We definitely need a moderated thread for this.

More drama:

Ryan: Guys. Holy shit. The site is going down. We've been compromised.
Ryan: From a quick look, about 10 BTC has been stolen
Ryan: Please no one panic, I'll cover this out of my own pocket
Ryan: but I need to investigate this
Ryan: last game
Ryan: I can't process withdrawals until I figure it out
Ryan: All withdrawals have been frozen
Ryan: I'm going to leave the site up, so people can chat

Edit:

Ryan: I'm going to cover all loses out of my own pocket, so no one worry
Ryan: The game is paused
Ryan: We've been compromised
Ryan: I just moved 15 into the hot wallet
Ryan: Services are suspended until I figure out what happened
Ryan: 23 accounts have been used
Ryan: 23 accounts have more money than they should

Edit2:

Ryan: LOL
Ryan: Hey guys, I'm the worldest biggest retard
Ryan: I was connecting to the dev database
Ryan: The dev database audit failed
Ryan: not the production one
Ryan: I freaked out

Someone came back home drunk.

Someone came back home drunk.

I think dooglus' post is rather self explanatory, but just to add more color: Someone let me the know the hot wallet was empty, so I sent 15 BTC at it, and took a look at the pending withdrawals. There was an 11 BTC withdrawal queued up, nothing extremely out of the ordinary but was interested in how he got the money. Checked the accounts deposits, and there were none, and checked his game history -- and the winnings were very small. In a panic I ran the auditing script, and identified 23 accounts that weren't balancing out. I freaked out a bit, and disconnected the withdrawal system and paused all game play.

Within a minute, i quickly realised that I was just a moron -- and had been connected to the dev server, and not the production one. The balances on the dev server hadn't been auditing because of dirty hacks that have been made to it. I did a quick check against production, everything balanced, I resumed gameplay and processed withdrawals.

Sorry about the stupidity and inconvenience, I just panicked a little.

at least we know now that you are an human being

i found the following site on reddit: https://battlebase.co/ (http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2klmlf/we_got_sick_of_dice_so_we_created_a_new_mmo_twist/)

ist it another moneypot clone? it really looks like one with just another GUI, but i couldnt find any reference to mp, so I thought asking here might help.

It's not a MP clone, interesting game though.

yeah, its based on the same code, just a different front end.

Do you mean, the seed is released after the game? That would be totally not provably fair. A lot of games have been using the multiplier thing, which is great.

What do you mean by that?
The sha256 is published before the game, and the secret is published after the game. I don't see any problem there.

Uhh, I really doubt that. It follows a similar concept but is totally different.

[LuckyDot]

I like the concept, will be playing here

The problem is that I'm an idiot.

The long awaited strategy editor now makes it's debut in pre-alpha quality. Lots of people have been wanting to play around with an early release, so now you have it. As one of the few gambling games that make it possible for +EV style game play, allowing bots is quite interesting. If you want to share or request strategies: http://www.reddit.com/r/moneypot is a good place to collect them.

I took the martingale strategy and slightly modified it, to make sure it starts at my base bet, and to allow me to bet with my choice of payout multiplier:

Code:

var baseBet = 1; // in Bits
var mult = 2.01;

var satoshis = baseBet * 100;
var crash = Math.floor(mult*100 + 1e-6);
var currentBet = false;

engine.onGameStarting = function () {
    if (currentBet && engine.lastGameWasLost()) {
        currentBet *= 2;
        console.log('double bet to', currentBet/100);
    } else {
        currentBet = satoshis;
        console.log('reset bet to', currentBet/100);
    }
    if (currentBet < engine.getBalance()) {
        console.log('place bet of', currentBet/100, 'at', crash/100);
        engine.placeBet(currentBet, crash, false);
    }
    else {
        engine.stop();
        console.log('You ran out of bits :(');
    }
};

It seems to be working:

It's kinda funny to see what looks like a big dip and recovery in your graph, only to note that it's only a matter of 500 bits out of a profit of 2.8 million.
