Yes, i got the same shit.  Why are new accounts allowed to PM?

Are new accounts still confined to certain subforums until they reach a certain post count?
No more newbie jail. The only things they're restricted from IIRC is Investigations, which is unlocked when you hit Full Member+. Rest is just free reign.

Lending section and PM's really SHOULD be restricted to a certain rank and above.

Today I got 5 direct messages from brand new accounts asking me some random money/bitcoin related question and asking me to click on some fake google link.

Has the forum been overrun by bots sending these out to everyone?
Report the messages by clicking the button in the bottom-right and you'll be part of the solution.
There have always been bots and phishing attempts, you only just notice them now because of selection bias. Just report and move on, don't think about it too much.

And what about signature campaigns not allowing to post in certain forum section why do you think there is difference between them and sig camp which are forcing people to post in certain sections?
What you posted above is different because it's not a forced bump (I myself don't do this because I have nothing to say in the threads).

The difference between signature campaigns forcing posts in sections vs. them discounting posts in others is that the former is more limited than the latter. The former pushes one to post in Gambling for example (FJ, always resort to it) to which one may not be able to find enough discussion that they can be constructive in during the week.

I frequent Scam Accusations, Reputation, Meta and Gambling. If I'm forced to post in Gambling then I'm sucked out of 3/4 of my discussions. When I'm limited to boards that are not Scam Accusations, Reputation and Meta, then I can still cover ground in other boards, sifting through the shitmounds of spam to find some good things.
And I think the percentage is closer to 98% Wink

AFAIK it's 64,000 characters. I tested it recently and it hasn't changed.

One more question. On this 64k characters, are there counting tags char. also? like [color=black ... /color]
Yes. Everything counts.

good day brother,
i would like to ask you about recovering id,i have an account and i used an address from exchanger.
and if my account get hacked what should i do ? because i don't have an access to the private keys
or to sign the message ?
please kindly explain it to me,have a nice day brother

All your addresses were from exchanges when you posted them on the forum?
If so the least you can do is post screenshots of your activity on those exchanges and then DT members could neg the account to prevent your reputation from being tarnished by any would-be hackers.

It's an obvious scam and you should keep your money safe where it belongs. You will not beat the house. Even if you manage to 'exploit' casinos, they'll prevent you from withdrawing the illicit funds.

This is satire:

If you could earn $600 to 6000$ per hour it would be a scam, but as you can only earn $60 to 600$ per hour it does not look like a scam! Cheesy

Read this:

That is very much not allowed. The threads are trashed, the poster is banned for 60 days, everyone who participated is banned for 3 days, and everyone who participated cannot display a signature for 30 days.

You're banned because the 'campaign' or service forced posting on a thread to keep it bumped, which is disallowed. Read the rules next time, okay buddy?

4491  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BCT account stolen on: July 30, 2017, 02:03:43 AM
This post should be in meta, anyways you should make a new post in meta instead of moving this, post proofs in that post, like staked address if you have, or some received emails (but ai don't think if thy consideree those email especially the admins) but just try it, then PM some admins to recover your account.

Already said two-thirds of what you posted.

You have no addresses on the account that were posted so that's a no-go.

If you still have some NOBL from way back in 2014 that might be a way to further increase the belief that you're the original account-holder.

This should be moved to Meta, by the way.

Also, the allegedly stolen account has no addresses posted and therefore OP is pretty SOL. Theymos said a staked address was the only way to prove account ownership (I'm unsure about Cyrus's stance on the matter but it's unlikely OP can conjure up some proof to show that they're the original owner)

No,  not permanent. The ban will likely be extended if you're caught evading.

Ban evasion, probably. Or your main account is a spammer.

You can use math to calculate the expected value of the user's balance.

You can use math to calculate the expected value of the user's balance, but it is still a possibility.
In terms of calculating how much a user lost, it should be fine to use mathematical ev. You can't say that the ev of the dice game shouldn't be calculated just because there's a possibility that players or the house can win all the coins.


These kinds of bonus should come with terms and conditions to avoid unethical actions from players (such as the mentioned loop). This is how the bonus algorithm should work, otherwise, if your funds remain the same while canceling the bonus, everyone will claim the bonus and cancel whenever they lose the bonus, they can simply claim again and continue the loop afterward.
I agree fully with these statements. That, however, is neither the argument nor the problem.

To make it clear, you are not being forced to bet, your funds will remain in the balance if you did not wager(lose) it, for example, if you make a deposit, you claim the bonus and immediately cancel the bonus, you won't lose anything, or maybe if you make a few bets which resulting in lose, this is the only way that affecting your balance, which means the player funds are being use for wager before the bonus funds, and this should be mentioned in the terms and conditions to avoid any misleading.
I don't think you understand exactly how it works. The player's funds are NOT being used for wagering. The player's balance is a sum of the bonus and their original deposit (+ whatever else they gained). How their bonus system works is that for every winning bet, the locked balance goes up and when one wants to cancel, the locked balance is a sum of the bonus amount + gross profit (not net profit).

Spreading negativity will not help the case. Although it was the player fault for not reading anything before proceeding to click the cancel button. Duckdice has refund the player's deposit. The player should read and ask before performing those action, but he didn't. In this case, I can only see that the terms and conditions are not clear, which could misleading part of the players.
Shouldn't be considered the fault of the player for something they are not in control of. If one deposits, claims the bonus for a total of 2 BTC for example (1 BTC deposit + 1 BTC bonus) and subsequently wagers that amount twice: winning and losing, then they are back to where they started. If they wanted to cancel because they didn't like the odds, they are out of that option because the locked balance is now equivalent to 3 BTC. Canceling would result in a balance of zero.

OK, we'll have a tournament tonight at 9pm CET. This is our first tournament, we are still testing various software features - please don't get mad if things don't go as expected.

It will be a shorthanded, 6-max, 2,000 chips buy-in tournament + 160 tournament fee

We don't have tournament bots, so no bots in this tournament. I might, however, borrow one of the bots accounts and play in it myself.

Let us know if you guys have any questions.

Wait, how would this tournament work if not enough players register? I'm perfectly fine with playing a tournament, by the way, but want to ensure that this goes through.
I do know that the tournament option was available (10 seat) so I'm unsure as to how this one is different, apart from the 6max and buyin.

He did not complete the wagering requirement, we can't simply say statistically while involve in gambling. He may win or lose the entire balance before completing the requirement.
You can use math to calculate the expected value of the user's balance.

Most casino did this, player could end up cancelling the entire balance after part of wagering requirement has been done, except most of them are clearly written in the terms and conditions that Real Money will be use first before the bonus balance is used. They make it clear, but Duckdice didn't. Duckdice use the same algorithm, thus they should actually write in this way (Main account funds will be used before any bonus funds, an example took from FortuneJack), real balance will be locked while bonus is active is the only reason that misleading the players.
Except that isn't how DuckDice.io's algorithm worked. Users had the bonus balance in a "locked balance" that increased with gross profit and only gross profit. Which is bad.

Duckdice didn't make it clear in the terms and conditions, that was their fault, BUT, when cancelling a bonus, there will be a popup box showing up how much balance will be left in your account after cancelling your bonus, if player read before clicking any Cancel | Button, they should know!
Spoiler alert: that's now how it worked. Here, read for yourself:

FOR EVERYONE INFORMATION
Here is what happening when you are canceling your bonus:

First screen example:



Second confirmation screen example:


Even if they are clicking too fast, there will be a second windows to ask for the confirmation, player should read! This was the player fault. Again, player should READ CLEARLY before performing these kind of action, just taking a few minutes to read, easy task, it is the player responsibility. You cannot simply ask for a refund just because of your own mistake. In this case, cancelling the bonus without reading clearly was the player fault, and Duckdice still refund his deposit of 2BTC, fair enough.
When you want to cancel your bonus and you are forced to bet, that is unethical. You are forced to bet because otherwise you will directly lose your funds anyway.
4498  Other / Meta / Re: Required Minimum Post of a Signature Campaign should not allow too! on: July 29, 2017, 07:07:26 AM
Ban all the campaigns paying less than 0.0007 per post,  disable signature for members posting not 10 but 5 consecutive shit posts, problem solved.

To be honest, a dollar per post is still relatively high in terms of paying someone. US minimum wage is $7.25 so you need to maintain one post approximately every 8 minutes. (Which is why we have a maximum). And if the signature campaigns under that $1.94 threshold are banned then you'll see a flood of accounts going to the higher paying campaigns. Do you really want spammers to be paid more? Because regardless of the price I am sure that services will start up campaigns and allow spammers a place of refuge. They're just offering low rates right now because they can get away with it and flood their ads everywhere.

That was a bug. Every new site experience issues at the beginning. and nobody is perfect. Even primedice had security issues so they lost $1.5M worth bitcoins to a hacker.
Now, don't you dare try to tell me that more than 2% of casinos have a ridiculously severe bug like that within their opening stages. When you're dealing with money - especially that which can be won or lost within seconds you have to ensure everything is smooth. If you didn't even test to see that you could make negative bets then there is a serious problem on your end.
And the Hufflepuff situation is completely different. Don't make a crappy comparison: Hufflepuff gained the server seeds while on your end you allowed negative bets with a small bankroll unsuitable for the running of a casino.

Their ANN thread was shut down by the dev`s, cause of some rules. I think rule they had that every participant need to post at least one time in their ann thread was the problem but I`m not sure. The same happened with bitdice ico ANN thread, but they were faster and opened a new one without that rule. Probably betking is working on that as we speaking.
Correct.

I plan to invest in both of this casinos too, how can we know which one can be a better choice. About betking I like their plans, adding sportsbook and poker in the future, that sounds like a good idea, and if they do that many people will be interested in this site. Bitdice have active community and that is what attract me to this ICO, I`m in their twitter campaign, little from that and some to buy is my plan.
Well, why not both? Build a diversified portfolio in case one is not as profitable or in the worst case, goes scam. I personally believe the latter is highly unlikely to happen considering both casinos' good history.



Yes exactly but i have some problems here I hope would you help out because I’m not getting that it is not even letting us win easily like we suppose to on daily bases but the changes of win are only less than 5% so I want to know that it is just happening to me or all those people who are involve with these type of games so I want to know please.
What are you trying to say?
