Do not deposit here, until they fix their cashing put issues.  I've been waiting almost 8 hours, for a withdraw. They have offered zero assistance, have not contacted their cashout provider coinbbase, nothing.

We have a ticket open with Coinbase, there are multiple transactions held up with them right now.  We cannot cancel the transaction at this point because it's already been accepted, We can process any future cashouts manually until Coinbase gets back in sync with the rest of the blockchain.

I withdrew .7+ thisorning, never got it...1DoNkCTUZKN9cmBf36uScwEEs74Zfev4ue is the address I withdrew to....



It looks like your transaction is still queued with Coinbase:

They seem to be taking awhile this morning.  We're thinking of putting a transaction history page on the site so you can track the txn's in and out.  I agree, it's never fun to wonder if your transaction disappeared.

I'm really concerned that you keep having these issues.  I've investigated the transaction and it doesn't look like it's been picked up by Coinbase yet.  The transaction you referenced is in block 260089, but coinbase, who we have been using as a temporary deposit processor since last weekend, is only reporting up to block 260029.  There seems to be a serious lag right now.

We moved to coinbase temporarily as a way to expedite deposits and confirmation verifications, this seems to be causing different issues.

Our developer is investigating an option to use our previous bitcoind solution. It doesn't look like there is a reliable thirdparty processor yet unfortunately.

Can you please demonstrate how you were able to generate that deck of cards given that game seed?

The client-side Javascript function that verifies the deck shuffle has been purposely disabled. The function is called check_game(), and it is supposed to check that the deck that was actually played is the same as what the server committed to when it initially sent the server seed. However, after this function shuffles the deck, it then just cheats and manually sets the generated deck of cards to what the server dealt:




Excellent catch.  Thanks for reporting that.  You are correct, the check logic in the JS is disabled, this seems to be a missed relic from testing.  The code is being corrected today. 

As for how we calculate the deck from the game seed:
It's pretty straight forward
We take the final game seed + the game seed hash, convert this to a string (which is a byte stream in PHP) and use it as the seed for the mt_srand function in PHP. This will seed the Mersenne Twister algorithm. We then perform a Fisher Yates shuffle on the shuffled deck, using the mt_rand function as the RNG. This adds two levels of randomness to the shuffle and provides a reproducible result after the fact.

In the essence of transparency we've decided to add a feature to the site which will allow anyone to download a public game history file each day which will show all games played, the server, client and game seed as well as the complete shuffled deck. This can be used to perform analysis on the dataset, or simply to verify a particular game again after the fact.

We are also in the processes of having our game engine externally audited which will add a further level of trust to our engine.

While I am happy that a developer let this test get into production, I can assure you that the games are random. Anyone that has a particular concern about the outcome of a game or the randomness of a shuffle, please contact any of us directly and we will provide the complete audit history of any game.

Thanks again for the great bug catch.

Refunded. 

We just stopped using the blockchain.info API to confirm transactions until whatever is wrong with their system is fixed.  If anyone else feels that a deposit hasn't credited, please drop me a note and I'll get it resolved.

Thanks!

We're flattered that you thought our casino was great enough to copy.

That being said, we always recommend that the community be diligent about the casinos they play on. We found that your stated return to player is 99.6%, but with the BJ rules we used (which you didn't change) the return to player is 99.5%. Our 99.6% comes from a .1% contribution to the progressive jackpot. You have no progressive jackpot, so where is that extra .1% going?

We also tried playing on your site but the deposit was never credited.







Thanks, our payout percentage was calculated using the wizard of odds calculator which gives us a house edge of 0.42945% which is technically 99.57055%  We rounded to 99.6, but it's a good point. The site has already been updated to be more accurate.

As for the deposit, let me know the BTC address and I'll investigate.  We use the blockchain.info API to verify confirmations.  There's been some weird problems with their service over the last 24 hours and we've seen a few transactions that aren't showing as confirmed even though they are.  We're going to be manually watching the queue until blockchain.info gets sorted out.

It looks like our deposit queue got a little backed up (a good problem to have I guess), the transaction finally processed and there was nothing wrong with your account so you can keep using the same one. We've added another worker to our deposit process and the queue is back down to zero. Transactions should be posting instantly again. Sorry for the hassle with the long deposit delays!

Had my first real issue with this site, otherwise it has worked well and I enjoy it.
I transferred coins and usually there somewhat instantly, this time it was not.

Please return the 0.05 I sent you to this address

I'm sorry about that, I'm looking into why that transaction didn't post.  I see the transaction though.  I've refunded the deposit to your address above, I would recommend trying a new account just to be safe.
10  Economy / Gambling / Re: [DoubleDownBTC.com] New Blackjack Game *20% BONUS ON BTC DEPOSITS* on: September 16, 2013, 11:49:11 AM
and what is PROVABLY FAIR?

your site type:

Game Seed == Server Seed + Client Seed:
19508405357028949

SHA-512(Game Seed) == Sent to client for verification:
8d3c98c78789d564c6f185b4bf0d939e11b74c78d2ea7455e8852bb21b18d7ff

but real SHA-512(19508405357028949) == "8f4a90956ee62a2a28bbaf1e49950867f13aa16ee03cade1b66f40099f35f3dc6b27c59afa4c9ff 0beaefd067d4125a7de10db4478450e98710d0c385cd59938"
and SHA-256(19508405357028949) == "9a9c23521ed79688918363f9e60ac5ad2365ec21cf4a71807d7ba84ffb3bd397"

 Roll Eyes

That's really strange. If you look at the JavaScript you'll see that your browser hashes the raw server seed we send at the end of the game and compares it to the hash of the server seed we sent before the game. If the two don't match an error is thrown.

Can you send me the gameid of a game where you don't think the hash matches? I'd like to investigate.

DoubleDownBTC would love to be listed. Provably fair Blackjack and adding 3 new games (Let It Ride, Jacks Or Better video poker, and 3 card poker) on the way soon!

Critical bug found, sites bankroll at risk ( not player bankrolls). Advised owners to callme so I can describe. I'd hope they will offer a bounty also.  I literally could have taken whole site backroll. Please call or message asap.

Great catch. Appreciate that you reported this ethically. We confirmed that there was a bug that could in some cases cause a deposit to be credited more than once to an account. We have patched it and can verify that player funds were at no time at risk.

Your bounty will be on its way!

Thanks for everyone that helped with the bug catching.  We've published the updated version of our backend and are nearing the volume of play required to have our gaming engine externally certified.

As a thank you to the bitcointalk community, we're offering a 20% deposit bonus on all first time deposits.  Just PM me your account once you make your first deposit and I'll apply the bonus!

20% on any and all first deposit ? Instant withdraw or some certain amount of games played is required ? Take care there.

Good question:
The promotion is currently listed as 20% on initial deposits. Initial deposit can be withdrawn instantly, the bonus 20% can be withdrawn after 20x play. Thanks for asking, I realized that wasn't listed on the original post.

DoubledownBTC... Look here

http://imgur.com/YU4LMHj
http://imgur.com/94BGRtN

In this game i picked up two aces and i decided to split.

In each game i made 21.

So, the winning correct is: 1 BET * 2 * 2 = 4 BET

In this case i won 4.5 BET

And appears this window ERROR... and the winning didn't accreditated


Thanks for reporting this. Looks like the ace-10 got scored as a blackjack. We'll clear they issue ASAP.
16  Economy / Gambling / Re: [doubledownbtc.com] New Blackjack Game *PM FOR BONUS BTC* on: September 14, 2013, 10:04:05 PM
So I played this morning. Only error I got was when taking insurance and dealer had bj. Other that that no errors.

I did run the 50 credits to 700+. Cashed out at about 650 (.65btc.)

Instant cashout, and looks just like the video bj at the bar of casinos I've been in. I like it!

Ill be playing more later.

Great run!  Glad to hear!!

hmmm, I will pass, generally I don't play at sites that are completely ripoff of others. it's kinda shady.

https://bitcoinvideocasino.com/blackjack

Not trying to rip anyone off.  We coded this site up while BVC was down hard last week.  We honestly weren't sure if they were coming back and aimed to fill the void.  I think there's a shortage of good low house edge BTC games out there and I think that's a shame.

This is the version 0.1 interface and the frontend was arguably slapped together.  We're validating our backend infrastructure right now and trying to push as many games through the system as possible. Our auditor requires 100k unique game histories to certify our system. 

Don't worry, we're working on quite a few graphical improvements as we speak. But thanks for the good feedback.
