I see many people including me are not happy with the house edge of the hi-lo games, I wonder why wetsuit is not considering to reduce it a little bit or even better reduce it like usual dice game (1%). I think it will be a great movement for them and many of their user or new user will not so worry to play hi-lo games with their own deposit.


because they are not the regular dice gambling site,they are a faucet+dice+lottery+more
to cut house edge to 1% would see the site lose to much of its profit
and it will be hard to compete with the likes of bitsler or primedice anyways
would ahve been nice,of course,but very unlikely to happen

it would be good if you added 1337 coin , ember coin , B3 coin , etc....

Are those really good coins to be added on a gambling site? I have only heard about 1337 coin but as I know it has so low volume and I think it wont worth to add as there might be only small numbers of people who are going to gamble with that altcoins. Better to stick on the most popular altcoins such as ETH, LTC, XMR, etc.

he chose some real crapy coins,you can check them out at coinwarz,the market caps are low
think there wil lbe not much demand outside of the top ten most popular gambling currencies
if you catch the trend,like the early ETH adopter sites,you can get many new players
other than that-have a look at crypto-games and their choice of coins,IMHO the ones needed are all there

current captcha system is too bad.

you can change captcha if you want to
but seriously? there is nothing worse than Google captcha for me at the moment
on my PC it takes at least 5-6 tries to complete and I have to be logged out of all Google accounts to even be able to
because otherwise it just gives the neverending "bad captcha" loop
and this crap started a couple of months ago and can't be fixed whatever I tried,bar reinstalling Windows,of course
It's not only you having problems with Google's ReCaptcha, it's more of a general problem.

yes,I'm not that unique,lol
this is annoying as hell when you are unable to login to  a site or exchange that uses recaptcha
for all the users who are experiencing difficulties completing recaptcha-I found one trick to have it back to "normal" aka 1-3 tries
start Chrome in incognito mode and the problems are gone
sometimes it is working,sometimes it doesn't but worth trying nevertheless

the thing is that in order to claim the coins you will have to sweep/export your private keys anyways
so if it is their software,just make sure your coins are elsewhere safe
none in his right mind should risk and sweep keys with coins in the wallet
them private mining is only rumours,very well can be true
but the amount of mined coins can be establish upon the main net launch- total minus their "official" premine
so I guess they are trying to weed the bugs out,since they are behind the schedule

BTG just announced replay protection

Bitcoin Gold Daily Update – Replay Protection fully implemented
Nov 1, 2017 | Development
In order to ensure the safety of the Bitcoin ecosystem, Bitcoin Gold has implemented full replay protection, an essential feature that protects users’ coins from being spent unintentionally.
Bitcoin Gold has just implemented a solution called SIGHASH_FORK_ID replay protection. It is an effective two-way replay protection mechanism that enforces a new algorithm to calculate the hash of a transaction so that all new Bitcoin transactions will be invalid on Bitcoin Gold blockchain and vice versa. This makes replaying transactions impossible.
https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/pull/109
What is a transaction replay?
In the context of a Bitcoin fork, a replay happens when a transaction is valid on both sides of the fork. So a transaction can be broadcast on both chains after the fork and be a valid transaction and confirm on both. This means that if you intend on sending coins on one fork, you could accidentally end up sending your coins on the other fork as well since someone else could take your transaction and replay.
What is a replay protection?
Replay protection is a safety feature that makes sure that transactions on one chain are invalid on the other chain, thus preventing transaction replay and the possible resulting loss of funds. Replay protection can be achieved in multiple ways; anything from having a blacklisted address or output type (e.g. if an output to address X is in the transaction, consider it invalid) to changing the signature scheme to changing the transaction format entirely.


https://bitcoingold.org/replay-protection-development/



ok,so they are finally getting there,lets see if this replay protection of theirs is live
and oh,how about letting people claim their coins already,its November the 3rd here
I can't find any instructions on how to for any wallet or explanation or manuals
except for the list of supported wallets and exchanges

3048  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: DoubleVPN.com - qualitative VPN Service for serious and successful people! on: November 02, 2017, 10:40:27 AM
Sup guys!
Are you offering any money back guarantees? I might need a VPN for specific gaming needs (or just check if I will have any lags with multy double package) and not all services are working properly.
Are you including the dedicated IP to your standart package? The normal price is kinda too high but if dedicated IP is included then it might worth it.

Hello. We don't make moneybacks. Dedicated IPs cost extra 10$/month each. The price is rather high because we work on ourselves and we don't receive money from any third parties. Your can read a talk about price on page #1 of this topic.

just checked on your prices: 255$ for nine countries and two simultaneous connections for 6 months
its a single VPN price tag,with no dedicated IP!
510$ a year sounds like a pretty unreasonable price tag,when most of the companies offer
multiple servers for under 100$ a year,granted their IP's are not the best ones to use but to pay 400$ extra....
you must revauate your price policy,imho

this would discourage and limit the audience of the forum and you would be throwing the baby with the bath water doing so
3050  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCHEAT.COM IS ONLY A HOAX? on: November 02, 2017, 02:51:13 AM
Why do you keep  playing in faucet ? you will earn nothing , maybe 1 or 2 $ per month, this crazy its just nothing !  i advise you to choose another website  because with this kind of website you will earn nothing for sure!
just like i said on my previous post that they are offering free spins for new register not from the faucet and clearly they are scam because free spins without rollover wagering is weird for me and normally there is no gambling sites who give the money easily for their players and in the future we have to stay away from those kind similar this site

its a kind of a scam faucet,not casino with free spins
there is only one game and there are no "paid" spins either
so this is just a ruse to get you hooked and spend time on the site,watching popups and ads and earning money for the owner
once you get closer to the payout threshold,which is unreasonably high as are the "wins" on your free spins
you get no wins,none at all
there was a guy in this topic who spun hundreds of rolls and recieieved a few minimal wins,just because he was too close to the 0.03 withdrawal
the purpose of this site is to live as long as many people who withdrew money and never got them, start to complain and it is made public
so do not waste time with scams ,but if you really have nothing better to do- go use regular faucets like freebitcoin,at least they are PAYING
3051  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice | Creators of Dicing 🎲 | Most Popular & Trusted | 111+ BTC Jackpot! on: November 02, 2017, 01:55:12 AM
20 billion bets, I remember celebrating 1 million!

next is 30 billion bets!

So we have to wait a while before next contest Cheesy

I am pretty sure they will be a contest for the 25th billionth bet.

Its very difficult to get a timeline on these "billonth" rolls and such. The bitcoin ecosystem is exponetially increasing that the rolls/per/day is constantley changing.

Physical casinos might not realize this but they are starting to lose "ALOT" of profit probably due to online bitcoin gambling.

OK I can wait 5 billion more bets.

Guess you are right about online casino vs physical casino's. Have you found any numbers about this online?

I don't have any statistics but I am pretty sure the "technical" gamblers who rely on low casino edge, will just gamble with dice instead of going to the casino and playing Roulette.

However most gamblers are recreational gamblers who basically go to Las Vegas and gamble for entertainment and plan on actually losing. Those people Bitcoin won't affect.

Technically Blackjack can offer a lot lower house edge. I believe the reason people choose dicing is simply because of the speed of bets and the ability to change odds at ease.

If you think about it, dicing is the essence of all gambling. It takes out the cards, the roulette board etc. and breaks it down into dead numbers only.

Blackjack can offer lower house edge on certain deck amounts and rules,yes
the house advantage could be as low as 0.43% if this site is correct:  https://wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack/calculator/
dice became so popular because of Satoshidice,historically it was the first and long time the only solid gambling site for bitcoins
I remember huge wins of 400+ bitcoins,sad to see it go
so,dice game is simple,easy to code and the most common game for bitcoins-both gamblers and the site owners love it Smiley
attempts to create some sort of a trademark game as popular as dice (bustabit,plinko,all sort of new games with not so simple rules) usually fail or lack audience
I can give an example: bitvest.io had all kind of games:plinko,bitspin,slots,roulette,but once they introduced dice
this game topped all the others combined in terms of total wagered in under 2 months
Stake offers many different games including a slightly higher house edge dice,so they covered all the bases
3052  Economy / Gambling / Re: ⚖️ Crypto Gambling Foundation ⚖️ - Fair Gambling For All on: November 02, 2017, 01:32:59 AM
Stunna I want to ask you something.

Real provably fair system is - client seed + server seed + nonce.
Client seed and server seed should remain the same while nonce change from 1 to n.

If you don't change client seed, nonce is changing from 1 - n and server seed is changing on every bet is that really provably fair system?
House could simple catch client seed, calculate nonce and give you bad outcomes.
And what is the point of nonce if server seed change on every bet?

My second(third?) question - without nonce, if client seed is unchanged, and server seed is changing on every bet, casino could see clients seed and give to player bad seeds.
How one can prove house didn't cheat?

Is that possible?(4th question)

This was discussed many many times in the past with various sites.

Basically its technically possible some gambling site can cheat you ONLY if you NEVER change your bet habit and NEVER change your client seed.

The site can have some pregenerated keys and if they detect you are someone who only martingales AND never changes the win direction, then they can give you some bad keys that will generate 10-20 losses in a row to clean you out.

However I am pretty sure Primedice never does this. And its also risky for the casino because what if you change from being a predictable gambler to a non-predictable gambler.

Someone can basically, martingale with 100 Sats bets for like 10000 Rolls, and then all of a sudden they can switch their bet habits and trick the site.

well if the site's seed is not changing it is technically impossible to cheat
unless there is some fundamental flaw in the provably fair system or cryptography
when the site is changing the seed every roll (999dice,fortunejack,bitvest and some other sites) it is possible
the server could track the habbit or patterns of a player on the fly and send a sequence of losing events
but the next roll is always predetermined so you are free to try and change the pattern if you suspect foul play
not that I think any of the sites are doing this,but this is possible in this case,yes
usually you could suspect this if one of the sites beats the math time and time again,i.e. if the chances for you to roll 14 reds on a 1.5x multiplier is one in 200.000 rolls
and you are getting them consistently in under 5.000 rolls or so,could be bad luck or could be foul play

Our last adjustment to our giveaway was around a year ago, while the price hasn't moved such a large amount overnight, it has moved more than 10x since our last adjustment. We've tried to keep it at the current levels as long as possible, but after over 60,000 claims, and the new all-time high for bitcoin, things were starting to get rather costly.

I was surprised it hadn't happened earlier
with the prices above 6500$ now it takes a lot of coins to keep this running for everybody to play for free and earn money without depositing
I don't get why all of the people are complaining,as if they put their money in Smiley
freebie is a freebie,especially as generous as 777coin offers
if you look at all of the leading dice sites and casinos their faucets and giveaways are reduced big time:primedice,cryptogames,stake etc. they all have reduced faucet
some even 10x times and you don't hear people whine about it
casinos are business,not charities
3054  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining software for Android on: November 01, 2017, 09:49:55 PM
I haven't read their whitepapers either,I found out about bitwalking from the news section here
it was a year ago or so,the idea sounded nice-I wanted to lose weight and start to exercise myself
so getting paid for that was appealing Smiley
judging from the description they use POW algo but it was connected to their pedometer or activity app
i.e. you have smartphone on you,wear a fitness bracelet or a heart rate monitor or similar and you get paid when you do some phisical activity
but since there are plenty of smart guys out there it wasn't too hard to create some sort of a mechanical swinging thingy to simulate walking or exercising
also the money had to come from somewhere,most likely from all sorts of ads in the app so the coin's value was too low initially
to entice users to download and use the app
but the idea is good,its the implementation that is bad (usual)
if any brave soul here downloads and installs it and tries and then leaves his comments about it,would be greatly appreciated

Did you guys remove chat to keep it more focused on gambling ? Or other reasons?

Thank you so much for the kind words!
We had to remove the chat because without someone to monitor it 24/7 we had people posting links to Bitcoin stealing malware.
As much as we enjoyed the chat ourselves,  keeping our players safe is our top priority.
We'd love to hear any additional suggestions you may have to make our brand better known.

a gambling site without a chat doesn't sound like a good idea,communities and people communicating is what makes a site great
you can deposit and dump coins and go away,but returning customers are the most valuable ones
and chat is what keep people and have them come back

you can hire a couple of moderators,maybe ask some of the players to do it for free
ban all of the clickable links and mute/ban accounts spamming the links
if it is working for other sites,should be working for you as well
mind you,almost every gambling site has a chat of sorts and their audience is ,sometimes, over 2000-3000 concurrent visitors (primedice,bitsler for example)

I'm not sure if the mining is paying out now.  I did little over 300,000 hashes.  Is that enough for anything?

this should be well under 100 satoshi,not worth your time
you have to realise that money do not come magically out of nowherer and your browser can't earn you anything substantial miningwise
you would be better off just claiming the faucet three times in a row
but if you don't have anything better to do with your resources,well 100 satoshi is money too,who knows maybe in a couple of years 1 satoshi will be worth 1$ Smiley
and people were laughing when bitcoin was 0.2$ and look where are we now

glad to know that there is a bounty bug, I wonder how much is the reward Cheesy
Depends on the bug also, very serious bugs can be more than 10 bitcoin, really depends on how it could affect website. But believe me, if you found that there is something wrong on Bitsler, Baryom or any other staff will reward you, I have experienced it once myself.
Also see Baryom's trust, once he sent 40 bitcoin to NLNico for finding very critical issues on bitsler.

yes,there is a reason sites pay bug bounties as one bug like that could have ruined the business
and 40 bitcoin seems like a huge price to pay for a bug,but I am sure the audit done by NLNico was well worth the bounty
if you look at some other sites,even the top ones,they suffer from hacks and bug exploits
remember Betking? when the owner could not even understand how was he hacked and offered the hacker bounty to disclose his method
this made the site go down and the owner take a break to come back later with a new reicarnation of the site
3058  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-10-27] Warren Buffett: Bitcoin is a bubble, as it doesn’t produce value on: October 31, 2017, 09:49:22 PM
if you read the article,Buffet was much less hostile than presented
he is a big time investor,a rich guy who made fortune being a trendsetter
so his opinion must be worth something,also unlike Dimon he doesn't make attacks on bitcoin
merely stating the obvious-it doesn't produce value i.e. is not an asset in his eyes
the thing is that nothing has value unless there is a demand for it
in a world where gold is considered nothing and coca cola caps are used as money they have value because people have demand for it and agreed to use it
as a tender,hence bitcoin has as much value as there is demand for it

but we all must thank him for putting bitcoin into perspective,even him mentioning it works for adoption and price rise
3059  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: good mining days gone on: October 31, 2017, 09:03:53 PM
well i hope that gpu mining days will come back, at least for some new tokens.

if you are talking about Bitcoin Gold here,it is fools gold more than bitcoin gold at the moment
they were designed to make bitcoin decentralised again (even stealing slogans from Trump)
and they stole more than just a motto,their replay protection is a copy of bitcoin cash's and it is not ready yet despite what they say on the ir site
so new tokens are not that hope inspiring

if you look at the current rates for two x480 there is no coin that will allow you to earn even 3$ a day
look at the Nicehash profitability test,download their programme and run it to see how much they are paying currently
so yeah,selling the cards and not continuing this arms race is the best idea
3060  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Is it too late to start investing in mining btc? on: October 31, 2017, 08:38:42 PM
it is never too late if it is profitable  and you can find proper equipment
as with every business plan you got to have roadmaps and plan ahead to make sure you profit
first step would be reading this forum,extensively not just skimming through
next step would be deciding on your equipment and calculating your expected profit
then you organise power,as cheap as you can get,mining equipment and set it all up
you can tell its profitable by the fact that Bitmain announced they were selling their next batch for Bitcash only
and have a look at the price of BCH now,it is rising steadily so there is suddenly huge demand for the coin
