I think he uses "conscious" and "consciousness" interchangeably.

According to http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conscious , conscious is both an adjective (with many definitions) and a noun (which is synonymous with definition 5 of consciousness, "the upper level of mental life of which the person is aware as contrasted with unconscious processes"), as in the given example:

It sounds to me like Sergio is thinking of a situation where I try to send BTC to a merchant, and as I do so an attacker takes my transaction, somehow changes part of it but leaves my payment going to the merchant, and the merchant rejects it as a double spend, whereas he shouldn't because whichever of the two transactions makes it into the blockchain the merchant still gets my payment.  So it's a denial of service attack, causing the merchant to incorrectly reject my payment.

As for how such an attack would be possible, I guess it would need me to use a specific non-default kind of signature on my inputs.  Maybe some "SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY" type of signature perhaps, which allows the attacker to add his own tiny input, thus changing the txid.

Almost everywhere I click on your site gives instant feedback of some kind, so I know the click registered.  But I just clicked the 'cash out' link in the top right and had to wait a few seconds without knowing whether my click had registered or not.  Maybe darken the text as soon as it's clicked, so I know the click 'worked'?

(and I'm starting to feel like this is too much nit-picking - let me know when the level of my reports becomes annoying please)

Hey Mem.

bitZino.com recently added a new crap: craps.  It has the same slick HTML5 interface as their roulette game, and better than usual odds.

I sent you a PM with a bunch of comments a couple of weeks ago and received no response.  Not sure if you got it.

There's an issue with the live display of big losses:

* the amounts displayed are obviously too big
* the text doesn't fit in the box

My Internet connection went down yesterday before I could post the day's update.  I'll post today's when it's done running.

A niggle:

I was just playing craps for uBTC.  I cashed out, then went to buy back in.  I hadn't noticed that the units had switched back to uBTC automatically.

I typed "100000" into the amount box and clicked 'Buy in', thinking it was still in uBTC units, not noticing it had been changed on me.  It automatically changed the 100000 to 100 (which is my whole mBTC balance) and bought in for that amount.  I could easily have started playing thinking I was playing for uBTC not mBTC since it (a) changed the units automatically and (b) reduced the amount I asked to buy it for without warning me that it was more than I had.

So I guess I'd prefer it to remember the units I select, until I change them again.  I'm not sure what would be better than automatically fixing the buy-in amount.  Maybe leave it as typed, and just give an error if the user clicks 'buy-in' with an invalid amount in the text field.

Edit: oh, and I don't see a way to change the units back from uBTC to mBTC.  I guess since it defaults to mBTC each time I play, it's not needed the way things are currently set up.

Here's a funny/cool/interesting one:

If I type my bet amount rather than using the mouse, I can't enter any amount that begins with an 8 or a 9.  I can type amounts with 8s and 9s in them, just not at the start.

It's hard to imagine what's special about 8 and 9 that would cause this bug.  I can type 4 then 2x to get 8, or type 7 then +1, but I can't type just 8.

This happens in both craps and roulette, and for both play money and bitcoin play.

Thanks!

It's just a nit-pick, but I'd prefer the status message to appear earlier, before the losing bets start fading, and persist longer, while I'm placing the next bet.

As soon as I click to place my first bet, the status vanishes, and I have to remember the amount for up to 2 seconds!

I notice that the "don't pass odds" and "pass odds" buttons are completely inactive when I first play.  No "less dark background" - just a dead UI element.  Seems a little inconsistent, since the "don't come odds" and "come odds" buttons are always at least slightly active...

Yes.

The blockchain.info wallet provides an API, so it would be relatively easy to modify them (or pay someone else to modify them) to interact with that API rather than using the satoshi client.

If the signature changed, the txid would change, but that isn't necessarily a double spend.  It's just that there are two different transactions both of which send coins to you.

I'm not sure why the signature would change however.  What's the story there?

My brother used to busk in town centres in Spain.  One day he was sat outside a shop "playing" (he's self-taught, like Dank) when the shopkeeper came out and told him in very slow careful English "you... cannot... play...".  My brother waited until he found the 4th word he was expecting, "here..." but it never came.  The shopkeeper's message was complete.

When I roll 6-6 on the 'no pass', it's a push.  The result is shown as "win: 1".  I think "push: 1" would be better, to make it clear that 6-6 on 'no-pass' is a push, not a win.

I'd also like to see "lose: 1" when I lose.  At the moment there seems to be no way I can tell how much I lost when I lose once the bet amount has faded out.  That makes it hard to drink and martingale bet at the same time. 

Another comment:

In craps, certain bets aren't allowed at certain times.  For instance you're not allowed to make a 'come' bet as your first bet.  You should disable the mouse hover function for bets that aren't currently allowed.  Otherwise when I hover over 'come', it lights up.  I click it, see the stake box pop up, but am unable to interact with it.

I don't really know what problem you're seeing in my screenshots, since I don't know how it's meant to look.

I often don't have pages at 100% zoom.  Could that be the issue?  Try zooming in or out and see if you can reproduce the problem.

Here's how roulette currently looks at my current zoom level:



Here's craps at my current zoom level (110%):



And here's the same craps table at 100% zoom:

I'm no expert either, but I remember reading somewhere that you should never mix serif and sans-serif fonts.


Yes:

$ lsb_release -d

I'm also using XFCE4 rather than Unity as my desktop environment, in case that matters.  It seems unlikely though.

Also, did you change the odds in the last few hours?  Earlier I was getting 17 to 3 for "any seven" and now I'm getting 29 to 6.  That's a drop from 5.666 to 1 to 4.8333 to 1.  Ah, it's a 5 to 1 event.    I should have bet it more earlier when you were paying better than breakeven odds for it.  

Edit: Oh, I get it.  The bug you fixed wasn't that the payouts were wrong - it was that the quoted odds were wrong.  You were always paying out the right amount and only the odds printed on the table were incorrect.

Another comment:

It looks ugly to me to see odds written as "7.5 to 1", especially when just below I see "33 to 2".  Fractional odds are traditionally written using integers.  So instead of "7.5 to 1", we write "15 to 2".  Or write everything as "x to 1", so "33 to 2" becomes "16.5 to 1".  Mixing the two different forms looks weird.

I don't know if your table is a bitmapped image, or whether you can update the text on the fly, but maybe it would be nice to allow the user to chose fractional or decimal odds.  I think different formats are common in different countries.  Probably the easiest to understand is "8.5x" rather than "15 to 2" - just writing the multiplier that is applied when you win.
