I'm considering making a Chrome plugin that watches as you play provably fair games and checks the hashes for you. I think it would add value to players who don't know how to check the hashes for themselves, or can't be bothered to. And having it developed by a third party rather than the house itself adds weight to its verification of your fairness too I think.
That'd be so good for people like me who have no idea about 99% of the provably fair systems (Yeh I'm bad with computers )

Nice thread, but I believe it's a little unfair & misleading to say a game like this one is quite popular (Bit Pimp) & a game like this one as not popular (Bitcoin Sword)

I guess it's just the wider adoption of Bitcoin vs. Litecoin? Judging by prices... One can assume to some extent that the amount of people with Litecoin is: "Number of people with Bitcoin"*("Litecoin Price"/"Bitcoin Price") as a percent
That number would be like 2% I'd assume (Not quite up to date on LTC price). So from this you'll probably see 49 BTC bettors for every 1 LTC bettor.
Keep in mind my logic may be way off so feel free to correct me

Zaih what you are not seeing is the losing players and how much they lost. I personally was up 3 BTC and gave it all back + 2 more. So I'm down 2 BTC. I guarantee that Stunna is not down 250 BTC or even close to that. With the past day or so of bets honestly I think he/she has gotten back probably at least 10% of the 212 he/she lost right from the get go. I can see this being a very addicting game to some and thus many "degens" will lose a ton to this game no matter even if the expected value is +EV because of chasing losses.
Ah fair enough. Well that's good to hear. And yeh you aren't wrong on the addicting part. Zaih what you are not seeing is the losing players and how much they lost.
If I were a little more paranoid I'd say Zaih is dropping these ideas that the RNG is skewed in the player's favour just to plant the seed in people's heads that they might be able to take advantage and beat the house, encouraging more traffic to the site. But I'm not that paranoid, oh no I actually wasn't the one to bring this up, and how can one not wonder when a casino is down so much in such a small period of time. Sorry though, I see where your coming from.

And Stunna's luck continues Have you checked out your RNG yet dude, you just seem to keep losing money no matter what lol Holy shi- that's amazing. I wish I had big ones to roll with, but what is RNG? Random Number Generator. Just saying cause it seems Stunna is down over 250 BTC by now. Heaps over 10 - 30 BTC cashouts today. Maybe the RNG is sided towards the bettor, I'm not sure. KingOfSports was talking about it earlier in the thread I believe.

Confirming the payout the remainder of the 200 BTC cashout to Bitcoinm. Congratulations, again. (And for anyone reading this & didn't read the prior pages: I did offer to pay it out straight away but Bitcoinm was adamant that I have a bit more time incase other large bettors come). Oh and I had to unwillingly take a 10 BTC "tip".. Didn't have much choice since he kept sending it back haha. So thanks for that, I guess. Confirmed. To be honest, I never wanted to cash out that much. I got to 10 bitcoins and realised that the site being so new, I might not get paid out. So I tried to lose actually, I was going to keep betting until I got to 5 Bitcoins, as I belived it was more rational. Before I knew it, I was at 50 BTC, then 100 BTC and then the 200 mark. At that point I said stuff it, I only started with 2 BTC so I didn't have much to loose if Stunna chucked a runna (haha..). You can all see how it ended up though, so great news for me. Thanks a lot, and there's no doubt I'll be back betting again in the very near future! Lmfao so that's why you had so much balls! you were TRYING to lose. This is a bloody good story.

I guess you could say you had it coming for you. It's not as if Paypal doesn't make their terms and conditions extremely clear At least you made a decent amount from the scheme. I assume there's not much stopping you from creating a new Paypal account and getting back into it again?

Australia recently announced its budget for this year and I was quite pleased.
I guess you don't hear about a lot of other stuff.
To answer your question, I don't really feel much. I honestly don't mind doing so, I believe in having an obligation to paying your country in return for the high living standards we receive. At the end of the day, they can spend it on what they want.
