Hi everyone!

Is there anyone here good with scripts for Dicebot?

I am in dire need of having a customised script created, but I am certainly no programmer. I know exactly what I want in the script just that I can create it myself.

Therefor I wonder if there are any kind soul willing to assist me here? I can donate $10 to paypal to the kind soul helping me out here.

Please send me a PM if you have time and skills to assist me.

Best Regards!

Hi, you can ask on this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1114503.new#new

Working fine for me, though there will be some downtime a bit later today while I update to v2 of the moneypot API

Hey All!

Since 2 yrs have passed since this question was last asked - I'm wondering if anyone knows how to run Dicebot on Mac OS? 

FYI, dotNET framework *is* now officially available for Mac OS and Linux!    However, despite installing both dotNET (1.0 and 2.0, plus all dependencies, Visual Studio, Mono, etc), I still can't quite figure out how to RUN Dicebot. Alas, setup seems fairly complicated...

Thanks in advance for any advice you guys may have!

Seuntijie is there a java/mac version of the bot? I can't be fucked to download virtualmachine just to run this but, I think it sounds pretty good. Just don't have the right OS for it

Does your balance show correctly in dicebot after you logged in?

There is quite a big difference between .net 4.5 and .net core 1 and .net core 2. While .net core is cross platform, .net is not. I had hoped that I would have been able to rewrite the logic into .net core by now, but I have not had the time.

Version 4 of DiceBot (which will likely have a new name) WILL be cross platform, but I have no ETA for it.

Hey, Seuntjie!

Thanks for your quick reply, and the update re: the upcoming cross-browser version of Dicebot! 

I look forward to checking out the new version!

Cross platform, not browser. Don't hold your breath. I'm not giving an ETA because it's likely a year+ away.

Does your balance show correctly in dicebot after you logged in?

yes, balance are right, and im connected with server right, but betting dsnt starting...

how much is maximum winning and minimal percentage allowed there?

but even in browser, online are 0 or 1 peolpe and no one is betting...


and one more thing? what means in bot "stats" - Maximum bets ? what does that shows?

[Sadsong]

You able to make a mac version or is that not kosher?
Saw some one in chat thinking about this but then heard nothing more of it.

& dice game platform is down? because moneypot is still don't finished maintenace?!

I have .db files from different versions of DiceBot. After a new version came out, I would save my old .db files and reference them later. I have a question though. Are the db files from different versions of Dicebot the same? Meaning, is there any advantage to keeping the older versions of .db separate from newer versions. Right now, I have been adding a prefix to the .db files labeling the account I used and the Dicebot version I was using. I have so many files, I am thinking of combing them into one large sqlite file for easy analysis/graphing of my profit/loss. Is there anything I should know before I go ahead and do this? After I combine all the data, is it okay to delete my original .db files?

Side note: When people upgrade their Dicebot application, there isn't a prompt telling you how to upgrade. I mean, I assume people just download the zip, extract it, and then continue. But, they don't know to go to their old Dicebot version, copy the .db file, and paste it into the new Dicebot folder. I think it would be handy to tell people to do this. By the way, is there anything else we should do to migrate our data to new Dicebot applications from here on out?

You should be able to find the max bet information on moneypots site. Max chance is 98%

That stat doesn't mean anything. Make sure you update your bot to version 3.3.8.

Moneypot is still finishing up some systems and I haven'y fully migrated the site to v2 of the bot, it's not working yet.

Please read the last 2 pages of this thread, it was being discussed just 3 posts before your question.

Yes, there are differences between the db files sometimes. Recent changes include changing the betid from an int64 to a varchar in the version DuckDice became available (3.3.3) and with either 3.3.7 or 3.3.8 (I don't remember which) the bet time column changed from date to varchar and the format the date is saved in changed as well. Before this change, sqlite could not sort the data by date correctly. If you combine them, make sure you combine them to a newer version of the file. If you are confident that you combined the files correctly, you can delete whatever you want. DiceBot will look for a dicebot.db file in the directory it's running from, if there isn't one, it creates one, if there is one, it appends to it.

It's not that important to most people, and for many people, the file gets huge. If this carried over from version to version, there would likely be people with dicebot.db files of over 1GB. This affects performance of the bot (decreases betting speed, uses more memory) as it needs to have the file open to write the bets to it. Your settings are saved in your appdata folder, only your bet data is stored in the bots folder.

Thank you, Seuntjie! You're the best. Very helpful.

hey - I have 3 questions! :

1) wich money pot app will be active to play after v2 maintenance complete, you have two apps - idk why, number #492 or #2668? but in dicebot we can connect with dice.seuntjie.com

2) is there some possibility to somehow disable all prints who was showing bot console, with some kind of commads or deleting some file, or editing some file in bot folder?! (i can't edit script and delete prints, because then script will not work fully) i dont talk about 1, 2 or 5 lines in prints every bet, but even 200+ lines printing in every bet if bot is started few seconds/minutes ago.

3) is there possibility to change priority for CPU/RAM usage for bot whatever how?! in windows10 i cant find it, years ago in win7 i had opportunity for games to do that simple in task manager, maybe there is opporunity to do that for dicebot, that he will no eat all CPU/RAM?!

waiting for answers, thanks.

1) The untitled dice app will be unavailable for a quite a while, I will need to migrate that app at some point. The dice.seuntjie.com one will hopefully be back online this weekend with at least btc bets working, depending on how much time I get to work on it.

2) Remove the prints from your script. Prints are for debugging/verbose/notifications only, they have no effect on the bet. There is no way to disable the printing completely or to disable to default prints.

3) DiceBot by itself does not use that much CPU power or memory. It sounds like your script is horribly inefficient with huge arrays/lists that does not get disposed of properly, long for loops and hundreds of print statements. Try optimizing your script a bit

I'm removed and maked that script don't shows that "big prints".

maybe for you it will be stpd question but, now there is question, how bot is reading the script?! there is difference between that i will have more collumns side by side, than one cullumn and all things in lines?! and bot will read faster if script will be less "space bars" ?

like sample:
1 = 0 2 = 0 3 = 0 4 = 0 5 = 0
vs
1 = 0
2 = 0
3 = 0
4 = 0
5 = 0
vs (less space bars)
1=0 2=0 3=0 4=0 5=0

in theory there is no difference with that for bot difficultly read the script? or is?

simple there is thing
             -    if i will run small size txt file 4kb/150command lines/rows script with no prints on yolodice with basebet 0.00000010 i will get 8bets per second rate. (even 10-11bet per second, after some script improves)
             -    if i will run the same script but full version what is txt file 256kb/10000command lines/rows without prints, on same yolodice, with same basebet 0.00000010 i will get now only 2bets per second rate.

you said that there is no difference how long is the script, bets should be the same speed/rate, but there is big difference... what you suggesting me to do to improve script for faster betting like with std/small scripts?!


edited:iv did some tests with txt files and their sizes, so yes, less spaces bars, less file size, and iv found that "enter to next line is very expensive" like simbol is 1 byte, space bare&tab is 1 byte, but "enter to next line" is 2 bytes

[HCP]

Code:

[code]It's not so much the "text" size (ie. the number of characters or spaces etc) of the script... it is what the script is actually doing.

Basically, it is like the difference between a person counting to 10 and then clicking bet... versus counting to 1,000,000 and then clicking bet. Obviously, the second option will take longer.

Having a LOT of commands (10,000 vs. 150) is like basically the same thing... it is like you're asking the bot to count to 1,000,000 which takes time (even for a bot)... so the betting speed is reduced.

Tips: 
- Try to avoid "loops" if possible. These are BIG cpu cycle killers
- Try and arrange long if-elseif blocks, so the most likely/regularly occurring situations are tested at the beginning of the block. That way you don't waste CPU cycles doing comparisons for situations that hardly ever happen.

for example:
[code]
if thingThatHappensEverySecondBet == true then
 ..
elseif thingThatHappensEveryFifthBet == true then
 ..
elseif thingThatHappensEvery20Bets == true then
 ..
elseif thingThatNeverHappens == true then
 ..
else
 ..
end

- Try not to include pointless "if" statements... don't do something like this, it needs to evaluate three If statements EVERY time through the code:

Code:

if color == red then
 ..
end
if color == blue then
 ..
end
if color == green then
 ..
end

Do something like this instead:

Code:

if color == red then
 ..
elseif color == blue then
 ..
elseif color == green then
 ..
end

This code may will only need to evaluate one if statement if the color == red, two if the color == blue and worse case scenario, three "ifs" if the color == green.[/code][/code]
