Stunna, please do something of the free BTC bonus. I am referring a few people now saying that you get 0.0001 for free. But, some of them are not getting the free 0.0001 BTC bonus, and I am losing referrals. :/
It is usually up, only gets taken down temporarily due to abuse. We're working in a better system for the re-launch of primedice. Anyways it is up for now  These free btc are enough to get one started and quadruple his money. This is why you are operating on a loss. |

your randomly created change address seems to be one of the many millions of addresses already in use. you have just won the lottery. i suggest not using that address as obviously someone else has it too.. i dont think this is the first time a address 'collision' has occured which is why v9 of bitcoin-QT will start using messaged to allow recognition of transactions, to avoid merchants using fresh addresses per transaction. thus reducing the chances of 'collisions' becoming a regular thing. most people think that there is no chance of a collision unless you create billions of addresses. the actual fact is that you have 1 chance WITHIN those billions of addresses.. so it could be the 10th address you make or the 9,999,999,999th address or so on. Even with trillions of addresses, there would still be no collision. 2^256 is a very big number, almost as all the atoms in the visible universe. |

I think the site is operating on a loss, I see the maximum bet drop significantly on all lessthan numbers.

51% of the network in agreement pretty much.

I know my Phenom II x4 955 is quite old by today's standards, but is it supposed to be getting just ~120(not constant) with three cores and even less with 4(I have used all the optimizations provided in the threads)? People reporting over 1000 on a single CPU machine is just ridiculous.

I suppose those Yoakams are just very cheap chinese cameras, right?

Just a reminder, DigitalOcean 16-core instances get around 2500-2600 primes per sec, and cost $0.72 per hour.
So that's why I'm no longer getting any blocks :s Yeah.  Quite a few people now have >10,000PPS. so pretty much the arms race is lost for most users  Not really, GPU miners are on the way(not by me, but I am sure they are). |

Yeah, that patch alone shot me up to 120 at times on my Phenom II x4 955BE.

Just wondering - is anyone developing a pool?
Right now I don't believe Primecoin has any protocol defined for custom miners, let alone a pool. |

@Sonny King
Primecoin as it is now, does it enable custom-made miners that use getwork to submit solutions?
|

Wow...America has no privacy, if you can find info on people before ~2009, let alone in pre-2000, somebody has made a mistake.

8 Loss streak on 50/50 proves nothing.
Nothing
Please have some more concrete proof of...well...any wrong doing...if you're going to make these kinds of accusations.
And don't get me wrong, I've sometmes questioned why the seeding is so random on PD when the solution is fairly easy, but your picture does nothing to say they are rigged.
I've seen 20 loss in a row on Just-Coin and you'd be stupid to say they are rigged.
You're gambling. You will lose.
People say, "The House Always Wins" for a reason.
Re-read my first post where I do say that the server seed can be pre-generated in such a way that it allows selective hashes. |

This is an interesting concept, but it doesn't relate just to PD, more like to anyone. I have noticed very strange losing streaks on some of the sites, like once I had 23 losses in a row with a chance of 1 in a gazillion.
However, do you have proof?
I cannot provide any concrete proof, aside from this picture and how this is not the only occurrence of this loss streak. A user MoFo on PD with an initial bet of less than 0.01 and doubling on each loss, he doubled his money all the way to over 5 bitcoins and lost that all on ~50/50 chance of a win which were around 10-15 losses. So while this may just come from the randomness that hashes are, it can also be due to selective hashes on server-side. I can't prove myself right 100%, but I don't think anyone can prove that it isn't happening. Primedice is rigged beyond belief in my opinion. I've played on all the main ones, primedice, coinroll.it and just-dice. I am down a couple coins on all of them but prime dice the losing streaks are INCREDIBLE. Literally last 5 sessions I have had 25% wins or WORSE on the 50.5%. Not kidding. Went 0/3 also on 90% when I tried it for more then a BTC. Avoid this site IMHO. Over 1000 rolls of 50.5 and my win/lose ratio is around .68 (should be .99). The odds of that based on sample size are very very low. By which username do you go on PrimeDice? |

Yes, they publish everything on their website and this does allow to verify actual bets, however I found something interesting.
We have three variables: secret, server seed, client seed. The client seed can be changed, however most don't bother to do it, and I believe this allows(and may even be exploited by the owners already) to do selective hashes.
Basically, the secret seed is a constant for 24hrs, the server seed is pre-generated before your next bet, it's the server seed that is the "weak" link. Basically they assume that the client seed WILL not be changed for the next bet based on user activity and then they pre-generate server seeds and select only those that would later hash to lower bets than your avg roll over number which is how they don't need to know what you are betting to roll over.
Nov 8 update
Even with their new layout, and "nonce", the server seed is still being used. If you can change the nonce every single bet to a random one, you can fix the problem, but the better solution yet would be for Stunna to remove the server seed entirely.
Sept 2014 update, locking thread as no longer relevant.

Not sure how the nonce or block hash would help. Block hashes are usually very large numbers, and the nonce can be anything between 0 to 2^32-1.

Why do you want to delete it?

For the promo code you need to enter your credit card details. Otherwise there's Paypal but then you can't enter the promo code.
Well that sucks... |

2.5 BTC to copy+paste code from the client? I would do it if I didn't think someone else would finish it first.
Basically. As long as it supports shares and would work with pools, that would be golden. And this bounty has been here all night, I thought it'd be done sooner xD. Right now, there is no established pooling protocol to follow. |

Elgius......
They get round to paying miners and owe one guy 25 BTC
so they pack it up and feed it into thier own system to be verified.
How about Slush... It does build the consensus about past transactions but it slows down the confirmations of new transactions.
It does slow down the confirmations eventually, but not until the next difficulty adjustment. The increase in confirmation time only lasts for 2 weeks (until the following difficulty adjustment). It slows down unconfirmed transactions. |
