CoinGames is back!

[CoinGames]

You're talking about this transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/ed0638d8b13ac8c1c032c2e228a1fa03a394b5eae98dea056909e8783943ca41
right?

As you can see he sent 4 bitcoins to his address but the change (0.0357598) was sent back your address, if he had you private keys, why he would do that?

That is interesting. Thanks for pointing it out. However the fact that he managed to send 4 BTC from all 3 of our addresses simultaneously is not compatible with how our system works. Also our system would have added a "win" message to a winning bet. I still think the hackers managed to get a hold of the private keys somehow.

In fact it looks like they then proceeded to take the spare change as well, in a number of transactions, as you can see here:
https://blockchain.info/address/1CupN8S71dVcWRE2LcFc4CwymUbSAefBpA

There are several transactions to the same 16oP8up3f8ePer1vfBPhypRqkUnsA9ZfYM  address, all from 2013-08-25.  None correspond to an incoming transfer which would trigger our gaming system.

[CoinGames]

I've actually followed the money a bit, and the way that address 16oP8up3f8ePer1vfBPhypRqkUnsA9ZfYM makes hundreds of transfers to a large string of addresses to hide the final owner of that money is highly suspect, indicative of deliberate obfuscation.

If our private keys were intercepted, there is a very limited amount of ways it could have been done.

-Our addresses were created through https://bitcoinvanity.appspot.com/
-We used an online wallet hosted by https://blockchain.info/
-We communicated with blockchain through their RPC API http://blockchain.info/api/json_rpc_api
-Our website hosting provider is http://www.orangewebsite.com/ and was paid for in BTC

The security flaw is almost certainly in one of the above points. Those addresses were not used for anything else and no other online wallet, website, or org has access to the private keys.

My suspicion is still that this was the blockchain.info RNG security flaw that some people have mentioned, but I don't discard any possible suspects. Hell, maybe the vanitygen website is a scam and keeps the private keys of every address that they generate... who knows..

On the blockchain.info security flaw, more here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=277595.0


I've also sent a message in a new transaction to brand the hacker's address:

Public Note: WARNING HACKER! The receiving address belongs to a Hacker who stole over 4BTC from us. See CoinGames Hacked.

Hopefully at some point in the future it will help to track stolen funds and taint all addresses associated with this one. At the very least it will force the thief to go through a mixer..

My guess is that the hacker somehow got hold of your blockchain.info password and used that to transfer the money.  This also explains why the transaction pay the change to the 1cup address and why they were initiated by blockchain.info.

I can only guess how he got the password.  Maybe he broke into your server and found the password in the scripts that do the RPC API calls.

That sounds plausible. I´ll get in touch with our provider and see if we can somehow verify that hypothesis. Thanks Johoe.

[CoinGames]

Well.. we are back online. Using the same betting addresses. Let's see what happens.

[delfastTions]

I wonder if CoinGames is the same casino from 2012?  
Or suddenly someone began to advertise themselves, or is it some kind of modification of the original?  
Who understands what?

More games and features coming soon!

OP non of the sites provided by you is working. why? I dont believe that Coingames site is still working again. I have been hearing coingames in my locality and boys where playing their games and saying the games were good and the site was running smoothly. So, when you said, coingames is back so I was thinking to check the platform and the features of the site to know if I can place a bet. But irony was the case. But if there is another site that has been developed by them, the OP being the company's agent should provide the new site in the forum. But if the site or the company is not existing anymore. this thread should be locked to avoid spamming. Because if this thread is not locked and the so called coingames are not on existence then all the comments on this thread are useless. If they are on maintenance, you can also inform us. Instead of keeping us muted.

Naturally, in 10 years everything has changed and the old links stopped working.  

It's just that I accidentally, while reading the news, found an advertising article about CoinGames.  And rummaging through the corners of my memory, I remembered that it seemed like there was already such a casino.  I looked at old topics and saw that such a casino was indeed opened a long time ago.  Then it disappeared for many years, disappeared on the Internet.  

But here are the new links to CoinGames:

https://coingames.bet/en

Of course, the domain is different now, and probably this new CoinGames is not related to the old site coingames.in

Maybe someone was lucky enough to snatch the domain since no one else is using it for so long. It is still a catchy name for a platform and it can still potentially attract a lot of new comers into the space if only this new site offered something unique and gave out a lot of positives to the overall experience of the players.

Seeing how crude were the methods of old in order to place a bet, I couldn't be happier that we advanced and made a lot of things easier for gamblers.

If you look with the help of the service who.is then you can see that the domain coingames.in it is sold for $17,121.20, so it's hard to guess whether it is the predecessor of the site of the same name casino on the domain .bet here's what the page looked like coingames.in in 2013

17k was a decent amount only for just a domain but if this was sold then why the domain is still not functional? They did only bought it for nothing? Or maybe they have plans for it later on. I don't think the other site/link has a connection to the old gambling site and as we can see their designs and the games are also different from each other, but thanks for sharing how the old site look like. It's simple but it looks pretty interesting.

I wonder if the game is live like there's really a cat that will shuffle the cups or it's only just an image but the game is going to be drawn using some kind of a randomizer. The second link/site looks good too.

[delfastTions]

Actually, the link in my post is from an advertising article that was published in a pretty decent publication dedicated to the world of cryptocurrencies.  It may well be that someone decided on the revival of the once torn casino.  In general, I do not think that the new link is some kind of scam.  

But of course, I can’t give guarantees of good faith and the authors of the article itself and the publication itself.

[Daltonik]

I think the creators of the new gambling site just took a beautiful name for themselves and since the CoinGames brand was not previously registered, as I think, as property and the original site was just made by enthusiasts, it seems to me that it has nothing to do with the original creators.

Are we talking about the domain or the name of the site here?
As for me the domain is not working. It’s showing connection failed.
I guess if there is a new site with the same name, then it’s completely different from the OP here.
Here the site is from 2013, and at that time the contents of the site were really different, so I don’t think the site we are considering here is the one from the 2013.
I will be really surprised if the OP here at Bitcointalk comes online and announce about the site.

[tabas]

I guess the domain which is '.bet' isn't related to the owners of the old coingames. It's hard to say that this .bet and .com domains are related as there will always be the quicker catch for these good domain names.
But looking at the .bet domain, it looks like a good casino although I haven't tried it and it's the first time that I've seen it because delfast has shared it.

How did you learn that the domain was bought for $17,121.20? The who.is service doesn't seem to show that information.

Are we talking about the domain or the name of the site here?
As for me the domain is not working. It’s showing connection failed.

The site works perfectly fine from my end. But the domain name we are talking about here is coingames.bet (the old domain from the OP was coingames.io).

Well according to the title of the thread they say that they are back, but I think they are not active yet, if the domain has not been purchased then how can they say that they are active? I think that with this you should be careful and not fall into sites where they can do some phishing, many people can fall into it.

No, they're not back. The original post on this thread has made it back in 2013, so they're not back and they're not really active at all and that title was made on that year. The recent discussions have started due to the domain that's likely made them back but not on this original one.

I think that with this you should be careful and not fall into sites where they can do some phishing, many people can fall into it.

Just like what everyone has been doing, whether it is for a casino or an exchange, just be careful to where you're depositing your money and always do a research.

If they are same one i think people will know as you have such instinct concerning them. Because if it's them they will make possible changes that you don't know or the change that you will not understand or change you can know that they are the one but have different new things in the platform that will make them be unique from the old one

I hope everyone will see what you're saying, the gambling site CoinGames is really dead, actually this thread has sunk in the edit online was done in 2013, somehow this dead thread is resurrected, luckily their website is not working.

Be careful with the address they leave in this thread, never deposit any $1 for that address, it's a dead address and a scam, money never comes back, remember to pay attention to what @tabas said.
