Comeon... i invested a week ago


Nice. Consider yourself lucky.

and since then i only saw my investment crawling below my invested amount. Now i saw the chart and it looks like the advantage is there seeing the actual investment. I doubted that before for obvious reasons.

just-dice returns are bursty. They are small and quiet for long stretches then have wild swings when whales show up.

Quote
It was hard to imagine that all the games happening in the last week didnt show the house advantage. But it was that way.

It seems you are looking for some sort of pattern in the returns that reflects what you think it should look like based on the house edge. The issue is, with such a low house edge, you really can't count on being able to "see" the house advantage. Furthermore, when a whale shows up, you can't even begin to see the house edge because it's negligible compared to the vol.

I realize I am being somewhat discouraging, but that's because you seem to have unrealistic expectations from just-dice. The returns from the last 24 hours will not keep up. Returns will often look negative and for long stretches. Some of the big investors were negative for *months*. That doesn't mean the math is wrong, it just means your expectations are wrong if you think this should not be possible.

Quote
And i found a debate about allowing investors to chose the risk of 1% to be changed. This settings wasnt implemented at the end?

Correct. If you want to reduce your risk, it's easy. Divest a portion of your invested amount, and hold the divested amount in cold storage. Voila, reduced risk, reduced return.

I suspect most of the pushing for this feature was from people who were simply overinvested and weren't comfortable with the resulting volatility.

Someone knows how save investments on that website are? The owner is trustworthy and known in person, website is security checked and so on? I mean the revenue looks a bit like ponzi's look though it might be explainable because of the players. On the other hand its hard for me imagine there are so many users believing they could win something there...
I would like to invest more but im not yet confident about it.

Here we go again. A small run of good returns = onset of the fair-weather investors.

If you're thinking of investing, you should be ready to lose a significant percentage (10%, 20%+) of your investment at times. It has happened in the past on just-dice, and it will probably happen again. Investing is almost a bad term for it. Being an "investor" is actually putting on a highly volatile, ever-so-slightly positive expectancy bet. If you aren't into that sort of thing, you should invest in one of the other dice sites that scams their players by making it so that the house literally can never lose.

Make a ticket, they won't notice a thread.

upd: Also, just saw this tweet:

"BigVern ‏@cryptsy

@DevJeff API fixes coming soon. Plus some new advanced streaming via API"

https://twitter.com/cryptsy/status/411690281356890112

I tweeted him too, will consider also making a ticket.

What's with all those zeros? And if they are to be ignored, it's still a problem, because once I do that there are no buy orders left :/

edit: this is also happening with at least a handful of other pairs, such as anc/btc, zet/btc, qrk/btc..

Wow very nice widgets, however please add in Sexcoin for cryptsy. Thanks again.

Currently the code only supports coins which trade vs bitcoin. Sexcoin trades vs litecoin. The litecoin ones could be added, but it is not trivial.
227  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANNOUNCE] LitecoinWidget: bitcoin / altcoin price widget for android on: December 13, 2013, 07:40:06 AM

is it possible to add bter to the list with all their coins like what you did with cryptsy


Thanks for the donation.

Regarding bter, maybe so. I have made a note to look into it.

if you're gonna try this, you might as well try it over at just-dice.com where they have the lowest house edge.
229  Economy / Gambling / Re: Predictious.com | The Premier Bitcoin Prediction Market | Trade & Win Bitcoins! on: December 13, 2013, 07:17:50 AM
1. It would be great to be able to see history of trades that occurred for a given contract. I know there is a graph, but I'm talking about a list.

2. Tell us what the trade volume is for each contract! Lifetime, 24hr, 7d or something like that.

3. I always want to look at the order book when I'm placing an order, but in the current UI they are on two separate pages.

Is it possible to zet/btc
Thanks

Oh I dunno. Maybe one of these days I'll figure out how to automatically add support for all the coins on cryptsy. That would sure make a bunch of people happy.

In the short term, probably not.

Oh well, I caved:

version 32:
 - increase decimal precision

version 31:
 - add ALL coins that trade vs BTC on cryptsy. They all share a generic question-mark icon. You're welcome!

Seems to work for ZET..

Thank you do you have a zet address to send you a donation?

233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Litecoin Widget for android now supports over 50 altcoins on: December 04, 2013, 10:59:21 AM
In the most recent version of Litecoin Widget, just released tonight, I've added support for all the altcoins traded at cryptsy vs BTC.

That's over 50 coins, including most of the popular alts.

Hope y'all enjoy it.

Here's the original Litecoin Widget thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158777.0

(tl;dr -- it's a popular free price widget for android for BTC and alt coins.)

234  Economy / Auctions / Re: [Auction] Just-Dice investment account with 479BTC commission-exempt earnings! on: December 04, 2013, 10:51:07 AM
There is a 479 BTC investment loss on this account.

The investment loss is around 330 BTC.  But commission has been paid up to around +149 BTC of profit.

As a result, no commissions will be charged on the first 479 BTC of investment profit.

This is true.  The next 479 BTC of investment profit will be commission free.

I bid 4 BTC for this account.  That is my only bid.  If beaten, I won't rebid.

Why are you bidding dooglus? If I may ask?

Because if someone else wins it & uses the account, Doog gets less commission? Doog seems like a natural person to bid on this.

237  Economy / Exchanges / Re: www.BITSTAMP.net Bitcoin exchange site for USD/BTC on: December 03, 2013, 09:52:16 AM
What are the best options for US-based traders who are not so much in need of withdrawing currency as they are in just trading COMBINED with safety?  Liquidity is always a major concern.

Kraken will probably eventually be that, though the liquidity right now is skimpy and you may or may not be able to get verified as a US person. I also hear good things about up-and-coming Itbit.

Some traders love bitfinex, but there are also some issues there.

Mtgox may still be your best bet, especially if liquidity is a high priority for you. Too bad their fees stink!

239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin on: December 03, 2013, 09:44:55 AM
where can i find an explanation of how this thing works? where is the code? is it on github?

Source for Nxt has not been released. Some random guy said it was closed source to keep out those who would clone it. Which isn't a very good reason imo.

Word on the street is Nxt will be open sourced in January.

Until then, you get to take all the risks of running who-knows-what on your machine, complete with wallet-stealing trojan risks.

This widget is the best. I recommend it by far. I use it since 5/2013 and so far it works great.
Here are my 0,5 LtC for your efforts :-D


Thanks!

BTW version 29 just landed. It is just some bug fixes.
