Regarding Bitcoin Cash: we will be sending Bitcoin Cash coins in a few days, if you are interested, please folow this BitcoinTalk thread or follow us on Twitter. BCH network is digging blocks really slow, looks like developers did not think about resetting the difficulty upon forking.

Honestly, the coin is pretty much dead right now, blocks are really rare and most exchanges do not allow you to deposit (nor withdraw) BCH. The initial price increase was only due to speculations and limited supply of coins. The exchanges that allow deposits are driving the BCH price down pretty quickly.

Tomorrow I'll talk to Scott and we'll find a way to distribute the coins to YD users.

I am still thinking what we should do with our own coins... do you have any ideas?

Cheers,
Ethan

Thanks for the update ethan, yes it is pretty much useless to send out Bitcoincash to users because it will take more than a day to reach their wallet and also there are not many wallets where they can store those Bitcoincash.

You and we can wait till exchange platforms will open deposits for BCC which might take few more days.

A few exchanges actually accept deposits, so you should try to short your BCH asap while the network is slow and people haven't start dumping massively. As I'm writing it, the good price is around 0.1-0.13 BTC, but it can drop within minutes. If you will be too late, you might want to keep it and wait for some pump, but it might be risky, cause it might just die at some point.
You probably know it, but just in case, be very careful with BCH clients, use them on separate machine and move all BTC to new wallet before importing private keys.

As far as I can see https://hitbtc.com/exchange accepts BCH deposits with 2 confirmations, but it might take a long time to get even those 2 confirmations :-)

I compiled the official client code from the sources and keep it in a separate environment. Our cold wallet keys never left the air-gapped cold wallet devices So I think we are pretty much safe :-)

Bitcoin Cash distribution details

Yep, YOLOdice is one of the very few dices site that do it!

As promised earlier YOLOdice will send out Bitcoin Cash coins to users that had positive Bitcoin balances at the moment of fork. We took snapshot of balances on 2017-08-01 13:16:56 UTC time.

We are paying 1 BTC = 1 BCH, for accounts that had minimum balance of 0.001 BTC (to avoid sending dust).

To claim your coins, do the following (if you think you had balance on your account):

1. Send a private message to ethan(1) in our chat at https://yolodice.com/#chat something like this. Simply type

Code:

/pm 1

and then:

Code:

Hi, please check my BCH balance and send it to XXXXXXXXXXXX

where XXXXXXXXXXXX is your BitcoinCash address (NOT your Bitcoin BTC address). Make sure you write from the same account you want to claim coins from!

2. If you don't get any response from me and your address is not included in the spreadsheet, to make sure we received your PM you can send us an email to yolodice@zoho.com saying

Code:

Hi, this is XXXXX(nn) from YOLOdice. I sent you a PM about BCH withdrawal, please check it.

3. We'll check  your balance and we'll add an entry to this spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rUJuHDgia2h29hczviBGxfUEtNUpZb8uQM4zNyKey_Q/edit?usp=sharing

It will list your withdrawal address, the amount to be sent and (after sending the transaction) txid.
If your account had no balance, we'll add your withdrawal address with amount equal 0 so that you know we processed your request.

4. Once a day we'll make a transaction and send out coins. We'll update the spreadsheet to let you know the transaction id.

5. We are waiting for your withdrawal info till Thu, 10th August 2017.

Note: Sending BCH is not our priority, but we want to be fair to our players and investors that kept their bitcoins with us during the "fork times". Thank you for keeping us going!

Cheers,
Ethan

^^ Nice thing to offer to your customers Ethan_nx!  
Now I wish I had investments in the site if I knew you were going to be doing this for your loyal players.

Will also participate in this bitcoincash giveaway.
Just for the heck of it.

I think you probably misunderstood the message by ethan. He was referring to giving the BCC that was rightfully ours(our account balance). I don't think he's doing a giveaway of BCC or even interested in BCC giveaways for now.

[piloder]

Nice update ethan but which wallet you are using to send out those Bitcoin cash? I have tried electroncash to send some of BCC but can't do it right now.
Are there any other wallets where we can import our bitcoin's privatekey to spend those free BCC?

It looks like you have already sent out BCC to few members.

I am using an official client from https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc. At this point I would not trust anything else and even with the official client compiled from sources I keep it running in a separated environment... I always do it with new coins and I highly advice this to everyone. A virtualized Linux machine should be more than enough to run these. The only downside of official bitcoin-abc software is that you still need over 120 GB to keep the blockchain :-(

Another batch withdrawal is coming in a few minutes.

Thanks for the notification on how to handle these bitcoincash coins Ethan.
I was wondering if to download that client but 120 GB is way to much for my hard drive on the current machine I have in storage to handle.

I have a withdrawal at the top of the hour so great timing on your part. But I do hope you are meaning for the casino withdrawals for the batch payments you are referring too.
Cause I didn't have any BCH waiting for me since I didn't hold any btc on the site available to claim these coins.
Ah well.
You win some and you lose some.
But no worries because the price on them are so volatile right now.
Even more so then BTC. Which has been keeping it's ground nicely in the last 72 hours from the fork might I add.

First of all, thanks for sending the BCC on such short notice. It feels great to meet a person who is very honest and fast in his work.
Have you come across any reliable wallet that doesn't require full sync of the blockchain? Or is Electron Cash suitable for now? I think being a fork of Electrum, it maybe pretty reliable. I too face the problem of storage when it comes to syncing the blockchain.

[Mike Mayor]

I'm glad you don't this. I think it's a massive advantsge over other dice casinos. It will also gain trust. Yolodice just keeps getting better and better. You doing a good job nathan_nx

Your instructions are clear and concise I don't think there will be any confusion.

122 gigs were too much for me,so I simply installed the electron cash wallet
then sent my electrum balance away,waited for 20 confirmations to be on the safe side
and swept the keys into electron cash wallet,everything went smoothly
just had to change the server from default,BCC tokens were there and I sent them to Viabtc exchange (the only one that was accepting deposits at that moment)
and successfully sold them at 0.15,which is roughly, 1.5x more than now,a day after
of course,used virtualisation and since I am not planning to use BCC wallets,it is now dead and burried
p.s. Viabtc requires you to get 20 confirmations on bcc  before you can withdraw exchanged btc,so be patient- it takes  ages

I just wanna say thanks for the easy BCH transaction. A+ customer service

[ethan_nx]

Regarding a wallet - well, most people I know dump BCH immediately and exchange them for BTC. I don't think BCH will have much higher value in the future, so I did the same with my own coins. In this case you don't need a wallet, you can just send me an address of your deposit address at an exchange. Just make sure it's the right address. That's all.

Regarding Electrum Cash - I have not tried it, but there are several threads on BitcoinTalk and Reddit, you should probably read them before you download it.

Thanks for all the positive comments! I feel we are doing the right way giving you your Bitcoin Cash coins! You can still leave me "trust feedback" on BitcoinTalk if you like what we are doing :-)

Cheers,
Ethan

I didn't even think about the coins of the investors that are stucked in the gambling site.
Good thing Ethan and company are advanced with this kind of services.
A fair trade for those who kept their coins with Yolodice. I think it all went well for those who wants to have bitcoin cash.
I agree with Ethan that there will be a big dump with this coin so better hurry for those who still want their BCC to be withdrawn.
It might have a lot of procedure but it is better to do it early than having a dust after all gets silent about BCC.

[bias]

I don't say that is a big of proccedure at all.
Ethan and his team do it as much simple as it gets and with a great responce.
Few minutes earlier i send him a pm as per his instructions and...voila!

Thanks Yolo,indeed an A+ customer service!

[DarkStar_]

Great to see that you are distributing the BCC that you got instead of stealing it or just not letting your customers have it. I've sent a message to you in chat, hopefully I did it right (username: Dark).

Yep, YOLOdice is the only dice site that does it!

Crypto-Games is also doing it, and their main thing is dice. They also had a plan laid out before the fork and stated that they will give the coins. Just saying. (source: am investor in C-G as well) I believe you are more active with processing the withdraws though, so nice job on that.

Thanks, I did not know that. Our statement was based on a short digging-in into other sites and opinion of people I know. I am changing this statement since obviously it's not true, as you noted. Thanks!

bitvest is doing it as well -source:investor in bitvest
they had a very good contingency plan,detailed on their blog,I simply pm ed my BCC addy and got the coins transferred
and crypto-games are doing it too,doesn't change the fact that yolodice is doing the right thing and takes care of their customers
some of the bigger sites like pd and bitsler,for example didn't disburse BCC
