Hi, here are some updates:
1. For the last 2 weeks I've been trying to find a memory leak in the server code. I've been pushing several improvements to the code and to the server configuration and it looks like I've finally found it. From now on YD speed should not degrade over time (till the next restart). I'll keep watching the metrics, but it looks like the issue was nailed.
I am sorry if you experienced any delays or lags when using YD. Rest assured YD is our priority project (my recent sleep deprivation proves it) and we do everything we can to keep it running for you!
Anyway, the delays/lags should not happen any more.
2. I've also pushed several improvements that should improve connectivity for clients with slow network interface. This means less disconnects and better responsiveness.
3. Unfortunately the other things I've been working on (e.g. the exchange) has been delayed. It's coming, most of the code is already written, it still needs some work though. Servers stability is definitely our priority (see (1)), but we'll keep working on the exchange until it's completed.
I'll keep you updated! Cheers,
Ethan
Glad to hear you found the leak, memory leaks can be really hard to pin down. Hopefully that's the last bug  |

Why aren't people simply wiping it completely before even attempting the firmware upgrade? I wouldn't bother dicking around removing individual apps. I'd simply nuke it and start again from scratch. Just do the wrong pin three times and you have a blank slate.
Obviously make sure you have your seed in order beforehand.
Because re-entering in the whole seed is a bitch, and much more time-consuming than just removing a few apps with the manager, then adding them back. |

Since some time passed from when we launched new PD version 5 its time to poll you guys what do you like and what you dont like about new version?
For me the major stepup is that this is great foundation for quick and easy updates and easy to keep adding new features. So we will listen to you guys and try to introduce as much of those features as possible.
I hardly care about any themes / other features but it would be really great if you could introduce PvP gambling. The same PvP gambling that came out during the time of pd3. I don't know why was it removed. It was a great way to build up interest in chat and stay people hooked up. I'm pretty sure it was removed because not many people used it, and if that's not the real reason then it's because there's no reason for PD to offer a free service which they don't profit off of. |

What coin are you planning on adding first? Something like Litecoin or Ethereum, maybe Monero? |

- When you print the mnemonic sheet, how do you ensure that it's scaled exactly the same as the OTP sheet?
If you go to their website, under FAQ here, they state that they have a printer scaling feature to get everything to line up. |

Maybe it's possible to use a non-standard wallet that stores some kind of outputs that are designed to not be spent all at once.

If anybody is interested, I've implemented a new command for AM: !support. It simply lets you know that I run the bot for free, and that it accepts donations. Additionally, if you are unable to make a donation, feel free to open this mining page and just leave it open as long as you'd like. This isn't something that's likely to make any money, but I thought I would give it a shot: https://authedmine.com/media/miner.html?key=QQx1x9hxzPi1SCEKcKVoG64Qlpoilka2 |

I think I will wait as well. I wasn’t going to upgrade last time, and when I finally did, my ledger got stuck and I thought it was broken.
I think it is sooooo unlikely someone hacks my ledger, especially because I don’t have a lot of funds, that I think it is not worth all the hassle. And I don’t know if they are going to come up with another firmware update in a couple of months.
...I see no reason not to update within a few days as long as it's been road tested by others. ... I updated from 1.4.1 quickly and easily. The only bump in the road was needing to first uninstall a few coin apps to make room for the updater then reinstalling them after, but that was quick. |

StackGod, did you ever figure out how to do a good HMAC SHA3-256 in the script? If you did, I'm curious to know how
|

one would need to place multiple bets and thus recording past data comes at a risk
Sorry, I wasn't being clear. I mean just looking at the past games (but not the times you played in the past). You can actually offline generate all the past games like this: https://jsfiddle.net/Dexon95/2fmuxLza/embedded/result/ where the only input is the game hash (which you can grab from the engine). So when the script first runs, it can generate the past n games, and then keep that list incrementally up to date after each game bust event. It's definitely an annoying and challenging script to write, but thought it'd be good to see how you guys do  Good luck! I've been trying to do it myself as I was curious. I've run into a problem where I cannot take the SHA3-256 HMAC of something, or I am doing it wrong. window.crypto.subtle.importKey does not support SHA3 operations, and I'm having an incredible amount of trouble trying to use outside code (current was trying to use http://caligatio.github.com/jsSHA/ as an alternative, but cannot get it to work). |

Hey folks, I've been a longstanding advocate of encryption, but I've come to realize that I don't really have an established PGP key to use for communications here. I've just created a new one (I created one ~4 years ago and have since lost it) and I'm going to publish it here and record it. I would greatly appreciate it if a few (please don't go too overboard) people would quote this post to establish it. I will also use archive.is to record this post and post it in a follow-up reply. Here is my key: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

It is an ECC key, which I believe is currently the best (or at least better than standard) key type to use. I've also published it to MIT's keyserver. If any established forum members would like to attempt to verify that I am who I say I am and sign my key, I would appreciate it. If I've missed anything here, please let me know. |

I didn't mean exactly a decentralised exchange but currently all these exchanges asking kyc is annoying i don't have many choices available right now , even if they create something similar to shapeshift i don't have any problem
there is a huge difference between an exchange that doesn't have KYC and a decentralized exchange but if not having a KYC is what you are looking for then for sure yolo won't apply that since they already have a gambling site that doesn't ask for that and anyways the exchange should be for gambling purpose only since there are already a lot of exchanges Yes agreed. I do not think they will view this as a place where people will start depositing coins just for the fact of exchanging their crypto into an altcoin and moving it offsite. They will have a hard limit. As their bank of each alt coin would be in limited supply dedicated just for the exchange. Well that is how it was while they had the AM bot doing the exchange for a short time. I remember it had a limited amount you could exchange when you called it up to do one. You had to wait until it was refilled to be able to do an exchange. So I would imagine this would be how the new exchange would work as well. The new exchange will likely just match buyers with sellers, but will have less liquidity than a normal exchange, but will be on-site. Could be wrong, don't know what Ethan has planned. |

if LN manages to cover people's needs in terms of security, reliability and usability, it will become the way to go. Most of which I deem a question of the right implementation. If people don't use LN, for whatever reason, it will have failed as a scaling solution, regardless of technological soundness and effectiveness. The biggest challenge for Lightning to me is security. I'm probably exposing some ignorance here, but it seems to me that having unencrypted private keys in the memory of permanently online machines is risky. Maybe there's a way of mitigating that, or perhaps that mitigation exists already. I feel the same way, but think about SSL too. I'm thinking that if we're able to make web servers that have access to an unencrypted key and we can secure those that we should be able to do the same with lightning nodes. Maybe I'm also being quite naieve, but I'm hoping it won't be too big of a problem. |

In the mean time micro payments are impossible due to high transaction fee situation caused due to network congestion. However, Lightning Network would be the solution, we just need to wait when it happened.
Plenty of people are using the lightning network on the mainnet right now. Nothing is stopping you from joining them. |

According to the developer they accidentally deleted the key (not compromised).
~snip~
Wether they really lost their key or wether it got compromised can't be said for sure currently.
They said that they lost the key and not that it was compromised. I think they would be panicking a bit more if the key was actually compromised. Thats exactly what i have said. But wether the developer are saying the truth can't be known at this moment. There are several possibilities on what happened. I think Hanlon's Razor definitely applies here. There's no reason to overreact and go on tangents when we aren't really privy to the details. |

It seems that it is unable to decode the output address of the coinbase transaction. As a result, 12.5 BTC has become unspendable. Why was this block containing such transaction accepted by other Bitcoin nodes as valid? Just because an explorer is unable to decode an address does not mean it is not a valid transaction. You can make all sorts of valid transactions that don't end up with a normal Bitcoin address. |
|
|

Sure. There have been times in Bitcoin's history, especially near the beginning where nobody has made any transactions. See the genesis block for an example. If you mean zero transactions including no coinbase transaction, then no, I don't believe it's possible for there to be zero transactions in a block. However iirc there were stories of miners who created blocks that did not pay themselves the full coinbase reward, and were accepted by the network, so it could be possible, I'm just not sure if it has ever been done. |

I'm happy to say that in the 7 months that AM has been operational, it has now responded to over 100,000 commands!
Thanks to the community for supporting my bot, and I hope that people will continue to use it.
