Most ponzis are sc.ams or finish in sc.ams but ponzi games on bitcointalk don't accumulate money, they send it to the old depositors as soon as the new deposits arrive Some players did make money, most lose
No, not most - All by the very definition. Guess who all the early investors are..... the ponzi operator. Ponzi's also by their very definition HOLD onto money, because fucking morons encouraged by fucking idiots like yourself attempt to compound their investment. boumalo, Im done with you - I kindly ask you to stop arguing in favour of ponzi's or I shall brand you a shill and be done with it. Your arguments are pathetic, dangerous and highly ignorant (wilfully ?) of the subject you argue. Your like the uncle that lets kids play with hand guns for fun because water pistols are weak, all the while sipping a beer and telling the terrified neighbours to stop getting their knickers in a knot while bullets are flying through the suburbs. In short, you give horrific advice, endorse terrible actions and act as if its an OK thing to do.

Step 3: As a card is dealt you provide a random seed, manually or automatically generated in your browser (client side, not on the sites server) that the site cannot see or predict. You are describing this in a confusing way. You should write that the seed is used to reshuffle (or as part of a single shuffle) before the card is dealt. agreed that is definitely not the correct way to describe. you provide the seed BEFORE any cards are dealt because the seed is used to reshuffle the deck.

People should be allowed to have free choice but those sc.amming should be ostracised; allowing newbies to post ponzis games is too dangerous because they don't care about being ostracised thus my idea of a ponzi section where newbies can't post threads When a ponzi owner invested time to become a Jr member here he is less likely to run away with the money; at least he is less likely to run away immediately
False, a ponzi by definition is insolvent and the end goal of all ponzi's is to acquire as much funds as possible before it collapses. Ponzi operators ALWAYS run off with the money.Get that through your head boumalo, there is no "honest ponzi" and there has never been nor will there ever be a "solvent ponzi" (unless run by the federal reserve bank but thats a different discussion). They are all new accounts because they intend to disappear once idiots stop pouring money into their wallet.

haha, mem
you make me laugh with your list
"Trustworthy as letting a random stranger take your child for a ride in his "fun" fan" hahaha, horrible lol, "fun fan", I meant to say "fun van" but "fun fan" also sounds like an offer Id turn down from a seedy looking stranger. what do we need to do to have ponzi's removed from gambling section. Why is it soo hart to make category just for them?! its not hart its just poorly enforced. Report ponzi threads to the mods using the links and sometimes they get shifted.

Hi, nice reply - Ive just woken up after a heavy night Ive also noticed a bit honest confusion regarding provably fair. Satoshidice I believe was the first implementation of provably fair, prior to that sites such as minefeild and bitcoingamer offered what I call provable results. I think I need to make a casino check list, I'll start work today on it for casino operators to review. Briefly though, the concept of provably fair in a nutshell is: Card Shuffling:Casino provides hash (next deck + casino seed). Player provides seed for deck shuffle. Player already knows the hash BEFORE setting his seed which determines the outcome. Simple RNG: eg roulette, slots, etc:Casino provides hash of daily secret. Player makes bet and sets his seed. Player already knows the hash BEFORE setting his seed which determines the outcome. So the issue with the implementation you currently have is:Player provides seed. Casino provides hash (next deck + casino seed). Casino already knows the players secret which determines the outcome BEFORE providing the games hash.
So what is currently on offer if provable results. As I said before, it looks like a sincere attempt at provably fair but just implemented wrong I'll fire off an email to that company as well, provably fair is something I hope to see spread to the whole gambling world.

found and fixed, this old code use to work of base units of 1 so some old code had bet = 1 instead of bet = $min also turned on bignum with precision of 10 decimal places, should be more than enough to handle bitcoin nicely That was fixed quickly! Will try it again later and report back hrmm seems hostgator dislikes bignum or their version they have installed is old, so Ive had to leave it off for now. I'll harass support into updating it later.

I found another small problem. I set rounds to 1000, but the output was only till round 28. Which was strange as well, because I set my pot to 0.1 BTC, my max bet to 0.05 BTC and I got this as output:
I don't think that that is correct found and fixed, this old code use to work of base units of 1 so some old code had bet = 1 instead of bet = $min also turned on bignum with precision of 10 decimal places, should be more than enough to handle bitcoin nicely

Mem, quick tip for your roulette simulator. If the result is positive, make the background green and not red.
hrmm not a bad idea, I currently bold the lines if you are out in front buuuut bg colour will make for easier scrolling through the results. I'll tweak it shortly and re-up. Alright. And I sometimes have good ideas done, let me know what you think it does make scrolling easier as well. Ive pm'ed you the current password if you want to have some fun.

i did deposit 0.4 BTC and i just laugh because it requires me to play to hit 3,500 roll over points before i can withdraw..
hrmm not cool. Thanks for playing, seandaniel. We have x15 rollover for bonus chips. Free chips x 15 (Deposit+20% bonus)x15 We think it's better than gaming industry standard, but we will look into further if we can provide even better offer. If you don't want rollover on deposit bonus, you can choose not to enter bonus code during deposit process. I am sorry that you lost money playing live baccarat. We are not happy to see our depositing player lose everything. Please check your account's balance now. Good luck! http://www.bitvegas.euSo, in actual fact he chose to take on the deposit bonus but this bonus then limits your withdrawal for X rounds ? Having a look @ your page now. edit: BY CLICKING ON THIS ,(login required) a new section has been made available in the my account area, which allows you to edit how many times each deck is shuffled and the seed number used to shuffle the deck. have not created an account yet but this does not sound like an ideal implementation, because you know the players seed ahead of time nullifying all benefits of a client being able to seed the RNG. Have a look at bitzino for a good example, they show you the next hands hash first then allow the player to input a seed for the shuffle. I'll jump on after dinner and give it a little play test and send a PM for some more feedback. edit: After a proper look this casino is not currently provably fair BUT it looks like they made a sincere attempt to do so. 20% deposit bonus code: lucky If you don't want deposit bonus, leave it blank and click 'Deposit'. This really does not make it clear to players that by accepting the 20% bonus they will have to "play to hit 3,500 roll over points" to withdraw. IMHO this is unacceptable.

list updated, site also updated hope you like the new badges on the website, I had some fun picking out those this morning. also, Im thinking of adding a "under 3 months old" demerit badge with points of -0.25 I think its needed because we do occasionally have casinos come online, pass all the checks and then once they have sufficient confidence run off with the player funds. Will be adding altcoin badge support soon, been taking a break from coding to actually use the code as a user and see how I like it.

you gamble your money for no fun at all
In that respect sure its a gamble. Lets be fair to ponzi operators, their "games" are definitely : - Safe as walking across the street blindfolded
- Trustworthy as letting a random stranger take your child for a ride in his "fun" van
- Sound in planning and execution as a perpetual energy device
- An investment opportunity that is easily on par with dropping money in a wishing well and wishing for money
I mean its not all bad right ? Its just something no decent person could watch an innocent person get taken advantage of. At least with actual gambling (and not gambling in the philosophical/ poetic sense) players are aware the house has the edge, the games are frequently entertaining (horse races & poker for me) and the house is solvent.

Originally from http://bitcoin-betting-guide.com/provably-fair-gambling/TL;DR The provably fair way for a site to deal cards is for the site to shuffle the deck as normal then provide you with a hash of the shuffle. As a card is dealt you provide a random seed, manually or automatically generated in your browser (client side, not on the sites server) that the site cannot see or predict. Your seed changes the card to something neither you nor the site can have known. This is the online equivalent of cutting the deck to the dealers shuffle. After the hand is dealt the deck is laid out and you can check that the deck started out as the hash the site provided indicated and that the cards were then changed in accordance with the seed you provided. If these are both the case then you have just played a provably fair hand! See link for more details and explanation. pretty much word for word from the bitzino provably fair FAQ and your TL;DR = TL;SDR here is mine. - Dealer hashes (deck order + dealer seed).
- client provides random seed for shuffler
- deck is shuffled with clients seed
Once original deck order and dealer seed is shown, check hash(deck order + dealer seed) against the hash you were shown, then shuffle the deck with the clients seed and check against the cards dealt.
Still reading ? cool then lets discuss some details: Q> Why does the dealer need a random seed ? A> Well if he didnt seed the hash, you could create a hash table of every deck combination then when playing simply look up the deck order using the hash then shuffle it using your seed and you will know the order of the deck. Q> Whats so important about a client seed. A> without this its not provably fair, its only provable results. Q> Can I trust the site to generate my seed for me every time. A> No, you should use your own RNG or at the very least verify their RNG is actually a RNG. Let me put it another way, would you let the dealer cut the deck for you ? if not, then you should be setting your own seeds using your own RNG or ensuring the client side RNG is what it claims to be.

Ponzis are gambling but they should get into new section like gambling where you never win or maybe donations ponzi's ARE NOT "gambling games" NOR are they "Bets". I like how people wax poetic on the definition of gambling version gambling games. Ponzi's are a gamble, like everything in life eg: Im going to walk across a busy street blind folded and I wont get hurt. Any support for ponzi's is indulging stupidity and risky behaviour and trust in the untrustworthy (ponzi operators).

I've used Coinjar before once, and everything went as advertised. But this second time I am having problems with my deposit at the bank not coming through (filler still doesn't show the money in my account). As I have used their printout NAB deposit slip, there can be no mistake on my part. 24 hours later - no money, coinjar isn't replying to emails or tickets raised at their site. Not happy. Will go elsewhere next time. Buyer beware coinjar, definitely.
I doubt its coinjar themselves. I think this is the issue, coinjar is again without a bank to work with. Ive no doubt your BTC deposit and withdrawals are working but it looks like the powers that be are not finished fucking around with bitcoin businesses. edit: seems still have some BTC etc there, I'll fire off a $100 withdrawal now and report if it doesnt come through in the usual time.
