If anyone's into whale-watching, Finand is performing live. In his latest run, he's worked his way up 20 BTC in profit and still counting! 10:23 cowbay: !med 100 10:23 Shiba: Median over last 100 games: 2.835x
He really picked the perfect time to whale too.. You can see his impact on the last datapoint to site profit:

I've watched other games with bitcoin but for me this game is the most interesting, because a "Social Game" You can play with other people and we can still see the graphic that contains the value of won and lost bets.
Thanks! Today we've also fixed the slight lag issue when chatting, and removed the starry background from the black theme (just too much CPU burn to justify it). Enjoy!

Yeah sorry, the forum is down. I'll remove it today anyway, it wasn't getting much use other than spam

Just hit 94,000 BTC wagered! Only 6,000 more to go until we give a few coins back to the community =)
Keep it coming!

I registered once (and didn't rly use), but it seems I cannot login now. I highly doubt my pass is wrong although it could be saved wrong since the bustabit switch. Another reason could be cuz I have a lot of special characters in my pass, sounds unlikely since MP seems to be coded properly, but I have had this frequently on other sites before.
Anyway, the "forgot password" doesn't seem to send an e-mail, is that just me? My username is already registered (I tried to reg again) so I do really already have an account. Can you have a look RHavar pls? Thnx.
Ha. Funnily enough, just yesterday we thought enough time had passed and removed the banner telling people that old accounts are on bustabit.com So if you registered back when the curve game (bustabit) was called MoneyPot your account is still safe on bustabit.com The MoneyPot and Bustabit system are completely isolated, so if you haven't registered an account on MoneyPot yet you'll need one here too.

There's still an issue with MiniDice's thumbnail by the way
Sorry, I didn't see this till now. What was the issue there, or it's been resolved? BTW we've now reached the milestone of 1,000 BTC wagered, and almost 150 BTC invested. Some great new apps launched, some great apps still going, and some more to come!

Thanks for the free bits, but I'm getting this error message "Bankroll too small" when I tried to bet 1bits with 1000x multiplier. What does it mean? What is the maximum win in a single bet?
Assuming a 1% house edge, you should be able to win a net profit of ~1.5 BTC. I haven't looked into this particular casino, so I'm not really sure what they're doing =)

Anyway, if i remember correctly from his thread, he claims that he won coins fair and square, and now you are accusing him on hacks because you dont want to take the loss.
He admits in the thread he never wagered a thing, and then applies some backwards logic on why it's fair.

The popular chat command !crash has been renamed to !bust, and while you're adjusting, make sure to try our historical streak tool: Ryan: !streak > 2 Shiba: Seen 22 streak in games #444395-#444416: 2.50x, 3.87x, 3.15x, 5.99x, 26.04x, 13.64x, 2.13x, 8.54x, ...

Didn't see that one coming, what a fortunate ending. Rather slimy of the guy to try drag BTC-E 's name through the dirt when they weren't doing anything but being good citizens.

Thanks FanEagle, it's always great hearing positive feedback like that =)

There's probably some fancy cryptographic ways to do it that has a trustless drawing, but I'd probably just go with a simple provably fair scheme such as: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1084670.msg11576333#msg11576333and make some awesome tooling for people to verify and use. Since the game is provably fair, there would be nothing wrong with you dumping a lot of your own money into the game (knowing you'll win most games), although it may take longer to build up some trust. Or one way to kick-start the whole process would be to build all the tooling which easy for people (especially the escrow) to run/verify and then find someone very trusted (e.g. dooglus) to escrow the funds and payout at each drawing

The new beta layout is now the default! The old one can still be accessed at bustabit.com/play-old for anyone wanting a bit of nostalgia.
More improvements incoming!

Great job! Impressive milestone there. You've just become the #1 most wagered at app on MoneyPot. Can't wait to see what you do next, as you guys have a super bright future! Probably the best betting bot I've seen, and responsive devs. Keep up the excellent work.

You really need to do more than just change the client seed, you have to verify the outcome and the hash. Ideally what we'd see is some browser plugins that do the whole process for us, and we can verify the code of the plugin.

Impressed by your launch. In less than 1 day, already got 6 BTC wagered! I think you've really struck a chord with this one. A few more features (like seeing other peoples bets), a bit more color in the UI and I think you've got a major hit on your hands!

I'm really enjoying this, I think even more so than dice. That 10 seconds of feeling nervous and stressed... =)

Actually it looks pretty easy to make provably fair. For each round, have an address which all bets go to. Each round should end at a certain block #number.
At the block #, count how many satoshis were received at to the round address. Then define n to be: (block_hash % amount_of_satoshis_sent) + 1. Now who ever sent the nth satoshi to the address (as defined by blockchain-order) is the winner. The prize pool gets sent back to the sending address.
For people who use a shared-wallet, you could build a forwarding-service without complicating the provably-fair system.
Potential attacks against this scheme would be a miner using block-discarding, however as shown in another thread somewhere it would be mind-boggling expensive. Unless the prize pool has thousands of bitcoins, it's not worth worrying about

Thanks for the link. Just saw it for the first time. It seems a very nice approach for new sites to be bankrolled from the start. Maybe more developers and already existing sites should move in with them, and have a common bankroll. But wouldn't they be taking a risk if a developer plays against the bank ?
Nope, because not even the app knows what the outcome will be. We only give the casino enough information to verify we're not cheating (a provably fair scheme that can, and should be checked after each bet) but they don't know the outcome until after they bet. So MP (and its investors have no risk of a bad casino)

This is exact rehash of: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=993365.0If you believe primedice to rigged, you should use the provided tools to prove it. Or debunk the provably fair if you find any holes in it. Otherwise this whole thing is a waste of time.
