Anything that has a guarantee rate of return above 5% I would be skeptical about.

Nothing has a guaranteed rate of return, not really. There are always risks involved.

And over what time period do you find over 5% unacceptable? Are you talking per annum?

I was able to sell 95 BTC worth of KHS in the past 9 hours and I wasn't even actively cancelling/updating the price.
Now I'm just waiting for those delicious KHS to reach my new buy orders  Grin

You should try to withdraw that 95 BTC, not buy more 'KHS' with them. 95 BTC is a decent chunk of change to be leaving in a scam. Get out while you still can.

Still only have 1 active connection. If this is the norm, CLAM looks more centralized then decentralized.

I just downloaded the 1.4.13 windows 64bit wallet and its syncing pretty fast, but its only connected to 1 active connection. This is after filling the clam.conf with a list of active nodes. What am I doing wrong?

Try adding this to clam.conf:

addnode=144.76.185.69:31174
addnode=199.233.246.224:31174

I personally think that visitor who will come to bitcasino from keyword "provably fair" and won't find relevant information, should be disappointed and won't come back to us.

They would find relevant information; they would find your lies: "bitcoino.io is provably fair". They probably wouldn't know enough to realise that it was a lie or to expose your lies since it seems that for most "provably fair" is a security blanket. They trust that others will have vetted the provable fairness and brought to light any deception or cheating. That's what I aim to do.

        // Attempt to connect to each IP for each addnode entry until at least one is successful per addnode entry
        // (keeping in mind that addnode entries can have many IPs if fNameLookup)


I get a bit lost in C++ code full of classes, vectors and BOOST_*, so I cannot confirm if the code actually does as I have presumed, however, even if it only uses the first IP, most DNS servers rotate multiple records in their reply, so the client would still use at least one random IP for each addnode.

It looks to me as if the code does what the comment says it will do: only connect to one IP address from each addnode entry. That should be enough though.

i deposited 20 bitcoins and managed to get back 13.91865035 from the whole ordeal. I should at the very least be reimbursed the 6.1btc

we have decided to give you a bonus of 6.1 BTC without any restrictions - again, this has nothing to do with the messages you have been writing about, this is simply a high roller bonus. We do give those once in a while to all high rollers.

Not even a winky-face? Are you seriously claiming that you just happened to give him a high roller bonus of exactly the amount he was asking for?

I can't help but feel this was handled badly.

2908  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin casino's that don't have cold storage proof on: July 29, 2015, 08:14:46 PM
In that case you really can't do anything. If you plan on playing with a big amount then why would you in the first place go play online at an unlicensed casino , instead of flying out for a few hundred dollars to a live casino which is going to be a much better experience than playing online.

I would rather not get on a plane every time I want to make a large bet! It's a 3 hour drive to the nearest airport for me, then there's all the hassle of checking in, waiting in line, sitting on a plane for hours. I'd also have to convert my money into some kind of fiat before the casino would let me buy chips, then convert it back again if I won. I think I prefer to keep playing online.

As for financial management, sites which don't accept investments might not have their holdings in bitcoin and might actually be converting fiat to bitcoin at the instant a high roller winner requests a cash out as holding onto bitcoin is not a good way for a casino to manage their house bankroll which might have been converted to bitcoin from fiat in the first place.

If your maximum payout is a certain amount of BTC then it is dangerous to keep your bankroll in fiat. The price of Bitcoin can change very quickly and could leave you unable to afford the maximum payout any more.

Suppose I'm offering a maximum payout of 100 BTC, and figure that since my games have a 10% house edge I'm able to support such a payout with a 1000 BTC bankroll. But then I decide to keep the money in USD. So I have $300k put aside as the site's bankroll. Then over the next few weeks the price of Bitcoin shoots up to $1000 each. My $300k is now only worth 300 BTC and the maximum payout now represents 30% of my bankroll. That's horrible bankroll management.

I guess I could regularly adjust the maximum payout such that it's always worth the same number of dollars, so that it always represents the same percentage of my dollar-denominated bankroll. And maybe that's what some of these places are doing: using Bitcoin more like it was Neteller - just a way of moving dollars around, rather than as a currency in its own right.
2909  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin casino's that don't have cold storage proof on: July 29, 2015, 08:02:12 PM
Do you really think that's a fair argument? it makes me wonder why you argue at all, where does you illogical bias come from?... Until I see you signature. Casino shill, this forum is so corrupted it's no wonder the casino's have got away with whatever they wanted until now.

It would help if we had an idea who you were replying to. Click the 'quote' button to quote the message you are answering. We all have casinos in our signatures, so that little hint doesn't help much...

Not all sure about proof of fair, will this make it if I can win more often  Huh Huh Huh Huh

actually not, i have played those provably fair slots, and I busted very soon, I think those shit slots have 10%-20% house edge, those non-provably fair slots of famous providers have 2%-7% house edge, much lower than those provably fair slots, provably fair slots just can show you the fairness, don't give your profits, which ones do you like?  Cheesy Grin

You can calculate the house edge of a provably fair slot. They're usually between 1% and 2%.

You can't calculate the house edge of a non-provably fair slot. You have to take the provider's word for it.

My point wasn't that these games are prettier, faster, more fun. My point was that at least 5 provably fair slots *exist* despite OP's claims.

Aha, I know your point, but my point is that people prefer playing funny, famous slots, although they are not provably fair cause in fiat world, casinos and players don't care about provably fair.

Try to follow:

OP was asked why his slots aren't provably fair.

He replied that it isn't possible to make provably fair slots games.

I countered by showing him 5 examples of provably fair slots games.

So now what is the reason?

Your argument that provably fair slots games are boring is moot, because provable fairness is independent of other features. So provable fairness could be added to a funny, famous slots game. So long as it actually was a fair game, and not cheating.

Btw, Are you really sure those provably fair slots have 1%-2% house edge? In real play, it is very very easy to bust the bankroll if play those slots.

Which of them have you played? As I say, it is possible to calculate the house edge.

On the contrary, the slots of big providers have prove their transparency since every big fiat casinos have those games, free spin, bonus round and huge jackpot are much better than provably fair slots.

Transparency isn't the same thing as popularity. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make there. You seem to have a bunch of unexpressed incorrect assumptions. Maybe all provably fair games are boring so far, but if so that's because nobody with the required skill to make an engaging game has made their game provably fair. That's not the fault of the technology.

Why not just do this? From a quick look at the source it seems the client will properly handle a DNS lookup with multiple A records in the reply.

addnode=seed.clams.xyz
addnode=clam.just-dice.com


What does it do with the multiple records? I guessed it would only use one of them for each addnode, but I could be wrong.

 http://blocktree.io/peers/CLAM/
  
   Shows currently active nodes.  Also the op lists some nodes.  Also there is a bootstrap file mentioned a page back by Dooglus.  That will get you up to speed quicker. 

Look up the IP address of seed.clams.xyz and clam.just-dice.com. They should both resolve to a list of IP addresses that are currently running CLAM nodes that are accepting incoming connections:

I recently had an issue with a casino I suspect to be underfunded, Is there any reason that bitcoin casino's can't prove funds with a cold storage address?

The biggest reason for them not proving their funds with a cold storage address is that they don't actually have the funds they claim to have.

They'll probably offer up all kinds of excuses but don't fall for it.
2915  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: 4Grinz Bitcoin Casino Official Thread on: July 29, 2015, 03:45:22 AM
Provably Fair is not a system that can be applied in a slot scenario. Anyone that makes such a claim is not only misguided, but misinformed.

Here are five different sites, not only making such a claim, but actually running provably fair slot games. So who is misguided and misinformed here?

1. https://houseofchance.net/



2. https://www.satoshislot.com/





3. https://bitcoinvideocasino.com/slots



4. https://bitzino.com/slots

Hello,
My user id : 1159974
When I type any built in commands in the chat box then nothing happen. Why all built in commands are disabled for me Huh?
Please, explain it !!! And solve it.

It looks like one of the mods muted you. I don't know what to do about it. I've tried talking to him about muting too many people. He says he'll stop, but never does. I think he's trying to do a good job, but muting customers for looking up the exchange rate of CLAM seems excessive.

Here's your chat in the hours leading up to the mute:

btw if use random.org its almost provably fair XD good luck all, btw this contest until sept is it.

Using random.org is fair, but not provably so, because there's no way of proving that you did it only once or that you're using the real random.org site.

You could video the draw multiple times and pick the one you like best, or you could modify your local DNS to make random.org go to your own rigged clone of random.org.

To be provably fair the unpredictability needs to be repeatable, so that everyone can independently verify it.

Maybe you were joking too. Your idea of "almost proof" should have given it away I guess.

Well my question is where can I buy CLAM and withdraw with no problems?

I always use poloniex. That's where the vast majority of on-exchange CLAM trading happens.

See http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/clams/#markets for a list of the exchange markets and their sizes.

SuperClam recently pointed me at a program called bitcoin-seeder. It spiders the Bitcoin p2p network to collect a list of peers that accept incoming connections, and it runs as a DNS server which produces a list of Bitcoin peer IPs. People run it on various servers, and the domain names of those servers are hard-coded into the Bitcoin client so that the client can find peers to connect to the first time it is run.

Until now the CLAM client has taken a simpler route - it has a hardcoded list of CLAM client IP addresses which it attempts to connect to. The problem with that is that clients go on and offline, change IP addresses, get full up, etc. and so it would be better to use the Bitcoin approach.

I modified bitcoin-seeder to spider the CLAM network. My changes are on the clam branch in my fork on github.

So now we need a few people to build and run that code on servers with high availability.

Code:
# grab a copy of the code
git clone https://github.com/dooglus/bitcoin-seeder.git

# change directory to where the code is
cd bitcoin-seeder

# switch to the CLAM version
git checkout clam

# build the program
make

# run the program
./dnsseed -h seed.DOMAIN -n DOMAIN

# enable the program to listen on port 53
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' dnsseed

where DOMAIN is the domain name for the server.

Then add a subdomain DNS record, type NS, for subdomain 'seed', pointing back to your domain.

Then looking up seed.DOMAIN should return a list of IP addresses for CLAM nodes.

If you get it up and running please tell me the domain name it's at and I'll add it to the CLAM client's list of seed nodes.

Dooglus, can you tell how much bandwith just-dice is taking per hour when you are in the chat tab? I assume its not so much but it might pile up.

Occassionally i have to use my smartphone internet and i didnt find a way yet to measure the bandwith usage per tab in firefox.

So can you give an estimate number for hourly bandwith usage?

Great question, as always.

I just lost the whole morning trying to figure out an answer. I was hoping that the socket.io module would provide a way of keeping track of bytes sent and received, but it doesn't appear to. Even worse, I don't think it would even be able to, because the data that goes over the websocket is compressed using the 'deflate' algorithm, and that happens transparently in the browser and isn't even visible to the application level. So with some code changes I could get the site to tell you how much data it is sending and receiving per hour, but that would be the uncompressed amount, which isn't what you care about when you look at your phone bill.

I don't have a good idea at all of the bandwidth usage, which is why I was hoping to be able to tell you "just type /bandwidth and it will tell you" - but I can't. Yet. If ever.

Also I guess the bandwidth usage would vary a lot depending on how many big bets are being made, and how much people are chatting.
