When you have bitcoin on a computer, phone, website, exchange or whatever.. you have the risk of being hacked or getting a virus that steals your bitcoin and/or private keys. A secure solution is having a "cold wallet", so a device that doesn't touch the internet or a paper wallet. But obviously it is more difficult to send that money again. The more ideal solution is a hardware wallet. The private keys are on the device and the transactions are signed on there. But sending money is possible from a web/PC/phone wallet, you just need to "confirm" (basically "sign") the transaction on the hardware wallet. This way you can only send the correct and real transactions. ^ My basic view on it  Not sure if 100% correct but I hope you get the idea. I do really think hardware wallets are the future. I am sure there will be a lot of competition and the hardware wallets will get cheaper. The Trezor is AFAIK the first (popular) hardware wallet  BTW 99bitcoins was doing a giveaway for 1 Trezor these coming days, you can join here: http://99bitcoins.com/giveaways/novembers-trezor-giveaway/?lucky=1763 Yes, this is a referral link  Normally I hate referral links, but it seems relevant enough. |

I am a bit worried about customs costs (the only person I saw that bought one in PH paid like 2K PHP for customs extra.) And I might be able to buy it cheaper through NL with some family etc. But in the end, for the right price, I am definitely interested in a Trezor.

The password field on the login form has a max length of 15 characters. I assume this is a mistake and means that people with a longer password cannot login atm.

With these spreads you should specify which exchange / price you will use and till what time people can send the predictions in But free promos always nice |

So we shouldn't actually believe the the unbelievable 10 BTC prize, what a shocker.

Well since Dooglus gave DB a positive "A++" trust rating and endorsed both DB and DN with his signature, I guess " this is actually good news". Seriously though, it seems to me Dooglus should actually get a bounty. I was not online that night so I am not sure of the timeline, but if he only publicly disclosed the exploit after the fix I think it should be ok, even if he had some negative comments about it. In theory one doesn't have to give a bounty at all btw. Most non-bitcoin sites would either ignore you or say they will go to the police if you hack them again (I had that latter once  .) Luckily we at least don't have that with most bitcoin sites. Many bitcoin sites have a clear bug bounty program (just 1 information page) that would help in this case. Basically most specify: if public disclosure is allowed after the fix or not. Some sites do not allow public disclosure of the bugs ever. I am not sure what the "default" will be of that, although I personally feel like it's ok after fixing. In the end the negative trust seems wrong though. Endorsing DB so much because the site worked ok for you and putting a negative trust, with an amount (68 btc) you actually got paid out, because he didn't gave an (in theory optional) bug bounty - seems wrong to me. I understand you can all "rationally" explain these positive and negative trusts on these sites. But in the end I think you would agree that your judgement of the new DB and DN were not correct. And in the end I assume that you do not think that Dean will run with the bankroll. So yeh, as much as I respect your trust and technical knowledge, I think your judgement is not always as good. I think at least a "neutral" comment with an amount of 0 would be more fair, since it's more like a comment on PRC than an actually scam accusation. |

03:10: wtfwtfwtf2 @Dean getting done with satoshidice now, PRC is next 03:10: Dean Nolan how about you go fuck yourself? what is this about? "wtfwtfwtf2" is the guy DDoS-ing sites and e-mailing them to pay money. Extortion, one can call it. If you go to https://www.satoshidice.com right now, you will see that the site is down. (edit: back up) Dean doesn't pay people who are threatening and attacking him, so that is what it is about |

Guys make sure you check your bets, I found a flaw in the seed. I kept seed numbers and results, if anyone wants to help confirm this on PM.
I do agree with your first part actually " make sure you check your bets", people should definitely do that. That is the whole point of having a provably fair system One can get the server seed at "Provably fair" tab and click on "Generate new seed". You can then calculate your bets with a verifier, for example the one I made at: http://dicesites.com/prcdice/verifierI however highly doubt the second part " I found a flaw in the seed". I don't see how the seed can have a flaw. The seed randomness generation could have a flaw. The provably fair algorithm could have a flaw. The seed and hash could not match. But I don't think the seed can have a flaw. Anyway, you could definitely PM me and I will look over it. Although e-mailing PRC/Dean should clear any question too. |

It's weekly. I believe every Sunday night (or Monday early morning.) Any 6+ table w/ 2-3 is correct.

"This account was deleted and is no longer recoverable."
Basic searches don't bring up anything.
If that was actually his e-mail I am afraid it was just a pretty much fake e-mail not connected to anything else. Thanks for sharing though.

The devs are clueless, and Stunna apparently won't pay for CloudFlare premium even though it's $20 a month for pro, which has way better DDoS mitigation and speed compared to the free nodes. Meanwhile, the webserver IP can be directly accessed and the staff is nowhere to be found like usual.
This is false. All interactivity with the PD site goes through websockets. Only Enterprise customers from Cloudflare have websocket support. Enterprise is around $5,000 per month and obviously not worth it. |

You can see statistics of some (off-chain) dice sites on http://dicesites.com - will soon provide daily/weekly/etc stats too to see the active sites and other features. Basically I would not recommend any new and/or "dead" sites. |

So you (might) have an email address of a guy that scammed ~2,000 bitcoins and you are asking his innocent victims to pay 0.1 BTC for it? How about just sharing it and proof why it's from him? If you are the reason of why people will get their money back I am sure they will reward you.

Poker, because it's EV+ (for me) I would personally not even call it gambling tbh. Even an EV+ game is still gambling with luck. What if you got the next 10,000 hands being 27 unpaired ? It would be gambling, because despite skill affecting it, there is a chance that randomness will screw you over. That is called variance. A good poker player will have very good bankroll management so they can handle the bad cards and bad beats. The idea is that if you put enough volume in and play millions of hands instead of 10,000 hands, your skill edge will be better than others and therefor your overall outcome is expecting to be winning aka not gambling. Again, this is only possible with good bankroll management otherwise you will go broke because of variance ("randomness") indeed. I could agree that for most poker players it's gambling though and might even have better odds at dice. |

TBH I really wanted to use them but competition mostly gave me better prices so I would end up using them.
