Maybe it has to do with the fact that you're bumping a 13 month old thread.  GAB used to have forums and giveaways and whatnot, I haven't heard from them in a long time.

I'm still stuck on rice ponds can anyone can help me out. or do you have anyway to earn few mBTC then i will use it to play again in rice ponds..
Waters from mentors is not enough to gain few satoshi's and also gift from statue's
I am searching for another statue's that can give free satoshis again but all of the statues has no gift..
Guys who have reach above level 5?Can you PM me your username there i will add you as my friend and also can you share few waters?

At his point you should think about making a deposit, perhaps~
I think making a deposit is the only way to do all my task done... I dont understand the task on the left that you can skip task by depositing 20 mbtc?
So if i deposit 20mbtc all task will be skip and i will level up?

If you deposit 20mbtc then you can skip one of the other tasks.  What's your name in the game?  i can show you what's up.  Here's a hint btw, all you really have to do is deposit 1mbtc 20 times.  You can even withdrawal to your deposit address to finish the task. Wink

I sent bitcoins from my multibit wallet and they were never sent or confirmed, blockchain says invalid tx
i have sync my multibit wallet many times already but still tx is unconfirmed (show triangle)

If blockchain is showing it as invalid, you may need to investigate that.  Did you create the transaction in multibit or in another wallet?  Can you post the raw hex here that you tried to put into blockchain.ino/pushtx so we can see why it might be invalid?

Sorry for derailing the thread OP.

I dont think you can get the raw TX from multibit, but I dont use it for my own coins. Its probably better to make a new thread in the proper section[1] for multibit. On of the devs[2] is very active there.

I've used multibit quite a bit for my own coins.  I haven't found a way to export the raw hex, but that doesn't mean it's not there.  Anyway, dude says "blockchain is showing it as invalid" which sorta makes it sound like he tried to put something into the pushtx page, I wonder what he put there.

Never been able to get your software to work. Fails on 2 of my windows 7 virtual machines and fails with wine. Is there some .net library I'm missing or something? no errors, just no games ever populate and it says 'trying' in the lower left corner.

FWIW, they sorta shouted at me and NLNico for even hoping to get it running on WINE.  Not sure why, but they told us in no uncertain terms "It will not work on WINE!".  I sorta intepreted that as that they were taking active steps to ensure it doesn't work on WINE.  I don't know why that would be the case, but it's the impression I got.
Lol :p TBH to me it felt more like a "we know some libraries that we use don't work with wine, so no need to waste your time on it, maybe we will change in future." Tongue

Okay, yah, I may have misinterpreted the tone.  Still, if they know some libraries they use don't work with wine, why not reply to a technical question like "I'm getting this SSL error" with something like "we use libwinbrokenssl, which is known not to work with wine, sorry."

Anywhoo...

So.. the digging problem has fixed itself?
We have to hope that the walle wont sell all his clams at same time.

Well, this particular BTC whale has stopped digging for now.

There's no guarantee that he won't start again (although he says he has no more addresses to dig) or that another similarly sized whale won't turn up tomorrow.

So I wouldn't say it has really "fixed itself". And some would argue that nothing was ever broken, and that everything is working as planned.


Wait, I think I missed something.  The whale has self-identified and said that he's out of addresses?

Doesn't the 11 also have a higher rakeback than the 8, giving it even more value? That in itself has worth -- higher rakeback = less money lost = more money gained.

Yes, indeed, that's what I was referring to.  If you already have an 11, then having an 8 doesn't help you because you do your bets with the 11 and get the better rakeback.  However, if you don't, then the lower your account currently has to correspond to an increase in the value of an account you're bidding on.  If you have level 7 and you're bidding on an 8 that actually might not be as valuable to you to win in an auction as someone with a level 6 bidding on that same 8, etc.

I did give that some thought, but set aside the increased DT because, if you mean to try to level still... you will spend so much that the increased DT is minimal by comparison. And if you don't mean to try to level to 12, then... what would be the point in having the account over an 8?

I know my thinking may not be perfect, I can't spend a lot of time on it.  The main  point of the post was to present a basic theory of account value.   Tweek it as may suit you.  No one has to be absolutely right here.

Separately, a question.  For a while accounts were getting muled but that doesn't seem to be the case lately, that I know of.  If one does get muled, does one still get whiffs and share in rounds?


Thanks

~Scorp

Di recently told me that he's muling accounts everytime they use a new IP address.  This means that I end up having to ask him to unmule me quite often.  I don't think there's any ramification on whiffs and rounds, but you can't pick herbs when you're muled.

I would like to try the game is it already opened for everyone? The idea is very original mixing the mmo concept and a casino with bitcoin, ive seen this many times before but with no real money (ingame currency) that had no real value.

Indeed, it's live right now and has been for several years.  I actually think that Dragon's Tale was one of the first sites that accepted BTC.  I've been there for about 2.5 years and it was around at least a year before I came by.  I agree, that it's fun to have some sort of MMO that isn't just "play money".

I'm not trying to speak for dooglus, but I think your question is a little too generic to really merit a proper answer.  As you've asked it, the answer to your question is some sort of 4 month course on how to secure a website.  I think you'd get farther if you:

1) Use the CLAM thread to talk to the CLAM community generally (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623147.0;topicseen) (there's an IRC channel as well, which might be more appropriate for conversational style questions with the CLAMmers)
2) Ask a specific question
I don't see how setting up a gambling website is related to CLAM, could be BTC, too. My question was, if Doog can recommend a hosting service which has some protection from laws in restricted countries (for example, what I've read is that you should not run a server in the US, because online gambling is illegal in this country, or you need some special license), but of course, would be nice if he can give some tips for hardening the server as well. JD uses Cloudflare as a service in front of the server, which looks like a good start, if not too expensive.

Uh, here's why I associated your question with CLAM:

I like the just-dice site and I plan to create a CLAM service myself.

Again, I wasn't speaking for dooglus, and really I was addressing Faust Roland, who posted below you asking for some very general advice on website security.

Regarding the value of accounts, an interesting thing occurred today.

4 hours before the weekly lottery, doeboy put his 11-going-on-12 account, and a second level 8 account, up for auction, or attempted to.  At first he said he would take the best offer no matter how low, and the auction would end at the weekly drawing.  But a few minutes later he said that if the best offer wasn't high enough, he would wait till the monthly drawing, as he has 500 (or so) tickets.  (Which suggests to me that he is busted, was waiting for the weekly lottery, and ready to bail)

He listed the assets.... two 100 btm ribbons, one 300 ribbon, access to Toa for both accounts, some unremembered value of DT, and I think that that was it, along with the 500 tickets.

So what is the value of the account really?

Well, there is nothing solid here, but it seems reasonable to value the ribbons at 500 btm - the 5% of the supposed house take on future ribbons wagers, or 475 btm.

(We don't know just how much the house takes with those, really.  You win something when you grab one, but it has never been much more than the bet in my experience, so you have to survive two tries just to get your money back.  But on every bet the house takes 50%, if I understand it rightly)

But we might reasonably say 475 btm.

as for the tickets, they are also questionable, but you could say that, based on last month's drawing having nearly 4000 tickets, his ticket package is worth 1/8 BTC or 125 btm.

The value of going to Toa seems to be entirely an intangible asset.  I have never heard of Toa having anything that the other islands don't, so the only thing about going to Tao is that others can't.  Which in reality is no value at all.

The level 8 account, if you have an 11, is no value at all except for what you might be able to sell it for, and as we see, account sales are pretty flat (I think LucyLuck recently sold hers, no idea for how much.)

So it seems like a reasonable value would be 600 btm if you wanted to risk the tickets.  A reasonable auction bid (which itself is a gamble), would be 400 btm.

doeboy, I am sure, would think much differently.  He went through a lot of BTC to get to that level.  But what does not come with the account is the fun (and, more, the disappointment) he had going through those 11 levels.

A level 8 account is nice because you can go to Tiki and party with friends and not too many  alts will show up.  And it's the best bar in the game.  But I have never heard of any advantage to being at levels beyond that.   They can throw tourneys, but, you can get your mentor to do that for you if you care too.

Just some thoughts.

Totally separately, I wonder why so much of Tiki is undeveloped?

Also, X seems to be a total failure.  You never see people hanging out there at the bar, which is pretty lame itself.  They just go there to look for herbs.  Same, really, at Xinren, except for the voting booth and the cows.  Much of Xinren was never developed as well.  It used to have a good bar I am told, but for some reason Di wanted to drive people to the 'governed' islands.

I get the impression that what ever else it may be, DT is an ongoing sociological experiment.

~All for tonight!

An interesting writeup, but I think one thing you're not really accounting for is the level of the buyer.  You properly point out that if you have a level 11 account, then a level 8 account isn't really getting you anything you don't already have.  But the reverse is true for someone bidding on the package.  If you're a level 2 and you don't even collect DT yet then, if you're unlucky, you might lose 200-400BTM just trying to get to level 3 to get into the DT scheme.  However, as you say, if you already have a high-level account, then this isn't really a factor.  So, what i'd add to your analysis is that the delta between the level of a bidder and the level of the account to be sold has to be a factor in the value of the account.

I like the just-dice site and I plan to create a CLAM service myself. Don't know if it will be gambling related, but I think would be a good idea to use a server where gambling is allowed, if I decide to provide such a service. A quick googling says that there are problems in some countries and servers can be shutdown if they run a gambling site. Which hosting company does just-dice use to avoid this? I found a list of offshore hosting companies, but they are very expensive compared to standard hosting offers. I don't expect many customers for my site at the beginning, so server costs would be not covered by the site profit. A small VPS would be sufficient, or even just a webserver (but I think a VPS would be better, want to play with Node.js). I can run the clamd server elsewhere.

Hi Dooglus , I am joining to this question.
I also consider create some clam-driven webgame.
I admire just-dice as site that has not been hacked.
In cryptocurrency world, where sites disappears and being hacked, every badly secured service can cause harm to entire "industry".
Can you share with us some tips, how to create secure webservice as yours?
I don't want you to reveal us your company secrets, just some useful tricks that will help us all build secure services. (Or just useful links, I googled before I asked, but maybe not enough)

Thanks :-)

Real Madrid versus Barcelona was an awesome match. i can not believe that the classico really ended 0:4. i bet for a draw. well my second guess was 2.5+ goals :/

I really doubted Barcelona would win this game, now 4x0 is hard to swallow...

Congrats to the guys who bet on Barça.

I've seen quite a few large wins in the clasico over the years.  It seems that when one of the teams starts winning, the other gets mad as hell and either gets it back or loses even more.  They play these matches like they're in a tournament or something.

Another day, another hilarious PM:

!!! WARNING: This user is a newbie. If you are expecting a message from a more veteran member, then this is an imposter !!!

Dear Stunna,

Unfortunately, I have some very bad news for you. In the past few weeks, I have been researching very closely who is responsible for the havoc of clam. According to all of my resources at poloniex and through using the very trusty blockchain, as well as your own service PrimeDice, the act points directly at you.

How you ask? Well, I give you an opportunity.

You can open up, publicly state you are responsible for the digging spree and how ever you wish to deal with it, you are more than welcome to do so…

Or, you can deny the claims I am about to put forth to you, or simply ignore this message.

I warn that what I have is proven with hard blockchain evidence, linked to deposit addresses at your site, your cold wallet (which was not that hard to find, all you need is a size-able deposit into your site to find out where it ends up) and my kind friends at poloniex who gladly confirmed their addresses/transactions for me.

Not only does the hard evidence add up…The logic is simple.
- You own PrimeDice, a competitor of Just-Dice.
- You lost 2k+ BTC to Hufflepuff who exploited your system, perfect motive to recoup these funds.
- You have no holding in clams so destroying its value is only of gain to you, not loss
- Since your bankroll is privately funded you 100% profit, and since cold wallets as well as invested/bankroll amount is hidden, no one would ever know. Until not, that is.

Do not bother asking me for the hard evidence, I would much rather you deny or ignore this, so I can publicly expose you. I receive satisfaction of busting others wrong doings.

So, I leave it with you. You have 7 days to read this and decide your course of action. If not, I will be more than happy to bust you in the most direct way possible. Including the fact you have robbed those of their hard earned clams, purely for your own gain and wealth.

Clock is ticking, Kindest Regards.

I've been thinking about putting together a blog with all the weird emails and PM's I've gotten over the years.


Hmm, that's about as funny as I can imagine.  I wonder what Digger_exposed is going to do now that you've busted yourself "in the most direct way possible", Stunna.  Please keep posting anything further from him, as it's pretty entertaining.

I like to get them back and learn from everything in the journey to reach that goal.
I already learnt some python and want to see how far I can get on my own.
I prefer to use C++.
Why? Is it more efficient?

It is a compiled language vs an interpreted one.  Compiled languages are almost always much more efficient than interpreted ones.

From a coding perspective, coding one may be much more efficient than the other depending on your skill set.  e.g. If you don't know Prolog or C++, but do know Python very well, it might be quicker to code and run everything in Python than to spend time learning one of them, then coding and running.

Ah, I already had a suspicion that it was due to compiling.
Makes sense.

I actually started programming a year ago, with arduino in C.
However, for this project I already found a lot written in python which I could use so I figured I could better go this way.
Perhaps I should try and find the same bits and pieces and redo the code in C.
I think I have more than enough homework for now to be able to continue  Smiley
Thanks for all the help.


If I'm not incorrect, the python interpreter is written in C, so yah, you're just adding a layer of abstraction when you use python.  However, for one-off scripts like this one, it's probably not worth it to worry about all the typing and memory management of C, just get yer script going so you can  have some fun.  Let us know how you're proceeding.  I, for one, appreciate your attitude.  I like doing things myself simply for the educational experience.
good

The official Python interpreter is indeed written in C, you can find the source code on python.org. There are Python to C++ compilers but I have not tried them. I recommend using what works best for your project.

Right, but C++ is just C with classes.  You should be able to compile your C code with g++.  Anyway, I think this topic has drifted a bit from the original intention of this thread.  Let's leave off about interpreters here.  If suiyan wants to start another thread about intepreters, we can wait for that.

Any low impact solution that does not limit the daily digging in some way will probably not save the coin.

Save the coin?!  How is the coin in need of saving?  I can see that the market price is lower than it used to be, but it's still many times higher than the world of shitcoins out there.  The idea that the world is coming to an end if we don't act fast is what makes us look desperate and scammy, imo.  Just be normal, rational, calm people and you've got no problems.  CLAM is still listed on the major exchanges, it's secure, it works, etc.  What's with the doomsday talk?

Hi,

I think the official bitcoin wiki is here:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page

But recently, when using a search engine to turn up the bitcoin wiki, I ended up here:

http://en.bitcoinwiki.org/Main_Page

On that second wiki, I hit "random page", and ended up on a weird spam page about chocolate, kinda funny but not appropriate, as far as I can tell:

http://en.bitcoinwiki.org/Menu_In_Making_Unique_Chocolate_Items

Then, I searched "address" in the wiki's search bar and found lots of weird pages which are certainly not appropriate:

http://en.bitcoinwiki.org/When_Is_It_Important_To_Employ_A_Divorce_Lawyer_In_Round_Rock_TX?
http://en.bitcoinwiki.org/How_Do_You_Know_If_Movers_In_Houston_TX_Are_Dependable_Or_Not?

http://en.bitcoinwiki.org/Abortion_Clinics_In_San_Diego_CA_Alternatives:_What_Choices_Are_Available_For_You?

Finding this kinda nonsense on a wiki about bitcoin seems kinda embarrassing.  Does anyone know who runs this alternative bitcoin wiki?  It seems to be full of weird spam that needs to be deleted.
