veleten,
Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the confusion on the withdrawal amount, did you see at the bottom of the withdrawal screen the message that says:
Based on your current balance, the maximum you can withdraw is XX.XXXXXXXX
(where XX.XXXXXXXX is your balance minus the 0.0002 withdrawal fee).
If you didn't notice that, maybe I should put it in different color to make it stand out more.

2legit2, That's true. You can use a VPN and keep yourself anonymous when you gamble online. The unique thing about PenguinDice is that it's one of the few gambling web sites that works in the tor browser with the security settings on High (since it doesn't use JavaScript, Flash, etc.). So it's useful for people who want to gamble while using tor. And yeah, a 1 cent bet only wins about 20 cents, but kick that 1 cent bet up to $1 and you'll win close to $20.  Not exactly enough to retire on, but maybe enough for a nice takeout dinner. -PenguinDice |

veleten,
Thanks for those good suggestions!
Yes, I think that announcing / advertising on darkweb sites would be a good idea. PenguinDice would probably appeal more to people who already use tor and might want to try gambling on tor, rather than to people who are already gambling on clearnet sites.
I was actually almost in an agreement with the owner of Sigaint (a darknet e-mail site) to advertise there. But then about 10 days ago the service shut down with no warning or explanation.

Betwrong, Thanks for that feedback. I'm glad you liked playing on the site. Chat is something I could add in the future. Right now the site is pretty new, and usually there are only 1 or 2 people playing at a given time. So you'd be chatting mostly with yourself. -PenguinDice |

adaseb,
Yes, JavaScript vulnerabilities have been used in the past to deanonymize tor users, by sending the user's real IP address back to the attacker. Anytime you enable JavaScript, Flash, or anything like that in your tor browser you make yourself much more susceptible to attacks. My idea with PenguinDice was to build something people could use with tor set to maximum security. Of course that does come with the disadvantage that the site will not be as interactive or visually appealing as the other dice sites.

I did check out pocket dice and a few other sites like prime dice.
I've noticed that none of them work on the tor browser with the security slider set to "high". They need JavaScript, Flash, or other types of add-ons.
So whatever graphics improvements I make to my site I want to be sure they still work on the tor browser with maximum security settings on.

Catmony,
Right now the site is bitcoin only. But expanding to allow altcoins is a great idea for the future!
Thanks,

hinterlog,
The server uses the bitcoin core software to process bitcoin transactions. You can look in the source code to see how this works. A few examples:
// Create deposit address
$deposit_address = $bitcoin_rpc->getnewaddress();
// Send withdrawal transaction
$txid = $bitcoin_rpc->sendtoaddress($withdrawal_address,$withdrawal_amount);

I have added a button to Set all Bets to 0 next to the Roll button, per veleten's suggestion.
I've also increased the maximum bets.
Old maximums:
0.0002 to 0.001
New maximums:
0.0005 to 0.003
The minimum bet remains 0.00001.
The maximum bet is different for each number. You can bet the most on 7 and the least on 2 and 12.

just_Alice,
Ok, that makes sense as to why you got that "not logged in" error if you were trying to use 2 browsers on the site at the same time. I guess you were logged in using one browser, but not the other.
Glad to hear you are a little ahead and that you're enjoying using the site!

Catmony,
Thanks for looking at the source code and for making your comments. My responses:
"After you logged into site, if you put subdomain in front of site address it will show homepage in guest mode."
I don't understand what you mean by this. What URL are you putting in exactly to see the homepage in guest mode?
"Also owner don't you think saving random string data in database will be vulnerable? I have gone though source code and found that you are actually saving next random string (unhashed) in database users table."
That is true. The database needs to store the next random roll string for each user, so it knows what roll the user will get next time. The web site presents the hash of this string to the user before he/she rolls, so that after the roll the user can verify the roll was determined in advance before the user decided what to bet on. What do you see as the problem of storing this in the database? The user has no way to see what random roll string is stored in the database for his/her next roll, so he/she doesn't know what will be rolled next. What kind of vulnerability were you thinking about with this way of doing things?

just_Alice,
Thanks for providing your feedback on the site!
That's strange that you got an error that you weren't logged in. But it's good that logging out and back in fixed the issue.
Is it possible that you logged in with your normal browser (using onion.to), and then tried to play with your tor browser? Or that you had two browser windows open on the site, and logged out using one window, but then tried to play using the second window?
I haven't heard anyone else report the "not logged in" error, so hopefully we can figure out why that happened.
If anyone else gets that error, please let me know.

Patatas, If you want to see the source code, just download it from the site: http://penguinsyuo2gtvz.onion/source.phpI don't have it in any kind of interactive source code management system like GitHub. -PenguinDice |

amacar2,
You need to create your account, and then either post your username in this thread, or send me a message on bitcointalk. Then I'll add the 0.0005 btc credit to your account.
