So Darkcoin, for the purposes of integrating it on Dividend Rippler behaves just like any other chain based currency, there are transactions that get put in blocks.

But then there is InstantX, will this require any special processing on my part or is it just a layer above all else to say "you can trust this 0 conf transaction" yet still propagares de 0 conf tx via the common paths?

Darksend I assume operates parallel to all this and is completely irrelevant for my purposes of processing ins and outs unless my own darkcoin daemon gets that feature turned on, right?

I only need the 1 to run my tests, but once integrated I like to keep a non trivial amount of all currencies we trade in as a kind of "insurance" in the event something goes wrong and it is my fault

Right now I'll be afk for a bit but as soon as I return I'll provide the address and we can discuss a larger amount to trade, ok?

Can you tell me how many drk you'd have to sell, quote me a price you'd keep for an hour or so in whichever coins you'd like to trade in?

Thanks!

I only need fractions to test but it all depends on the rate, poloinex shows last price of btc 0.00106207, how many drk can I get at or below that price? Also, what coin would you take for your drk? That would also make a difference on how many drk I'd like to get.

But all in all, I just need 1 DRK to start with.

Hey guys, I'm integrating Darkcoin into Dividend Rippler and I need funds to do actual testing, and since I'd rather not have to register to some exchange I'm unfamiliar with I ask thee; who has some drk at a good rate to sell me for btc, ltc or nmc?

Thanks for the feedback, and yes we are considering adding darkcoin support.

It is I, Leclerc...

Ok, PM sent. Your post says the spotify accounts are legal, can you also state that the method you are using to buy them is legit? "I have my methods" doesn't quite equate to "I'm not doing anything illegal to obtain these"

Hmm, so for $1 in BTC one time payment you will pay for one (two?) spotify premium account, for ever? That's not a sustainable business model, assuming you do pay the $9.99 p/m is it?

I really want to take you on this offer but I really wanted to understand how you can do this without using a stolen CC first

Sorry about that, there was a glitch on our side. Please confirm it is all correct now and let us know if there's anything missing still.

And 3 weeks shy of 2 years running, we have a winner for the BTC Pick 5 game! Congratulations to the owner of 1NLGxRunq5MYR5YWQycRJKConHcpaBrUvk  who made 2.277 BTC out of the 0.1 bet made 16 months ago... I really hope the wallet still exists!

There was a little trouble getting this one paid out as I haven't made any updates to TAABL or DiceOnCrack in quite a while and TAABL particularly was trying to send "signal" transactions to all betting addresses, in values of 1 to 5 satoshis each, which is now called dust and can't be propagated. This means that no signals are going out anymore, of course. It also means that I'll be doing some much needed updating to these sites if there is any interest in using them which, by the looks of it, there isn't

If you enjoyed playing these games before or want to try them now, let us know!

For those that haven't been around for that long, TAABL was one of the first bitcoin games to come to live and certainly the first automated bitcoin lottery. Of course many things have changed along the way and are bound to change more still, but it is a bit of bitcoin history nonetheless...

DividendRippler now supports Stellar.
 
Please be aware that Stellar support is still being tested and while we have done everything to make this as safe as possible there are still potential bugs. Also for the moment all DR transactions (not just those for involving Stellar) are being manually processed, so delays are to be expected.
 
If all the above didn't scare you off please do test the platform and let us know of any problem you might encounter!

The recipient of the double send has stepped forward. Thanks!

While I was pondering about removing the manual tx step, making it automated again, a screw up happened;

It looks like for a reason I can't yet understand a double payment of 5 BTC.dr was sent to the ripple account rBRXcf7BYs2CN7GfAAXjLQPEh7d46BP9RE. Some links;

It's our fault, though I'm still investigating why this happened, but even though 5 BTC is not a fortune it is almost the sum total of fees we've collected since the site started, so it would be great it the recipient could return that to us

Sorry for the continued delays in releasing the transactions, and thanks for everyone's business!

Not really. We will act as a gateway for each of them, which is obviously not the same thing. We might change this in the future but the approach we've taken is the simplest we could come up with, allowing users to register stellar addresses just like it is already done for ripple.

Ripple's resource usage has decreased significantly with the continued development. Disk IO is still the largest bottleneck but that's just the nature of it. Stellar right now is like ripple was back in the day, huge, heavy and slow moving. I've been told by Jed they are doing a complete rewrite of the core to address all these shortcomings, we'll see what comes of it.

Our target is to support both ripple and stellar.

As it has been pretty obvious, DividendRippler has been lagging behind for the past 3 or 4 days. Our rippled instance has been struggling to keep up with the network for unknown reasons.

What is not common knowledge is that we have been preparing a major update to DR behind the scenes for a few months and while it still lacks some testing we were waiting on the Stellar network to get stable (yes, Stellar support is part of the update) before finishing up and going live.

Unfortunately the version of DR that is lagging behind (lets call it old version) depends on a not up to date version of rippled and does signing of transactions using RPC, so we can't really use external rippled servers securely, which is another part that got updated on the new DR version, so a decision had to be made; at the rate currently sustained it will take DR another 4 days just to retrieve the ledger history and there's no guarantee that history will not become corrupt like it has in the past, forcing us to start from scratch.

The alternative is to get the beta quality new DR version live, and manually process transactions until we're sure it is safe. We wanted to make a full announcement with a timeline and all, but since DR isn't really working that's all moot, I'm just finishing up some QA and I'll get the new version live in a bit, after which I'll process all pending operations and hopefully things will return to normal.

Once that's all taken care of we'll have a new post describing the visible changes that were made (though a lot of work has been put in stability and security, which you will not see). Our apologies for all the waiting for those of you with pending operations.

For those of you on the higher notches of the "healthy paranoia" dial, we have changed the IP address for https://dividendrippler.com. It might take a day or two to propagate but most will be already seeing the new server @ 178.62.229.242

All gambling is based on luck, all gambling sites have odds in their favour thus you need more luck. I run diceoncrack.com which offers automated martingale strategies and I can't say the house always wins even though odds are slightly biased towards the house, but I can say the average is always positive for the house, as it has to be or there would be no house.

There's this saying in poker that it's not about knowing when to bet, it's knowing when to fold. That is true, I believe, for all gambling and it is most certainly true here. You might walk out with a hefty profit but it is hard to not fall for the psychological trap where after a winning streak you believe that since you've been winning you'll continue to win... and that's where martingale is particularly unforgiving

There will be a scheduled downtime of DividendRippler Monday, November 3rd, at 20:00 UTC for 2 hours.
