 Visit Satoshicarnival.co, create an account and you will automatically

withdrawals function is turned off for duration of the beta period. The
beta will last until the 10th of June, 2014, when Official
Launch will take place. (In the case that unexpected issues arise during
the Beta, we might decide to postpone the Official Launch.)


Bounty: During the Open Beta, which will run until 6/10/14, we hope
that people will extensively test our system for security problems.  A
bounty will be sent to anyone who verifiably achieves any of the following:

• Infiltrates our provably fair seeding procedure in such a way that
  they can predict outcomes of future bets, and can prove this to us.
• Penetrates our Hot Wallet and/or Database, and can show that they
  would be able to steal funds from the site or manipulate back-end data
  such that hot wallet/commissions or other data becomes incorrect.

Giveaway at Launch: We will be giving away .001 bitcoins to the first
300 accounts.  Details can be found here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=629486.0

[omahapoker]

[GoGreen™]

nice design..
User:GoGreen

[deadley]

great site, cool UI, good luck for your site

[2017orso]

Thank you for the positive comments so far.  Means a lot to hear these nice words after all of our hard work.  Christian and Wiebe are truly talented and have worked nonstop in developing this terrific experience.

The Affiliate System will be live shortly after official Launch.

EDIT:  Issue has been fixed.  Bets update at bottom in 5 second intervals.  Please also note:  The bet data is not automatically updating at bottom, we are fixing that now.

[W-M]

All right!

Hello there, everyone. Thanks a lot for all the  feedback you've given so far.

I am Wiebe, or Qqwy, and I'm the front-end developer of the site. If there's any issues, I'll be the one who happily implements and fixes it.

The issue with the bet data not updating, has been vanquished!

~W-M

[zuggu]

good luck for your site

[FanEagle]

In waiting official launch,excited about it

[RGBKey]

This looks nice, I have yet to look at the fairness but the game is unique and fun. Good job.

[2017orso]

Glad to hear it.

This is only the first game as well and was meant to be on the simpler side.

Each game will be different, and the next one will offer more intricate game play and excitement

[2017orso]

Please note:  We are currently addressing a bug and so atm you will see every result as Saturn.  Please stop betting until we correct the issue.  Thank you.

[E.Sam]

100% chance of winning on Saturn - with such odds, you're not going to be in business for long  

(got bored of winning @ Ƀ1500)

[2017orso]

As I mentioned, we are currently editing code, and as we are in beta, decided to do so and test in a live environment.

After official launch, we would be taking down the site briefly to test changes before going live.

Yes...please stop betting, they are not real bitcoins anyways and you are not really taking a chance.

[Frscott]

When's the official launch?

[Parham6]

I registered as "Parham6". How can I get the bonus?

[2017orso]

When's the official launch?

Planned for June 4th

[E.Sam]

Yes...please stop betting, they are not real bitcoins anyways and you are not really taking a chance.

Well yes Sherlock, I m aware of that. I m just testing the beta and realized that there is 100% chance to win on saturn and 0% on the other planets.
Whether it's a known bug or not (although I couldn't see anyone referring to it) I thought I would mention it in your thread.

[2017orso]

Thank you.

Was just letting you know your boredom need not continue.

We appreciate your detective work in highlighting the known and mentioned issue

[E.Sam]

Thank you.

Was just letting you know your boredom need not continue.

We appreciate your detective work in highlighting the known and mentioned issue

This thread is too small for two cynical detectives such as us, hah.
Best of luck with your site

[2017orso]

Apologize if I came off as cynical, was merely joining you in making light of the issue.

We appreciate your feedback of course.

Thank you for the warm wishes

[2017orso]

Please note:  the issue is indeed resolved.  We will be rolling back bets shortly.

And a reminder, this is why we are conducting beta.  After launch, any changes will be made and tested with the site taken offline first.

Edit

Bets have been rolled back to pre open-beta status.  All new accounts were maintained.  You can now return to betting and testing out the system

Thank you again to all who brought the issue to our attention and for your patience.

[pattimarkow]

 

Tried it out.  Looks promising.  Especially like that you can invest and can
earn a piece of the house edge.  Question:  If you invest and the house
goes negative, can you lose your investment?  I assume you can, but
am wondering whose money is lost first - yours or the investors....or a little
piece of both.

username: pattimarkow

hope i also qualify for the .01 btc to start playing when the site goes live.
When do you think you'll go live?

Hi, when you help bankroll the house you lose or gain a % that is the same as the % of the houseroll you have contributed. 

If for example the houseroll is 100, and you have bankrolled 10 of that, your roll contribution is 10%.  When the house wins, you win 10% of the winnings, when the house loses, you lose 10% of the losses.  This is constantly adjusting based on bankrolling, de-bankrolling etc.

We as the operators, keep 10% of all profits as commission.  So if you as a bankroller are up 10% from your initial bankrolling, we take 10% of that amount as commissions.  This occurs when you de-bankroll and/or once a week at the same time for the whole site of bankrollers.

[soccosocco]

amazing design

Free Giveaway - .01 real BTC during Beta to the first person who wins on M82.

We have now included an Autobet slider.  Use playmoney bitcoins to Autobet on M82, if you are the first person to win on that galaxy, you get .01 BTC to your real wallet.

This is our way of saying thank you to all who are helping to test our system

GL!

[W-M]

Besides having lots of hotkeys for most of the important features on the site, we decided to make the betting process even simpler, by creating an Auto-Betting option.

For now, it's very simple, and will just repeat your last bet over and over again every second until you turn it back off.
In the future, we will add a more sophisticated system, which you can configure to turn off after X bets, use a different betting interval, and some other features that I am not allowed to unveil just yet...

Keep up the great testing, and please tell us about any positive or negative things you stumble upon.

[yellowdog]

Hello fellow crypto enthusiasts

Hope you are enjoying this as much as we did creating it.

This is my second venture into the world of cryptocurrency besides the daily preaches to whomever  i came across about why to embrace bitcoin

I am responsible with back-end programming and together with my 2 colleagues  will try to ensure you the best experience possible.

Have fun!

[xinzark]

[rz20]

I have broken your website.

[pthnmj]

Bug Report:

I clicked (Invest with house) and it won't let me press the X to get out of the screen.

[yellowdog]

I have broken your website.

We set the time on the server to UTC and this creates some problems on frontend.

We will fix asap.

[yellowdog]

Site is on.
You have to clear your browser cache though or force a refresh cause when we set the time back 2h some bets appeared in the future.


have fun!

[W-M]

Bug Report:

I clicked (Invest with house) and it won't let me press the X to get out of the screen.

Hello pthnmj, thank you for your bug report.

The issue you were having is probably related to the problem we have just fixed. If you refresh the site using SHIFT+F5 in Chrome, Safari or Opera, or use CTRL+SHIFT+DEL to remove the browsing cache and then refresh the site using F5 in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and any other browser, you should not have any more problems.

[yellowdog]

Hello guys, i want to announce that i've won on M82, it's betid:109165

Of course the prize of 0.1 is still on as i am a member of the staff and my win does not count.


Good luck on your win on M82!!

[Jaaawsh]

Looks good, I'll have to check it out.

[W-M]

Two important updates:

• Later today, we will be installing some important updates to our server. During this procedure, which will probably take about three hours, the website will be down. More exact details will follow.
• By popular demand, we have decided that we will try to include a martingale option in the more autobet feature we're working on. Very exciting stuff!

Also, keep up the great testing and go for M82.

Thanks,

~W-M

[yellowdog]

Scheduled Server maintenance planned at 15.00 UTC.

Downtime will be between 3 and 4 hours.

Thank you all for understanding.

[yellowdog]

Server down for maintenance.
Will post when it will be up again.
Thank you.

[2017orso]

Maintenance is finished and site back online.

Indeed Christian (yellowdog) hit M82!

Of course, the Giveaways still apply -  First person to hit M82 will receive .1 BTC! (try the Autobet feature)  First 300 accounts starting in the beta and going through launch will receive .001 BTC after launch!

Thank you once again for helping us test the system.  Please continue to post any feedback you may have.

Gl and have fun.

[2017orso]

Galaxies are running very hot right now

3 Orions in 257 attempts so far.  That is ~12x greater then chance (avg = 1 in ~1100 attempts).

Try our Autobet feature on M82 for your chance to win .1 BTC, and remember, the first 300 accounts created including during the Beta period will get .001 BTC at launch.

GL!

[2017orso]

'jerry75' Just hit M82 and won .1 BTC!

Don't forget, create an account to get .001 BTC when we launch.  Check the first post for details.

[Marlo Stanfield]

I'm Jerry75 on SC, I just hit the big M82 finally. Was trying for a while. Thank god for autobet  

I've been playing the site a lot and I'm going to see how many leaderboards I can get on to before the beta is over. (And hopefully I'm this lucky when the site is live  )

Overall I enjoy the site a lot and I think it's a nice change from the usual dice game. Also, I'm really looking forward to SC adding other games to mix it up a bit.

[2017orso]

Great news!

The first graphs have been posted in the graphs tab.  There will be a variety of graphs to come, so check back often

[changedman74]

Wow o wow this site looks fun! I hope to try soon. Bonus?

[2017orso]

We will give .001 BTC to the first 300 accounts

There will be other promotions after launch as well as 2 more very cool games already being developed.

Also, the lowest house edge available at .48%!  We're happy you're excited.  We can't wait to launch!

thanks for promo.

the site is interesting but you said we're not playing for real btc...so how is the giveaway working, is it "fake" .001 btc?

[Jaaawsh]

My username is Jaaawsh, I signed up a while ago.

[Jcw188]

Ok there is going to be a problem with the site.  I was on there playing around.  I saw that a guy klein was doing autobets I think.  So I started betting a lot, pressing the button over and over to bet and bet.  My computer started getting slow, and it stopped updating the "all bets" section.  I don't think you're going to be able to show "all bets" once you start getting more traffic.  Also my laptop fan started going crazy while I was on the site betting.

[2017orso]

@ Jcw188

Wiebe will reply shortly to discuss your concerns.  Thank you for the detailed description of your experience

Giveaways

Pls see this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=629486.0 for all giveaways/promotions from now on and follow the instructions there to qualify for the .001 BTC giveaway at launch, as well as upcoming promotions.  

Do not post account names or anything else related to the giveaways in this tread.  Thank you for your understanding and be sure to check that thread often as we introduce and discuss new giveaways

Thank you

[2017orso]

We are 1 week away from official launch, some things to expect by then:

• 2fa BTC message signing w/ TOTP solutions prepared in case of demand
• Affiliation system
• 2 new and exciting games shortly after launch
• New Leaderboards layout
• More graphs

As well as updates to the front end for a smoother experience.

Thanks a lot for telling us about this problem.
This is probably caused by a small memory leak (i.e. the site will slowly eat up more and more memory from your browser).  I will do my best to resolve this issue.
I have sent you a PM asking for more details about your particular browser and computer settings that might cause this issue to surface.

Can confirm. Anytime that I was autobetting and other players came in, my browser started to choke or even crashing.
Other little things:
- autobetting listing bets only on all players tab; not under my bets
- not listing bets at all while betting
Let me know if you need more details.

[W-M]

@Kleineaap: Thanks for your reply. I will do my best to fix the issue.

There's another thing that someone reported to me: It seems that the mobile menu might not work properly on the Samsung Galaxy S4, using the Chrome browser. I would be very grateful if someone with this type of phone could test this out; to determine if this issue is be specific to their phone or not.

It works well on my iOS, good luck for the site

[W-M]

There has been a mayor update to the site. Most importantly, more Graphs have been added, and the Leaderboards section got overhauled.

And the most important feature: A big speed increase!

We also found out what caused the page freezing problem that many people experienced from time to time. This was caused by the module that made the automatic fluid timestamps. For the time being, these have been disabled, and instead the bet table now shows static timestamps.
This is of course not a permanent solution; in a few days we will introduce a new fluid time-stamping system.

Thank you for testing out our site.

Have a nice day,

~W-M

[2017orso]

UPDATE - we have postponed launch until Tuesday June 10 to ensure all 2FA functionality is working properly.

Stay tuned

[W-M]

Today, a lot has happened. we've been working for more than 12 hours straight to implement many of the features we wanted to get finished before the launch.

Here's a quick rundown of the new stuff:

• Increased form layout for phones.
• Lights-Out mode, you can toggle to a darkened site layout that's easy on the eyes.
• Multifactor Authentication using Bitcoin Address Signing.
• Multifactor Authentication using Google Authenticator.
• A working Affiliate/Referral system.

Many of these features have been requested a lot by people. Be sure to try them out!

~W-M

[2017orso]

We have also added:

Expected House profit % - the house EV %, so bankrollers can see how much the site truly should be up

Contact Info window in top menu

Also in development are Reward tiers which influence what % of losses you receive back every month as a player, and what % of your losses goes to your affiliate/referrer (you if you are the affiliate).  More details on that later

[W-M]

A final thing that has been done, is a change in the way the site loads.

It should now feel much more fluid when going to the site for the first time. Please let us know what you think of the preloader.

Loads fine and looks smooth. You guys doing a good job.
Are new games gonna be added before launch as well?

I've been following the M82, still nothing! At least I have most "bets".

[2017orso]

2 new games are currently in development, but unfortunately they won't be ready by launch on Tuesday.  We hope to have them ready within 1 month of launch.

The Reward Tiers may be ready by launch, will provide more details about that as we get closer.

Glad you're enjoying the new changes.

It is really encouraging to see a site, even before it's opened, that is working so hard to keep the customers happy and trying to change things to make it all go smoothly.  You also are very responsive on the board so no one is left wondering what is going on.  Please keep it up!

The benefits of having 3 committed partners including 2 highly knowledgeable developers.

More features to come, and we are really looking forward to launching.  Especially the 2 new and exciting games coming in a few weeks that are sure to make the chat a lively and fun place to hang out

Glad you're enjoying the site so far.  We're doing our best!

Admin, in addition to your responsiveness, which I noted was great so far, the other 2 things I can think of are security and reputation.  There have been too many sites that go down due to attacks, or have withdrawals get delayed, and that really hurts credibility of site and ends up ruining site in the long run.  Please make sure that is squared away before opening.  After that it's just making sure you stay professional, even when you come under attack, which I'm sure you will at some point.  It will take some time but after a month or two things should start picking up.  Primedice and justdice did not become huge overnight.

You're right, security and wallet activity / accounting we are taking very seriously and will continue to.

There is a lot still to do, and we hope to grow organically over time.  Reputation will just be a consequence of running a legitimate business

Thanks for your kind words so far, pillars in this industry such as JD are very important amidst the many small scam operations.  We'll do our best to follow in their footsteps.

Regards,
~ Ali

[W-M]

To add to what Ali said:

We take our service very seriously, as indeed we believe that credibility is the most important thing there is for a business, especially on the internet.

While creating our system, we've consciously tried to consider the viewpoint of an attacker. To prevent(or at least weaken) more common attacks like DDoS-ing, Certificate Forging and plain-old remote-access forcing, we use CloudFlare. Besides the added security layer of this service, it also speeds up the site considerably for visitors, as static things like images will be loaded from servers close to you.

To enhance the security for our users, we've added two methods of Multi-Factor Authentication. You can either prove that you are who you say you are by using Google Authenticator codes (which is a service that many sites provide nowadays, so you probably have the app on your phone already). For people who do not like to depend on Google, it is also possible to prove your identity by signing a message with your Bitcoin address.

Besides security we also care about anonymity. We do not ask for mail addresses. We do not use cookies (except one session cookie to keep you logged in). We don't track referrers or other shady info gathering tactics.

Our withdrawal system is automated. Of course, when the hot wallet is depleted or someone wants to withdraw a very large amount of BTC at one time, we do require manual confirmation. This is to protect ourselves as well as the users of the site for the improbable case of a security breach.

Finally I would like to comment on fairness: As we depend on people to bankroll the site, we find it very important that everyone can see and validate the bets of all other players. This is also why we offer so much stats and graphs. Transparency is important.

All right, enough talking. Of course, it's inevitable that things will happen in the future that we could not foresee. But we give it our best efforts, and try to convince people that we are caring and dedicated, and will do our best to to keep SatoshiCarnival running.


Thanks again for your thoughtful and inspiring comment, jjc326.

Sincerely,
~W-M

good design

[2017orso]

The Affiliate System and Reward System are now functional!

Login, click on the Account window, and at the bottom, you will see your referral link.  When you refer a player, you will see their name in a table below your referral link, as well as their Reward Tier, and their accumulated Rewards.  This system will replace the Lottery offer mentioned earlier. (FAQ and upcoming T&C to be amended)

The Affiliate/Reward system will function as follows:

.1% of all players losses (10% of our commissions, this does not effect Bankroller revenue in any way!) will be re-distributed to Affiliates and Players according to the following schedule.  All payments are made once a month, at the beginning of the following month and will be placed directly into player accounts from our commissions.  All achieved Reward Tiers apply to the upcoming month as well (if you achieve Jester you will receive Rewards as Jester the following month as well).  If wagering requirements aren't met, the Player will drop down to the Reward Tier according to the Wagered amount of the current month (if you are Jester current month but only wager enough for Harlequin, you will start the next month as Harlequin).  The Player must lose at least .1 BTC in the current month for them and/or the Affiliate to qualify for Rewards that month.  Full details will be made available in the FAQ and T&C by launch.  But we're too excited to keep this info private, so here is the breakdown.

Tier 0 - Greenhorn:  .1% of player losses to Affiliate

Tier 1 - Harlequin (>=500 BTC wagered):  .01% of player losses back to player, .09% of player losses to Affiliate

Tier 2 - Jester (>=10000 BTC wagered):  .025% of player losses back to player, .075% of player loses to Affiliate

Tier 3 - Magician (>=100000 BTC wagered):  .05% of players losses back to player, .05% of player losses to Affiliate

This system is still a bit rough, and there will be finishing touches before and after launch.  The tracking system and accounting all work however.

Affiliates and Players will both begin earning as soon as we launch!

*  We are on schedule to Launch on Tuesday June 10th at 10am ET.  Full Launch schedule coming.

[chaosPT]

Cant wait for your Launch and play on your site , all the best !

[2017orso]

Thanks for reminding, also the Bitcoin address signing feature is awesome. It is more secure than Google 2FA imho.
Hope it brings good return

Everything seems to working very well, except for the emergency address 2FA and password retrieval which will be corrected tomorrow.  GA 2FA is working fine.

Almost 50k bets so far (admittedly many of those are myself)

Players are running quite well so far, as the House Luck is currently at 93.1%

All in all, it has a been a successful launch, thanks to all of those who supported us on our first day, this is only the beginning.

[Marlo Stanfield]

It seems I have some serious competition for the leaderboards now. Btcx2 is killing it on every planet. I can't believe he hit Orion(~1000 to 1 shot) 6 times already!

It seems I have some serious competition for the leaderboards now. Btcx2 is killing it on every planet. I can't believe he hit Orion(~1000 to 1 shot) 6 times already!

Indeed btcx2 is doing quite well

He has hit Orion 6 out of 4313 guesses = .139% of trials

That is .00139 / .0009891 = 140% greater then chance!

The House Luck is currently at 98.91%  Up ~ 5% from when I posted that it was really low about 12 hours ago.

Great start for players so far, the house may have something to say about that soon, the battle moves into day 2

I'll never get tired of saying it, Wiebe and Christian are wizards.  The speed at which they develop and troubleshoot is incredible.

Completed first move to cold wallet using our admin today, everything works perfectly.  It is now ~80/20 and will maintain that ratio from here.

Here is the admin page which allows for the sending to cold wallet as well as other important functions:

Hey, good work on the index.

Glad you like the site, we are now almost 48 hours into launch and have already implemented several fixes etc.  Much more to come in terms of features, especially games, but the site is working wonderfully now.

Please consider that out of the 141000 bets shown, I personally account for 97000 of those wagers, during my quest for M82.

Regardless, we'll get there in time nonetheless as we continue our organic growth.

Regards,
Ali

[2017orso]

Upcoming Features:

• On-site Faucet

• New multiplayer game with 2.5% house edge

Good idea.  We ran one during beta and it was hit rather quickly.

We will post something soon in giveaways as well as other marketing features.  

Thanks.

And happy betting on Moon, .48% house edge isn't so bad is it

M82 is 2.3% house edge so bankrollers would def appreciate many bets going on there.

There are some new updates!

• Persistent settings: Things like changing the Site Layout to the Lights Out mode will stay as you put them when you come back later.
• Speed Increase: There have been a few bug-fixes related to slowness. On most computers, the loading speed and memory usage should have been reduced.

Great to hear

And, congratulations on becoming our first > 1btc bankroller with your 2.x btc contribution to the houseroll.

You picked a good time, we're still significantly lower then the expected house profit, and house luck is still quite low. 

Good luck

I really like this game but I would like it better if you didn't always win but could hit any planet. That would make it a lot more exciting IMO

[Bubbles06]

I really like this game but I would like it better if you didn't always win but could hit any planet. That would make it a lot more exciting IMO

Maybe they could add in a new bet in addition to the regular ones? Like a rocket ship or something that either takes off and crashes or goes to the moon or higher depending on what you roll? The odds would have be be completely different than the regular bets obviously but it might work.

[2017orso]

I really like this game but I would like it better if you didn't always win but could hit any planet. That would make it a lot more exciting IMO

We could look into something like what you and bubbles suggested soon thanks for the ideas.  We toyed with a rocketship idea originally, we didn't consider including both concepts, another rocketship bet would be a cool bonus bet indeed.

In the meantime we are working on the following which Wiebe can explain more in-depth later when we are nearing completion:

• 2 types of Faucets giving free satoshis at short intervals
• long-polling to reduce the choppiness some ppl experience
• ease of access - straight to site when visiting, auto account creation, 0 confirmation deposit, deposit straight to bankroll etc

of course, we also have another game planned that we are eager to develop as well.  It will be a multiplayer game, very simple but exciting and a variation on a classic gambling game.

[2017orso]

Faucet will be live either tonight or tomorrow morning, details coming soon!

Just in time for the martingaling action heating up, omahapoker (cryptobetting) is kicking up the action.  btcX2 is also getting in there.


Houseroll is slowly moving now.  > 10 BTC
Also just balanced the cold/hot last night.  The cold address and hot wallet value will be visible on site soon.  Until then - https://blockchain.info/address/14zdxHCJKe6hedZmER7k2xYj8R6htY7SRB

Site is Awesome!! and lucky for me as well, I have so far gained 0.002 and withdrew them as well and had no problems what so ever, withdrawals especially are very fast because of 20k miner fee.

Busy with some personal stuff, can't wait to get back there and start winning again.

You may experience Cloudflare geolocation issues in your area.  We believe that is an issue on Cloudflare's end.

Otherwise, everything is running fine.

If you have any specific issues or questions please let us know.

Happy planet hunting.  

[2017orso]

Quick note to those who experience choppiness and lag on our site.  

Christian and Wiebe are working on instituting long-polling to correct this issue.  It is a site-wide change and will take some time.

In the meantime, try using Chrome, as that seems to work for most visitors.  Firefox is the most susceptible to the lag issues.

This issue is only temporary, and you will soon get to enjoy us lag-free, don't give up on us

Thanks for your patience as we continue to develop and progress.

just made a tweet about your site


https://twitter.com/CryptoBetting

ok, tonight im going try my system with larger bankroll. yesterday i was grinding all day to see how outcomes were.





so far i like the site. only issue so far is when investing 0.01 is min. which is fine.

But i invested 0.01btc and after 3 days i wanted to take it out and says i have to 0.01 to withdraw. i had 0.009675

so i said ok ill add 0.001 to invest from my balence then i can cash out.i couldnt do it.


so had to go grab 0.01 from my btc wallet wait 10min. then i got invest out


after a person makes 0.01 in invest you should let played add any amount after that.


for me playing sometimes when i'm up i like to put 10% away(invest) wheni reach certain levels

Minimum investment is 0.01BTC!


then when i cashed out is says says


Minimum divestment is 0.01BTC!

[2017orso]

Alright thanks for clarifying.

We need the bankrolling minimums for now as that allows our backend houseroll accounting to function correctly.  Perhaps an adjustment can be made at a future date.

The house profit is also approaching even for the first time since we launched last Wednesday!  Those who bankrolled recently have earned a nice % so far

the opening post says house edge is from  .48% -> 2.3%

how does it work? Do high bets have more or less house edge? Or does playing more get better edges as a sort of 'thank you for playing with us'?

[2017orso]

the opening post says house edge is from  .48% -> 2.3%

how does it work? Do high bets have more or less house edge? Or does playing more get better edges as a sort of 'thank you for playing with us'?

Good question.

Indeed each planet/galaxy has a different house edge.  'Moon' has the lowest at .48% house edge.  'M82' has the highest at 2.3% house edge.

As the house edge increases the odds of that option showing decrease, but the payouts increase.  'Moon' pays out 2.031x, 'M82' pays out 1085001x!  The house edge also influences the 'Maxbet' and 'Maxprofit'.

Planets use a 1/4 kelly crit, while galaxies uphold a 1/2 kelly.  

This means that the 'Maxprofit' per bet on 'Moon' is 1/4*.48%  =~.12% of the houseroll.  A conservative approach that was meant to provide lower risk of ruin for bankrollers while allowing high rollers to engage in .48% house edge.

'M82' 'Maxprofit' is 1/2*2.3% = ~1.15% of the house roll per bet.  While they may seem aggressive, the odds of hitting 'M82' are 1 in 1,111,111.111 rolls (1/.00009%).  So essentially it functions as more of a jackpot.  The other galaxies pay out ~1000x and ~100x (Orion and Andromeda)

Something came up and I had to go outside for a minute and totally forgot that I was autobetting moon, haha.

I wonder how high my balance got before I wiped out.

[zimmah]

Haha that's pretty funny bubbles, hope you didn't lose too much on it.

@2017orso wow that's really neat actually, so you can choose your own edge basically. Interesting concept to try out.

I'll let you know when i have any other questions.

I'm not sure how high it was but do recall seeing you have a good streak for a while there

We'll implement more customization for the autobet feature later on so you don't have to autobet forever next time

You could also add a filter option to display only bet > 0.xxx BTC like Just Dice had.

Nice site, a bit heavy on the display load. Could be simplified.

Oh ok.  Wrt the slow scrolling, long-polling the bet data table should improve things quite a bit.

Filters to the bet table and ability to search own bets based on parameters will come in time.  Thanks for the input

[ChiliPowder]

I agree I have a fairly decent PC, It may be browser but sometimes its pretty painfull and maybe un playable.

It used to be faster but maybe as the player base grows its bogging downa  bit.


To the guys that invested, how are you doing so far profit wise? If I am allowed to ask this.

Since im having a bit of trouble playing I may just invest so BTC.

[FFrost]

Just signed up but Where's the faucet?

[zimmah]

Just signed up but Where's the faucet?

If you go the the chat, every 10 minutes where you chat you get 100 satoshi and if you make a bet you get 1000 every 10 minutes.

Good luck

[Bubbles06]

Haha that's pretty funny bubbles, hope you didn't lose too much on it.

@2017orso wow that's really neat actually, so you can choose your own edge basically. Interesting concept to try out.

I'll let you know when i have any other questions.

Didn't lose too much at all. I remember I only started with 25 of whatever the min bet on moon is.

Could have gone either way too. I could have came back to 100 bets or something

hello ChiliPowder. We are working very hard to increase the site performance. Right now we're working on a new way to load the bet tables, which is indeed the part of the site that is affecting performance the most right now, especially with our growing playerbase.

Expect an update that greatly improves performance in the next couple of days.

Hi Chili, I hope the lag issues can resolved for you soon.  I know Wiebe and Christian have been working diligently to fix those issues for us all.

I was our first bankroller, the house immediately incurred some relatively significant losses and I am almost at even.  It has been growing well since then though, so it's really a matter of when the person bankrolled.

The absolute profit amount is still low so one maxbettor can swing things dramatically one way or the other now until we attract more big players.  The expected profit is averaging to a level am quite happy with at ~.65% so far so that's cool to see.

[2017orso]

Just signed up but Where's the faucet?

The faucet releases 100 satoshis to 10 chatters randomly and 1000 satoshis to 5 bettors randomly from a pool of bettors who wagered at least 500 satoshis worth every 10 minutes.  You can qualify for both.

for more details on that and to keep up with our giveaways see here:

Oh cool, i never noticed t was random because there's not often that many betters and chatter online simultaneously.

you guys are up to #35 on top 100

awesome, thanks omahapoker, we'll have our logo on there soon enough, will reach out to you shortly about that.

keep up the great work with your site, very cool.

[zimmah]

maybe the list should also show most recent bets, for example bets in the past week.

some of the big websites are down or have lost a lot of their popularity.


also, satoshicarnaval does not show up on the specialzed list yet, such as http://cryptobettingindex.com/top-usd-wagered/ and http://cryptobettingindex.com/bitcoin/

[21pilot]

house profit = -12.85 %  ?

Some guy managed to win big or is this some kind of glitch/display error?

[zimmah]

No, it's real, they went from +0.6 to to -4.5 bitcoin in a few hours.

4 guys won big, 3 of them each about 0.9 bitcoin and one 2.5 bitcoin or so.

[IamNotSure]

Site is cool, but you really should make a design inspired by JustDice / PrimeDice because at the moment the design is a bit amateurish.

Is there a limit based on the bankroll ? Because if the big wins hammers the bankroll, investors might flee the bank

[zimmah]

The website looks like that by design although i'm pretty sure the layout will be updated.

The limits are 1/2 kelly for M82 and Orion and 1/4 kelly for everything else.

Even though they had a lot of variance lately.

Are you covering all 5.6BTC?

Hi,

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to or when you suggested this would happen?  You knew about our vulnerability?  Were you a member at our site?

Were you always following our thread or were you waiting for me to reply, how did you know about our vulnerability please and why didn't you mention it previously?  I have never seen you in this thread before.

If it is a cold wallet request you can cancel it yes or I can cancel it for you after we re-launch.

For the time being we are not touching the wallets or their administration in any way until the site is back online.

good thing you noticed that in time, i already thought something like that. As it was pretty curious to see some people almost always winning.

I have noticed it earlier as well, but not on such a large scale.

This also explains why i often saw players always winning when they bet large amounts and only losing 10 satoshis on a bet when they lost (i even thought in my head wow, it's just like they predict WHEN they win)


at first i was just like well, maybe they are just crazy lucky, but when the bankroll started to dwindle by several bitcoins in an hour i started getting worried about compromised security.

You have a keen eye then.

It's a slipperyslope attempting to attach patterns to the arbitrary manifestations of true randomness, and we didn't want to bar honest players from simply winning.

Moving forward however, we will have more safety measures in place to block and ban accounts as well we won't hesitate to turn off betting in the case of suspicious activity.

[zimmah]

thanks for taking this very swift and professional approach, if anything this event shows how trustworthy and professional the staff really is, and it made the website more secure.

We are lucky to have it happen now rather than later. A loss of 7 or 8 bitcoin or so, while sad, is not a disaster. If it were to happen later and hundreds, if not thousands of bitcoins would be stolen, it would have been a disaster.

I fully trust Ali, Wiebe and Christiaan and their story is not fake, i can verify the story, I had nothing to do with the stolen bitcoin but i know that it is possible to predict the seeds by manipulating them in the way as described.

I already noticed the flaw myself before the admins did however i did not recognize it as a flaw, only after it happened i realized it in retrospect. If i would have realized it sooner i would have told them. I will keep an eye on any future flaws, however the current solution seems to have no flaws as far as i can tell. And as i said before i indeed noticed strange betting patterns, however back than i wrote them of as luck.

But i can, in retrospect, guarantee that i have seen some people covering up bets even days ago, by winning all their bets but waiting for other gamblers to make 100 bets or so to cover up that they always won (but i still noticed, and just thought they were very lucky, even though i thought it was strange they stopped betting for 15 minutes or so just to win a bet 15 minutes later and repeat over a period of several hours).

It would look a bit like this:

Code:

Gambler A won 0.0100
Gambler B lost 0.00000001
Gambler B lost 0.00000001
Gambler B lost 0.00000001

I still can't believe this happened   some people are just POS that have to screw everything up for the rest of us. I'm glad the staff has acted professionally though. Now all we can do is wait for the site to come back up..

Thanks for your support zimmah, you're a pleasure to have here and in chat.

Please bear in mind though, this exploit would not have allowed anyone to 'always win'.  What they were able to do, was ensure a win on every 10th roll.

A list of the suspected account names will be made public soon.

EDIT:  I see I may have misrepresented what you were saying as you now provided an accurate representation of the exploitation's betting string.

[zimmah]

Yes, that would explain why someone would make 9 small bets and then suddenly a very large bet and win.

I have seen that happen a lot too.

I will still support you with my investments and other kinds of support.

You are in my opinion the #1 gambling site and you are very professional.

I am glad i have found you guys, I am sorry for your loss, but I'm sure you will make it back reasonably quickly.

When i saw some people with a lot of luck i started to look out of curiosity if they used martingale or flat bets, i also tried to chat with them but they usually did not reply to me. Then i noticed a strange betting pattern as well, in which they often bet minimum amount but every now and than they would bet maximum and win, every single time. I'm sorry for not telling you about it sooner but i just didn't want to blame potentially honest players, especially because i am an investor i did not want to look like a greed who can't take a loss. I don't mind losing some of my investment to fair players, that's part of the game. But when +2.5% profit turns to -20% in a flash there's something fishy.

and i was thinking this morning before i went to work "who the fuck was that lucky and won > 5 BTC"

Same here.. I thought, "there is no way someone won that much playing honest in just a few hours(based on history and max bet levels)" and unfortunately we were right.

I hope the site is back up soon  

[zimmah]

By the way, I just wanted to let you know it's not possible for me to log in from ipad because of I can not paste the signed message from 2FA in the box. When I try to click on the box the keyboard from my ipad will block the view of the box and I am unable to click it.

[LtPaxIV]

unfortunatly i did leave on autobet the whole night,so maybe im the player B zimmah reffered to

[2017orso]

Okay,

we will not be re-launching the site for play today.  We want to test the new hashing further and implement other automatic protections against suspicious house losses and withdrawals before allowing play again.

I will process withdrawals now to whomever would like them however.  What I need is for you to PM me here on bitcointalk and provide the following info on your Satoshicarnival account:

account name
deposit address
ebtc address
a withdrawal address if different then your ebtc address
the amount you would like to withdraw

If you cannot provide all of this information, you will have to wait until we are back online tomorrow to initiative your withdrawal.

Thank you

It has been a long day and I will only be up for another couple hours processing withdrawals if anyone would like one now.  Have had only one request so far.

Will return to processing them tomorrow morning or you can wait until we are back online as well.  We should be back up and running some time tomorrow.

Thanks.

[Gc24]

Today I was off because i had to do an exam!
I CANNOT BELIEVE IN THAT!
I'm so sorry, because last night I was betting until late...but i didn't notice anything (I bet with "leaderboard" tab open, because I have some issue and lagging if I have "all bets" tab opened! So i did not pay attention on suspicious betting!!)
Cryptolemming we are with you! Stupid lamers....

[zimmah]

unfortunatly i did leave on autobet the whole night,so maybe im the player B zimmah reffered to

Autobetting does not make you a scammer. (But it can help scammers hide behind you because they can hide their wins and suspicious bets in between a lot of fast bets).

But feel free to auto bet any time, the problem has been solved and we will still keep a look for any suspicious behavior, auto betting is not suspicious in any way.

Although using HMAC would not have prevented this specific issue from happening, Cristian and I are looking into other ways to strengthen our hashing algorithm. We will seriously consider implementing HMAC-based hashing.

[2017orso]

Update 6/28/14

Changes you will notice at re-launch

• New hashing algorithm - hmac sha512
• 15% commissions
• Current bankroller reimbursements as a result of these recent events will be increased by 10% so they receive 1.1x their incurred losses over time
• IP logging
• Admin manual suspension of individual accounts including betting as well as withdrawing
• Roll back of bets to point previous the crisis including bankroller commissions

Changes still to come at some point after the re-launch

• Auto kill-switches of betting and withdrawals at x% thresholds within y time intervals
• Our regularly scheduled lag-related modifications and other features such as ease of visitor access, a visual faucet lottery system, new game etc

Why 15% commissions?

• 3 partners working diligently to provide a secure and enjoyable experience with many features available and still to come
• Many new games incoming, all of which will be 2.5% house edge
• A lot of marketing planned to come
• Expected house profit of ~.65% which will increase greatly when new games arrive at 2.5% house edge and a higher minimum bet then the current game

Why HMAC sha512?

We have changed to the new standard method of hashing, namely HMAC sha512, we are confident it is the proper encryption solution for our purposes.

We will be re-launching at some point today ET, perhaps even UTC, will keep you all up to date.  

Thank you.

EDIT - We will also be implementing a 90%/10% cold/hot wallet split.  In our opinion, this is a better balance between security and instant withdrawals and our members should not notice much difference as a result of this augmented security measure.

[zimmah]

Seem to be good updates in general, but i'm not too sure about the 2.5% house edge / 20% commission.

That is basically punishing future gamblers and investors for the loss in the past.

I know you want to make profit, but it's better to not overdo it, or you will not get many gamblers on these games.

I'd suggest 15% commission and 1.5~2% house edge on the other games, with maybe some exceptions for games that have a high amount of variance in order to reduce risk.

It's better to have profit build up over time by growing a large userbase that will come back regularly rather than trying to take a quick profit. With some patience this website could become bigger than JD ever was if you just keep focused.

Maybe you could also have a little higher commission for a while to cover the losses and extra advertising, but once the website gained in popularity and advertising is less critical you could award the long term investors with a slightly lower commission based on how long they have been investing.

The house edges planned were already at that value.  The future games are not dice games and are much different experiences.

The commissions will be more the made up for with the increased enjoyment, play and revenues to come.

We have no doubt bankrollers will experience significant returns in time, this will show itself to be true on its own.

[zimmah]

Well, i hope so.

But it would be nice gesture to support the bankrollers (and maybe players as well) who show their support even after these events.

[2017orso]

Well, i hope so.

But it would be nice gesture to support the bankrollers (and maybe players as well) who show their support even after these events.

We are by re-launching with a much more secure and strengthened platform with many enjoyable and profitable experiences to come.

This event should only increase the confidence and optimism in our potential and offering.  

Thank you and to others for your support.  We will continue to show a level of dedication and development to reward all players and bankrollers for joining us in this quest to be the #1 bitcoin gambling venue.

The increased commissions will also allow for more site magnets such as generous facet system, more marketing especially around new games, and other rewards.

Again, we believe bankrollers will experience returns they will be pleased with one year from now.

[zimmah]

Well, i think the profits will still be fine, but 20% is still a rather large commission in my opinion.

I hope that you will at least reduce it a little for investors who stick with you for the long term. (for example -1% commission per year that you are an investor with a minimum of 10% (or 5%) commission or so).

That way you also reward the persons who have been with you through good and bad times, instead of rewarding everyone equally, even if they just join when things are going well and leave you at times you need them most.

It's ultimately your decision, but i'm just venting my opinion.

[2017orso]

We will be implementing the following commissions changes at re-launch, which is likely to occur within a few hours:

• House commissions will change to 15%
• Current bankroller reimbursements will increase by 10% so the amount received over time will be 1.1x the current losses incurred as a result of these recent events

Down the road, as we begin to release more games with higher house edges, increased minimum bets, other great features and the marketing surrounding them, we will re-consider the commissions % at that time.

The more relevant statistic for bankrollers is ROI over time.  This statistic is not only a reflection of the house commissions.  It is in fact the culmination of many factors, one of which is the house commissions. 

We feel that bankrollers will have significant ROI potential on our site, as it currently is, and even moreso as it develops.  Of course that is a decision bankrollers will have to make for themselves.  Please remember to never risk more then you can afford to lose either as a bankroller or as a player.

Thank you, expect us to be re-launched within a few hours.

[zimmah]

Thank you, looking forward to it.

Have tried to refresh for a while now but no luck still

[2017orso]

Okay, after 2 long days, we are back online!

All bankrollers who incurred losses from the incident will have their reimbursement information posted in their wallet window first thing tomorrow.

If there are any issues at any time, please post them either here or email us as we cannot promise seeing all the chat information.

That's it.

Good luck, have fun, and happy planet hunting!

[zimmah]

Thanks all for fixing it so quickly and professionally.

I am glad the site is back on track.

[W-M]

As for the new method we calculate our hashes:

We now use the HMAC-variant of SHA-512.



The new way the bet result is calculated:

Code:

$message=$nonce.":".$player_seed.":".$nonce;
$secret=$nonce.":".$server_seed.":".$nonce;

$hash=hash_hmac('sha512',$message,$secret);


$hash=substr($hash, 0, 7); 
$number=hexdec($hash);
$roll=1+$number%$dice_faces;
return $roll;

To prove that the new system works well, you can compare our resulting hashes with an external system such as https://www.freeformatter.com/hmac-generator.html.

New documentation in our FAQ and a more readable fairness section in our bet details window will follow in the next couple of days.


~W-M

[CryptoKilla]

Glad to see you back online! I wish you all nothing but the best

[2017orso]

4CF803EFC1ED our hot wallet withdrawals were turned off.  They are now back on please try your withdrawal again and it will go through instantly.

Thank you

[zimmah]

It seems the activity is still similar to what it was before the downtime, that is nice to see.

[CryptoKilla]

It seems the activity is still similar to what it was before the downtime, that is nice to see.

Yeah it seems so which is nice. I also noticed the house roll has been growing too!

[zimmah]

4 more players and they'll be at 300 already

[2017orso]

We instituted an automatic kill-switch:

Every bet will now consider two pieces of information, the highest value our house profit has ever been, and the current house profit.  When the difference between those two parameters is > the assigned threshold bets are turned off.

That threshold is currently set at 2btc.

This is essentially a trailing stop-loss which is recalculated every single bet, which means if there is ever a vulnerability or hack of some sort the perpetrator would not be able to run a bot or a script with multiple accounts to violate our roll within a short period of time.  Time is irrelevant in this solution.

Good luck, have fun and be confident we are extremely secure.

This functionality, hmac sha512, a terrific provably fair system, 90/10 cold/hot wallet split minimum, IP address logging, manual account bans and bet/withdrawal kill switches, 3 dedicated partners and other factors now truly make us the most secure bitcoin casino out there.

I don't notice a difference.

If you do, we'll take a look at it tomorrow.

The planned long-polling and general lag solutions will be implemented some time this week anyways and should make a significant difference.

[zimmah]

Yes, yesterday the site was pretty laggy and I had to refresh several times because it just got stuck.

I hope your update later this week will fix it.

so does it mean if profit goes up/down 2 btc bets will stop,or did i understand this wrong?

[LtPaxIV]

Yes, yesterday the site was pretty laggy and I had to refresh several times because it just got stuck.

I hope your update later this week will fix it.

same problem here.

also i noticed that,the more bets i make,the more resources (RAM wise) firefox does need.could it be because of the animation u see if u win andromeda/orion? also it would be nice to have posibillity to switch this animation off.

The animation is part of it but we believe the bet data method is the real culprit atm.  Again, we will be changing that soon just got a little held up with our incident over the weekend.  The lag will be fixed soon.  Thanks for all your updates.

[LtPaxIV]

very nice. also could it be that the "my bets" list is endless,untill i refresh the browser? i was thinking maybe thats what my browser doesnt like so much

By the way, it would be nice if you could add the option to turn certain sounds off while leaving others on. Specifically I would like to hear a sound when I hit something, but I don't like the sound for every bet (even someone else's bet, and the sound when I move my mouse over the playing field). Right now the sound is 'all or nothing' but it would be nice to be more customized.

[2017orso]

What games are you planning on adding?

What games are you planning on adding?

To be announced

Can say next game is likely a multiplayer variant on a traditional casino game amped up for the Carnival and will add a lot of excitement to our growing community

Before that however we have much to do.  Including a surprise added feature to this game after we sort out the lag issues.

[zimmah]

sounds fun, the first game is already lots of fun, maybe the second game will be even better still.

can't wait to try it.

[2017orso]

Quick Update and What's to come

First reimbursements payment going out soon, relevant bankrollers will see this reflected in their WALLET window by then.

We are fixing the lag issues either today or tomorrow.

Afterwards, we will be adding another element to this game, the ability to set your own chance of winning with a fun new feature.

Thanks for your support, many betting now and everything operating even better then before.  

Happy planet hunting

[LtPaxIV]

All great news once again, thanks.

You guys rock

[2017orso]

The houseroll got a big boost last night and can handle reasonable-size maxbets now.

We are focusing our efforts on attracting you players.  Here are some upcoming features that will ensure your experiences here are much, much better then competitors:

Players / Visitors

• Upcoming bet slider option to set your own odds - if you want to bet BTC10 on a 95% chance of winning, you will be able to
• The variable house edge enjoyed currently will still be in effect in the bet slider option as well!  This means you will be able to bet the above with a much smaller house edge then the competition, we think that's very cool and important for you
• Ease of access - visitors will have a name auto-generated for them so they don't have to register to start trying out the site
• Cool faucet lottery modifications and other promos

Marketing

• As the modifications above progress, we will be marketing more heavily, through social networking and ad-space on websites
• Affiliates can discuss special rates with us for > the normal 1% losses as revenue

All of the above will be completed as soon as the lag issues are fixed, Christian and Wiebe are working to solve those by instituting long-polling to the bet data and possibly animation adjustments.

The community is growing and we are becoming more robust by the day.  

We really believe this game alone is and will be the best dice game out there, enjoyable and fast, and with a smaller house edge then anywhere else.  The games to come after will be even more interesting.  

Drop by the chat and give us your thoughts, we'd love to hear from any and all players.

Happy planet hunting

[zimmah]

Looking forward to it.

I wonder how it will work, but I guess you have that all planned out.

Good news! I've been sick for a few days, but I finally felt better and resumed my work on SatoshiCarnival.


Something amazing happened...
With Cristian and me finishing Long-Polling for the bet results, and changing the way the game is rendered, the site has received an enormous speed boost!
The site finally is as fluid as we intended it to be, and should work fine on all computers now, even older ones.


I urge anyone who was complaining about lag to try out the site again. You should not have any issues at all.


On a side note: Investors who were hit by the malicious attack on 7-3-2014, will now see detailed information about how much they lost and how much we still need to repay.



It's an exciting time on SatoshiCarnival. Please come and check us out.

Bankroll History



On 06/27/2014, SatoshiCarnival was attacked. You are one of the bankrollers who unfortunately lost some money during this attack. (Official Statement)
The house repays these losses over time.

Money you lost:  0.05343879

Money repaid:  0.00000000

Nice, that seems to be about right.

Thank you.

[2017orso]

Thanks zimmah for posting that.  The information in the window has been updated to better reflect the situation.  First reimbursement payment to go out Monday.

We are 1 week away from releasing the custom slider in To-the-Moon before development of the next game progresses.

Houseroll is now at BTC75 and the maxbets growing. 

Happy planet hunting

Reimbursements going out tomorrow ET, all affected bankrollers please check your WALLET for updates.

In light of the unfortunate Prcdice situation would like to remind everyone of a couple important things:

• We now use HMAC sha-512, our provably fair as well as hashing are extremely sound
• We now employ an automatic trailing stop loss which functions by having every single bet acknowledge the absolute house profit value.  Any time that value is x greater than the current house profit value, the betting and withdrawals automatically shut off.  x currently = 2btc
• We now have the ability to manually stop betting and withdrawals for individual accounts as well as to suspend accounts inc IPs

We are serious about trying to be the fairest and most secure bitcoin gambling outlet.  Only by achieving that to a satisfactory level can we focus our efforts on releasing truly creative and enjoyable games.

No, that wasn't said or implied.  I suppose inherent biases can influence any material if you wish to interpret what was written negatively.

What was written,  is that we have precautions in place to protect all our members, both players and bankrollers, and ourselves.

If you don't have experience with online gaming operators, or any gaming operators for that matter including brick & mortar, these are protections that some operators use nefariously, those operators don't end up lasting long or succeeding beyond a certain point.  We intend to last long and succeed.

In time, as situations arise that threaten individual members, they will appreciate our safeguards.  Also, the trailing stop loss will be increased as we progress, of course.

if someone finds an exploit in the website it's their duty to report it and not to exploit it.

If you find an exploit in your banks security and hack their servers and steal a million from the bank, do you think the bank will say 'congratulations on on your million dollars' or do you think they will send the FBI and CIA and get you in jail?

If you win big by chance, than of course you can keep it, but the last time it was due to an exploit and they were intentionally attacking the website. Which is basically theft.

[2017orso]

To add to zimmah's astute post.

We have an onus to players to ensure their legitimate winnings are promptly paid and that our engine operates as outlined, and to uphold our T&C.

We have an onus to bankrollers to ensure their funds are safe, and any illegitimate winnings which violate our T&C are barred from leaving our casino.  In the case the perpetrator manages to do just that, we have a responsibility to reimburse the bankrollers.

We do not have any responsibility to protect perpetrators that seek to violate our T&C.  In fact, our duty is to thwart them from doing just that by any means possible.  Fortunately for our honest members, we have many terrific ways of doing just that.

To clarify further about the trailing stop loss, this is not meant to cap legitimate winnings.  It just gives us a brief opportunity to ensure all play is indeed fair.  At which point we will not hesitate to re-start the betting and withdrawals for further fair play.  We generate revenue on every single bet that takes place on average.  Sometimes members run hot and can win big fairly, that is very welcome and we would be happy to process any such withdrawals promptly.

Or maybe the owners should pay for a pen-test prior for a real developer to assess their site and not just do a 2 week test to allow someone else pen-test the site prior to actually getting funds on it.  But the owner told he felt confident in his and his partner skills when I warned him of possible attacks.

Every site can get hacked, and a lot has, its how you deal with it.  Now Satoshicarnival has a payback plan for investors and while that is great if I was an investor I would be demanding that the ownership pays back my investment out of their own pockets now, and if they want to increase commissions so they could payback them selves I would be okay with it.

Indeed, any site can be attacked, big to small, from government run defense laboratories controlling the most dangerous of materials, to small teams progressing with their bitcoin casino project. 

We have real developers and will continue to do our best, thanks for your concern

[2017orso]

A reminder to all, please only utilize coins that you can afford to lose as a member of our site, either as a bankroller or player.

While we will always do our best to be fair and secure, there are no certainties in this realm and gambling is risky.  We have designed a lot of transparency to help assure ourselves and our members of that fairness.

The ultimate goal is to offer cool and fun games.  Our bankroll is still open to bankrollers, but the total wagered at the moment is quite low relative to the current houseroll level.  We will be increasing our efforts to attract more players to try our very enjoyable first game, which will get a cool modification very soon.

Players tired of traditional dice games will find us that more much refreshing, and are invited to join our growing and friendly community.  In time, our hope is that there will be many exciting games to play.

All bitcoin businesses are pioneers, and bitcoin players are gambling pioneers.  We are all helping to move things forward while having fun. 

[ChiliPowder]

Investing in this site is a joke.

The best part is they are starting reimbursments

Money you lost: 0.00353189
Money repaid:    0.00003100

That is going to take a lifetime to get back allthough a small ammount I feel bad for the guys with 1BTC+ in this.

there are never more than 9 players online at a time and your lucky to see a bet over 0.00002500.

The majority of players are just using the faucet to store bets while betting litteraly 2 cents at a time.

The majority of bets are this- 0.00000010 just watch the size of bets for 10 minutes 80% of bets are less than 1/10th of a cent.
   
For the last 2 weeks I havent gone up 0.0001.

The biggest bankrollers have been nothing but understanding and supportive.  I guess they understand we just recently launched and are still developing.

You are comparing our first 3 weeks being live to how the next 3 weeks will progress, and the following 3 weeks thereafter etc.  Not very fair, but I understand your frustration and apologize for things not having commenced as smoothly as we had hoped.  We will do our best to progress well from here.

Should also note ChiliPowder, we haven't really begun marketing yet, but it is certainly time.  We overcame a pretty big obstacle, the site is running virtually lag free, and the bet slider addition is coming.  Things don't happen overnight for the most part, but we're going to do our best to get there.

[2017orso]

Some people on this forum have likely already learned I find it difficult to remain quiet, and it's important for this trait to be exercised here for a moment.

I really think it should be understood where us 3 are coming from with this project.

Christian, our backend, is a network security expert with a full-time job and a family including a newborn, who has done an incredible job bringing us to this point.  The admin panel alone is testimony to that, and is something that likely rivals the backend functionality and administration of some highly successful traditional online casinos.  I am very happy with our security at this point and will continue to push an already serious Christian to deliver the most protected offering we can muster.

Wiebe, is a very talented young developer, just turning 20, and excited about his undergraduate studies beginning this fall.  His coding ability and visual work are stunning and it's really amazing having him as part of this project.  He truly cares about what he produces and I could tell from the first time speaking to him, that he only undertakes what he genuinely believes in.

I am for the most part in between online poker as a profession and starting my legal studies which I turned my back on when finding online poker, and have delayed now further for this bitcoin journey which not only offers potential prosperity but also an opportunity to help craft the future of certain niches we may find ourselves having developed some relative expertise in.  Something many of you can attest to in one way or another as well which is why you're on this forum.

It's safe to say any one of us three will continue on our chosen disciplines regardless what becomes of Satoshicarnival.  We will continue on trading sleep for progress in this passion project, mainly because all three of us already lose sleep with ideas bouncing around in our heads.  The game ideas we discuss and have in mind and on the drawing boards are really very interesting and cool and bitcoin makes them possible.  But it should be made clear, when we envision our success, we look out 6 months, 1 year, not to next week.

There are very many plans for our casino, from more features to many new games, some of which are completely designed from scratch from the bottom up.  This however will all take time.

We have allowed public bankrolling for a variety of reasons, because it helps us take bigger bets, because it helps us gain exposure, because it allows others to share in this journey and grow with us.  We currently only keep 15% commissions.  Even if we were successful today, that wouldn't come close to compensating all of us for our time in the past several months and continued devotion and hard work in the future. 

All of that is okay because all that matters is the end goal which is still quite a ways out.  We could have simply waited until that very point to launch, instead we decided to grow with the community.  We don't regret that decision regardless how it may be perceived.  I am sorry nonetheless for the exploit, and in time am confident bankrollers will be repaid.

For now, anyone interested in what we have done so far and have planned, continue to support us and grow with us, we'll try our best not to disappoint you.

Bet slider coming this weekend.

Set your own odds of winning.

1%-98% chance with variable house edge.  This will be another planet alongside all the fixed options.  In fact it will be a cool Wormhole feature.   

See you there players.

Bug in bet slider under chrome

Very odd. This is a known bug in the styling but it has been fixed yesterday. Could you try refreshing using Shift+F5?
If the bug still is there, I would like to know what operating system you're on, and the exact chrome version (see menu->About Chrome).

In the future, please consider e-mailing us with these types of things as usually they are machine dependent, and more often they can be fixed with a refresh of the browser.

It's currently in the chat until we develop a visual for it soon.

[2017orso]

Hi all, couple updates:

Total Wagered has now for the first time surpassed the house roll with many new players enjoying the Wormhole - custom bet slider that is essentially like other dice games but much funner, easy to use, and with a lower house edge.

We are also about to start contracting a bitcoin transaction security expert who is a software developer of 20 years with in-depth knowledge of bitcoin security - transaction malleability, wallet processing etc.

Good luck, have fun, be confident we're doing all we can to keep our site fair and safe.

[2017orso]

You can now see some of our banners at http://cryptobettingindex.com/dice-invest/ with more to come

Happy Planet Hunting

Site goes down right as I try to withdraw. Conspiracy, I say!

[2017orso]

Site goes down right as I try to withdraw. Conspiracy, I say!

?

Sites not down and hasn't been.  Sometimes depending on your region Cloudflare can have regional hiccups but that has nothing to do with us and only experienced by you.

Try again, and withdrawals are fine obviously.

[Rulishix]

Oh? Will try again, then! I was just goofing obviously but I thought it was down. Doesn't let me back on! :/

Well this sucks! I can't get back on! Any other suggestions? Keeps saying webpage not available.

[2017orso]

Oh? Will try again, then! I was just goofing obviously but I thought it was down. Doesn't let me back on! :/

Okay never know when someone is trolling or is really experiencing some difficulty

What region are you from, you can let me know here or search google for your region and cloudflare.  If you're still not able to get in after a short amount of time please let us know or even send us an email which could help us address it better.

The site itself is fine however and up, I'm in there now.

[Rulishix]

Southfield,   Michigan.  Will also do the google thing and try again in 15 minutes. Thanks, man!

[2017orso]

Southfield,   Michigan.  Will also do the google thing and try again in 15 minutes. Thanks, man!

Shouldn't be having any issues then relating to cloudflare, hmm yeah definately let us know if you still can't get in.

congrats on your win

beautiful state Michigan.  cheers

[Rulishix]

All is good and solved. I guess cloudflare hated me for a second. 2017orso was very kind and helpful despite the problem resolving itself. Thank you!

Did you stop paying out refunds on the hacked BTC?

Did you stop paying out refunds on the hacked BTC?

No, there just haven't been any commissions.

ok i wanna do a bet

as M82 is hardly to hit

(here we got how much it appeared so far)

http://gyazo.com/cdc6e1d9baf10edbb20a882d8a27542e

im betting next time it will appear is at

3536764

bets (this goes for the bet count in the "All Bets" tab)

Cryptolemming is so nice to act as escrow

bet amount is 0.01 BTC

the bets will be sent to this address he provides

18FNWDSuU1y9FKZ3Y1qARBhC8ELmy7coxN

https://blockchain.info/address/18FNWDSuU1y9FKZ3Y1qARBhC8ELmy7coxN

winner will be the one who gets closest to the actual bet number M82 appears the next time

good luck to all

pls post the Txid of ur bet deposit in this thread so we can track it

here is mine https://blockchain.info/de/tx/ae23d5f1656ae10e7e7f7d258a9aababc14da631b8e9370529a82b1fe11d9af0

you can bet as many bets as u like,but for each bet u need to pay 0.01 BTC

lets say u wanna oubet me u could bet 3536763 and 3536765 then u need to send 0.02 BTC to the address

[2017orso]

That's an interesting bet LtPaxIV, sounds like fun.

So basically people send .01 btc and guess a number for when M82 will hit next.  Whomever gets closest to the actual betid will receive the bounty.

Everyone who bets, please post your txid here so I can keep track of them.

Gl to all

[2017orso]

[zeroworld]

crazy,the game looks so simple,but hard to earn~~~take lots of time~

[2017orso]

crazy,the game looks so simple,but hard to earn~~~take lots of time~

Pick a planet or odds on the Wormhole with the slider with much better UI then any other dice game, and bet using the button, hotkeys or autobet checkbox.  It's that simple.  

Galaxies are more rare, that's why their payouts are higher.

Planets payout very frequently, and the Wormhole allows 1-98% chance of winning.

It's just like other dice games, but a lot more interesting and fun.

[2017orso]

Maxbet on Galaxies has now doubled!

Current maxbet on M82 is 214 satoshis, payout is over BTC2.3!

Minbet for galaxies is also now 100 satoshis.

cmon guys and join the raffle so far im the only one whos in it,lets get some moar ppl in it 

[zimmah]

is this site still being updated? Activity seems to be waning.

[LtPaxIV]

i really cant tell.but it doesnt look like it.the last time i heard something from lemming was,when i closed the raffle i had put up,investment also got less.it would be sad if the site vanishes/closes.

[2017orso]

Hi guys, sorry for the late response.

So, development hasn't been ongoing for a couple months because first the backend was on vacation for a few weeks, then the frontend was on vacation when the backend returned.  We are figuring things out now and will update asap. 

Thanks.

[zimmah]

i really cant tell.but it doesnt look like it.the last time i heard something from lemming was,when i closed the raffle i had put up,investment also got less.it would be sad if the site vanishes/closes.

many investors retreated their investment because less people used the website because advertisement stopped and devs were on vacation.

hopefully the site will gain more activity again after the updates.

The site is very promising but it needs much effort to become the top, it especially needs a lot of advertising to get there.

[2017orso]

Dear guests,

after some careful deliberation between us, we have decided it would be best to sell our beloved site to someone who would be better able to capitalize on its potential.  All 3 of us have many other obligations and are simply not in a position to bring the business to the heights that it can achieve.

The site is currently down, and will be back up shortly once we have the Auction prepared for the sale of the site.  

Some very important things to note:

• All funds are safe and have not/will not be touched
• When the Auction is prepared and site back online, all members will have the opportunity to withdraw their coins
• The auction will be live for 2-4 weeks, exact length tbd - any leftover coins not withdrawn will NOT pass onto the new owner and instead will be held by me until contacted by the appropriate members
• The starting price of the auction will be at least BTC5.xx to cover the debt to bankrollers after the incident at minimum

We apologize for the inconvenience caused and as passionate as we are about this project, the reality is that it would be more successful with a person or team that can devote more time and resources to its proliferation.  The winner(s) of the auction will receive all code, the domain and everything else related.  All details will be posted in the auction when it is posted.

Thanks again for all the support.  Our members were a great joy to meet and interact with and made this experience a real joy.

Please check back soon for a link to the auction details.

Sad times. However, can you please consider re enabling the site so that users/investors can withdraw their funds? I may reinvest in the site in the future but it is not fair to have to wait for a month to know what will happen with our BTC.

[2017orso]

Hi,

as stated, site will be active once the Auction is ready, not when it's over.  All withdrawals will be processed right away.

[2017orso]

Site is up.

Please request withdrawals and they will be processed today.  I will also be waiting a couple days before starting to send to emergency addresses just in case members don't want to use that address any longer.

The auction will also be posted soon.

Thanks for all your patience and support throughout. 

[coingamblingreviews]

Where is the auction going to be done? Is there an escrow system being setup for this?

[2017orso]

I will be posting the auction here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=73.0

Also will make mention of it in this forum.

Escrow would be fine if there is a respected recommendation otherwise escrow would be myself.  Did hold up to 150 bankroller coins for this project etc so that's something but yes if a buyer wants a neutral and trusted member with more advanced reputation then myself then I don't see a problem with that.

Thanks.

[coingamblingreviews]

Very interesting! I though the site was very cool

Are you going to be releasing financial details of the company as well?

[2017orso]

There aren't many financial details to speak of.  The relevant details are clearly visible on site.  Can include expenses information in the auction sure - just basic stuff - server, cloudflare, that's pretty much it assuming you are a dev or have devs.

Thanks

[2017orso]

Auction has now started - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774136.0

Dooglus was kind enough to agree to act as escrow.

Good luck and happy bidding, may it find a good new home.

[LtPaxIV]

meh sad to hear about this.but i was wondering some weeks ago whats going on,now i got the answer.what will happen if noone buys the site? will u just like delete it?

[zimmah]

Ah, that's pretty sad.

I'll have to find a new home now.

[Marlo Stanfield]

Good luck finding buyers for the site. It was a good one!

The site has been sold a month ago privately, and no info on the buyer is published. So, I believe the best bet for you is to send 2017orso a PM to discuss how the problem is going to be handled.

We have finalized a purchase privately and since there weren't any legitimate bids the auction is now over.

Thanks for any interest nonetheless. 

The new owner is a trustworthy and dedicated individual who will give it the care and attention required.  It will be in good hands and we wish the new owner and the project success in the future.

Hi Peter,

the new owner has been working away at getting everything situated for the re-launch.  I am still working with him to to get started and hopefully he'll be going live this week.  Reimbursements will then go out and withdrawals processed etc.  All coins belonging to the balance in any way pre-sale will be processed by me and not be transferred to him. 

Thanks

[kleineaap]

Students have no time to develop while drunk. And the guy who bought it, oh well, he might as well be a drunk student of merit.

[CoolRunnings21]

So I never recieved re imbursement after the hack except for like 0.00003. I decided to withdraw my coins as my investment as losing anyways,

Will you return coins from the hack to people that are currently not invested?

Ehmm.. No?

[2017orso]

I have no idea who kleineaap is or what hes talking about.

The new owner is still making sure everything is perfect for the re-launch which he has been working tirelessly on, including with the help of the old back-end Christian.

Yes - all coins are accounted for - all reimbursements will be available for withdrawal etc.

I can confirm that SCarnival.co is the new owner of satoshicarnival.

You actually don't even have to send me your username. I don't want to give public access yet, though, only to old bankrollers that are waiting for their funds.

Thanks for showing up here. This is good news, I had access to my previous balance and I hope the old site will be running back again.

Glad to see that (hopefully) there are still honest ppl here.

[SCarnival.co]

Full reimbursements from the previous hack have been paid into the accounts of affected bankrollers. You may, and should, withdraw these funds now. If you plan to invest later, please be patient until the site is back online, and create a new account then.

There will be a new thread explaining everything in detail in the next few days.
