Just restarted everything, and it looks the same still.

Yeah, it looks like a bug in the binary client. I'll look into it and get back to you. Hopefully we'll get the new bitcoinj version out soon. Thanks for testing stuff out!

No problem, I like to help where I can.

I have some problems understanding what exactely is happening when betting or placing orders. Could you help me figuring it out?

This is a bet, where I placed a 0.01 CHA bet: https://blockchain.info/tx/dd768e799afffc44a06eacb976c4a050bccc8c706232499d186bbad6a0657088?show_adv=true
There are 3 outputs:
  • 0.0001086 BTC  Escrow
  • 0.0001086 BTC  Escrow
  • 0.0001086 BTC  Back to my own account.

What exactely happens here? Do you even get the BTC back from the Escrow addresses? The strange thing is , that blockchain.info shows those funds in the escrow addresses still as balance of my main address.

What intrests me most is, if the transaction costs me 0.0001 BTC for fee, or 0.0001BTC fee and two times 0.0001086 for escrow?

Thank you ( I know that I can be annoying Cheesy )

PS: Are there plans to lower the house edge? 1 % would be better in my opinion, as most BTC-Dice casinos use 1 % houseedge.

The transaction does indeed cost you 0.0001 BTC for the fee plus 0.0001086*2 for the escrow. The escrow addresses are what the Chancecoin protocol reads from to interpret the bet. This is a bit of information that we'll have to document somewhere.

Since people are burning under the assumption that the house edge will be 2%, we can't change it easily, but it's something the community could discuss in the future.

Thank you for the information.

Right now the risk for the "site bankroll" is 1/2 kelly kriterion. If we would change the house edge to 1% we could then keep the kelly criterion constant at 1/2 Kelly by setting the max profit to 0.5% site bankroll.

How do you propose do we ask the community? because i'd rather change this soooner than later.

I'm glad we're thinking in Kelly terms.  Smiley

What does everyone think? I would consider any discussion we have here preliminary. If people want to change the house edge, we'll have to structure some kind of vote in the protocol.

Another question. There is no way to make betting cheaper? Is 0.0001086 set in stone? Is there a way to maybe only use one escrow address?

It is not clear to me how the system actually works, sorry if those questions are retarded!

I have burnt a few bitcoins from a blockchain.info address. How do I verify that CHA got credited to my address as expected?

I know some of you have been having trouble verifying balances with the wallet binaries. While we're working hard on the new bitcoinj version of the software, I published a list of balances: http://chancecoin.com/balances. I will update this list periodically. Even if you already know your balance, this is a pretty interesting list to look at!


Great. Thx for this!

So what's the total cost for every bet in total?  Somewhere between .0001 and .0003172?  Would be unfortunate if low-rollers are locked out of the action (since in addition to their bets they spread the word to other players.)

I think I'd also agree that I like 1% better than 2% to keep the rate competitive, should make up the difference in volume (and increased popularity itself would increase the coin's value as well.)

Is this coin only focused on bet? any other usage or plan? The wallet looks complicated as it requires Bitcoin wallet installed.

Yes, this coin focuses on rolling the dice , and in investing in the house bankroll.

As of now, it is a bit complicated, but the devs are working on a bitcoinj implementation, this is a java based wallet, that runs without having to download the total blockchain. Way faster and easier.

Lateron, i hope we will have a webwallet like counterparty!

Do you know that Just-dice.com is 1% house-edge and 1% max profit?  But some big whales winned a lot and make the house lose a lot.  It's a disaster for a dice site run with 1% house-edge and 1% max profit.

But as I re-think about it.  The difference is that the house of Chancecoin won't lose a bit when the player wins, because only the player's balance changes.

So, It is more safe for Chancecoin to run 1% house-edge than Just-dice.com.

So...at a technical level, how exactly will someone be able to obtain CHA by simply sending BTC to your burn address by simply "using Bitcoin wallet software"?  Is that really all that is required?  Or is the protocol actually more rigid (as it was with Counterparty), and do individuals casually sending BTC to your burn address risk losing their hard-earned BTC if they fail to meet that protocol's format requirements?  !

That's really all that is required. For interpreting burns, Chancecoin is less rigid in that it will credit CHA to the first input address as long as one of the output addresses is the burn address. So you can burn BTC into CHA using any wallet software without worrying about losing your hard-earned BTC.

Just-dice DID run on 1%/1%. now it is also 1%/0.5% , like i am proposing for this coin.

2%/1% is just too expensive to be competitive.

Two questions:

Is there a fix yet for the not resolving bets bug?

Also my 100 CHA sell offer is gone now. How long does an offer stay active per default?

Out of those 15G blockchain data downloaded by Bitcoin-Qt, I think only the part from the start of Chancecoin burning block ( less than 1% ) is used by Chancecoin. 

Can we just download blockchain data only from the Chancecoin Burning date ?
So we can have our Chancecoin initializing(download blocks) progress very fast after installation.

Maybe we can setup 2 house pools with different house-edge for Chancecoin.

This not possible because of the design of this coin. There is no "real" bankroll, but the absolute number of coins changes, so that each coin loses/gains value.
