All users are REAL users on nitrodice db. This does not mean are all HUMAN users. Most of them are "testing" user. Testing speed, creation/deletion user, engine status, betting functionality etc etc.
So... what is your concern about to seeing or not other "humans" playing? How does it affect you gaming experience?
It doesn't affect my gaming experience, because it's shady, misleading and a poor practice, that makes me never want to play there in the first place. Faking volume makes your site appear more trustworthy than it is, it misleads players who might want to come 'whale watch'. It also makes it appear that you don't know what you're doing to an experienced person who doesn't realize volume is fake. It would be trivial for you to test on a private server, or make some "TEST" token that's used only for testing.
Here is a bet where a player bets 0.921
BTC (it's a fake player I assume, but test players should still follow your limits, right?) trying to win around an 18x multiplier. You've stated that your bankroll is over $100000, but for the sake of being safe, I'll assume you have quadruple that, which is equivalent to nearly 50 BTC. At a 0.5% house edge, if the bet wins, the house would lose 15.65
BTC, which is over 1/4th of your bankroll, but I'll use 1/4th for safe measure. 25% of the bankroll/0.5% house edge = 50x Kelly.
2x kelly is when the investor/house's EBG (expected bankroll growth) is basically zero, and at 50x Kelly, your EV is positive, but your bankroll is expected to go down very quickly. It shows to the math competent player that your model is flawed, and unsustainable, making it something to avoid.
If I did ignore the whole "no easily verifiable bankroll and horrible negative bankroll growth setup", and decided to play here, it would affect my gaming experience. Many people come to dice sites to socialize, in which large activity is needed to happen. A new player looking at your site would see a decently active player base with a number of whales based on the recent bet list, and the speed in which bets come in, but your chat is dead, and the whales are fake.
The community had a problem when
BetBTC.co faked stats and bets and when
FortuneJack faked stats, if that gives you any ideas into why people care.
Are you really saying that you see no problem with faking a large amount of betting volume? There are much better ways to test.
Please have a look to all comments since the beginning of the thread, all your insinuations were refuted: you can not cover winnings, your server can not support 2000+ bets minute, your website is unfinished etc.
I pointed out that something seems off with the Dicebot bets; the bet IDs made zero sense. I did some more checking, and guess what?
Bet ID 23718 is a bet made by dissenting_metaphor_6 (not enjoy_nitrodice_the_faster_dice like on your video) that bets 0.061393 BCH (not the 1 DOGE like shown on your Dicebot), it lost 0.061393 BCH (again not the 1 DOGE shown on your Dicebot), had a nonce of 1190 (not the 7517 shown on your Dicebot), and rolled 0.00997, which again, is not the 2.3718 shown on Dicebot.
I expect you to refute this by saying that the Dicebot testing was done on a separate test server, but as shown by your willingness to test betting speeds on your main server, that is unlikely, and does not help prove your point that the main server handles 2000 bets per second. You can't expect a real bettor to be willing to bet on a separate server either, as they would not have a proper record of bets, and cannot verify provably fair manually. If the bet IDs are incorrect, then you should not be publishing and selling the bot on a VPS in it's form; what good is a fast bot if the bets are unverifiable?
Here's an archive of the specific bet, for future reference. The
other bets don't make sense either! (each linked word in the last sentence is an archive of the bet record that Nitrodice shows for each bet ID I grabbed in the screenshot)
Side Note: Does anyone know of a site where you can archive YouTube videos?
I do understand you put your interest somewhere else but please stop making judgmental assertions with no evidences.
I do believe that this is just grasping at straws, but for full disclosure, not that it really matters, but I do have some BTC invested into other dice sites:
0.5
BTC - Crypto-Games.net
0.15
BTC - Bustadice
0.1
BTC - Bustabit
0.3
BTC - YOLODice
~0.06
BTC worth of BetKing tokens
You could argue that I have a financial incentive in making your site fail, which could be true to an extent. However, my share is a very small percentage compared to other investors, and even if your site were to attract 10000 BTC worth of volume in a month, assuming it all went to YOLODice, where I have the highest proportion (0.05% of the bankroll), and luck was 100%, the site would expect to gain 100 BTC in profit (1% edge), and 0.05
BTC would go me, or 0.0325
BTC in net, after YOLODice's commission (35% profits).
That's all assuming that your site manages to attract that much real volume; YOLODice has run for 5 months, and has only 19k BTC wagered in all. Primedice, arguably the most popular dice site has only had 6000 BTC wagered in the past month, give or take. So no, I do not have any incentive to smear your website. I do agree that I lacked evidence, but my post was based off of assumptions and logic. You
did admit afterwards that the volume was fake, so it's not like I was wrong. I just provided evidence that your Dicebot is either fake, or severely messed up as well, and that your business model is flawed and will bankrupt you should you attract any real whales.
How's this for quality?
You also wanted constructive criticism, so my constructive advise is:
1. Stop faking volume, either intentionally (probable) or unintentionally and move to a proper test server
2. Reassess your business strategy so that it is sustainable, and learn about the world of Bitcoin Gambling you plan on breaking into
3. Don't falsely accuse people of having other interests without proof; if you attack everyone that criticizes you, you won't have success
4. Perhaps hold more BTC so that you can have a provably and public reserve of funds
