Low Risk Dice Game For Mobile | 1% House Edge | In Beta Test Now

[icedicedavid]

Hey bitcoin investors, here is another opportunity for you to diversify your portfolio!

I have been working on a dice game designed for smart phone for the past little while (it does work on desktop too). Now it is ready for public beta on testnet. The website is similar to just-dice on how the investment works. Your investment is very liquid and you can invest and divest any time. The house edge is 1% so you will make money in the long run. The maximum profit is set to 0.5% of the bankroll, which is half of just-dice to reduce the variance, and reduces the risk on your investment.

I have decided to stay annoymous for the safety of your bitcoins that will be invested in the bankroll.

Please take a look and test out the beta site to give me suggestions for improvement! Thanks!

Its looking good and is a great idea.

A couple of UI notes: I'm having some rendering issues on an iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3) The longer pop over windows (e.g. "invest" and username) that require vertical scrolling are frequently resetting their scroll position to the top and flashing on and off making text input difficult. (e.g. when the 'learn more' option is opened under 'invest'). It may have something to do with the text crawl across the top...?

Also, the payout text field and win percentage chance text field in the middle of the screen are somewhat confusing. They are styled the same as all of the other elements on the screen yet they are the only ones that aren't active UI elements (they are read-only) which is inconsistent. Being the two biggest things right in the center of the screen, it can make the app seem broken for a new person who comes and taps them only to have nothing happen. Obviously it is a 'learn once' kind of deal, but maybe there is a design solution to those fields. Maybe don't make them look like buttons.

How does that work, exactly?

Since the bankroll is publicly known, it would be a risk to the investors if criminals can easily find out who the site operator is. For example, there was a case where a member of this forum had his house broken in just to have his asic miner stolen, so it was definitely a highly targeted heist. Just-dice has $5 Million worth of bankroll in his computer, which would make the site operator a good kidnap target for the criminals to point a gun at his head to transfer all the bitcoins to them, then run off...

Thanks for the tips, I will fix those asap

Well the solution would be to understand and implement security rather than hide behind a handle and suggest others trust your nobodiness because criminals.

What are your suggestions on ways to implement security? If people knows who I am, it would be pretty easy for them to track me down physically.

As a potential investor I'm actually not opposed to the idea of being able to track you down physically if problems occurred with my investment in you.  There's plenty of valid reasons for staying anonymous - protecting investors isn't one of them.  It's far more likely that you'll steal our funds than that someone else will.

If you don't believe me then have a read through old threads.  How many are there where the asset issuer ran off with investors' funds then nothing happened because noone knew his/her identity?  How many are there where there's a credible claim that some third party stole the funds because the asset issuer's identity was known?  Now run by us again how keeping your identity secret protects investors.

Disclosure : I issue securities and haven't disclosed my identity in public (some on the forums know it - but not because of my securities).  That has little to do with protecting investors and a lot to do with protecting myself.  Keeping my identity non-public is primarily of benefit to me, not to my investors and I'm amazed anyone would try to claim otherwise.

In your case I imagine it'd be something like not being so over the top paranoid and egocentric as to headless chicken your way into actually dangerous situations. But in general, what Deprived said.
