I want to know, why YOLOdice are not allowing more than one connection from same API key, even with another one, to bet with same account with two opened bots for example?!
Why do you need to bet from two bots at once? I am too lazy to test, but does "read_site_data" API already include LTC data?
Hi, there is an updated API site: https://dev.yolodice.com. Yes, read_site_data include LTC data too. I might be working on REST API too if anyone is interested. Cheers, Ethan I can see why that would be helpful for some people who just want to scrape the site for data (like dicesites.com), but I'm amazed at the stability of the TLS API. At first I was wary of being able to get it working, but after I did, AM often goes days without a reconnect. Most of the time it reconnects because my network changed/I had to restart my machine.

OK, here's the real reason: all bets are being placed in order, first-in-first-served. No bets can be placed at the very same time, therefore we use database locking and queuing internally. Now, bets from the same user require a bit different (more) locking and queuing than bets from distinct users. In other words - we can create bets from distinct users with better concurrency (and more throughput) than bets from the same user. Because of this even if we allowed simultaneous betting from multiple clients, there would be no (or very little) performance gains in terms of bets per second. We want to avoid is keeping a per-user queue of to-be-executed bets on our servers because this would increase resources required to run the service. Besides, it's not that we "forbid" using multiple clients placing bets at the same time. It's just when client A sends a "create_bet" method and client B sends a request "create_bet" before this first "create_bet" request gets processed, client B gets an error. Cheers, Ethan

Also, are you planning to open LTC investments later? ETA?

Why do you need to bet from two bots at once? Mostly is to get some jackpot, many people doing this intentionally to aim the jackpot, I saw many sites that offer jackpot, many people are trying to abuse it by playing more than one bot, more rolls mean higher chances that you will hit the jackpot right? It will be better to have 2 bots rather than 1 bot, more over if the bot is really slow

Good to see the competition has gone live now. I would rather bet with litecoin, I don't know about others who are using the site but I love that option being available now. The more variety the better! Also didn't notice that glitch before with betting with ltc and it showing it won as btc. I just bet that user was surprised when he saw that amount for the ltc he spent on the wager to get back 40x more($12000 per btc as $300~ltc) of his winnings. More viewed as a bonus!

Hey Ethan! Thanks for continuing working on YoloDice as usual Is LTC a one time thing or do you plann in integrating more and more coins as time goes by? I'm not interested in LTC but I got some stacks of ETH and Monero that could be used for that ^^

YoloDice does not cease to amaze. Will there be new contests with a large prize pool?

I'm not interested in LTC but I got some stacks of ETH and Monero that could be used for that ^^ Currently BTC and LTC are all we have, but we will be adding more in the future. With the way Ethan re-designed YOLOdice (the backend), it should be much easier for him to add other coins in the future. I know he has considered both ETH and Monero, but he has not reached any conclusions yet, so for now we just have to wait.

On the one hand it is great that LTC has been added to YOLODice. Especially, because it allows people, who gamble with small amounts to make fast and cheap deposits once again. However, I´m wondering whether LTC was really the best addition out of all the available altcoins. The decision of Charlie Lee to sell all of his Litecoin doesn´t look particularly promising for the future of the coin. His reasoning is also doubtful at the very least, because he suddenly discovers a conflict of interest when previously he had no problem with it while working at Coinbase. Personally, I think that it is entirely possible that LTC would have never been added to Coinbase if Lee would have never started working there. I´m looking forward to the addition of another altcoin that is not LTC.

Adding LTC seems like the easiest first choice because of how very similar it is to BTC.

However, I´m wondering whether LTC was really the best addition out of all the available altcoins. Litecoin is well established for sure and we wanted a coin like that. Plus, Litecoin mimics Bitcoin technically so it was easy plugging into the wallet software itself. The biggest obstacle was changing YD code and data structures to handle more than one coin. Personally I think Ethereum is worth aadding, but it's based on a very different technology, so it's not a direct plug-in. But we can start working on it now. Other than that, I am looking at Monero. Some of its privacy features make me believe this coin has a future. But I am open to any suggestions - any coin you think is worth adding, tell me! Cheers, Ethan

I´m pretty much open to any other altcoin and have no concrete idea, I just have some doubts regarding Litecoin since Charlie Lee sold all of his Litecoin - pretty much at the all-time high. Personally, I view Litecoin as a testnet for new Bitcoin features and not as a real altcoin with a real use case. But this is of course only my opinion, other people might think more positive about Litecoin. Obviously I also have to admit that it seems like a good addition for the time being, because transactions are relatively cheap and fast, which is of paramount importance for a gambling site. Anyway, thank you for the reply, Ethan!

This, to me is why Litecoin made the best first addition to the site. It allowed Ethan and Scott to add a framework for adding new coins to YD, while being very similar to Bitcoin. At the same time, it's on nearly all exchanges, and the exchange rate relative to BTC is not as volatile. This means that people that previously had stopped depositing because of fees, can now play again with LTC.

Also potential for Bitcoin atomic swaps letting people gamble with a larger number if they like (perhaps some "loss recovering" strategy), as well as some other benefits once LN is more developed.
