I think this is a great idea for a giveaway because it encourages play!  Clever one PD team.

I have two questions.  First, I read upthread that the bet has to win, is this correct, so it is not a risk free bet, it is like a bonus bet?

Second, for the eligibility do you have to have BOTH .25 wagered and 50 activity or is it enough to have only ONE of those two things.  I ask because lots of newbie accounts are claiming or "reserving" a spot and they wont make it if both of those need to be satisfied!  (and they certainly wont make 100 activity)

Finally, I'll RESERVE this spot in case I make it! 

Thanks for a great site and giveaway!

Even if it is just a franchise this is outstanding visibility for bitcoin.  I'm sure lots of people who visit Burger King have never heard much about bitcoin and so to see it being accepted in a mainstream outlet is a good thing!

I think Trump has surpassed all expectations.  It was fun going and looking at some of the early posts here.  A lot of people were surprised but with two wins in Trump is easy favorite to win nomination.

Have to agree though, don't see how Trump beats Clinton or Sanders, though it will at least be a fun campaign to watch.

Once the news shifts from the block size and potential forking, assuming that gets locked down, and shifts to the block reward reduction coming this summer I think not only will this level be sustained but we may even move higher.

I always thought x100 offsite was a pretty extreme amount of leverage and remember being surprised at the time that you initially went with that.  I think it makes sense to reign it in, especially since people claim to have offsite many more times clams than can possibly exist.  I appreciate you taking time to explain your thinking.  Thank you.

I always like rooting for players so never utilized offsite so that any wagering gains/losses were dwarfed by staking.  One thing this change does do is increase my de facto exposure to players.  It's cool, I'm not upset, but I wonder if this will give further impetus to staking pools.

My big unanswered question is how does this effect clam?  While that shouldn't be your focus, it is an interesting question.  Will people buy more clam in an effort to increase their exposure that is now lost, or does it now make owning clam less attractive since you can't get x100 leverage on it at JD?

Thanks for a great site!

Received!  Thanks again for the really fun and low stress giveaway.  Stuff like this really cements primedice as one of the premier dice sites.

Kudos on the addition dooglus.  It showed up with no issues for me.  I still hope you'll think about an exchange.

Regarding the two threads in this topic relating to JD, would it make sense to close one of them or relabel the one that is geared towards for "investors"?

Thanks and good luck!

I was wondering what was going on.  This is really a nice thing to do and makes chat a lot more happening.  I like the efforts, especially by Zoltan, to not rain on spammers and the effort made to prevent people from gaming the system.

Thanks and good luck, great mods are one of the things that make PD such a great site.

This was the first thing I thought of as well.  Maybe not an all time high, but at least a nice move up from the ~300 - 400 range we saw in 2015.

Good Luck everyone!

Thanks for such a low stress give away!!!

Thank you again!

Hi curious!  

First and most importantly congratulations on your clam windfall.  I'm jealous, no lie.  I'm impressed you kept all your faucet milking addies funded long enough to catch the clams!

I do have a question, if you didn't have a clamcoin wallet how did you dig your clams?  I had figured you already had your gazillion coins in your wallet already.

Unlike others I think you've played it pretty well.  I think many who were confronted with such a windfall would have just driven price down with massive selling, especially once dooglus figured out what was going on.

Also, I'm surprised no one has invited you to Dooglus's Just Dice.  If you are ever lonely or bored show up there with 100 clams and "rain" them out to the gamblers in chat.  They will go apeshit and claim you are the greatest.  Too bad Klye's gone, you could be immortalized like so many other high rollers there by his "ART".  (Klye's art is NSFW.)

Congratulations again!

Up until you took that snapshot dooglus this has all just been a discussion.  However, the act of taking that snapshot was an action and Evil does a great job laying out the problem.  You've now created pools of potential (and potential is the key word, another coin may not be created, even if one is you may not use that snapshot) haves and have nots.  I agree that was how clam did it, but given that all this has flowed from how clams were initially distributed, and there are other problems, e.g. getting my coins off exchanges, maybe that is not the best path to replicate.

I still think the best path is weathering the storm of the dig whale and working to make clam stronger and more accepted, JD is a great foundation, but it can't continue to be the only real reason to own clam.

However, if that is not possible because "no one will ever buy clam with the dig whale out there slowly selling for months to come", I don't have any real problem with another coin.  I think it's a fine idea.  New coins are created every day and it might be nice for one to have a built in user base and have been carefully considered.  However, as many others have noted, you may want to consider a "swap" or a "burn" or an IPO as the initial distribution method.  

I think taking a surprise snapshot in the middle of the discussion is why things have taken a bit of a nasty turn both here and in JD chat.  Obviously, I think thoughtful consideration is a good thing and appreciate you trying to foster that with your posts and recaps which I have found excellent.

As with most internet chats, I think you should ignore the people on JD chat who don't want you to share your thinking with the community.  You are one of the sanest, most trusted and intelligent people out there.  Thanks.

Since I don't think the rules should be changed at this point I guess I'm also opposed to having a vote on changing the parameters for the coin.

Also, doesn't this help the dig whale?  Didn't he dig his coins as soon as he imported his btc/ltc/doge wallets into the clam client?

Also, curtailing digging would seem to work strongly against clam adoption.  If the coin is ever going to be more than a JD token, and I like JD a lot, it seems that the ability for people to get their free clams should be preserved.

Maybe that is a solution, dooglus forks clam and the ownership is one doogcoin per clam that is visible to the network.  Clam can go on to maybe become successful via future adoption, and everyone's doogcoins increase in value as people flock to invest and play on JD.

I'm sure that's nuts, but it doesn't require a vote nor changing the rules for the coin.

Regardless, thanks and good luck.

So is the leading theory still that it is someone who lost ddos'ing the site?  Stunna came into chat and said he moved to a bigger server.  I guess the bad guys went bigger too.

I actually saw oldmate in chat briefly yesterday.  He posted two cryptic messages.  I thought it was someone trolling at first but the account had the black investor trophy so it was him, or at least someone on his account.

Maybe there is hope for this site after all.

Major props to Roc and professor for the welcome!

Like the look of the site, would like to be able to put in win chance % though backwards engineering it from the multiple has it's own charms.

As others have pointed out, this information is easily accessible.  Still, I guess it is as legitimate a poll as any.

Obvious likes
• clean interface 
• you can chat and play at the same time, i.e. don't have to go to a different tab.
• Some mods are really great and keep things interesting
• Your efforts with contests like this to promote the site
• Levels to reward players

Suggestions
• Can you get rid of the box around chat comments?  It takes up a lot of space, especially when chat is moving fast.
• The max bet limit confuses some people.

I also like that this contest looks at the merit of posts rather than quickest to post given the huge number of alts and account farming that goes on here.  Even if you disqualify me because of activity, thanks for the opportunity to comment.

Thanks!

Thanks for that scabby chart!  I was on the site during his run and it was really impressive until it blew up.

Thanks also for posting the picture of the cam girl.  In chat, everyone was accusing her of not knowing how to spell, I think scabby even changed his name to scabby-winnere but looking closely now I see the misspelling with the extra e is really an @ and the chat was being a bit unfair to the cam girl.

thanks for the giveaway and a nice looking site!

EDIT:  Site seems very slow and very ambitious.  The built in faucet is nice to try a hand, but I waited quite awhile for my cards to appear after clicking bet.
