Just seeing the lotto chat.
When Billy_thebot announce william1109 as the winner, but why he's got the prize although he/she not replied at all ?
Is it bug ?

It seems like billy scans the whole chat instead of just the recent message, thats why he got it(can say it is that because of the experience)
P.S : Isnt 777 sats too low amount for a rainbot that occasionally occurs, and you get like 3k sats every min.

I guess 777 sat for each time you win is a good amount for now. Say that you really active in their chat and hit couple of times so you will get a plenty to try roll there may be you can earn some more, although yes it will be too slow to recover your loss hoping on this lotto only

Billy is supposed to run every 20 minutes and check the last 25 chats. We've disabled him for now.

New chat coming out!

Hi Guys,

Just applied to join your signature campaign. Played with some free btc to check the site experience and it appears that there is an issue with auto-betting. The bot seems to ignore my instructions and has a mind of its own. I tried to check in chat, but it appears that no one was online, hence posting here. If you need screenshots, i can probably share them in chat. Another thing, can you please add a target ="_blank" to the code which links me here? I think it would make more sense for people to be redirected in a new tab / window than for bitcointalk to hijack the dice site  . Like the interface, i know the site is new, so there are bound to be a few issues. Hope you guys can iron it out soon! Good Luck!

What's the issue, exactly? Can you describe what happened?

[Vortex20000]

Server_seed is randomly generated after every bet.

Server_seed_hash is displayed for you to copy down.

Validation_hash = SHA256 hash of player_seed combined with server_seed

We then split the validation_hash into chunks of 5 characters and take the hexadecimal representation of the first 5 characters.

If the representation is less than 999999, then we take that number and modulo it by 10000, then divide by 100 to get the result (roll result).

If the representation is more than 999999, we take the next 5 characters, and so on...

After the bet is made, the server_seed will be displayed.

You can verify that the seed did not change by taking the server_seed_hash and hashing server_seed; the hashes should match.

You can then repeat what we did, and you should get the same result.

Hi Vortex,

Thanks for answering. I setup the autobot to martinfail... oops.. martingale, starting up from 100 satoshi at 45% win chance and 100% increase on loss. This is what happened:

The bets look out of order.

YABTF - yet another bug to fix

YABTF - yet another bug to fix

Indeed, a picture speaks a thousand words! 

Will you post back once the bot has been fixed, for the benefit of the community?

A few other things to point out (not sure if these were discussed already in some form, apologies if they were discussed earlier):

1) The FAQ talks about investments, there is no investment tab that i can see.
2) There should be a section for affiliate earnings and to check the number of referrals and earnings. I can't see any such section atm.
3) Bitcointalk link still re-directs the user to this thread.
4) Provably fair should be more prominent imo, right now it is just a small icon on the top left. The formatting on the provably fair pop-up box looks a bit haywire.
5) Is there a possibility to include a link to randomize seed directly, without having to resort to clicking on the provably fair tab?

Small pointers, but i am sure you will agree that user feedback is important and i hope you make changes where you deem fit!

Guys, I have just joined yesterday your signature campaign.
I just wanted to wish you all the best with your new dice web site and a lot of work and customers.
I will be checking it out even though I am not a big gambler.

Good luck!

The owner decided to remove investments due to not being able to provide proof of solvency of a large amount of capital. I'll fix the link to popup in a new window shortly. I'll also contact the designer about the probably fair layout, and add the requested affiliate details.

However; I do not see a need go add a link to randomise the client seed into the main interface. To me, IMO, it should be done manually anyway to be able to verify the rolls you'll need to keep track of your client seed. It's also starting to get a bit cluttered for me (hey, I like it simple).

Once I've completed the fixes, new chat, and bot, I'll work on a client-side script for advanced users to use and an API.

P.S. Thanks for pointing out the investments-in-FAQ oversight; I'd forgotten about that.

Damn it's too bad that investments got removed..
I'll focus on the affiliate program instead.

I might as well cross post here so I can warm both signature campaign participants and potential gambler/investors:

Thanks DiceBits for utilizing my service. I have received 10BTC for the signature campaign. Please note this does not cover the affiliate payment (if any).

Participants please check whether you have been accepted in this google doc. It will be updated within 24 hours at most from your application. You can also post or PM in advance to check whether you will be accepted.

Payouts are on every Friday.

Maximum bet size: ~0.012BTC

Is there any particular reason why the signature campaign has a budget of roughly 100x of the maximum bet size?

The BitDice.me signature campaign has roughly the opposite budget of roughly 1.07 btc verses a maximum bet size of ~127 btc.

Seems kinda fishy to me.....

Hey QS, I'd asked the same question and the admin replied that max profit is low because they are still in beta or something like that , and if you go back a bit you can see that the idea about public investing in the bankroll was scraped off. But I would like to ask this (as I know QS is gonna ask it if I don't) why is the site still accepting real gamblers if they are still fixing up the issues?

Yes I see that the site is not currently accepting investors, even though they were around since May and were accepting investors at that time.

While I do agree that DiscoverCebu's question should be answered regarding why they are accepting *real* investors if they are still in beta mode, however I think a better question would be, why are the spending 10BTC per month in advertising for a site that is not even in full production?

We're supposed to be in full production; the owner basically told me that:

launch in 3 days

I was as shocked as you are, and I'm just trying to keep up with the bug reports 

Basic functions on the site work, it's my guess that the owner has a 3rd party or partner who was pressuring to launch, but that's just A GUESS. The owner is afraid of being hacked, and is thus keeping the hot wallet balance down. The max bet is calculated real-time from the hot wallet minus player balances.

All I can say, be careful with that dice script, you revolutioned the graphic... but still may still recognize it.

im having trouble withdrawing we need admin to come on site chat

Your site launched months ago? That still does not explain as to why they are paying 10BTC per month in advertising when they would expect to have so little in gambling losses by players with such a small bankroll.

Your site doesn't have any kind of cold storage? Don't they expect to ever outgrow their hot wallet?

That, I can't answer - not will not, but can't. I don't know the answer.

My guess: yes. He's shared his visions for the next big gambling site being Dicebits

[Vortex20000]

Hot wallet is empty, please do not attempt any withdrawals. Owner is offline for the next week and he hasn't given me any funds in case this happened. He obviously didn't top it up enough for people to keep withdrawing their free .005.

If you've lost something, kindly PM me to resolve your issue. I will fund your Dicebits wallet and when the hot wallet is refilled you'll be able to withdraw the amount.
