Hello, may I know the progress on distributing Bitcoin Gold to those who had BTC on Yolo during the fork? Will there be an announcement made on this soon?

As soon as Ethan has an announcement to make on progress about Bitcoin Gold, he will post here, as he's said many times.

YOLOdice's newest competition just started!  Wager as much as you can, and win a prize!  Details are here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2413677.0

[Lionidas]

Yeah. Right after I bet total of 71btc within the past 3-4 days.

I am the top of all the leaderboards but post this announcement.
Ah just my luck.

Ah, damn, sorry you missed it :/

I personally like to wait until competitions start to play a whole lot (but I still play regularly).  If it helps you any, we start competitions roughly once every two weeks, so maybe you can plan it out if you'd like.

Great competition, like wagering huge with small amount and really can do this very well but if prizes aren't big, really. One bitcoin for first winner would be better, it would make competition more valuable.

Please Note:  At the end of the contest, if you're one of the top 15, you must claim your prize by PMing ethan_nx on YOLOdice  by typing /pm 1 and then just let him know you're a winner.

Curious, owner can see statistics and why is there a need of PMing/contacting him? Can't understand.

Someone asked this in the competition thread, so I'll copy my answer from there for you:

"I asked Ethan this same question when he wanted to ask people to PM him and if I remember correctly his answer was this:

Some people play (or at least there used to be) and never pay attention to competitions or bother participating in them, or they play on alt accounts for a day or a couple days that they never use after that, and he didn't want to be crediting prizes to "throwaway" accounts that people will possibly never use again.

It'd be a waste of BTC to credit a prize to an alt account someone made that just wanted to play for a day or several and didn't care about the competition and then never used it again; it would just sit there forever.  He'd much rather have people claim their prizes so none of it goes to waste, and if by chance someone doesn't claim, the funds go back in the pool for future competitions. Smiley

I hope that answers your question."

As for your prize comment, we're aware that larger prizes bring more people, but YD is still a relatively small and new casino.  We choose prize sets that fit within our current budget, and try to appease both high rollers and lower rollers.  YD, or Ethan for that matter, doesn't have 1000s of coins laying around to be giving out 1btc prizes to multiple people.

At least not yet.

Another small change, but AM now relies totally on my local full node for all blockchain information (The info reported by !last and !fee). Price and conversion will have to continue to rely on third party APIs because it would be infeasible for me to implement it. So, nothing that you guys should notice except for using !last might be a little bit faster now

Bitcoin Gold distribution

We are almost ready to distribut BTG coins to people that held Bitcoin blanace on 24 October. This time our bot, HAL, will handle some of the work.

I think we'll be ready to start distributing coins later this week, but you can already tell us to which address you want us to send your coins. To do this simply:

1. Go to our chat: https://yolodice.com/#chat
2. Type this to start a conversation with our bot HAL:

Code:

/pm 9

3. In a private conversation with HAL type this to check your BTG balance. HAL will tell you what to do next:

Code:

btg

That's all. I will post more details about the distribution once we are ready to actually send the coins.

Cheers!
Ethan

That is great.

However users should be warned that the wallet listed on BTGGPU website MyBTGWallet is a scam and has stolen millions of dollars worth of BTC, ETH,BCC and BTG due to asking users for their private key and seeds.

The wallet might be removed now from the main website but people can still find links to it from various places.

[houseworx]

Hello there, one of thing that I wanna say is - YOLOdice is the best site for playing dice at all from many aspect sides. IMO.

gold thing that you have is "automatic reconnect" if you are playing from bot 24/7, and you get disconnect/error(idk its site problem or internet connection) you will get automatically retrying to the last "point" and continue betting, so there is no so much hurting disconnects "while you in big streak and big proportion of bankroll are in game" like has every other dice site!

I hope you will grow like community and dice game platform.

i dont understand other people who was playing in shi*ty sites, where bets are only every 3seconds and there is no disconnect protection(if i can call it)

definetly site what I recomend.


only one point is not so nice, that in last months bet speed is decreased something like 10-20%

sugestion - if there will be more "coins" like ETH, LTC, etc, then need to make "coin to coin" changer like it was in cryptogames casino.



and allow more than one connection at the same time..., what is side effect why you have only one possible connection from account?!

Cryptocurrency users should ALWAYS be careful when using ANY software. You are definitely right. Do you think we should add a warning of some sort to what HAL says?

UPDATE: We are almost ready to start sending BTG coins. I have succesfully moved coins out of cold wallet. Wait for more info tomorrow. Cheers!

So glad that you're handling this for us Ethan, very much appreciated by me and I'm sure many others.

Hello!  Hopefully I can address some of your statements.  Firstly, I'm glad you like it here!  Ethan and Scott both work really hard to make YOLOdice nice for everyone.

Bet speed should be fairly consistent depending on your physical distance from the YD servers, though over time Ethan has had to add some betting delays on bets under 100 satoshis because the site total of bets placed per second has grown over time considerably, and if he didn't add delays for the smaller bets, then all bets (even large ones) would have pretty significant delays.  Bets over 100 satoshis are still pretty fast, I get 3-5/second, and I'm very far away from the YD servers (they are EU-based).

As for your coin exchanger suggestion, I actually suggested that to Ethan a long time ago when he first mentioned integrating other coins; it is already under consideration.

Thanks!

[ethan_nx]

So glad that you're handling this for us Ethan, very much appreciated by me and I'm sure many others.

I have sent the first batch of BTG to those that claimed it already. I will try to email everyone that had balances on YD at the time of the fork.

Good thing is that BTG/BTC exchange rate increased a bit since yesterday, I was tempted to sell all my BTG at once, I am glad I did not do it :-)

Cheers,
Ethan

So we use the instructions posted earlier and get our BTG through HAL? We don't PM you Ethan,this time?
By the way the batches are often or once a day?

Yes you should add a warning. Because BTG website https://bitcoingold.org/ removed the link but it is still circulating from old forums posts and its linked on Google and people are still falling for this scam and not only losing their BTC but they are losing every single coin they own if they import a seed like an Exodus wallet because that wallet houses many different coins.

In my opinion people shouldn't withdraw until more exchanges support the coin. So far the only large exchange is Bittrex. I am waiting also for Poloniex and Bitfinex to enable deposits of this coin.
