As I told you in chat, "This week's pool" is EVERYONE's total referral commission.  "Your share" is what you get on Sunday, which is currently 0, that's why there's a little dash mark.  "This week's pool" does get paid on Sunday, but as of your screenshot you have no referral earnings this week so you won't get anything.

If you had some commission, it would show the amount under "your share".

I have just added new withdrawal option - batch withdrawals. You can now select your withdrawal to be included in a group transaction (as opposed to instant withdrawals with exclusive tx). Batch withdrawals take more time (up to a few hours), but are cheaper, only 0.0001 BTC my friend :-)

Dear ethan_nx,
Keep up the good work. However, there is something I never see on Yolodice site and I think the admin member need to add it to the site in other to make things good for the users. The admin member ought to add forget password to the website because there's no scheme like that on Yolodice site cause users may forget his/her password and need to reset it in other not to loose their fund. Please do something about this.

Good work you are doing there, I have also visited the site and I must say well done. I have a question which is about referrals. After wearing the signature code from my profile on the website, do I need to still insert my referral code somewhere or its already attached to the signature code I am wearing?

[SaShiRaJaVu]

That is a good option to have where we can choose the withdrawal fees according to the urgency and i think every gambling site should have this option  to give the users how much transaction fees you are willing to give as most of them does not like to wait a couple of days for getting one confirmation.

wouldn't it be better if the person could chose the fee not from options but chose the fee completely? I mean it sometimes might take ages for transaction to get confirmed with 0.0001 while 0.0003 would be confirmed way faster. Am I wrong?

[CiderWaffles]

can i change seed every second using dicebot? provably fair isnt enough for me, i want provably fair+
if you can do fast bets then you should allow fast seed change.

if you do i will sign up and deposit

You are both right and wrong.

We ALWAYS add decent network fee to ALL outgoing transactions and thet confirmed usually within 1-3 blocks.

What we charge our players is a flat fee, it's an average of what we pay. We do not profit on these fees, quite the contrary. So both "instant" and "batch" have decent fees. One of the recent withdrawal transaction had 0.0012 BTC in fees, although we charged the user only 0.0005.

The user CANNOT decide on the network fee because it's the wallet that selects the inputs for the transaction. Number of inputs selected depend on the actual unspent we have and the amount of the transaction. It's not something a user has control over. Each input adds ~ 140 bytes to the transaction, the more inputs there are, the larger the tx is and the higher the network fee should be to get the target BTC/kB. The point is it's pointless to allow users to set their own network fee for withdrawals.

Cheers,
Ethan

There is nothing that should stop you generating new seeds now. But there's a catch.

If you really want super-paranoid-provably-fair mode, change the client seed after the seed (and it's server-part) is generated. Generating a new seed every bet does not secure you against anything, it just might sound fancy, nothing more - unless I am missing something. Just note that a dishonest site could even take advantage of your strategy: if you generate a new seed every bet, even if you provide a client-seed in the same call as requesting the new seed, the site could prepare a seed that would generate any result they want in your next bet.

See my point? Give me your client seed, I can generate a server-seed that would produce 123456.

Here's an example I coded quickly. Let's say the bot sends the following request to the site:

Code:

create_seed({attrs: {client_seed: "343534534353"})

Now, a dishonest site wants to screw you and they really want your next bet to be

Code:

123456

So here it is, it should generate the server seed

Code:

47159bb54a4db11a147233861ec46a46d916b23d87851a151bb2a971cfb73053a0728377b815add9c5fd4a00900ba007d4a98c08dd7ff188e8c039e48f9931b7039826e59ee310f339432033393f5a82f51d5435bdb869b4f41565fee0cb4c488bcb81e1285cdb246ac029f0afa201b97cf8753bb05e50085a2a813aa58f2836

The server-seed, combined with your provided seed and nonce "1" results in 123456 exactly. It took a minute on my laptop to find this seed. But let's say the site wants your bet to be

Code:

< 1000

Here's the server secret that rolls 61:

Code:

8f756ea545bf53a4ef60fffbb2d61fe60424dbaf50253b5e1a567ee61775de090cae404445f883b979bc1f76c4ef56b0137d5b86ccbc1cfd844c311d4dc5763cfe1d7748b46d2354362236e2c4e47228a77b4edfe0c7eb925229dae77ceb053553ebf016c93c22cd1b23b548d7ce12cfd54b8726a06c80a67015243d63150025

It took a fraction of a second this time. Got the point? This way an evil admin would make your bets lose 99 in a row on 50% chance just like that. If they know your strategy, you are doomed.

When you change the client seed AFTER the server-side part is already generated, the evil site can do nothing literally to alter your results. You can then keep the same seed, the evil site has no choice than let you roll with the seed they have no control over. The commonly used HMAC_SHA512 makes a pretty decent pseudo-random number generator, so no worries here.

TL;DR generating the seed every bet gives you a false sense of "improved fairness" and makes the game more prone to abuse by an evil site.

Cheers,
Ethan

hi,

i see in my account, the withdraw now have two option to choose, i think its better to have one option and send it instantly although the other option can be fine too.



its been a while for me to stay with yolodice and i see the OP is a good person that really concern with his sites and serious to make the site become larger. thank you for this.

[Kiritsugu]

After wearing the signature code from my profile on the website, do I need to still insert my referral code somewhere or its already attached to the signature code I am wearing?

The coding you used from YD's referral page already has your personal referral link embedded in the signature code.

Ethan i tried betting with bot last night and it was pretty fast around 100+ rolls under 1 minute and those api permissions to the bot are amazing too. It keeps yourself safe from your balance stolen by scam bots. Great work there

I agree there should be one more option for withdrawal. Lets take it like this for slow=10k fee, for intermediate=30k fee and for instant withdrawals=50k fee. I would be nice if ethan add that to the withdrawal option.

The rate of fee is just alright, I just withdrew my funds using the batch option and was able to receive my funds in 2 hours or less. At least we have an option, if you want a faster one which is instant, then just pay a higher fees, no problem about that, it's not high if you win. lol

I can see people use both the fast and slow withdrawals, so I guess it's not a bad split.

Now, I will probably work on 2 other things:

1. Rainbot, tipbot or whatever you call it - to make chat faster and more fun.
2. Redesign the "Play" panel, including the autobetter.

If you have any ideas or comments, please post them! In fact I am counting on your feedback and ideas!. I will also inform you about the progress.

Today I need to take care of the servers, we hit a small performance bottleneck and I made a quick workaround - stats are being pulled from the secondary database, which is not a bad thing after all. But I will need to migrate the master db to a different machine anyway, so there might be a short downtime later today. If I plan any downtime I will keep you posted -- both here and on Twitter.

[ethan_nx]

We are going to perform database migration. there might be a few server restarts and things might not work for a while. I will update this post once overything is up.

UPDATE: it's done, the upgrade went smoothly with just a couple of app restarts. Good luck betting with these new servers! :-)

[JL421]

Hey admin I was thinking of something which will benefit all the people helping you advertise through your signature campaign. I know that you do pay a pretty good amount and I'm really happy about that but is it possible that you give like an extra bonus to all your participants or maybe like a huge bonus to a random member every week. Or maybe a special bonus of all people working in your campaign for 4 weeks. I can think of more I just wanted to give you an idea of what I was thinking.

You didn't notice my idea or you don't like it admin?

It's already up and no update or you do still have to migrate it?

Hi,

I updated the post, the migration is over. We were able to migrate database, Redis server and Bitcoin wallet to a new machine with minimal downtime. Actually there was no downtime at all, just the web backend had to be restarted a couple of times.

Cheers!
