are bots banned on just dice? i got banned for an hour im confused

are bots banned on just dice? i got banned for an hour im confused

Short answer: not if they're good.


When you bet a small amount, there is a delay before you get the result back.  During that delay, the bet buttons are inactive to prevent you from trying to bet again.

It's possible, using a bot, to send the 'bet' message to the server as often as you want, even when you already have a bet pending.

A couple of days ago, somebody was taking advantage of this fact and was attempting to overwhelm the server by sending thousands of these bet requests.  I added code to block the IP of anyone spamming the server with bets like that.  It shouldn't affect regular users or well-behaved bots.

Unfortunately it turns out that one bot in particular (Gray's greasemonkey bot, I think) by default acts just like the attacker, and spams the server with bets without waiting for the previous bet to finish, and so users of that bot are now being banned.

I think it may be possible to tell the bot to pause between bets for a short time, which should solve the issue.  Better would be if the bot waited for one bet to finish before sending the next one.

ah yes i suspected as much but i put a 4 second delay on bets. maybe i did something wrong im new to using it. i guess ill try it one more time i think the hour is up ill put a 10 second delay on bets i guess that should work.

 Last night on my dream someone I know who is some sort of coder or something helped me hack the just-dice website and said he wasnt in to bitcoins so he took 10 grand while I made hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins thanks to his program which allowed me to get any result I want which I used to bet stuff like %1 chance and win everytime

 When I woke up , real world looked awful comparing to my dream

I dreamed I was in Vegas playing some kind of a Just-Dice video poker machine.  I knew the server seeds and was winning a lot.

man... I'd love a Just-Dice style machine at a casino..... even if it were some barebones bill taker  -> USD/BTC conversion service -> JD  on an ipad...

Better yet... some casinos have swipe-able "club cards".. how cool would it be to swipe your VIP card and invest in the house for that machine only! for obvious reasons that wouldn't happen of course.

Maybe the best solution is to built an official Just-Dice bot or better yet integrate it into the site.  It would also result in less traffic to the server.

doog is building an in-house bot

doog is building an in-house bot

I hope he makes it very customizable (beyond simple martingaling).  This will greatly reduce the need for external bots that inadvertantly DDOS the server.

JustDice 2.0 will probably be online next year.... Too long been any site updates....

[Swanky]

And we are down again! I think Doog was online this time, so he's probably investigating the issue.

Indeed.

I hope to have it back up soon.

Sorry again for the downtime.

Is it a ddos issue or something else?

Are you running Gray's greasemonkey bot?  That seems to spam the site with bets.  It doesn't wait for each bet to finish before sending the next one.

It's a DDoS issue.

The site is back up now, at a new IP address.  It will take a while for DNS records to propogate.
