Live stats are better than dead stats.

My screen is small enough that I can't see the roller and the stats at the same time unless I scroll to just the right place.

I don't think that will work... if you look closely, it's an animated gif that is generated when you load the page.

It will count down for a while, then either stop or loop.

You'll need to reload the image occasionally to keep it counting.

15) What's this about, from https://dicebitco.in/about/investments?


I don't see the option you're talking about. Do you really auto-divest investor profits? Earlier you said it wasn't possible to divest profits without divesting principal first, so that's a little confusing:

It's clearly possible to make 10% profits in a week. Or even in a single trade.

But is it possible to make 10% profits every week, and guarantee that?

14) this one's bad too - I just divested 5 BTC, and withdrew it to the deposit address of my other account. The withdrawal shows up as 'unconfirmed' on the site, I see it unconfirmed in my bitcoind transaction pool too, but I don't see it as an unconfirmed deposit on my other account.

Also in the list of withdrawals, it shows up as 0 BTC, not 5 BTC:



My balance was however reduced by 5 BTC.

I'll update with what happens when it confirms.

Edit: it has been confirmed for 5 minutes now, but nothing changed. It still shows as unconfirmed on the account I withdrew from, and the balance on the account I withdrew to is still showing a balance of 0.

tl;dr: Withdrawing from one account to another account's deposit address causes the coins to vanish

I made 2nd withdrawal, of 6 BTC to an address I control. It hit the blockchain immediately, and also showed up as unconfirmed in my account history:



After it had confirmed, I checked again. The wrong transaction was marked as confirmed:



This could be a vector for abuse:

a) withdraw a tiny amount to another account's deposit address
b) withdraw a large amount to your own wallet
c) complain to customer service that the large amount never came
d) hope that they see it as "unconfirmed" in your history, and send it again

Edit2: admin replied to me and credited my account for the missing 5 BTC; says he will fix the bug soon

12) This one is bad... I saw chmosd running a dust martingale sequence, like he's been doing all day, and decided to do the same, to test the robot roll thing. I set it up to increase 100% on lose, and reset on win. I left both "stop" boxes blank, and set the number of rolls to the maximum 800.

I started it, and saw it was betting 1000, 2000, 4000 satoshis. It was working, but 10 times bigger than I meant to. I guess I typed the starting bet wrongly. So I tried to stop it by clicking 'stop robot' but it didn't stop. It stopped doubling on loss, but kept flat-betting 1000 satoshis over and over. To stop it, I tried investing my whole balance, but it was winning faster than I could invest, and I ended up with uninvestable levels of dust. So I put a "1" in the "loss: stop at" box, and that stopped it. It looks like "-- or -- ROLL DICE" would have stopped it too.

tl;dr: the "stop robot" button doesn't reliably stop the robot!

Edit: here's a screenshot showing the bets. The arrow indicates roughly where I hit 'stop':



13) I see now how I made the mistake in the bet size in '12' above. I put 100 satoshis into the regular roller bet box, then clicked 'robot roll', saw a similar looking number in the 'base bet' box, and assumed it was the same. But the 'robot roll' base bet is always reset to 1000 satoshis each time I switch to it. I'd prefer it to default to being 0 or blank rather than 0.00001000

I have some more. Some are kind of nit-picky, but are all intended to help make the site the best it can be.

5) When logging in, I type my 2FA code, but if it changes even a second before I submit it, the site tells me the code is wrong. It's common to accept codes that are wrong by a few timesteps in both directions. People's phone clocks are often off a bit and you'll find yourself swamped with support emails from people unable to log in if you don't allow a little room for error here. I don't know if you "lock" accounts when they fail the 2FA check a few times, but that's important, otherwise you can brute-force it - there are only a million 6 digit codes.

6) I'm able to divest all my coins and gamble them away without having to enter a 2FA code, but I'm not able to change my username without it. Maybe offer the users a choice for which actions they want to have to provide a 2FA code. I would enable 2FA for 'divest' and 'withdraw' at least, but others may only want it on for 'login'.

7) I can't bet at 49%. It gets "rounded" to 49.0002% or something. I mentioned it in the on-site chat and was told that you store the payout multiplier exactly and calculate the chance from that, and so chances are rounded weirdly. I think it is much more important to store the "chance" accurately. If the 'payout' is slightly wrong, then people might win a satoshi more or less than they should - big deal. But if you round "49.0004" to "49.0002" and I roll 49.0003 then there's going to be trouble - rounding errors in the "chance" make the difference between a win and a loss.

8} The "amount currently invested" figure is weird. It doesn't seem to change as the site wins and loses. If I invest 1 BTC and someone wins a little, I would expect my "amount invested" to drop to 0.99999 or something, but it doesn't. If I click 'divest' then I can see an amount available to divest, which does seem to reflect my real "amount currently invested" - I'd like to see that figure change in real-time without having to click 'divest' first.

9) Are there keyboard shortcuts for betting? The "x2" button is quite tiny and hard to hit.

10) The "luck" stat is simply what percentage of bets the player has won. I think it makes more sense to take the chance into account. Winning 3 out of 10 bets at 50% is "unlucky" but winning the same 3 out of 10 at 1% is incredibly lucky. The way the stat currently works, it would show "30%" in both cases, which misses the point.

11) I was in the car today, on my tablet, and wanted to play. I don't remember the long random password on my main account (it's saved, but not in my head), so I made a new account, deposited to it, played, invested. Now I tried setting an email address and it won't let me, because I already used the email address on my other account. The error message isn't very human-readable:

It's not just PrimeDice. Just yesterday I bet 5 BTC at 90% on PRCDice and lost.

What are the odds of that? You're meant to win 90% of the time but that bet won 0% of the time.

Joking aside, the soon-to-be-released PrimeDice 3 changes the provably fair algorithm to use the same server seed until the player changes it. That makes it much easier to verify your rolls than the current system (which changes the server seed every roll, and also uses a daily secret which you can't see until the next day).

The current (PrimeDice 2) system does in theory allow the house to cheat by analysing your betting pattern, assuming you won't change your client seed, and feeding you a series of server seeds pre-designed to give you bad rolls (not that I think they are doing any of this). The new release removes that possibility.

I like the fonts in the new one - the old one used fonts that I don't have, so it looked kind of ugly. But I preferred the black background that's currently in my signature.

Am I allowed to keep the signature I'm currently using? Or better still, have the new one with a dark background?

Isn't that an obvious scam you're advertising in your signature?

"Stable" and "HYIP" don't belong in the same sentence...

I had a look yesterday and the probably fair system was almost exactly the same as JD's except for a change to make it roll between 0 and 99.99 instead of 0 and 99.9999 at JD. There was also a slight problem with it which I pointed out and which will no doubt be fixed before launch.

Save it to a file called prc.py
Edit the file, change the seeds, nonces, and hash to your values
Run "python prc.py"

London is on GMT in the winter and GMT+1 in the summer.

I get it, but maybe the limit is a little low. I deposited 1 BTC and withdrew 1.05 BTC. The max profit is 4 BTC, so my withdrawal wasn't very big at all compared to that.

Also, it would be good (for users and investors) if it was possible to cancel a pending withdrawal. I would have left the coins invested overnight rather than pending once I saw I couldn't withdraw immediately.

Hey, you're welcome. I see you put the wrong address in op. I prefer that you use the one I posted a few posts up.

Thanks.

I very much like the "look and feel" of this site.

I have just a few issues with it:

1) When I switch from the 'home' page to 'my account' and back, it forgets my stake, chance, multiplier. Everything gets reset to the default. It even forgets that I muted the chat, and starts making that loud chirp noise again when people talk.

2) Sometimes even when the chat is muted (according to the speaker-with-an-X symbol), the chat sound still plays when people talk.

3) It doesn't seem to be possible to set your client seed until after you have made 4 bets; I understand you don't want people to be changing it every bet, but you should make an exception for people with 0 bets - they need to be able to set their initial seed and see their initial server seed hash.

4) Consider allowing instant withdrawals. Having to wait for the admin to wake up for a small withdrawal is offputting.

It crashed about a year ago, a couple of months after you turned 19.

So how are you 21 now?

You should try telling the truth. It's easier than trying to keep your lies straight.

Note I asked if you had started to make it right, not finished.

I guess your angry reply can be read as a "no, fuck those guys!"

I have a couple of questions:

1) what do you mean by 'username'? do I have to have an account on your dice site?

2) would it be possible to have a version of the 'hero' sig which doesn't mix serif and sans-serif fonts? Maybe the problem is that I am missing some of the fonts you specify, and so it falls back to an ugly one. Here's how it looks to me:
