Awesome, thanks for following! Also thanks for your super helpful remarks on the payment system a while back. They have had a big influence on the new system that we will launch soon.

Hurray, I just got my 100th follower on Twitter.

Would love to engage with more Bitcointalkers on twitter. You can find the official FastSlots Twitter here: @fastslots

Sounds awesome. Good luck with your ventures! By the way, if you ever have something that you'd like to feature here in the thread, please feel free to do so.

If you don't mind sharing, what are you using chain.com for?

I think I will do exactly that :-)

Great suggestion. We are actually doing just that: You can play as soon as you deposit, but to withdraw, your deposits have to have at least one confirmation. Still, in the new system we will wait for 1 confirmations for deposits over a certain size.

I had played around with the blockchain.info api before deciding to use chain. The difference in customer service between the two companies is mind boggling  ;-)

We are currently using the helloblock api, but we are switching to chain.com now. I'm really very happy with chain.com, I think its the best blockchain api out there.

I'm aware of the double spending issue. We are monitoring to wallet closely and will react when someone does what you describe. Probably we'll require 1 confirmation on deposits in the future.

Hi Maxwei,

Really sorry about that. I just credited the funds to your account, plus I added little bonus as a compensation. Have just emailed you about that.

This happend due to an issue with a third party api that we are using. We are currently switching to another api, so these kinds of problems will go away as soon as we launch the new payment system next week.

If anybody has any kind of problem on FastSlots, just let me know and I'll try to fix it asap.

Thanks for clearing that up @madness.

Actually I find the site super interesting, and to be honest I had planned to do something similar at some point. The reason I did not is exactly because of the problem with bots. If you want to offer a game with a strong skill component (like 2048) for money, then the payout scheme has to be done in such a way that even the bots don't win on average. But if bots are better than humans at a game, it becomes completely unattractive to humans, which is a bit lame too :-)

Basically, I think it would be rad to use this concept with a game where humans are better than bots. Can't think of such a game atm though.

Hey funtotry, that's awesome. Hope you like the other games as well. If you have any wishes for improvements, just let me know... :-)

Thanks so much guys!

I consider myself super lucky for having friendly, helpful, and generally awesome customers like you :-)

Would not recommend to play there:

Awesome, congrats on your win! :-)

Sorry that you have to create a new account each time. I'll sort that out manually and be in touch by pm.

We have a better user management on our roadmap, but before we do that we want to finish up the payment stuff and launch a new game. Until then I'll just be sorting out people manually. Please let me know whenever you have a problem.

Awesome, ndhc, you'll be able to do exactly that :-)

Other than that the deposit flow will be much more stable and we'll finally have a faucet.

Hey guys.

Just wanted to give a quick update as to what we have been up to at FastSlots. We are still working on the new payment system. It is taking longer than expected, mostly because we have to change some security sensitive parts of our code. We want to take the time to make sure we do not mess it up :-). I think the new system will be worth the wait.

I have also taken the feedback of many of you to heart that we have to start to get out there more. I am now quite active on Twitter where I am not only posting about product updates but also about what I think are interesting developments in the bitcoin space. Follow me at @fastslots.

We will also be launching a signature campaign and a Facebook page pretty soon. Will let you know...

Well, the house edge on bonus dice is 1.2-2%. It's not quite the highest house edge ever (for example roulette is 2.5-5%, slot machines are often up to 10%). But to be fair, bonus-dice has the highest house edge of all of our games. For example, our other dice game slide dice has an house edge of 1%, and the house edge of chart bet is only 0.2%!

Unfortunately we are not yet in a position to offer a much lower edge. Until we get there I think it's important that we are really upfront with the house edge of our games: We state the house edge of each game on the homepage and at the bottom of the page of each game.

Hey guys! Thanks a lot for your comments.

I absolutely agree with Jaaawsh that more people should try out FastSlots :-). I think we are bringing something new to the gambling world. I also think that there are too many copycats in the gambling industry and too few operators that are taking risks (which is ironic given that they expect their customers to take risks all the time).

That being said, we are actually growing quite quickly. New users are signing up every day and revenue is up and to the right. This is despite the fact that we are probably the only casino in the world that has spent 0 satoshis on marketing so far.

The reason we have not done advertising so far is that we'd rather have our players win money than spend it on advertising. Our dream is to get FastSlots to a level of where it starts to grows organically. If we get there we could offer a lower house edge than any other casino because we do not have to pay for advertising. A low hose edge is really super important because players have a much more fair chance at winning.

(However, theory aside, we will start a signature campaign quite soon as we cannot change realities - yet).

To get to organic growth we need your help. Let us know what you don't like on FastSlots. Tell us what we would have to change so that you'd be happy to recommend FastSlots to a friend. Which features do we need to add and what do we need to remove? We will listen very carefully, and do our best to build a casino where you like to play. And, we'll continue to give out bonuses for feedback :-)

It's really a great point you brought up. As far as I can see most other casinos allow users to specify a receive address, even without retyping their password or something. I think I will follow your advice and allow users to withdraw to an address of their choosing. Will have to make up my mind about the details...

Please let me know if something else you would like to change with our payment system, or with FastSlots in general. I'll try to make it happen :-)

That sounds like a good idea, thanks. I will definitely do that if I decide to allow a user to specify an withdraw address. However, I am still worried that an attacker might be able to obtain the phrase and be able to steal a users money.

I will now do a quick survey and see how other casinos handle this issue. Will report back. I you computerman123 or someone else can recommend a casino with a good payment mechanism, please let me know.

Hi guys,

It's great that you are bringing up these points right now. We are currently in the process of rewriting the authentication and deposit system. Thus any feedback you will give us now can be incorporated over the coming days.

Here are the main changes that we want to implement:

1) It will be possible to deposit if the balance is bigger than zero (not possible atm)
2) It will be possible to withdraw only a part of the balance (not possible atm)
3) There will be no more free credits. Instead there will be a faucet where a user gets ca 500 satoshi whenever the balance is close to zero.

The reason we are always paying withdraws to the address the user deposited from is for security reasons. Consider the case where the attacker somehow gets access to your account (for example by looking over your sholder, getting access to a pwd manager you might use). If the user cannot specify an address for the withdraw, the attacker can basically only withdraw back to the legitimate user.

I will think about weakening this restriction though if that is important to users. Would be rad if people could weigh in here. Would also be awesome if you could let me know which sites have the best payment mechanisms in your opinion so I could go there for inspiration.

Thanks for your feedback anyways :-)
