Neg repped the hell out of "Ejaculation" as he has received his payment and not kept his sig displayed.
I encourage you all to do the same.

This kind of thing is expected to happen.
There are a few posts here in this thread warning OP about the idea of upfront payment, but it seems OP didn't take the advice serious.

More importantly he has kept everyone confused by not giving out the signatures in OP. I bet a lot are waiting for him to do so.

I do not see why he does not publish them.

it was stated users just need to place the link and can use signature of their own of their until they decide on an official one.

but if some people want more then a generic link in this signature this one seems to a popular choice Grin
and easy to modify

584  Economy / Gambling / Re: WIN88.ME - 0.8% EDGE - SIGNATURE BONUS + NEW INVEST OPTION on: August 22, 2014, 03:16:27 AM

Your example is has not been true for me as i had 3 investment set at 99.0 edge before you made this post, these are my results from 99.0, the top one has been there for about 3 days, the 2nd 2 days, and the 3rd is under 1 day, so how is possible that others using the same edge as me are ahead?  They have all suffered signifigant loss, and if your site has a policy of automatically closing they will never recover, and investors lose completely.  
Unless there is a bug in how investors funds are being pooled or used should not everyone at 99.0 be ahead together if they been invested for a few days?  The investment protection is not working for the edge you recommended.

bigger bets and more whale players for investors means they will have their investment drop to 0 faster and be booted out the bankroll unable to recover when house begins to win again

I cannot even close them now without taking a further loss as the site says you deduct a 0.5% fee to further penalize the investor if they close their investment.   Undecided





The numbers you show for those investments are cumulative result across all edges that investment counted for.
So in your case it looks like you have been moving your investments between different edges (correct me if I am wrong).

We encourage you to keep your investments in since they will pay off, but you should do whatever you feel comfortable with.
There of course is opportunity for some short term variance, but your current positions have already improved from what you posted and you are talking about being down 1 to 2% and again, these numbers should the current position of each investment which could have been moved between different edges.



What your saying about the cumulative result makes sense BUT I have not moved any investments into the 99.0 that were showing negative profit, the top one at 99.0 as been in that edge from the beginning and has not been moved between edges,  the 2nd one at 99 was move up from a lower edge that had receive no game and was at the original 0.01 so no losses or results to carry over there, the last one was also move up from a lower edge as it was not getting any games and had no losses.  so only 2 were moved but all 3 began 99.0 edge at 0.01. The first investment at top in 99.0 did show a small profit for the first 2 days before it completely reversed and is now negative profit,  the only one i had at 99.9 was as i said before was closed by staff when it got low and making a complete loss. 
I would like to invest a larger amount but these results are making me unsure of the system and if its really working as intended.  I never had a result like this on other sites I invested in, they always remain ahead even if only by a small percentage which I assume is because the investment is pooled together by site so that their amount invested equals their share of the house profits of the total across all investors, which of course I expect it to change as investors added or removed.

If the 99.0s I have all reach 0, then what happens, will they also be removed like my 99.9 was?  Either players are extremely lucky and the house is always losing but then as you said others are ahead at the same edge, as my 3 x 99.0 all began in that edge at 0.01, how can it be then these are all showing loss. 

Quote
I have reduced the fee on losses temporarily from 0.5% to 0%.  The reason for the fee is not to penalize you more - it's rather to avoid people making huge short term sweeps.

I not sure I understand what you are trying to prevent here?  I can understand and see a need for a fee or method to prevent people exploiting the faucet via investment every few minutes, but don't think a fee should be charged on investments that is unchanged or negative profit and been active for a reasonable period of time. (eg 1 day)

** 0.8% EDGE **
Since investors can invest at multiple edges and players get the best edge, we sometimes have even better than 1% edge.
Currently we have bankroll at 0.8% Edge

** NEW INVEST OPTION **
New investors keep 90% of house profits on Win88 Dice.  Fee is only taken on closing your position, so your investment money compounds faster (i.e. no weekly fees like the others!)

INVESTMENTS
==============
We are the first Bitcoin Casino to allow investments at multiple edges!
** Minimum Investment 0.01BTC ~ $6 **
** Invest from 0.1% (99.9) to 3.5% (96.5) house edge **
** Cashout Investments any time **
** Investment Protections + Dynamic Maximum Bets to Protect Upside **
** Users automatically play the best edge available **
** Move investments between edges with 0% fee **

https://win88.me/dice

please explain investment protection as it did not work for me.  I had my investment closed without consent after it suffered 90% loss.  Is it a bug?
 Why are investments not allowed to recover after losses? Investment is worse then playing dice if it only flows one way.  Undecided  




The investment protection works like this: maximum payout and maximum bet is dynamically set after every roll and set such that on any given roll only a small fraction of the bankroll can be lost.  Since this is dynamic, it would take a very very long string of player wins to have any effect.  

You invested a very small amount at odds of 99.99% which are effectively dead even.  This is a very rare edge case - when there are such a small amount of satoshi invested in any edge actually, even with investment protection given that there is 2000 satoshi faucet, the handful of satoshi only would of course have a set of people have string of wins and affect a small investment like that.  If bankroll is sufficient (i.e. free play is negligible effect) then investment protection does pay off.

An example of this is that 99.0 (1% edge) right now has the bulk of investors and every single one of them (I just checked is ahead).  
Some are already up 4x their original investment.

Even 99.9 or 99.99 would also come out ahead with even a relatively small bankroll.  To show this, I'll do this right now (put our house funds to play at 99.9 and share the results).  

I literally just tried 99.9 for a few hundred rounds with initial investment a little over 0.1 BTC and here are the results.
Results are even better now from when I took the screenshot.  



And here are 99.0 results for one win88 investor who started with 0.3 last week:



** My recommendation unless you have mega BTC to invest is to invest with the crowd at 99.0.
** The more that people invest, the better everyone does since larger bankroll means bigger bets and more whale players





Your example is has not been true for me as i had 3 investment set at 99.0 edge before you made this post, these are my results from 99.0, the top one has been there for about 3 days, the 2nd 2 days, and the 3rd is under 1 day, so how is possible that others using the same edge as me are ahead?  They have all suffered signifigant loss, and if your site has a policy of automatically closing they will never recover, and investors lose completely.

Looks like the caps are 10mm diameter with a 5mm lead spacing.  Height is around 20mm, but there is plenty of room for taller ones if needed.

I'm getting these for replacements:

http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/UHW1C152MPD/493-6909-ND/3664326

People shouldn't have to pay for replacements or have to fix an new product themselves. it should work perfectly from the box.  i'm very concerned i'm still waiting to receive my batch 1 prosperoX-1s ordered in Dec, and the number of posts from people claiming they received broken sub standard units is unsettling.  
Its bad enough the delays and being forced to accept an obsolete product, but something that doesn't even work or raises questions if its even safe to plug in and leave running and not going burn the house down or blow a fuse while i sleep...  Sad

rynomster aka sdcdev is now claiming he fixed the staking bug for Cinni.  such lies  Angry

he didnt fix it, he ignored and then abandoned Cinnicoin and started shadowcoin.

Ryno has worked with Cinnicoin. He has stated that he fixed their staking bug, as well as helping to write the encrypted messaging framework. Ryno is the only one with access to the GitHub repository and has attached a screenshot of being logged in.




well i'm waiting for some explanations about this ^

Is Cinnicoin = Ryno?  either way the staking bug was not fixed so people going in ShadowCoin should be aware the SDC dev has been making false claims perhaps to boost confidence and encourage adoption of his coins.

When I click anything on the site, my ping shoots up to over 2000? There is something terribly wrong, my Internet has amazing speeds, and has 55MB download speed. What's up with that?

I noticed the same thing, it is very laggy and slow.    Undecided

Another thing i noticed is people placing 0 btc bets, it seems completely pointless when there is a faucet they can claim free satoshis to play with.  Maybe the 0 btc betting is contributing to some of the lag?

Difficulty jumped from about 0.01 to 0.014. That's 40% more which means much more new miners. Unfortunatelly they all go to one pool  Angry

are you saying the pool cant be trusted?  i dont think you need to worry, if UTC become more profitable to mine, other profit-switching multipools will switch to it or add the option to mine Scrypt ChaCha


I doubt there is anything nefarious going on with the pool.  But I have to admit it did lower my expectations when I found there was only one pool with almost all the hash rate.  I've come to find the this coin is held up by its community of loyal followers.  One of the few coins that's actually worth holding onto.

UTC already pops up to the top occasionally with Kbombas Profit Calculator tool.  Which could explain some of the new miners.
https://github.com/KBomba/cuda-profit-calc/releases

The only problem with having profit-switching multipools targeting UTC will be a drop in price as it gets mercilessly pounded by the selling from miners dumping it.

Again, I'll offer up my pool.  http://utc.tumblingblock.com.   There's 0% tax.  There will be orphans until a decent hashrate achieved.  At 70kh/s we were getting orphans, but that's a very small percentage of the hash rate.

Its also PoW/PoS so should have better security against high hashrate pools assuming the PoS has now been implemented and working as intended.  Pool would need both to be the majority hashrate on UTC and the majority owner of UTC to try something naughty i believe.  So pool having a high rate is less of an issue for hybrid coin.  As I understand it the risks are alot higher for coins that are pure PoW like bitcoin with majority hashrate (eg: Cex.io) or for pure PoS coins when exchange owns majority of coins (eg Mintpal and Vericoin), so being and staying PoS/PoW is an understated advantage of UTC.  Smiley

i think it be okay with high number of miners, it would only hurt UTC future if they attempted something malicious with the blockchain and i believe the pool was created by UTC team itself (?) for the purpose of supporting ultracoin so it would be senseless for them to try that.
its a different story for other pools that exist to mine coins for immediate profit and are not part of the UTC team, then definitely it would be a concern if it had too much hashrate.

Hi All,


i was just wondering if any of you have invested in the casino using the invest option (min. of 0.01 BTC). I was thinking of investing in the casino to see what kind of returns i get, but was hoping someone could throw some light on this. I have always read that the casino holds all the aces and is a safe bet to invest in. I am not sure if it is the same with BTC casinos though, as they are supposed to be provably fair!? If anyone has invested already, what do you suppose would be my return for 0.01 BTC? Sure, i know it is luck and one lucky streak could ruin my investment but then i am betting that the casino always comes out the winner. Admin, can you advise what kind of returns i can look at?

its buggy or I misunderstood how it works.  i invested at 99.99% edge and it completely zeroed in a few hours.  i might have misunderstood but i thought as long as its open it would ride with the house, but seems if your investment is reduced too much from players winning they will close it automatically and you lose completely with no chance to recover when players begin to lose again :\




Damn, now that puts me off. I would have thought riding with the house would be profitable, but it appears not to be the case. Do all BTC casinos have the same issue? I have seen quite a few on here that offer their members investment opportunities. I wish they were like fiat casinos, unfortunately fiat casinos offer no such investment option (AFAIK). Oh well, maybe i will just send over some BTC and play to see if i am able to win big!  Grin

not on others, at least not in my experience. on other sites my investment can drop below what i put in and then recover past it when the house starting winning more (also depends on how many others invested and activity), obviously if they get automatically closed then it shuts out that possibility.  But i'm still waiting for an answer from the support to clarify for me.  Support sent me some email about having to close my investment but the email was corrupted and i only see the subject heading, not the message, so waiting for them to get back to me.  Only win88 can really explain so we all know hows its suppose to behave.

595  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Cinni | PoS | First Coin With Private Encrypted Messaging | No premine on: August 20, 2014, 09:37:47 AM
Can i safely store my Cinni in the wallet? I now hold it on mintpal and cryptsy. Or should I wait until the next update (due to errors)

you can safely store your cinni in your addresses you owned. bugs are superficial and client side they have no effect on blockchain which is secure, coins don't get lost its the wallet.dat infomation on your addresses that can become incorrect after staking, and people get their coins stuck as wallet.dat attempts to spend coins/inputs that don't exist after PoS.  safe way to use the wallet if you stake your balance is to always use the repairwallet in console before spending cinni.  

You can disable staking/PoS by setting reservebalance in .conf to a higher number then your balance, so coins will never stake.  
if you dont plan on staking this is probably a good idea until the fixed wallet makes an appearance, good news is that you still keep coin age by disabling staking, so even if a new wallet that fixes PoS does not arrive for months, when you renable staking at that time you get the full interest you are entitled to on the balances you have kept from the date you withdrew to that address, which makes alot more sense then keeping them on mintpal for the same time waiting for price jump.

Did everything! -reindex a couple of times, replaced the wallet.dat with a backup and then rescanned! But nothing Sad
The coins are probably lost forever! Wasn't a big amount but it is a big question mark on the software! Hopefully someone here will be able to tell me what really happened! Sad

Did you dump the private keys and reimported them into a new wallet?

yes! it doesnt show up Sad

then only other possibility i can think of is that you tried to spend coins/inputs that no longer existed currently because the wallet that did not have up to date information on the addresses - you said the wallet was not in sync with blockchain so it would had a incorrect balance displayed at the time you tried to spend.

someone else might know another reason for your problem, but afaik if the coins are present in the addresses on blockchain they should now be present in your new wallet.dat.  bitcoins dont cease to exist, they either move to another address or stay where they are.  use blockchain.info and see the balance for each of your addresses then check against your new wallet.dat, it should all match now.
