[1500 BTC is the absolute minimum. He earned much more, because people were daytrading nakowa like crazy. Doge-dice also rakes in some money.

At launch, the commission was 1%. Later I put it up to 5% and later still, to 10%. So your 'absolute minimum' logic doesn't hold.

People day trading nakowa caused me to get a bunch of commission early, but simply meant that commissions were slightly reduced over the coming months. It was more like an advance than a bonus. As an example, an investor pulls out after a big nakowa loss, pays commission, goes back in later but times it badly and suffers a nakowa win. He's paid commission on lots of future profits already, and won't pay any more until he makes a new high.

[you are currently best in this game but my experience of investment is also worst with your because I lost too much in investment as I put some and your nakova withdraw huge payment from here

Anyone who was with the site when nakowa was winning and stayed with us until now will have made a nice profit. Some pulled out after nakowa's win and so won't have recovered the losses he inflicted.

Think of him as the crash from $32 to $2 in BTC price in 2011. Many sold after that crash, but those who hedl ended up with a profit.

Can someone tell me if OP is known? He seems very trustworthy and he probably makes a good living out of the great casino website he set up but what are the odds he run away with the invested money? People send thousands of btc without knowing the casino owner??

OP here.

I'm not going to run away with the bankroll.  If that was the plan, I would have run when it was around 60k BTC.  Letting people withdraw it down to 30k really isn't something a scammer would do.  A couple of weeks ago the biggest investor asked to withdraw his >9k BTC investment.  I immediately sent him his coins.

I know that doesn't prove anything.  Maybe I'm just a really incompetent scammer...

Also, don't forget that even if I am honest, there's still the chance that armed bandits (freelance or the kind with badges) turn up at my door and demand the bankroll.  So don't risk more than you can afford to lose, and I'll do my best to take good care of it.

Would like to mention my complaint here.

I am interested in buying 0.80 to 1.00 BTC and come into the chat and offer to buy BTC if anyone is selling. Since dice can be a quick money maker or loser for players I figured this could be a place where I could buy the BTC I am looking for.

I quickly stated that I am open to escrow and such and immediately was told I am a scammer and such. People kept harassing me saying I am a scammer when I am not.

Look at my trust page here and you will see I don't do anything of the sort. This really pissed me off how I did nothing and was called a scammer. I am perfectly fine with escrow and for those trusted higher then me I send first or ask for escrow. It was bullshit I was accused of being a scammer by the whole Just-Dice community when all I did was make an offer to buy BTC and in a safe way (with escrow).

I'm sorry you were called a scammer.

We do get a lot of people in the chat trying to run their paypal scams, where they buy BTC with paypal then reverse the transaction, so I guess people have become too quick to judge.

I'd also prefer if currency trading doesn't happen in the Just-Dice chat.  There are much better places, such as #bitcoin-otc on freenode, where you can find people who are gathered for the purpose of making trades.

you guys are #1 at my site

http://cryptobettingindex.com/

congrats. soon to hit 1 billion bets Cool

I don't know if you're updating that by hand, but if so, maybe this is helpful:

https://just-dice.com/api/info

It gives you a JSON string, like this:

{"bets":940538867,"wagered":511955246238720,"invested":3182887631079,"profit":1506855531720}

The amounts are in satoshis.

You can replace 'just' with 'doge' too.

I guess invested(bankroll) and cold wallet dont have to match. there can be funds in the cold wallet that are not invested currently and thus dont show on the site.

That's exactly it.

The site holds player balance and the bankroll.  Most of the time there's very little held in player balances.  Some players withdraw their coins when they're done playing.  Others "invest" when they're done playing.  Almost nobody leaves coins in their balance on-site without investing them.

When the cold wallet balance is higher than the site's bankroll, that's a sign that someone has done exactly that, with a significant amount.

The biggest 5 player balances currently are 222, 126, 42, 41, 38 BTC, with a total of around 600 BTC in player balances.

It doesn't seem big enough to worry about, relative to the size of the bankroll (currently ~32k BTC), so in terms of proof of solvency, showing that the cold wallet roughly matches the size of the bankroll seems good enough.

hi,

When do you plan to disclose server seed on bets?

It's 5 days since I made this bet and bunch of others and no way to verify results as you still not showing "server seed"

I'm sorry this isn't more clear.

Some sites change the server seed every bet, which makes it unbearably annoying to verify your rolls.

Other sites change the server seed ever 24 hours, which means you have to wait up to 24 hours before you can verify your rolls.

Just-Dice changes the server seed when (and only when) you click the 'randomize' button.  So you can decide for yourself how often you want it changed.  When you change it, the previous one is revealed.

tl;dr: just click 'randomize' in the top right

The two biggest investors have divested a lot.

You're reading that wrong. The biggest investor left, and the 2nd biggest moved up to 1st place.

If you follow the coins from the cold wallet on the blockchain you can see them still sitting idle.

Wow -
So roughly 66k bitcoins were stolen after MtGox freeze?  Who lost that much and is still afloat?


I don't see where you're getting that number from, but even if it is correct, 66k of malleated bitcoins doesn't mean any coins were stolen. TM doesn't cause loss unless coupled with really bad software.
6870  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge-Dice.com : Play or Invest : 1% House Edge : Banter++ on: March 26, 2014, 05:52:09 PM
So how is this site different from justdice? is it because it uses doge coins?

If so nice idea , and good luck with this site.

It's pretty much just a direct clone of just-dice.com, yes.

Thanks. Smiley

Can my housemate and I play JD using different computers but same public ip?

The only problem is with the chat.  If you both talk in the chat on different accounts but the same IP address within a few seconds of each other, it will mute you both for a while.  This was put in place in an attempt to combat the problem of the chat box being spammed by people using multiple accounts on a single IP address.
6872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Just-Dice.com : Invest in 1% House Edge Dice Game on: March 24, 2014, 09:11:14 PM
I sometimes had the impression that just-dice might be the first step in hackers washing stolen coins from MtGox or elsewhere. I mean its easy to clean there and when i see how people came in with thousands of bitcoins that they played away in an instant i asked myself who has this money and where is it from. Now it slowed down.

Is there a competitor that could take the bets? I dont know of another site with similar max profits.

Maybe a player survey would be a good thing in case player miss something.

One day there was a guy in the JD chat asking how he could get 100 different deposit addresses for a single account at one go.  When I asked why he wanted them, he said he needed to launder a large number of coins.

Up until then, Just-Dice would give you a new deposit address each time you used your previous one, but this was apparently too cumbersome for this launderer.  Upon hearing this, I changed the site so that now each account gets a single deposit address no matter how many times they deposit.

I don't know if this change was responsible for the site seeing less large deposits and withdrawals, but that's possible.
6873  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin to be added to BTCchina - according to Bitcoin Group on: March 24, 2014, 05:12:55 PM
he's not going to put a clone coin of litecoin on his exchange and I'll put up 50 Ltc to anyone who thinks it will happen in 2014.

You're on! My 50 DOGE against your 50 LTC says it will.
6874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Forum now hosting the Bitcoin Wiki on: March 23, 2014, 08:32:51 AM
task one. remove Luke-Jr's editing privileges. he has done more damage then support of facts on the bitcoin wiki over the years.

Funny you should say that... i remember reading a few things in it that didnt belong and reeked of someones personal motives. Tried to fix it but not interested in paying to fix some turds graffiti.

Paying wouldn't help. Luke doesn't allow you to fix his graffiti. He doesn't even allow discussion of his junk on the discussion pages.

See this edit for example in which he deletes a perfectly reasonable comment from Gavin, or this ugliness which he won't allow anyone to fix. We need a simple page explaining the units. It absolutely doesn't need to talk about silly base 16 units that aren't supported and that nobody uses. Check that page's history to see how many times people have tried to fix it only to have Luke revert their fix.
6875  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If I loaned you 1 bitcoin today, how could i expect you to repay if value rises? on: March 23, 2014, 01:12:58 AM
If I loaned you 1.00000000 bitcoin's today, which has a value somewhere around the arbitrary number of whatever value $600 i really supposed to represent, With a 10 year term.

If bitcoin rises in dollar value over 10 years by a multiple of 10, or the dollar devalues by a factor of 10, how could I reasonably expect repayment of the original loan of 100 million satoshi's.

If you loaned me 1 BTC today, I'd add it to the Just-Dice bankroll and over time it would almost certainly grow in BTC terms.  By keeping it in BTC we're immune from currency fluctuations.

Let me help you guys out of your hole. Move your coins to a safe place as soon as you can!  Roll Eyes

The problem is that even if you keep your coins somewhere safe and reliable the people you send coins to still use blockchain.info's wallet, and blame you when they don't see the coins you send them.
6877  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is Blockchain.info proving to be completely incompetent? on: March 21, 2014, 07:45:08 PM
Transactions are still taking forever to show a single confirmation, while other block services are showing 6+ confirmations.

What is the issue here?

* transactions made from the blockchain.info wallet are taking a long time to confirm

or

* confirmed transactions are taking a long time to be shown on blockchain.info

or

* something else

?

For a very long time now I've been annoyed by blockchain.info's tendency to fail to show some unconfirmed transactions at all.  I make a transaction to someone, they complain that "it didn't come", I check and every node I look at has the transaction in their mempool, but blockchain.info's website doesn't seem to know about it.  I then use https://blockchain.info/pushtx to manually tell them about it, and it shows up.  Or I wait, and it shows up once it is in a block.

This happens quite regularly, to maybe 1% of the transactions I make.

I don't understand how a site as well connected as blockchain.info can miss so many transactions as they bounce around the network.

Bets is number of bets
why bets is a fractional number?

I'm not sure.  I expect it's because you're looking at a point on the chart somewhere between two data points.

If you zoom in a lot you see mostly whole numbers.
6879  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Just-Dice.com : Invest in 1% House Edge Dice Game on: March 18, 2014, 04:41:21 AM
Dooglus, could you tell us what the return so far would be for someone who invested 1 BTC on day 1 and never divested? Curious to know the percent of interest someone from the very beginning has made so far.

I'm not sure.  I wish I had thought to make an account with 1 BTC invested on the day of launch and leave it untouched.

The best I can do is an account which invested 1.727 BTC at Thu Jul 11 20:01:47 2013, hasn't touched it since, and now has 2.04610131 BTC invested.  But the site launched about 3 weeks earlier than that.

That's 18.4772% growth in ~8 months.
6880  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Just-Dice.com : Invest in 1% House Edge Dice Game on: March 17, 2014, 01:53:21 AM
does anyone know what means the bets tab on bitcoinproject.net? What is the difference between wagered? the numbers in btc on Y on both tabs

Bets is number of bets, and wagered is amount wagered?

I guess the axis is labelled wrongly.
