Honestly I dont mind if "you make bank", in fact Id expect you to - you need some motivation to do this and be honest about it
Given the how badly BFL and Avalon turned out, its refreshing to order btc mining equipment and actually get it a week later.

also, is it monday where you are yet and have my 50 units shipped  ? 

Thanks.

cough cough cough

same issue here, Ive logged a support ticket.

A quick google turns up a similar issue from 2011 which they were able to resolve once notified.

I also like to whinge on reddit

Im starting a new rumour, lets see if its got legs.

Firedcat is Elvis.

sad but true.

my 2c, Id argue just-dice is one of the most trustworthy btc casinos run by one of the most helpful and honest bitcointalk members - period.

I gave it a good going over when it was on testnet and have observed friends playing with real BTC, Im 100% satisfied with its operations.

Yes, Dooglus could cheat investors, the same is true for SDICE (I actually have suspicions they did this heavily prior to IPO).  

Are we arguing that the casino is a scam ?
if so I disagree.

Is it that the operator could (with some effort) take advantage of investors by abusing their knowledge of the secret.
Then yes, of course Dooglus "Could" do this, if you have concerns about this then you should not invest. I made the same argument against investing in SDICE.

However this has no bearing on a players experience which is my primary concern.

+1 Canary is an absolute pleasure to deal with, I cant remember the last time I bought bitcoin hardware with such ease (except for 5970's from the local pc store).

fixed in the spread sheet - thanks.

bitspoker approved, had a play test recently. Its the same software as seals with clubs.
As with all new casinos that host players balance please only deposit what you can afford to lose.

The approval will show in the next update.

who disturbs my slumber !!!!!!

Still flat out with other stuff, List update coming this weekend.

Casino operators, if you want to queue jump PM me and be prepared to give me 0.1-0.4 BTC play money.
Its a lot of work vetting new sites, Take satoshicircle for example I spent 0.4 btc of my own money testing the latest "provably fair" update.

My preference is when testing any new casino is to:

* sign up under a new nickname (mem is to recognizable and Im certain new casinos would not stooge my account when they want a review).
* Play until I win (ie have a higher balance  than I stared with).
* Cash out all.
* recash in using a new account.
* play for a bit, loose some.
* top up account, play some more.
* cash out when the balance is down 50%.

I feel after running through all this and checking the provably fair results I have done everything I can.

Normally I would sit down each weekend and playtest 1-3 new sites, lately though between large amounts of over time and helping my fiancee with he new business (lunchbar) my free time has been reduced to near 0.

I shall continue to maintain this list, its of great use to myself and my friends who I put onto BTC (they trust me and they trust my recommendations).

Its just a busy period for me unfortunately, thanks for being good sports and being patient

The spreadsheet is always updated FYI.
Expect a list update very soon - might try and get tinyperl working on my work laptop so i can do it on my lunch break (understand I cant test gambling sites at work )

The issues:

* Avalon stated the would not premine, would not mine with clients equipment and would test (burnin) on testnet.  

Unfortunately this turned out to be a blatant lie.

see here for further details.

* Avalon claimed numerous delays, sabotage, yifu not getting enough beauty sleep and supply issues.  

Turned out many of the orders being delivered had a thick layer of dust in them while others had none. This indicates the dust filled machines have been running for some time (dust accumulates inside PC cases when fans are running). So the delays were also bullshit.

* More delays, piss poor communication and a touch of bitchiness from Yifu soured opinions and faith in Avalon to the current point.

Surprise, Yifu's good will ran out so he turns into another BFL_Josh.

* Avalon offered refunds for batch #3 clients (thanks for the interest free loan suckers).

But unfortunately it seems unless you filled in a specific google doc  not mentioned in any of the support requests clients have logged before an arbitrary deadline your refund will be refused.

* Avalon stated that trade-in customers would be specially treated compare with batch#2 customers in April's newsletter.

Reality is, yes, they were treated specially, but, specially delayed more than even batch#3 customers.

* Avalon also stated trade-ins would be first (citation needed)

But those who did trade-ins have been waiting, most with over 3 months in lost Icarus mining revenue. (Approximately 3.5 BTC per device)

Added the point about the icarus trade ins.

Nice story, unfortunately it does not apply here.
Yifu insisted several times quite adamantly they did not use clients equipment to mine nor did they mine themselves. This is a blatant lie, there is no excusing it or explaining it as a misunderstanding. Further more he and his company were mining to the detriment of their investors, showing an absolute lack of respect for the very people that helped bank roll his company.

The stated they would not mine on main net, it has been proven without a doubt they do and continue to do so.

This is not a case of "did you mine ?, yes but with other hardware".
This is a case of "we mined using client/investor funded hardware before the client/investor had a chance of earning their ROI.

This is not a case of a language barrier.
where poor Yifu assumed that all the start up capital he was provided with was for him to piss away at his discretion and the greedy clients were asking for the moon when told they would get a working ASIC delivered in N Months.

Yifu has revealed himself to be someone who lies to anyone whenever it is convenient and as such no longer has the credibility to be trusted further. 

Lets compare apples to apples for a moment here.

Yifu while being good ar PR has been proven to be a a liar and depending on your view of things a thief. 

BFL_Josh An Angry, aggressive and outspoken individual who I believe has been conned into being the bigger fool for sonny. That being said, I have yet to catch Josh out in any blatant lies at worst he could be said to be an asshole who is blindly and fatally optimistic about his companies performance.

It truly saddens me, BFL had set the bar so low that I felt avalon could only go up - boy was I shocked when Yifu decided to 1 up BFL_Josh in douchebaggery.

hello ProfMac,

lets put this simply - Yifu publically stated they would not mine on main net with clients hardware. 
Secondly, the hardware is not his nor does it belong to his company - the company was bankrolled by the early investors/ preorders - they have no right or expectation to get free hashes on clients machines.

This is a very simple point.

Put simpler, Yifu stated they would not mine, people invested with this in mind, turned out Yifu is a blatant liar.

This is my brief summary of the situation.

First of, Im deeply saddened to see Avalon degrade to near BFL standards - Yifu you had my respect but it is lost permanently now.

Got mine (AU), all the guys at work were thrilled to get them before the weekend.

I think we even made some new BTC converts because of these nifty little keys, definitely in on the next order.

Thanks for the warning friedcat, keep up the excellent work.

flattery will get you everywhere

and thats just what I bother to share
when you release a free app or script quite often you are hounded for support so I keep many of my hacks to myself

This script was an ugly hack as well, but I used it to develop my own version of the martingale system which I have played to good success (won heaps and never used it again). I released this one because it seemed to many players failed to see the pitfalls of martingales system.

NASCAR !!!!

hey people are still using my script glad to see it.

friend at work just experienced this as well, not impressed.
