Satoshi Dice

[Stephan21]

Guys, this will sound retarded, but I went to Satoshi Dice to make a bet and I literally could not find the wallet address that you send the BTC to !?!?!?!?!

anyone want to tell me where the **** it is?!

They just blocked SatoshiDice for all US IP Addresses; you could be caught up in that.

"Bet adress" in "Bets", lol

Wow, I wasn't aware of that. I wonder if they were contacted by some kind of authority. Despite that, you'll probably just end up losing btc there anyway.

[Stephan21]

Thanks for that info crew.   I really appreciate the super fast responses.

I am in Australia, but you could be right, cos I cant find it.

They're at the bottom of the page on the left. They all start with 1dice.

[Stephan21]

Wait, my bad, I just realised that ALL those addresses are able to be bet on... crazy!!

[Stephan21]

I am going to bet $1 and try to win $1000 !!

[hasher87]

has anyone ever won big?!

[Stephan21]

Yeah, look under the "big wins" tab.

[Stephan21]

I was loosing too much on the 1000:1 bets.. I have moved to 100:1...

The cool thing is that you know the site is legit cos you can see the transactions on the block chain of people getting paid.

its not really a dice game tho.... its just a statistics game... you cant really have a dice with 64,000 sides can you... it would just look like a round ball.

[hasher87]

well i did tried, with a 90% so-called winning odds.. bet 0.01, but i only received 0.0005 in returns i guess haha

That means you lost right? I lost like 0.1 BTC on satoshi dices, and I told my self I am never playing it again.

Think you would just need thousands of dice.

It's quite useful when you are just starting out because it allows you to send small test transactions to see if everything works and it gives you a good starting point for how the block chain works etc. I've used it a few times, won lost etc.

You could just roll one ten-sided die 6,400 times.  

Any dice game is just a statistics game.  The physical dice are just a reasonable way of generating random numbers.  In the case of Satoshi Dice, the hash of your transactionID combined with the daily "secret" act as "virtual dice" to generate random numbers.

EDIT:  I meant to say "You could just roll one ten-sided die 5 times."  You would roll it once for each digit and if the result was higher than 64,000 you would simply discard and re-roll the 5 digits again.  You would either need a ten-sided die that was marked 0 through 9, or if you used a die marked 1 through 10 you would need to write down a 0 any time you rolled a 10.

Guys, I should have mentioned last night (but I was real tired & not thinking straight) that I lost all my money on SatoshiDice and thought that I wouldnt be able to get more coins till Monday.  Cos i am over in Australia where the only way to buy BTC is to go to the bank.   But I found a new website that lets you buy BTC 24/7 !!!

If you are in Australia, hit up buybitcoinaustralia.com.au  it is the cheapest price I could find, but more importantly, it doesnt require going to the bank in business hours.
