the issue with satoshi dice is it is often down. in fact, it appears to be down right now. i can only imagine how frustrating it must be if it goes down in the middle of a series of bets. the users don't know whether they will ever see their money again. is there any interest in the community to build a similar service with better uptime?
no need to reinvent the wheel however the competition seems to always be a good thing
. Lets just keep pushing for ugrading the servers.
