It's still far too difficult to get cash into the ecosystem. At least for Americans.

I can use mtgoz, but that incurs wire transfer fees

I can use virwox, but you get hit with many 2.5% commissions (I think there a fee to make initial deposit, another to sell dollars and buy lindens, another to sell lindens and buy BTC, and yet another to withdraw those BTC.

I can use campbx, but I have to wait 30 days before dwolla will let them let me withdraw those btcs.

Or I can use local bitcoins. But everyone there seems to charge 10-20% more than the mtgox price.

That's why people mine even when mining costs more than just buying the coins.

This is a good point. I also think it is fishy that it shows 10x the PPS. In fact, the actual payout to me in the pool stayed the same, despite the hugely increased PPS & shares. It doesn't seem to really have boosted my results. I don't understand how I can have more shares and pps and not more XPM payout though... What's going on here?

That's "max profit per roll", not "max bet".  You don't really need to have 38k BTC to offer 382 profit per bet so long as you don't mind a higher risk of ruin.

Now listprimerecords shows an 'ismine' field which indicates whether you are the miner of it.
It would be included in v0.1.2 release build soon!

I just received an email from someone telling me they bought a new phone and so lost access to google auth, and so can't log in.

They want me to reset their google auth so they can log in again.

This seems wrong to me.  If I reset google auth on demand, what's the point of even offering it?

So please, make sure you have a backup of your google auth secret, in case you ever buy a new phone and so lose access.  If you already have google auth enabled on your account but don't have a backup of the secret, please PM me and I'll temporarily disable it so you can make a backup.

I don't know, but he's not made himself known in the JD chat for several weeks now.  The pirateat40 whose name he copied is the only one anyone will think of when you mention the name.

The mumus version gives me 29000 PPS on ONE of my cpus alone. That is greater than the total of all 4 of my CPUs with HP8. Is this correct??

mechs: is the 0.34beta version of jhprimeminer now as fast as HP8 now that jhprimeminer has those algorithm changes?

Thanks for the info.

Will mining with the HP8 (high performance) client work in pools? I just see the notation that it is preferred for solo mining.

If it will work for pools, is it better than jhprimeminer?

The initial plans for a redesign came to fruition before j-d launched. Quite frankly I wasn't 100% satisfied with our initial final website, it was lacking in many features which should be core to any gambling site. We've broken down our upgrades into a "tick-tock" model, new PrimeDice will come out and we will phase out the old PrimeDice as PD1 is not nearly as great in any regard. Within the coming weeks after that we'll be working in small new features, within a month hopefully an additional big feature. Our aim right now is to complete a small amount of back-end work that needs to be done, put on final touches and test.

We want to put more emphasis on testing this time around as PD1 was initially mired by major issues which hampered the experiences for our bettors such as the slow roll speeds people experienced on and off for the first few weeks. I want to say that we will launch this within a week, it is easily possible but I want to ensure that it is perfect. That being said it will launch when it meets our standards. We're also looking to give more back to the community which we had initially intended, there will be a variety of giveaways/competitions for both gamblers and non-gamblers in the coming months. One of the ways we want to do this is by bringing back our btc bonuses through some sort of faucet specific to each account that can't be abused by bots. Can't promise that this will be present in the first iteration.

Going back to your question though, we're hoping to keep pushing and raise the bar. Dooglus has done an incredible job especially when you take into account that j-d has only been around a bit over a month and the fact that he's more or less a one man team not counting his investors. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if j-d encouraged SD to sell so unexpectedly, can only speculate there.

That being said we're looking to hit the ground running and keep up the pace. The online gambling market, bitcoin or fiat, is a very young industry and the opportunity for individuals to have significant autonomy in defining it will not last and thus we're going to work our hardest to achieve this. I see bitcoins becoming massive within the coming years and we're looking to solidify a position as one of the top bitcoin gambling sites before the market becomes saturated.



Edit: Unrelated but if anyone is highly skilled in php please shoot me a PM, we're looking for an addition to our dev team for other projects, Jquery is a plus.

This is an unfair world
please disable GPU mining
