I wonder how accurate it is. I put one of the addresses of my wallets in and it seems to have linked it with MtGox and 40k BTC (?!) when in reality the wallet (only) has 28.09 BTC.

That's would mean: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/2b5c07d866e7219684646ea617853dbac4b67571bd670526af9493d6a89a2c5f?txoutIdx=0  is the winner for draw #9. Just verifying that right stretched hash right now =)

Running draw #9 now, lets see who won!


As for the site, the whole point of it for me was that it's a low-maintenance site. Just once a week I pay out the winner. I'm probably never going have the energy to actively market or advertise it. I really just built the site for the fun of building it, as I thought it  a neat idea, so I built it. If it spreads virally, then that's awesome. If it doesn't, oh well. But my main project is bustabit  (and with about ~150 people online right now, and ~700 BTC/wager a day, it keeps me pretty busy )

But it seems like a pretty awesome place to advertise, here's our traffic stats from google analytics:



not bad when you can get a listing on the homepage for like 0.001 BTC

I think a few weeks is a bit unreasonable, unless there's something in particular they're doing that would actually require that amount of time?

Is the amount of money in your account to gamble, or is it locked in a "pending state"? If it's free to gamble, I'd start to question if it's just a cheap tactic to get you to keep turning over the money. If you're in this position, just hold on tight. Don't gamble at all.

Personally, I had a whale on bustabit that won >100 BTC net profit in a session, and made sure the hot wallet was always full enough so that he could withdraw instantly, but in that particular case I wasn't suspicious in the least (just a lucky whale) and it was my goal to give him the smoothest experience so he'd return. However, if I was suspicious about the winnings, I probably would hold the withdrawal as long as it takes me to do some investigation (but I'd make it my first priority)

Yeah, he's doing rather well. He logs in once or twice a day for a little-hit-and-run action. He's had a few near disasters, but so far managed to just keep winning   He's indicated his goal is to get to 100 BTC, so I guess at the current rate it'll take another ~2 weeks if there's no hiccups.

Whole bunch of performance improvements have landed, which helps bustabit deal with the increased amount of player activity. If you were having issues beore, give the new client a try =)

FWIW I saw something like this happen to user on bustabit.com once. After a lot of debugging it turned out he had some malware  (iirc it was actually a chrome plugin) that replaced the bitcoin address with the bitcoin address of the hacker. So the money was sent to the place the website saw it, but not where it was wanted

Just to be clear, MoneyPot (or rather I) has never scammed anyone, nor have I heard anyone complaining. Since selling it, I've returned like 500+ BTC worth of peoples money (and still a ~50+) to go (claim on mp.bustabit.com) and investors made (and withdrawn) >200 BTC in profit when it was under my control.

Had I intended on scamming anyone, I would've turned it into a giant ponzi rather than selling it cheap and returning everyones money

Looks like cowbay won again

kapi18wro's aggressive loss chasing still seems to be working!



Pretty impressive, almost 64 BTC in profit! 

The draw has been made: https://www.pevpot.com/draws/7

Merry Christmas everyone =)

Taking a look, he sped up the rolls by multiplexing the bets on multiple provably fair chains. (Something that if I was still running MP, I'd contact him about to remove, as it makes provably fair verification harder and subverts the internal throttling, but that's now not my problem anymore)

May I ask what the "blatant lie" is? I read through his posts and wasn't able to find anything misleading nor unfactual.

It's not clear if you believe that the rolls don't count as being fast, because he uses a 3rd party? Or if you don't believe he optimized his code to bet faster?

Hey everyone. MoneyPot.com is now under new ownership ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1274857.0 ), and I will no longer be involved with it, so going forward if you continue to use moneypot, it will be under the new owners control, not mine.


If you had an account on moneypot.com, the account has been carried across to the new owners. However, any sensitive information (balances, auths, deposits, withdrawals, ips, etc) has not. If you had funds when it was under my control, I've made them available here mp.bustabit.com. If you deposit to an old-address, it will appear there. Please withdraw your money from mp.bustabit.com

Thanks!

Just 3 blocks to go (~30 minutes!). I'll make sure the winner gets it in time for xmas!

Good luck to all!

Actually, it's quite possible. Check: https://www.pevpot.com/provably-fair  for a concrete example  


(PevPot never knows how many tickets will be sold, but has no problems being provably fair. There's a few different ways to do this too, I believe)

For all intents and purpose, all sports gambling is already provably fair.

Provably fair doesn't mean you can't get cheated, it just means that if you get cheated you can tell. Obviously you can't tell if a sports match was fixed or not, but you can easily tell if the casino paid you what they should've.

betking.io is probably your best bet.  I believe the roulette there is backed by the investors, so it can support rather insane limits. There's also some moneypot backed roulette sites like http://sat.oshi.xyz/ which are pretty well done too, but in terms of limits they're going to be much smaller

So far everyone who's account was accessed, has used the same details at cloudbet. I have no idea if this is a coincidence (after all cloudbet is very popular), or cloudbet's db has been leaked (or vulnerable to brute-forcing). As a precaution please make sure you're not reusing a password (especially from here). If you are, change all other accounts passwords immediately =)

It's not going to be a problem at all. Maybe some upmarket casinos might not allow you to, as it'll look too cheap. You could also pretty easily record them on your phone too, for all anyone cares.

Funnily enough, I've actually been in casinos that actually give you paper and pencils to keep track of games, specifically so you can develop your own superstitions. A lot of the older crowd was keeping track of reds vs. blacks, to figure out which is "due" to come. It's great for the casino
