Back on now

Not necessarily. If the error leads to a seed being leaked the attacker could end up "winning" the coins slowly over time.

I agree, the issue here is that bitcoin software guys think they are smarter than everyone else. Regardless if they are or not. They have poor EQ and slightly higher IQ. This is why most engineers stay as engineers. Steve Jobs wasn't particularly smart in an IT sense, but he was smart and had this same attitude which made him hard to deal with.

It seems we have a bunch of the same personality in one show and they are conflicting due to the need to make themselves look smarter than the rest (a penis joust as klye would put it). What they end up doing is looking like a bunch of 5 year old kids fighting over who's fault it was that the argument started. Unable to let things go is the trait of high IQ and low EQ.

Maybe you lot need to grow up a bit, because really, if you don't like it, just leave it alone and do your own thing. Dean is certainly no malicious, but lacks PR skills. True con men have PR skills and play you like a Puppet. Manl was like that, able to gain trust by association which is the first thing every con man does, while staying anonymous the whole time. I have not seen dean exhibit these traits. so we should be happy he is who he is. He doesn't change personalities or try to woo the guy with the most bitcoin in order to gain trust in the community. That is exactly what Manl did! Doog has good cred in dice world, after all he ran an operation everyone seemed to enjoy and trust. But that doesn't make him an expert on who you should trust. Just because doog thows money at something doesn't make it right. I think I coined the term "Doog queen of Dice" or something along those lines. It comes from an observation that doog is indeed king of bitcoin and dice in these forums, but he quite frequently drops his lipstick and gets in a hissy fit over the smallest things. So i had to turn king to queen. It is most appropriate for what has been seen on these forums since the closure of Just-dice.

As for Finnile, he found something, but quickly tried to profit from it. Had he not gone crazy on the forums, and waited for the full solution, he would have been paid. But he caused bad press for something that wasn't that bad. Then expects to get a benefit from it. I don't think he deserves that payment unless the payment came from someone who wanted to destroy PRC. I can guarentee Fin saw the bet made and then noticed the bet wasn't displayed. My bot looks at 1. the change in balance is correct, 2. the last bet is correct to change in balance, 3. verifies all bets after a determined amount. after 600,000 bets, I have not been alerted from my bot that something has been incorrect.

I did pay Finnile 0.5Btc and he can keep it. I paid it because I felt bad for his loss on dicebitcoin - even after he trolled me bad in PRC chat (but UV knows I love a good troll). Manl refunded him, so I would have thought he would return it. I shouldn't expect the charity back because it was Given to him. However, maybe he should consider that payment for finding the display at PRC.

Also note I do not invest a lot in PRC, I do have 1 to 2 btc in there some days. But I use Bitcoin for currency purposes so i pull it out all the time. Yes I use it to buy stuff, pay people and gamble. So I do not feel the need to protect dean, but I can assure you, he is a genuine guy with visions of making a decent casino and eventually become a legal one that is regulated. That is different to any other casino I have seen in bitcoin world.

Peace out folks and have a beer to calm down. Its not the end of the world if dean makes a GUI error. It is if he makes a DB error but that wont happen because that code is very simple and easily checked!
