I would just post with that account had it been under my control. Making personal insults against legit criticism makes you sound like the butthurt one, virtually any dice website looks better than JD, Primedice etc etc. Am I a shill for every other dice website out there as well?

I was accused to be related to the Casinobit business by some idiot off the forum with no evidence, I have later read the posts by tmbp. How the fuck does that make me more related to the whole deal?

Quick question: How does the looks of JD point towards a scam? I would be much more worried about a site with flashy gimmicks being a scam than something like JD.

also, it is clear you have never taken a course or have been trained in user interface designing. Just dice looks good, it's balanced, it's easy to navigate and use. The site shows (almost) all the info you want and all the info you need in logical places that's easy to get to. You never have more than 4 (maybe 5) steps to do a certain action. The interface isn't clustered, it doesn't cause frustration and is actually rather calming. The UI design for JD is rather remarkable.

When designing an interface, there are more important things to take into consideration than not looking like it was designed by a 14 yo girl (which it doesn't, you've obviously not spent time with girls that age)

Never understood the money is everything attitude, some of us have had lower points in our lives, so what if you can't pay rent? Live on the street for a while, find a new job, live with your dad, stand back up on your feet.

It amazes me how people are dropping dead from financial crises, what kind of degeneracy is that. Do sports, find yourself a girl (or multiple) and stop being a depressed little sad cunt.

Dooglus you are with the website which looks like it was designed by a 14 year old, how anyone could design a crappier looking website I have no idea but it definitely sounds like an accomplishment.

It featured red text on a red background for much of its user interface.  It had almost no traffic.  And the investment feature they copied from JD was so badly botched that early investors were able to withdraw investments made by later investors.  Kind of an unintentional Ponzi scheme.

It would have been funny if so many people didn't lose coins to the owner's incompetence.

Another person has mentioned the same flaw, surprise surprise, we must be both shills for the same website which no longer exists? How does pointing out your flaws supposedly helps promote another website again?

I didn't say you were trying to promote your dead site.  I was wondering if perhaps you were butthurt because your site was such a horrific failure in every way, and so you feel like the only way to explain it is to decide that successful sites must be scams in some way.

Perhaps I have read the post before, I wasn't aware that someone else had made the same exact accusation some time ago, however I don't see how it helps your case.

The "someone else" made the exact same crazy point in the same aggressive way, exhibited the same faulty reasoning and had the same writing style as you.  He had also already been identified as one of your socks independently of me.  So it's either a really weird coincidence, or you're not being entirely truthful.

Anyway, thanks for playing.  It's been fun.

I'm back, and disappointed but unsurprised to find that OP hasn't made any kind of sensible response to my posts.

Reading mad's posts makes me think he's a conspiracy theorist.

The word "sheeple" in someone's vocabulary is pretty much unique in this respect.  Using it three times in a short succession is quite conclusive:

Quote
12:41:40 (755992) <raylene> keep on being sheeple and learn critical thinking or else I've got a bridge to sell you
12:48:40 (755992) <raylene> you could call me an altruist I guess, I help you sheeple fight darwinism by protecting you from scams
12:57:19 (755992) <raylene> because sheeple that's why

Dooglus appears to be as transparent as possible without risking the safety of his investors/players.

You could say the same about the owners of Gox before it all went down, I just want to encourage critical thinking and make people question their blind decisions.

You couldn't say anything like the same about MtGox.  They never published a list of user balances, and only once (to my knowledge) did any kind of proof of holding coins with the 424242 BTC transaction or whatever it was.  What you could say about MtGox would be:

"MtGox held large amounts of customer funds but never proved they were solvent.  It was therefore not particularly surprising when they declared bankruptcy.  Just-Dice on the other hand proves their solvency every week, and has been doing so since shortly after launch, well before MtGox shut down, so there's really no similarity".

That would be more truthful but wouldn't help your case.

I wonder what your real motivation is behind this witch hunt.  Is it something to do with your own failed casino site I wonder?  Weren't you the guy who tried to copy JD's investment model on a crappy video-based roulette site and ended up "losing" customer funds somehow?

so... guys casinobit.net is apparently a very nice casino, owned by yours truly... as an alt account of course.

"Yours truly" means "me", not "him".  Doesn't it?

Oh, by the way I managed to find the post where I was previously called a scammer for not publishing transaction IDs.  It's from "tmbp" who I've long believed to be the guy who ran casinobit (into the ground), and I'm not the only one:

It's funny because this thread is garbage and every poster here has a Trust rating of -10 or less.

It is, because most of them are either the scammers that I have reported or their shills, they also get pissed off and neg rep me too.

Where is the list of all the bets together with txids that are on the blockchain on Just-dice.com?

Just-Dice doesn't fill the blockchain with bets.  If you had done any research at all you would know that.

Dooglus, stop trying to twist your way out of this, where is the list of the txids of the desposits of all the accounts on your website?

Dooglus you are with the website which looks like it was designed by a 14 year old, how anyone could design a crappier looking website I have no idea but it definitely sounds like an accomplishment.

Just gotta say as always, dooglus +1 for being clear and explaining things. 

It should be obvious to everyone by now that if you were a crook you'd been gone a long time ago.  You yourself have already explained how while you can make a reasonably provably fair system for players, it's really hard to make one for investors.

So Mad if you want to be critical that may be a more useful avenue.

Not choosing to implement a system that may further prove you are honest does not make one dishonest.

Good Luck!

Reading mad's posts makes me think he's a conspiracy theorist. I just don't see enough proof against Dooglus, and Dooglus appears to be as transparent as possible without risking the safety of his investors/players.

It could be found out that the worth of the casino was non-existent while fake bets were being created, additional fake investors could be created in order toe balance everything out since I imagine not every single person checks whether he is on the list.

Bitcoin debt issued out of thin air.
If this was the case, then why does the balance of the cold wallet plus the hot wallet total more then then invested amount? Clearly he has possession of the coins he says he has.

It could be that the volume of fake bets got so high that people invested themselves, it could be that some investments don't show up on the website after an investor invests.
127  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Just-Dice scam on: May 20, 2014, 09:48:49 PM
But this isn't a flaw in logic at all.  It's a decision not to release personal information about JD customers to the public.

Is releasing your public key then considered a compromise on privacy? JD accounts are pseudoanonymous like Bitcoin itself, please help me distinguish the parallels.

I don't see the relevance.  JD is provably fair.  Whether or not there are "fake" bets on the site is unrelated to whether the site plays fair with the "real" bets.

But to answer your question, "no".  You're not a scammer if you make a non-provably fair game.  Almost no fiat gambling site in the world is provably fair.  What makes you a scammer is if you are scamming people, not the absence of proof of the absence of scam.

I was taking an example to an extreme and even then you fail to answer it, most fiat casino are under the supervision of some organization which is ridiculous to begin with. Had I proposed to chose the "roll" myself in an honest manner the probability of me not being a scammer is so minuscule that assuming that I am one would be a question of logic for the average intellectual.

Opinions are like assholes; everybody has one.  You can think what you want.  Others might be tempted to share your opinion if you could present it in a way that makes sense to them.

If there's a flaw, please describe it and how it could be exploited?  What's the worse that could happen if I was some evil MySQL/PHP-fueled genius with a fake bet machine?  What's the doomsday scenario here?  You seem to be comparing JD to MtGox, but JD is provably solvent, and whether or not Gox had "fake trades" on their site wasn't related to their eventual demise.  So what gives?

It could be found out that the worth of the casino was non-existent while fake bets were being created, additional fake investors could be created in order toe balance everything out since I imagine not every single person checks whether he is on the list.

In the logs posted, the op strikes me as law enforcement trying to do blockchain analytics on large tx betters using this service as a honeypot.

I knew someone would bring it up, consider the latest openssl bug, now realize that chances are almost all authorities and/or organizations that would want to access this information already have access to it.

The only ones who cannot access it are private organizations and/or people like you or me.

I raised the issue of just-dice being a potential scam with Dooglus himself but was called a retard that should commit suicide to prevent my genetics from ruining the gene pool by one of the players and banned shortly after.


I am sorry that people resorted to name calling and insulting *frowns towards klye*. It is rude, unprofessional and usually shows lack of proof or reasoning.

I was provocative to the minimum given the circumstances as I was slandered by mentally challenged players which ironically are the very ones I'm trying to save.

You came in calling dooglus a scammer, saying he IS running a scam, he IS placing fake bets, I would not call this "provocative to the minimum". You only later said he could be running a scam, etc. Once again, name calling does not help either party.


I was planning on covering the other topics, but dooglus did a good job on that, so I won't be reposting what he said.
(will address doogluses long post in a second)
My point was that if someone leaves out this huge potential flaw in the logic of their website in exchange for little to no (supposed) gain then it is incredibly suspicious.

If I theoretically decided to run an online casino but not integrate any provable fairness at all and assure players that I will choose a random number from 0 to 10 on every bet in an honest manner, am I then a scammer despite the players having no concrete evidence showing that I am favoring one of them?

My opinion is that dooglus is a scammer until proven otherwise, the fact is that there is a huge flaw which could potentially be exploited.
131  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Just-Dice scam on: May 20, 2014, 09:00:26 PM
Not by me you weren't.  I was incredibly patient with you even though you failed to present any kind of reasonable point.

Eventually one of the chat moderators with less patience than myself put an end to your pointless trolling.

Please post the logs, one second you disappear because "someone is hacking the cold wallet" another second one of your other moderators supposedly bans me accidentally. Just that fact alone should make players cautious.
132  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Just-Dice scam on: May 20, 2014, 08:58:41 PM
I think the exact words I used were: You are to retarded for logic and you should kill yourself and your children to avoid your genetics further polluting the human race..



Or something along those lines.

Provable fair is known to have its flaws. No system can be 100% provable fair. At then end of the day it's just some numbers proving that the rolled numbers were prerolled ahead of time and in this case were not altered.

If you think doog is going to scam you, don't play at just dice. Simple as that.


Doog has no need to run bots to make his numbers improved. He owns the #1 dice site in BTC land hands down.



You haven't a leg to stand on nor the IQ to even understand logic or reason.
I'm also glad the first thing you mentioned was me telling you to off yourself.  Grin


Cheers you mongoloid fuck,

I have never played nor ever will play at just-dice, I won't invest either. We have free speech here and I feel as if the community needs people like me more than ever to shed some light on scams before shit hits the fan and everyone is bitching and moaning on the forums like post-Gox again.

Your insults are pointless, discredit my claims don't insult the messenger, plus thanks for re-wording exactly what I've told you and sending it back, I appreciate despite the fact that the way I've said it was more classy.

Me quoting your insults are meant to shed some light on the kind of degeneracy that looms those chats, not as a compliment, but take it however you will.

Please provide evidence.

PrimeDice and some other betting websites doesn't do this. Plus, most people who bet also use the chat? Or all of those bots used by Dooglus, too?

Could potentially be, Satoshidice sure does prove every bet.

SatoshiDice is a dice game.
Just-Dice is a Hi-Lo game.

SatoshiDice has also been suspected of using bots on some bets.

It is irrelevant, dooglas has proved to be untrustworthy by his sketchy behavior. It would cost little to nothing to have what I'm suggesting implemented and rule out this possibility yet he never will.

Greetings,

I raised the issue of just-dice being a potential scam with Dooglus himself but was called a retard that should commit suicide to prevent my genetics from ruining the gene pool by one of the players and banned shortly after.

I was provocative to the minimum given the circumstances as I was slandered by mentally challenged players which ironically are the very ones I'm trying to save.

The point that I have raised with Dooglus is that his provably fair concept isn't secure from all vectors, in fact it has a rather large flaw that could potentially (and very likely IS) be exploited by himself. The flaw is he could potentially be running a bot that runs Mysql queries and inserts "fake" bets. This would allow to make the website seem more secure than it really is as well as giving the impression that it is significantly more busy, worth significantly more and encourage players to make bets that they otherwise wouldn't on a website with less credibility, not to mention the investments.

The solution would be to add a link next to every bet, once a user clicks the link he would be redirected to a page showing all the txids of the deposits of the user making the bet. Since Dooglus couldn't possibly have access to those amounts of untainted BTC (he couldn't keep reusing the same BTC or else we'd notice) this would disprove my claim for all the future bets on this website with little to no cost to Dooglus.

Since every account on just-dice is psuedoanonymous in nature the same way as Bitcoin addresses privacy isn't a huge concern.

Given the nature of Dooglus and his unwillingness to meet in person due to the supposed risks on his side I am calling this out as the next Mt Gox.

Please stay safe and have a nice day!

Quote from: odolvlobo link=topic=608962.msg6730907#msg67 30907 date=1400098136
BTW, somebody at Investopedia fixed the article. It used to say "$1 billion" and now it says "$1 million".

Regardless, 1 bitcoin will never be worth $1 million of today's USD. As I wrote above, it will be worth only around $190,000 if it replaces USD completely.


At $190,000 I would be one extremely happy person. Maybe even a little rich!  Wink

The whole point is that at the time the dollar would be so worthless that 190,000$ would be about enough to buy yourself a juicebox and go nap nap with your blankie.

It's not just possible, it's inevitable, of course by then the whole dollar would get into hyper inflation and crash, nobody will accept it for any physical good. A bottle of coke will cost you half a billion.

-snip

No, because if I am a businessman of means I can effectively "hijack" the network by investing a large sum of money into specialized servers/hardware. I could then dictate the fees and impose them on the network, this is where we are currently today.

-snip-


And your proposed answer to this seriously is "To prevent that let's give loads of money to a 'trusted' person so it sets up hardware and nodes on behalf of us in a decentralized fashion"?

You're trying to troll right? Or I just don't understand your idea.

I mean you just identified why the decentralization of the network actually is a needed thing and how at the same time the way mining works right now is undermining the decentralization. And your way to fight it is to throw decentralization over board completely and trust a single entity with handling the network and transactions? You do realize that in that case you just could save loads of money and just pay using paypal right?

I think the only valid answer to the problem you identified is to change how mining works in such way that it gives an incentive to mine solo again. And I do not mean change the algorithm or move from PoW to PoS.
What I have in mind would be a "license" system. The network assigns a "license" to mine to any full node that provides a certain hashrate in the network. That license expires upon finding a block and a new license to the same node is assigned by a slot system. That slot system would work like this: The Network tries to maintain a constant hashrate (let's go with the current ~65 PH/s) aswell as a minimum number of active mining nodes (let's say 1,000,000). The upper bound for the hashrate a node would need to provide in order to be assigned a "license" (or mining slot) would be calculated by dividing the target hashrate by the minimum number of active miners. So with the example numbers: 65 PH/s / 1,000,000 = 65 GH/s. The lower bound should be half of that at most to ensure the slow nodes do not block slots for long times. People with hadware that provides too little hashing power would need to pool people whose hardware provides more hashrate would need to split it up into more nodes. When the target hashrate is reached no more slots are assigned and any nodes that would qualify for a slot go into a waiting line. In order to prevent the possibility of attacks by entities with lot's of hardware that waiting line is not a FIFO line instead when a slot becomes available a fitting new node is chosen at random by the network based on waiting time (say a node from the 1000 longest waiting nodes is chosen).

If I haven't overlooked something critical (which I surely have as this was thought out as of the writing of this post) the consequences of introducing this change would be:

  • constant difficulty and thus an end to the hardware arms race. hardware manufacturers could concentrate on lowering the prices and increasing the energy efficiency of the hardware.
  • the network's safety from manipulation could be better guaranteed

First of all PoS is such an elaborate and big scheme which is changed almost weekly to fix problems with it (contrary to PoW which has never been changed since Bitcoin started as far as I'm aware), I don't think that any stable crypto would be built on technology which is still in development.

I still don't see how your plan addresses sybil attacks, if one can acquire unlimited identities one couldn't one apply to all of these contracts?

So far Bitcoin IS centralized, what I would do is take that centralization and give it to the people, I have worded my question specifically in such a manner that disregards reputation completely as if we found a solution to that problem in the meantime.
