Many casinos in the last few months had to take drastic actions against faucets abusers.

In some countries, starting with a free faucet of like 500 Sats and bringing it up to 10000-20000 Sats is pretty much a work-day. Hence this became very popular method of generating income in developing nations.

These type of people were called faucet abusers and action had to be taken.

So most casinos generally don't let you withdraw if you never made a deposit and all your winnings were from the faucet. Its varies site by site but the general idea is the same.

If you want someone to blame, then blame the Bitcoin Cash miners.

Basically due to their stupid Emergency Difficulty Adjustment, every few days or so they are 2x profitable to mine than BTC.

So instead of 6 blocks per hour, we were getting 3-4 blocks per hour. And it basically exponentially increased mining fees for everybody.

Luckily on Nov 13th they are hard-forking to get rid of that stupid EDA and hopefully this won't happen again.

I am pretty sure they will be a contest for the 25th billionth bet.

Its very difficult to get a timeline on these "billonth" rolls and such. The bitcoin ecosystem is exponetially increasing that the rolls/per/day is constantley changing.

Physical casinos might not realize this but they are starting to lose "ALOT" of profit probably due to online bitcoin gambling.

I don't know if we have anything similiar here either.

Most likely if you sell your info, you will not actually win any prices. Unless its something very small value.

Most likely all those lotteries are rigged, especially if they are free. Basically "friend of a friend" usually ends up winning the jackpots who is related to the lottery owner.

I know they do something similiar maybe in Mexico or other tourist destinations with time-shares. You go to a seminar, and they put you in some "magic lottery". You rarely win anything and the point was to get you to buy the timeshare.

In that case you are not forced to change your client seed, most likely in that scenario the server seed would change everytime.

Basically its how the site is coded, but it makes no difference whether a nonce is incremented or the server/client seed is changed.

Someone did an analysis of this and tried to find a pattern, and the results were all "almost" equallity likely.

Just make sure its PCIe 2.0 at least.

If its PCIe 1.0 then some GPUs might not work.

Sometimes you can't remotely restart a rig. Sometimes a GPU can crash and it can completely freeze up.

Only way is to cut the power and turn it on again.

Then sometimes when you restore power it might freeze on the BIOS boot due to improper shutdown, or Windows start-up repair can start ( you can disable this ), or HD can get corrupted due to improper shutdown and will need to be re-imaged.

Hence that's why Antminers are better for this purpose. Yes they might get obsolete but so will GPUs eventually. Every month there are like a million GPUs produced that are going into mining. And you can resell them to gamers but they are also overpriced at the moment, especially the Nvidia GPUs.

Another issue is you need to inspect your gear from time to time to make sure nothing started to melt. Especially the riser +12V wires. If you use modular PSUs you also need to periodically inspect the connection between the PSU and PCIe cables due to bad contacts. You also need to inspect the extention cables that are plugged into the wall, sometimes they might start to melt due to bad contact.

Another issue is with the heat. Depending where you live, since winter is coming the temp can vary during the night and day. At night you might need to close the windows almost fully so the house doesn't freeze, during the day you might have to open the window up so the room doesn't get too hot.

Regarding your "USED GPUs", keep in mind that we are in a mining boom. Most USED GPUs are overpriced and cost pretty much the exact same as retail. Only time when you can get a good deal on GPUs is at the end of the mining boom, but  then you don't need them.

Since the physical locations are all in different areas for you and you also work. You might as well get an Antminer or some other ASIC.
Those are generally "set it and forget it".

You can try and getting those "Wifi cold power cycle" switches but they don't always work. And GPUs they tend to crash from time to time sometimes freezing the entire system.

Trust me, I've tried something similiar in the past but the headache of the freezes and you having to drive over there wasn't worth it.

Just mine ETH with your Fury instead.

Anyone find the COMPUTE button in Windows 7? Can't find it anywhere

That actually would serve as a great purpose. Because we all would want some form of Primedice bank roll investment program. However I highly doubt they need our bankroll. They have been around for years and they earnt many BTC when bitcoin was around $200-$300.

There doesn't seem to be any reason why they would want to release an ICO.

You are saying that some sites don't have the nonce when calculating the provably fair outcome

[Server Seed Hash] + [Client Seed] + [Nonce]

However if its just the server seed hash and client seed, and if both of those are constant won't the roll be exactly the same everytime.

In this case I assume the server seed hash keeps changing, while client seed stays the same. In that case since the noonce always starts at 1, won't it be exactly the same situation.

Since the casino already knows what the nonce will be and they know their server seed. And they assume "client seed" won't get changed.

These days its actually pretty rare to find a Profit/Loss of over > 1 BTC.

Back in the day the high roller list was full of people betting > 5 BTC, sometimes even higher.

Its really crazy that all you need to do is bet only 0.02 BTC and you end up on the high roller list.

I remember you could of earned 0.02 BTC daily with a few Antminer S5's back in 2015.

I wasn't around at the time, but I remember that promo was listed about a year ago and then it was removed.

Any reason why it was removed?

Was there too many useless posts and spammers? If so wondering why they are re-introducing the pay per post.

This was discussed many many times in the past with various sites.

Basically its technically possible some gambling site can cheat you ONLY if you NEVER change your bet habit and NEVER change your client seed.

The site can have some pregenerated keys and if they detect you are someone who only martingales AND never changes the win direction, then they can give you some bad keys that will generate 10-20 losses in a row to clean you out.

However I am pretty sure Primedice never does this. And its also risky for the casino because what if you change from being a predictable gambler to a non-predictable gambler.

Someone can basically, martingale with 100 Sats bets for like 10000 Rolls, and then all of a sudden they can switch their bet habits and trick the site.

Are you guys planning on wearing these T-shirts of Primedice in public?

Generally I got some Bitcoin gear like posters and tshirts and such but I usually avoid wearing it in public to avoid being targetted and robbed.

Since Primedice ONLY accepts BTC, you might become a target who "Has loads of BTC".

I agree.

Compared to most of the other "Bitcoin Gambling Site List Directory". This one has at least taken the time to vouch for the sites.

Most of the other sites are just affiliates looking for profit coming from Google organic traffic. They usually don't vet the site at all. Just copy and paste some text from the site and say its "#1 gambling site - click here".

Keep up the good work OP

These days its totally unacceptable to hold anything near 1BTC on any bitcoin gambling related site.

Most sites don't pay interest on your deposits, so why leave it there in the first place.

Another reason is that most gambling sites also don't give you any bitcoin fork coins like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold.

Just send 0.10 BTC and when you lose that 0.10 BTC send some money later on. Fees are cheap with custom fees, most cost less than $0.50
