Note that the profit is almost up to what would be expected if the house had a 1% house edge all along:

It looks like the measures against players sharing IP addresses are no longer working.  Did you relax the rule, or is it a bug?

I'd much rather see true statements than comfortable ones when having to chose between the two.

... and neither is VoIP.

Ouch!  The only 100 BTC bet of the last few days, and it loses.

Also, the only other >50 BTC bets of the last few days.  Also all losers:

It's been a good few days for satoshidice!

I pulled the following from the blockchain.

That's a total of 221k BTC bet on satoshidice so far, and currently around 10 or 15k BTC per week is being bet:

It turns out the bitcoinica coins have been played on satoshidice recently too:

http://blockchain.info/tx-index/5484758 shows the bitcoinica haul being split up into amounts of 2600.

The 3rd output, http://blockchain.info/tx-index/5489226, is the "expect mass leak soon" message, ascii encoded in a transaction's values.
The 2nd output, http://blockchain.info/tx-index/7915029, has lots of inputs from 1FLo9g9AZ7Up1tgLv4xyx8xvAKiGGhAi6p, which was used recently for a series of high-stake satoshidice bets:

http://www.satoshidice.com/lookup.php?tx=1FLo9g9AZ7Up1tgLv4xyx8xvAKiGGhAi6p

31 bets.
Total stake:  303 BTC
Total return: 299.51723327 BTC

A loss of 1.15%.

I hope you don't share the same IP address, or live in the same province as each other! 

Does anyone know anything about these addresses?


I see them in transactions which also have an output worth 0.0054321, which is a value SatoshiDice uses to set the payment address.  I also see a payment to one of these addresses from 1FLo9g9AZ7Up1tgLv4xyx8xvAKiGGhAi6p, which I think is one of the addresses associated with the most recent Bitcoinica theft.

Are these addresses from a SatoshiDice clone?  Or SatshiDice testing addresses?

Since I wrote that, the effect has stopped.  Now the big bets are more profitable than the small bets.

There are now hourly freerolls on Strike Sapphire, but nobody's playing them:



They run whenever 3 or more people sign up.

The prize pool is $0.50 each hour (or about 76 seals chips ).

I tried again with a different address, leaving the currency selection at the default value of 'BTC', and again it puts two different BTC amounts - the true one, and "0 BTC" under it:



Also, is there any way to modify an existing widget, if I wanted to switch the target, or the end date or currency say?  It won't let me make a 2nd widget for the same address.

I enabled Javascript, reloaded the page, and created a widget.

It says "raised so far: 2.43 BTC (0 BTC)" - surely some mistake?

Some clue as to what format you want the end date field would be useful.

I guessed, and got to a page that says:
  {"msg":" The following fields are invalid: date"}

Does it want mm/dd/yy?  dd/mm/yy/  ddmmyy?

I tried "111212", "3rd Dec 2012", "3/12/12" (which got me to a page saying just "{"id":80}"), "12/'12/12", "3/12/12" again (which got me: '{"msg":"Widget for this Bitcoin address already generated"}', so I guess the id:80 message was a success message...

[later] Ah, it turns out I have to have javascript enabled - then clicking the date field pops up a calendar.  It would be useful if the site told me it needed javascript to work properly.

Also, clicking the "create a free widget" link at the top of the page seems to do nothing but take me back to the page I'm already on.

I don't think so.  The dice don't care whether your bet of 5 BTC is part of a martingale chain or not.  Each bet has the same (slightly negative) expectation no matter what your previous and next bets are.

Here's what happened:

You made two bets of 0.04 BTC around the same time.  One way on "lessthan 32000" and the other was on "lessthan 48000".  They both won.  One won 0.05240186 BTC and the other won 0.07875280 BTC.

You're looking at the payment of the 0.05240186 BTC and asking why it isn't 0.07875280 BTC.

Here are details of the two bets you made:



To see them for yourself, click here and here.

You can see from the address that received the 0.05240186 that it is from the "lessthan 48000" bet.  If you scroll down a bit in the transactions list you should see the other payment.

I don't know if I can make it any clearer than this, but if you still don't understand, please let me know which bit you're not following, and I'll try to explain further.

Was the previous 100 BTC bet you too, when the odds were fixed at 16:1?
