(off-topic) I received a phishing PM from satmas too.
Reported to the administrators.

Site back online and working.

The database server seems to be down.
I can understand technical problems, in times when even large enterprises with far greater resources than SD are struggling with DDoS attacks and the like.
But your communication definitely needs to improve to maintain trust.
Just a few words would be enough to calm some nerves.

The API is still fully functional. It seems only the front-end server is down.
SatoshiDice, any comments? ETA?

It's confirmed now  |

SatoshiDice should consider increasing their fee. 0.0001 can be quite low. They should consider dynamic fees or a fixed fee of 0.0002.
Yeah Bitcoin is under an epidemic right now with the amount of record UNCONFIRMED transactions, yesterday I think there was 50,000 unconfirmed transaction. Right now you need to pay at least 100 Sats per bytes, which can get very expensive. Assuming SatoshiDice uses the core Bitcoin client, they can enable "floating fees". https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees#SendingUsers can decide to pay a predefined fee rate by setting `-paytxfee=<n>` (or `settxfee <n>` rpc during runtime). A value of `n=0` signals Bitcoin Core to use floating fees. By default, Bitcoin Core will use floating fees.
Based on past transaction data, floating fees approximate the fees required to get into the `m`th block from now. This is configurable with `-txconfirmtarget=<m>` (default: `2`).
-txconfirmtarget=3 would be enough in my opinion. Keeps the fee low and it arrives in under an hour. @SD please consider ^ |

It looks like only the static part of the website is unreachable, not the dynamic API.
Have you considered using an OVH server as a reverse proxy?
OVH recently warded of a huge DDoS attack.
It can't hurt to try IMHO.
Let your current ISP give you a new IP address, keep it secret,
get an OVH server, reverse proxy traffic.

A lot of gambling are getting ddosed lately, did you receive any ransom email from the attackers?
DDoS in general will become much cheaper now that the "Internet of Things" rears its ugly head. Billions of crappy insecure devices are on the Internet because everyone needs their fridge and microwave oven to be online. Vendors don't care after the device is sold. My bet in this case is either a) competition, who failed to compete with fair methods, or b) blackmailers. Both are pathetic. I for one have placed many thousands of bets with SatoshiDice in the past, and will continue to play here. |

We're currently under DDoS attack. No bitcoins are at risk.
Thank you for the clarification. I'm sure everything will be fine. |

I love satoshi dice. And recently I discovered a player with more than 2k btc profit. I just want to know that is he legit?
Where did u discover this? Could u please point out to the exact link? I am pretty sure he is referring to an old article or screenshot or something. Back when BTC was like $100-200 or so. How about this user https://www.satoshidice.com/user/9d886d9ca94946aba6a03bcc1537ef0bThis user has total gross won of more than 2700 BTC. The question is, is total gross profit = total profit? And this user is created this year, so the price of btc is still considered high. Total won != Total profit If you bet 1 BTC at 50% chance, win 1x, and lose 1x, then your "total won" is 1 BTC but your profit is 0 BTC. (Simplified, not taking house edge into account) |

Is it really the registrars that are getting DDOS? Why would anyone want to go after a registrar, what benefit could they gain from shutting down so many small websites for businesses/etc?
Competing registrars. or it could be DNS amplification attacks, where the attacker abuses the DNS system to direct traffic at the victim: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_Amplification_Attack |

Hi,
Is there a bot for this Site which can roll the dice very fast?
Someone tried to sell a bot earlier in this thread. Look back a few pages. |
|
|
|
I think its your CPU that causes that. Or some program loading in the meantime.
It might be. Anyway betting is fast 99% of the time. |
|
|
|
it is noticeably !!!
Bets are very fast for me. Far under 1 second. Sometime betting pauses for a moment when someone withdraws. I assume SatoshiDice locks the database for writing during communication with the Bitcoin daemon to avoid race conditions. Better safe than sorry. |
