Something I also noticed:


Given that they offer 60 coin payouts for individual bets with a very small bank it makes this possibility more concerning. This all goes without saying that giftcoins was unethical in stealing actual design files from PD that were unreleased, not just images. I will post more about that in the near future.

Site looks pretty slick, any plans to extend/adjust the period beyond 60 seconds? Like can I place a bet that gold will move higher over the next 24 hours rather than 60 seconds.

Cheers

Sorry for not posting here,

MedUSA , BDT_michael and were chosen as winners and contacted via PM. Prize was split between them. Great work and thanks to everyone who entered.

I'm having them make a few changes tonight to finalize their concepts to better fit us and will post the final ones here when complete.

I've sent you a PM answering your question. He himself has no interest in arguing with me as we are both personally aware of what he has done.


Also your logic is horribly distorted. I posted my reply below, if you'd like to reply with more off-topic posts I will not respond to them further, my PM is open to continue discussion regarding this as I've stated many times.

It absolutely is the firm's fault for not securing the files properly and allowing untrustworthy people to access the files. That doesn't change the fact that he abused the situation to his advantage through bribery or coercion. It is important to note that these files weren't just leaked to the public, only a small group of designers had access to them.


I will be ignoring further comments regarding this as I don't want to give them further attention. If you want to discuss this feel free to send me a PM.

The ~20 BTC is for the money I had paid the firm for design work, he stole 20BTC worth of files. There is zero motivation for me to needlessly sling around mud, new dice sites appear daily and I applaud many of them. If you want to continue this conversation you can do so with me via PM.

He knew because that same firm had designed the website Giftcoins for him and he is related to one of the firm's designers. That is why I was so confused when he posted a thread titled PD 3! I thought it was our designer posting a teaser, not a thief.

Anyways, I'd like to keep conversation on-topic. The most important thing I can do is stay focused on perfecting PD3 rather than trying to shame someone.

If you had both paid for a design and spent a significant of time working with designers on it and someone was able to bribe said designers for the ACTUAL physical design files and make use of them, how would you feel? I'm happy that you made a nice profit, that doesn't change the fact that what they did to me was unethical and pretty much downright scamming as I had paid significant amounts and put significant effort into those files. I had messaged the owner as far as a month ago asking him to kindly not use the stolen files which he did not listen to, these types of people are relentless and driven by greed and shouldn't be trusted in my opinion. When he posted this thread originally titled "PD3!" I originally thought it was our designer posting it as a joke and was confused at first, I did not expect this though.

As you said, I have a great site and we have many fantastic competitors such as ED,JD,CR,SD who push us to innovate and work harder and many people who have ripped off our design which is perfectly fine as I understand that you can't keep someone from stealing your released content. The fact that they managed to steal private files that did not belong to them and make use of it is just extremely unethical, you cannot deny that fact.

I'm not interested in debating this fact further and giving them further attention, I've reached out to the owner many times in the past about ceasing this and was ignored. I am just sharing my experience, take it as you will. I have shared what I wanted to and will stop posting here regarding this and giving them further undeserved attention.

It probably isn't, I doubt someone who abuses trust and steals files would make an ethical decision regarding provably fair. Given a short exchange with the owner, he thinks it is also alright to operate on a max profit of 60 coins with what appears to be personal holdings of 100 coins or less (maybe less than 60). If you want to mess around with their faucet, it seems like a pretty solid deal, I wouldn't trust them with my own money though.

You don't understand the situation, he bribed a designer who worked for the firm I hired to hand over our physical design files. This isn't a case of copying but rather theft. I enjoy competition, I do not appreciate being scammed for the money and time I put into those files though.


Since everyone has been waiting so long it would be wrong of me to release something that wasn't up to the standards I've set for this.

Yeh counters will stay the same.

We will probably not reset accounts either, but we're not sure at this current moment.

We just keep coming up and implementing more and more ideas (Without over complicated the simple aspect of dicing) to ensure a completely new, unique and superior experience for PD users!

The point I'm getting at is this isn't just suspicious/shady behavior in itself. The reason why I posted this was because 999Dice claimed to have a bank of 3000 coins and was taking large bets and then left bitcointalk when myself and tomatocage asked for proof. If people choose to use the site I won't stop you, but it is important to warn others to prevent a potential future scam.

Didn't see the minimum bid, just consider that above post a free bump. 

0.1BTC

This bid is void unless you've Pm'd theymos in advance as he noted to you in the last auction.


Regardless, 3 @ 1.8

First thing you said reminds me of:

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me."

I'm not going to give you advice who you should and should not deal with, but if you have this attitude nobody will have any sympathy for you if you get scammed. It is insulting to the people who did get scammed when you act this way.

3 Brand new accounts with zero previous posts defending the site all at once. Do you expect me to value your opinion? The fact of the matter is the owner lied about having a large amount of funds and then left bitcointalk after being exposed, is that the sort of operation people should trust? The owner lied about having funds he did not possess and used these to try and artificially boost his reputation. We also have reason to believe that he is a persistent scammer from this community named jake.

Two of those accounts right above this post were created within 1 minute of eachother today, the other within 10-15 mins of the others. This only makes you look worse. Thanks for reminding us all how much of a scam you are.

Certainly not a bad idea, keeping track of this could be a bit difficult though.

We've been encountering quite a few bugs particularly with PVP that we are working on ironing out before launching. Something I'm thinking about adding is a "Streak" feature on the auto-bet tool. I've noticed tons of players that will bet 0BTC many times until they reach a loss streak of 3-5 in a row or so. With the streak option this could be done automatically. This doesn't quite change the odds but I know a lot of people still feel more comfortable by fulfilling certain superstitions.

On another note, there's been a massive delay on launching this. I firmly believed it would have been ready for late January. please bear with us while we try and perfect this for your enjoyment!

I voiced my concerns on their previous thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=573939.msg6268679#msg6268679

The design change is an improvement but I still recommend proceeding with caution with regards to investments, I haven't spoken up in the past on other sites which I now regret.
