New auto roll feature available on live site now.  Very simple to use. Set base amount, multiplier and if you like, a balance goal to stop at. Well done. I've tested it briefly and works like a charm. Although I'd change wording from "Multiplier" to "Multiply on loss" to make it clear and avoid confusion. |

Ouch, 3 of the "top 8" sites were gone after just 4 months. The remaining 5 sites have a very good return rate, except for dicenow with only 3% p.a.
Lesson learned: The house is very likely to get nice profit with the presence of house edge, but it may not be the case for bankroll investors.
What do you mean by that? Are you suspecting operators to somehow steal the investors' earnings? If so, that shouldn't be difficult to prove. Care to elaborate? Or are you just trying to increase your post count? Huh? What kind of proof do you want lol? As I said, 3 of the top 8 sites OP invested (Dice Ninja, Ice-Dice and Coinwin) become a scam within just 4 months. Just click the 3 sites' link in OP, and you will realize they are all down for quite some time already. So nope, the 3 sites didn't just steal investors' earnings, they stole all the investments and deposits from gamblers. I was referring to this part of your post: "Lesson learned: The house is very likely to get nice profit with the presence of house edge, but it may not be the case for bankroll investors" You made it sound like the house is taking a profit while investors don't. Which is not the case if the site is legit. 3 operators turned to be scammers but that have nothing to do with house edge. If the operator is genuine, his profits will go in line with investors' profit. So the 'lesson learned' should rather be: "don't invest if you don't have any trust in the operator" |

What a bummer man that's a lot of coins gone. Gambling isn't for the faint hearted and only 1% of players actually win.
That statistic is actually bullshit, just saying. I wount even touch the topic of how smart is it to play -ev games like dice, but keeping your entire roll on the gambling site (or exchange, for that matter), is not super smart as well. LOl, there is 1% edge so in long run only 1% can be winners, smartass! Yeah, and if house edge was as high as 99%, in a long run most of players will be winners? Check your math. |

why dont you leave your wallet on a public bench for 10 days and see what will happen?
Maybe I will. If the wallet on the public bench holds more money after ten days, I'll know it's a good community. So if you find a wallet on the street/bench you would just put some more money in it and leave it there? Yeah, I believe you. Your going to judge a large community like BCT based on an individual who steals 10 BitCoin.
I'd argue that it's not theft to sweep funds on private keys which are intentionally revealed to the public. ... This. Intentional revealing public key is nothing but the giveaway. Picking up those BTC wouldn't have anything to do with stealing. Again, "intentionally" is a keyword here. |

+1 for autobet
But it should be as simple as it can be (less risk of something going wrong).
I like the way it's done on safedice, you just put the number of bets, multiply on loss and minimum balance (optional). That's all most of players need.
And if they need advanced options they can use seuntije bot for that.

loijosh, if possible do the draw today, using random.org, etc. and pick 20 random winners. (all make all of them win if < 20)
...
A winner can win only once. (ignore if the the number allotted to already won participant if so.) However if there are excess funds, a participant can win up to 2 times.
I believe above statement closed the giveaway to new participants (since W-D wanted it to be paid yesterday). Therefore all the new participants, who joined after the WD's post should not be counted (but still should be counted for the most wagered contest). If I get this right, every participating player should be paid (since it's less than 20) and additionally draw should be made to divide the excess. It's a bit of a mess... Would be ideal if Watoshi got back on this and decide who gets paid and make a draw. Edit: Also, I think Brimskie should get the promised 0.005, since he was accepted and his name is on ref list (Brimskie15-2989). It wouldn't be fair to change the rules afterwards and not pay him because of his low member status. |

BTC was made just to make quick money. a gang is earning a lot of money from it and that's the story  a so called decentralized system will not be "mainstream" ever. yes, BTC gang opened many so called "media website" where they present BTC as being something extraordinary but everything is only PR, buzz just to attract more fools to put money in... And yet you're on this bitcoin forum 24/7 completely addicted and unable to move on to other, better things. That's the real paradox, isn't it? |

One of the key reasons that bitcoin has not gone mainstream or it could not is because of the limit of tranactions per second and block size..
Key reason? Seriously? Blocks are getting close to the 1mb limit but it's not the problem yet. I don't see how this currently stops anyone from using bitcoin. Yes, it's an issue (although some will disagree) and it will likely be resolved with the next fork. But that's not the reason for not going mainstream yet. |

this what I get in safedice chatbox :
"not yet, no. but if he already sent the funds into escrow, than admin can look up the reff stats
so technically the contest can go on as long as the campaign is already funded"
Thanks, but who was that reply from (I cannot access SD atm to check)? So the only issue seems to be whether loljosh chooses to keep the promo open to new participants. If so, he would need the access to full Watoshi's referral list to make that 20x BTC0.005 draw. |

Inform us if you get the answer from loljosh..
Will do. But I asked him to let us all know and reply in this thread. |
|
|
|
So sorry to hear that broo
But How about your giveaway still running? Or you want to cancel it?
Giveaway's funds are escrowed with loljosh, so it's up to him to make a decision. I've already contacted him. |

No. Transactions 1
Total Received 0.3099 BTC
Final Balance 0.3099 BTC Balance received. @loljosh Maybe you should officially close this promo for new participants (unless OP is back). The total number of participants is probably less than 20, so you could pay everyone the promised 0.005 without making a draw. Hopefully SafeDice admin will let us know who is the winner and 2nd place, if not, you could manually check every player. Edit: I've just contacted loljosh |

no idea about that, in fact he has already sent his fund to escrow, but still wondering how will we know the winner since he leave this forum
Did he? Who's the escrow? Maybe admin will resolve the issue if W-D is not back anytime soon Edit: OK, I see loljosh is the escrow |

So, goodbye guys, I realized that once you lose all your Bitcoins, you will lose interest.
...
As painful as it is, it's not the end of the world. Shit happens but life goes on. Take some time-off, learn your lesson and get back on the horse. Hope to see you around again. ps. Would be nice if you let everyone know about the SD promo campaign you've started: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=949266.0 |

What about Android?
Most of people who got scammed lost their BTC on shady exchanges, how's OS relevant in this case?
It says mobile OS, ... He must have updated the poll, there was no such option when I posted. |

Wish we would tell what exactly was different about BurtW and other LBC sellers..
probably the volume ........... Probably not: The indictment says: involved the transport and transmission of funds that were known to the defendant to have been derived from a criminal offense and were intended to be used to promote and support unlawful activity I wonder what that's about. I doubt that he was knowingly helping the Silk Road or anything like that... Likely a sting operation, in which he agreed to proceed with BTC transaction knowing the funds will be used for something illegal. |

http://www.coindesk.com/hong-kong-exchange-mycoin-disappears-387m-reports-claim/If true, the supposed losses are a staggering amount, although this estimate is based on the company's own earlier claims that it served 3,000 clients who had invested HK$1m ($129,000) each. I wonder if mycoin claimed they had 30,000 clients, would all the news portals dumbly announce 'one of the biggest frauds in the history' or would they do their homework and present some reliable info.
