I've made a small command line program leveraging my Node.js API wrapper. You can download it here. Please note that you must have Node.js installed to use it. 1. Download and extract the files into their own directory. 2. In the text editor of your choice, edit app.js and edit the text near the top that says YOUR_API_KEY and replace it with your bitcoin private key from the API. If you haven't made an API key yet, you can do this under your account settings. 3. Open up a command prompt/terminal in that directory and run 4. When you're ready to run it, run Here's what it looks like:   Basically it only makes bets and can read your investments back to you, but it could gain more functionality in the future if there is demand. Cheers |

Moooonu (Ultra as I know him) has always been reasonable and respectful to me. I would vouch for him as well.

Ethan, a small change I would appreciate is a couple modals would be a little smoother if they auto focused the text input box, the one that comes to mind is the tip dialog with 2FA enabled. (Just a QoL change because sometimes there's only a few seconds left on the OTP when I pull out the app and then I fumble around and misclick trying to hit the input box). (Basically I'm saying I'm clumsy).
Also, I'm not sure if it's intentional but the color is slightly different on the user's own name when being mentioned than when shown when the user types in a command (#ff0000 in the mention vs #e83900 in the command)

Thank you Ethan and RBG for the clarification regarding investmen
One suggestion I really hope you take on board is to allow those who have invested in the site (like me) to be able to retrieve the faucets and 'rain' that's offered. After all, part of the profits from the investments are used to pay for this stuff., there's no reason to disadvantage investors, and occasionally i'd like to get the small amount of coins to play around with betting.
I know you say players will abuse this but the easiest way around this is to introduce a small divest fee that say, is removed should the investment me opened longer than x number of days. That would stop the abuse and I'm sure investors would be happy with that.
Investors can already get the rain |

YES, starting today YOLOdice fully supports Segwit!
Here's what it means in details:
1. Everyone just got a new Segwit (P2SH-P2WPKH) deposit address (that starts with 3...). Old addresses are and will be working too!
2. Most of our Hot Wallet funds will be moved to Segwit addresses.
3. Hopefully this opens a way for cheaper withdrawals and saves us from bloated mempool issues.
Cheers,
Ethan
Awesome! |

70 BTC+ in transaction fees over the last 6 months on JUST withdrawals  70% covered by us.  That's great and all but why don't you switch to SegWit addresses and cut that number by ~1/3  |

Hello, I'm here to offer a referral sharing program for anybody that's interested. Simply sign up with this referral link, and I'll give you half of what I get (0.1%) of your wagered amount back. No strings attached. If you have already signed up for an account and you create a new one but are not listed under my referrals, there's nothing I can do. If you plan to wager large amounts, please message me here or on the site first (My user ID is 21102) so I can verify that you're listed as a referred player before you start playing. If you have any special questions, post here and I'll answer them. |

You are correct, the system is provably fair, but that doesn't mean that they can't place the mines on the most clicked squares? I'm not taking any benefit from this, i'm not selling or give any affiliate link.
I'm sorry, I wasn't familiar with satoshimines' specific system. They give you the hash of the results plus a random string beforehand, but there is no form of client seed so it is indeed possible for them to choose where to place the mines, but it is impossible for them to change where the mines are after they show you the hash. This means it is theoretically possible to place mines on the most clicked squares. If you have direct evidence of this, I'd like to see it. I've removed my negative trust on you. |

Hello Ethan, unless I'm misunderstanding something, I think investors are not getting a pretty good deal when investing in Yolodice.
It says that profits are taxes 35% in both of the following cases:
- On Sunday evening (on any profit accrued)
- When the investment is closed.
So let's say my investment generates a profit of 0.5BTC for the week and leave the investment open. 0.175BTC will be taken as tax on Sunday evening leaving me with a remaining profit of 0.325BTC.
Now lets say next week some wagerers get lucky and my investment loses 0.5BTC. My investment is now in the red -0.175BTC. I don't get taxed. Fine.
The following week the investment ends up 0.5BTC in the green. My investment is now worth (-0.175 + 0.5 = 0.325BTC) 0.325 again, however now since I made 0.325, that get's taxed 35% leaving me with 0.21125.
So what actually happened was (week 1) +0.5BTC (week 2) 0 BTC (week 3) +0.5BTC
And my investment becomes (week 1) 0.325BTC (week 2) -0.175 BTC (week 3) 0.21125.
The owner takes 57% of the profits making it impossible for me to profit.
Ethan, you say taxes are only taken from amounts not already taxed, but what if the amount taxed is lost and then remade, do you tax it again?
Please clarify that above, I really don't know why you need to take tax off every week. It would make much more sense to me to take the tax off ONLY when the investment is closed..
When commission is taken on the investment, you can see if you click on the investment with the rest of the details what profit the commission was taken up to. So in your example, when you get commission taken the first time, your investment will have a label on it saying that commission was taken up to 0.325 profit. Then, when you lose 0.5 BTC and then get 0.5 BTC back in your example, you still end up at 0.325 BTC net profit, and no more commission is taken because you have not passed your "marker" for commission which is still at that point. Say then your investment grows another 0.5 BTC up to 0.825 BTC profit and then Sunday rolls around and commission is taken again, it would only be taken on the part that has not yet been commissioned, the profit between 0.325 and 0.825 BTC. 0.175 BTC would be taken in commission and your investment would then be 0.65 BTC and the "marker" for commission would then also move up to 0.65 BTC. You can see that when you've made 1 BTC net profit before commission, it's still 35% even if your investment falls in the meantime. |

I like the lightning one, although I'm not sure how well that color gray matches with the orange

Litecoin addition is expected when? Anyone know?
Ethan should be returning from his vacation this weekend, he might be able to answer |

So if you're a programmer, you might be interested in this news, otherwise you probably won't be too excited. I've written a library for Node.js bindings to the YOLOdice API allowing anybody that knows Node.js to easily use the site's API. Check it out here on npm (And the GitHub repo here)Edit: It's actually not working at the moment, let me figure out what I did wrong here |

Working on a Node.js library for interacting with the YOLOdice API. Should make scripting much easier for anybody that can work with Node.js. I'll probably have time to do an early release this weekend.

What are you guys experiences in investing in Yolodice? Is it worth trying? Did you make money or loose? I just started with the minimum amount, just to try. Maybe I will put in more later on.
After about a month I believe I've made around 7% returns |

as I read on different sites they said bots are only to take your money. you cannot win using the bot. so how can you say that your bot will work or maybe your bot some kind of scam.
That's great to collect information about website because it will give you nice idea to visit a good website and you will be 100% safe from scamming websites. The bot is profitable because is taking advantage of how satoshimines is working right now. Bot is taking advantage? Impossible thing to happen.No house would able to let this thing to happen and they would really block if they are exploits in the site and i didnt hear off on a bot that do really make milking on satoshimine site. Consistent and very profitable doesnt exist on this gambling world. It is very possible to take advantage on satoshimines because it is placing mines in the most clicked squares. Because of that, the bot can be profitable. That's impossible because the system is provably fair. They do not "place mines in the most clicked squares" and telling people that is incredibly misleading. I've given you negative trust because of this. Stop trying to take advantage of people for your own personal benefit. |

I've finished adding Hilo to my verifier, which now means there's only 2 more games to be finished. For the uninitiated, here's the link.Edit: I've finished the remaining two games because they were very similar. The verifier is now complete!  |

Hey all. Hey ethan_nx I was wondering.
How difficult would it to be to convert Yolodice into an Android app ? Not just a strait copy of the site to an app I mean an actual Yolodice app with all the features of the site in it. Would this be something to do ? I just wonder how much interest such an app would bring, because Yolodice is doing new things all the time and the first to do them too so why not the first to have a fully functioning dice casino app ? You could add noises to the dice maybe even an animation of the roll. The big thing would be to have the app for regular users to make it easier to chat, so think of it as a Yolodice chat app too. Just an idea I thought I would present.
I use the website on my phone very often. The site is heavily optimized for mobile devices and is just as good of an experience as you'd get with a first-party app. You should try it out. |
