201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin dice sites with lowest house edge in 2017 on: February 09, 2017, 09:36:31 PM

By leveling up, getting Rake Back & Loss Back with our Progressive Jackpot you can lower House Edge to the 0.85%

And do not forget that only on BitDice you can win up to 100BTC with single bet!

202  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE CASINO - CONGRATULATIONS TO WONTON FOR WINNING 300BTC on: February 06, 2017, 09:52:52 PM

Doctor was won around 500BTC in Bitdice (More than this winning) on 2 years ago or so.

I did not know BitDice is already 2 years old. Was it on same website or that was renewed?
Oh, it was at Dec 2, 2015 when alex posted it (It should be around 1 year+). Here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1273407.0
Yes, it's Bitdice. It was happened when Bitdice still at V3

Mathematically Wonton's 300btc is bigger than Doctor's 500btc. Doctor won it on December 2015 when the price of bitcoin was around $ $350-450, equal to $175,000-225,000 while Wonton won 300btc last month when the price was around $800-950 = $240,000-285,000.
Both winnings were still great amount though and good thing is that both were legit winnings on legit site. Bitdice is rock...

Thanks we are doing our best Smiley

Small update as it's been quite a while.. Stay tuned, we are going to beta-test new game soon, plus few cosmetic fixes will be added with next update, which should split the site completely for authorized users and guests, providing better speed and faster site load. We should also fix an issue when Safari users in incognito mode weren't able to use the site. ( We had to change authorization system back to cookie based as Safari doesn't save localstorage cookies in incognito mode preventing users from sign in )

Seems you are so interested in escrow?

But the problem is How can I trust  escrow?

We will sign a message with our cold storage address.

Awesome! Yeah, don't use escrow. Just sign a message like:

"bankroll for gooddice.us Jan-25-2017"

from an address that has the money, and it should be sufficient =)

I think there's just small Chinese's misunderstanding between BTC and mBTC Cheesy

SITE UPDATE 11 JANUARY


Guys, we are now allow to create account without email. We see that there's a demand for it, as some users still prefer to create new accounts and they have a problem creating new email for each new on-site account.

Those no-email accounts are limited, of course you do not have any email notifications, nor withdraw confirmation, you can't get Rakeback  (LossBack and BetBack bonuses) on such accounts, but they are perfect for fast play and run Smiley

[NEW] Create accounts without email.
[FIX] Fixed several JavaScript issues in various browsers.

207  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BitDice Casino Campaign Manager BoXXoB refrains from paying. on: January 11, 2017, 06:30:25 PM
Hey Joel_Jantsen,

Sad to hear that you are having a problem with the campaign. I agree with you that it double how you understand If we see that you've posted on the last few days before payday, you wont be paid term of not posting during the last days, however, I do believe that you agree that half of the posts can fall under that criteria.

The reason why we have this rule is that we want that our signature under your profile was seen as much as possible, to make it happen, you need to post everyday, thus we can reach wider audience rather if you post at the last day, when only people that are online during that period will see it. Box is trying to maximize our benefits of this ad campaign. These are very strict rules, I agree.  

Can you email me details on when (if) he first time warned you about it, whether you previously did it, I will review and discuss it with Box. My email is contact@bitdice.me.

Regards,
Alex.

Guys,

Consider the current problems and to allow Box correctly manage campaign I've to add a new rule: The campaign manager reserves the right to refuse payment at his discretion.

Please take this is a job, as some users earn $400 per month, and our rules is a form of contract. We try to do our best, to manage it correctly, but you need to take it professionally, we buy an ad on the forum with your signatures, and it should pay back. It's possible when those signatures a normally dispersed across payment period, not in one day, or few hours. We do not forbid you to chat on the forum and make hundreds of posts per hour, however, those will be counted as one, and you have to provide your signature space and make qualified posts later.  

I do understand that it's hard, and not convenient, however, our rates are the highest, and that's how it is. Box is also a very friendly manager and tries to solve in PM every case, do not hesitate to speak with him if you have any issues, but BEFORE the payday.

Thank you all,
Alex.

As we power several other websites, it is important that we have a stable platform. Here is a breakdown of our infrastructure. Note that this has absolutely nothing to do with optimizing code, but rather providing a redundant environment for our architecture.

3x Load Balancers
2x Web Servers
2x API servers
2x Socketpot Servers
2x Database Servers (Master / Slave configuration for redundancy)
2x Coin Servers (one active, one maintaining chainstate in the event that it needs to be promoted)
1x Dev environment
1x Staging environment

We also have to account for cloudflare, backups, bandwidth, and other related expenses.

Im not going to go further into the specifics of our infrastructure configuration, but you can see that we take our infrastructure seriously. This has nothing to do with optimizing code.

Thanks for the detailed answer, that's pretty cool that you have such infrastructure and explains the running costs. Wish we could start from it. I'm sorry for messing in your thread.

Regards,
Alex.
212  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🌟🎲🌟 MoneyPot.com on: December 27, 2016, 06:59:52 PM
Alex, you are incorrect. The difference is that the big wins on BitDice and BetKing came from players risking a significant amount of Bitcoin, whereas the big wins on MoneyPot primarily occurred from users betting what is essentially dust. One of our largest investors pulled out specifically citing this has his biggest beef.

I understand you are also salty that a large portion of your userbase switched to MoneyPot (primarily Bit-exo.com), but you need to refrain from trolling.

Actually, I've never trolled anyone on the forum. Even with BitExo situation, which I think you are aware of, I decided not to start a storm in a teacup, and I have all the rights to do it. You do agree that for business owners only wager counts, not people being online? Let's forget it, I really do not care about it.

I've left my comment with another reason. I rarely participate in discussions as unfortunately, I do not have time to be on the forum. But when I strongly disagree - I think I have a right to left such comment. People are free to accept or deny it or discuss. The least I wanted with it is a brag like we or someone else is better. Based on MP's stats I really do not understand why parties who risks the most earns the less. In economic terms risks always pays out. And if that investor would be paid based on his risk, I think he wouldn't divest, but again HE of 0.1 and even 0.5% is too low for all participants.

Regards,
Alex.

If you're not trolling, you are stating on a public forum under your public company's image bold facts that you are writing and believe to be true.  We would like to challenge you on this.

We are not bragging or using any statistics to take a shot at you.   You claimed that our costs are almost non existent and we are explaining to you why.  

For business income, yes, wagering/volume is the most important factor, but we have explained (even in the post that you quoted) that our high number of bets is a big reason for our high costs.

I honestly believe and could make a great argument for why out of all the parties, Moneypot takes the most risk.  

It's probably best that you don't participate in discussions often.  I think it's quite foolish as the head of an official company to write damaging statements in public that you are not well informed of.



I was thinking that my comment was a part of a discussion on your business model, and even suggestion to optimize it. Never thought it was "damaging". Seems you over-reacting and rather than explain and discuss you attack.

Regards,
Alex.

I'd consider attacking posting damaging bold statements that you haven't researched into.  I have made no mention of your site other than giving you an idea of scale of our bets. 

Other than that, I am trying to contact your 'public' company that seems to only be an e-mail.  There is no actual gaming license, and you're flat out refusing to disclose any information other than what your e-mail is.  I'm not really understanding what your 'public' company is if there doesn't seem to be anything behind it.

 In a hypothetical situation, if you run away with the funds, one might believe that our only course of action would be to contact your e-mail from what I currently understand.



Taking into account this: http://prntscr.com/dok6np, you do not need to be a genius to see that's something isn't right. I've got that you database is big, and you have staff, this explains your commission. However you could simply tell it, and not attacking me.

You are asking details, which of course we do not provide upon request. If you do really want to play that game, first, you need to be a legal entity to even start something, as private person with a site can not start a defamation case. Second, you need to ask your legal team to at least qualify my words to actual or assumed damages and third prove that I'm wrong or otherwise it can back-hit you in court.

Regarding your adds, we have to disclose to the official government authorities to prevent tax evasion ( and you can not incorporate otherwise ), not to a private person.

Now, can we chill out, as I'm not going into it anymore?

Regards,
Alex.

We have several thousand dollars of infrastructure with cost ever increasing

Then you need to optimize code, as it's way over normal price, even if you use whole AWS stack and not dedicated servers which are like x10 lower in running costs.

217  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🌟🎲🌟 MoneyPot.com on: December 27, 2016, 05:34:26 PM
I do not see the point in limiting maximum multiplier to 9900x , other dice sites allow multiplier of up to 990000x (for example betking).
You probably should ask investors at what kelly they want to use its nicely implemented at new dice site.

New changes will prevent big percentage of bankroll to be won at once however it will also limit growth rate.



We will soon be allowing users to choose their own kelly multiplier.

Investors have expressed a strong disinterest in backing bets where they risk several bitcoin to win 1 Bit and many other similar scenarios.  

Huge jackpot wins often lead to unwarranted speculation and panic.  Big wins also sometimes result in big investors pulling out which causes a domino effect of more investors pulling out.

Moneypot also accrues high expenses for processing and storing all the bets.  

In the end, it just doesn't make sense to allow for high multipliers.  It's much easier for many of the parties involved to just keep it simple.


You are wrong here. None of the investors from BitDice or BetKing when there were huge wins pulled out, they did exactly opposite - invested more. And we are talking of wins from 500-1000BTC, not 100.

Mathematically there's no difference between very low chance multiplier and very high ones for casino ( and investors ) in the long run.

What you had wrong is very low HE and huge cut on investors. No wonder they aren't satisfied as MP has economically inadequate terms biased for owners who risk nothing and staff who do "close to" nothing ( you do not do marketing, and have no costs except staff )

Alex.
218  Economy / Gambling / Re: Hack Into BitDice And Get 1BTC! on: December 22, 2016, 04:05:08 PM
Yes it only seems they have email authentication system like few sites and specially blockchain and yobit have right now. However that simple process can add great security feature to any platform.

The security should be a given. At the very least there should be email authentication.

But there is also no point to remove it from that account, by keeping that 1 btc in that account and giving username password combo they are trying to attract more users to play in their platform which i have never seen done by any other gambling platform before.

Are you stupid? Who would even know the difference? This is just to advertise their security. Keeping a bitcoin in the account is completely pointless. Though, even if they did keep the bitcoin in there they could just simply block all withdrawal/tip requests from the account.



Yeah, I suppose its not really a "promo" per se and is designed to show off the security features of the site. However, the 1 BTC reward acts as a bounty if someone did manage to get in the account. Nobody would know if they removed it unless someone managed to get into the account. While unlikely, it is possible someone manages to find a bug or something. There is really no reason for them to prematurely remove the 1 BTC either. I'm sure after a certain length of time has passed, they will publicly state they are removing it if no one was successful in accessing it.

And you're rewarding someone that exploits security flaws? Roll Eyes
The only real reason you might want to keep funds in there is in case there /are/ flaws - someone who exploited them would probably withdraw the bitcoins and then you can close and investigate the site.

... but why go through the trouble of "purchasing" insurance when in reality you can just remove the 'reward' and monitor the account activity (with IP connections)? And it's also more likely that if someone found a security vulnerability, they would go after whales instead of a measly 1 BTC.



Even if they did remove it, all you need to do is to show the screenshot of yourself manage to get into the account and they will still credit your account with 1 btc given that they havent end this event yet however pretty sure that they wont end it , just showcassing this actually give the site some credibility

Why would they bother crediting someone?

... and in the case of screenshots as proof, I'll leave it at this: Photoshop has existed for a very long time.



Wtf. So you have 2FA? That's your big gimmick as to why I should gamble with you? This is poor at best. A lot of people use the same passwords everywhere even h they know they shouldn't, so this isn't saying you have good security, it's just that you have 2FA. It's good, but if the email password is the same it's useless.

And people would find out the email how exactly? Keep in mind that both email authentication and 2FA are possibilities for security reinforcement on the site - email is just on by default. And hey, if the email password is the same... then that's the user's fault.

I will answer you directly, as you continue to say that I've removed 1BTC from the account. Just a rhetoric question, do you always think people are lying to you?

User hack_me has 1 BTC on a balance, I did not remove it, nor I will remove it. There are no locks on withdrawal or tips, or rain. Only DEFAULT settings for each and every other users on our website. If by anyway, you will be able to get in, you will be able to withdraw it instantly. The reason it is there because I said so and actually credited him 1BTC. I do not care anymore about that 1 BTC as it has been spent on marketing. So unless you want to say I'm lying, I'm asking you to stop spreading misleading comments.

Regarding general security on BitDice. As Steven already replied, it's more a marketing event, we show users that they are safe EVEN when they do not care about it. And no, email isn't a single point of failure as users can set actual 2FA, IP Lock, and Address Lock. You can not remove nor sign in without turning off 2FA or IP lock even if you have access to the email.

Alex
