambling.
Title: Re: SatoshiDice USA Ban Post by: tabbek on May 17, 2013, 07:13:33 PM So are they just blocking US based IP addresses from reaching the webserver?

Title: Re: SatoshiDice USA Ban Post by: tabbek on May 17, 2013, 07:30:30 PM Thanks for the clarification.
Title: Re: SatoshiDice USA Ban Post by: SigurdDragonslayer on May 17, 2013, 08:38:54 PM I think US residents can still use it through the blockchain.info satoshidice interface.
