bustabit.com -- The Social Gambling Game

[jaysabi]

Nice game!!! Interesting and fun 

I am now trying it with 2bits of faucet.

Can you also build it for alt-currencies, i.e. Qora?

Alt-currencies would be interesting! I know Doge would be popular, but I'm sure there are quite a few this could become a popular game for.

Server connecting problem... ..      ..

Doog, guess you should stop taking baseless accusations so seriously. You've probably spent yours of your valuable time replying to trolls like BB just to see their accounts being flagged with tons of negative trust ratings or even in this case get nuked.

Does this mean the BB guy is off the forum finally? That's a great relief, he was starting to pick at my brains and everyone else's with his stupid reasoning. I hope he never comes back. Iam sure he will use a new ID and come back like a bad penny though. Guess doog should really stop responding to the idiot, it gives him attention and then he goes all crazy.

i think it the will be a great idea if the dev added other coins to play

A social gambling game? You mean just another gambling thing. No need to sugarcoat it. It's gambling.

It sounds like he means it's a gambling game with social aspects; presumably: 1) you compete against other players for the bonus and/or 2) there's a chat area.

I heard this one is a scam?  Is it true?

No it is not.

No it is not.

I think you heard the wrong info. I think what you referring to was the ponzi moneypot.

Is the new investment scheme public? If not, I'd like to request permission to use the same thing. (or try to.) At least allow them to pick a number instead of fixing it to 1%. (*edit* I'm asking dooglus, espringe, and ryan)

I posted my idea about "off-site investment" to one of the JD threads about a year ago.

Use it if you like.

[panju1]

So is the site still payin?

Yes. Processed over a 1000 bitcoins of withdrawals without issue.

For a minute I thought you were talking about a single transaction. 
Of course, what has been processed historically does not necessarily indicate the current status.

Took me a while to find, but it was a very interesting thread. It seems you proposed it during the time when investors lived in fear of Nakowa and wanted to be able to configure different risk profiles. I had mistakenly believed I had some part to do with its creation, when trying to explore a good way to allow investors to minimize their counter-party risk, but it was fully explored a long time ago. I apologize about not giving you full credit when it was due.

The game server is done right now. Or rather, it's not routable from the outside world -- but still online. Looking into it right now, it's not clear if it's because of an abuse claim, or null-routed by our hosting provider because of DoSes. We're preparing the move to a new game server, please have patience while we make the move. In the mean time you can still deposit (or more likely) withdraw your money

Could it be that someone filed a report that your website was against the host's ToS again?

[RHavar]

...and we're routable again. It looks like it was just a hiccup with our provider. I'll chase it down with them to see if they can provide me with more details. I intend to make the most of this experience and setup a warm fallback game server for issues like these.

Sorry to everyone who was effected by this brief outage.

Do you still have it? I'd like to make a note of the URL.

Thanks to the both of you.

dooglus, please don't re-open JD for awhile (or forever), hehehe. Feel free to partially invest here (and also to my new one; sorry wait another 2 weeks, I'm still working on it.)

Ryan, here is a free idea for you, in addition to the different risk profiles, investors can affect (but not chose) how much the site takes commission on profits. So, dooglus first thought of the whole investing thing, and then Dabs thought of the variable commissions. (Now, maybe this was also already explored a long time ago ...) It seems to me, to be a simple idea.

I initially planned on opening my little game with a 1.56% house edge. But seeing how another site lowers that house edge for the players the more they wager, I could do the same thing. MoneyPot already has a very low house edge, so I don't think you should lower it any more.

Yes, me too. Please save me from reading all 236 pages / 4700 posts of JD's thread. LOL.

I'm not sure if that's the specific post you're looking for but most of the discussion about offsite investments took place nearby it. Maybe you should try going to the print page of the post, hit F3 and search whatever was written in this post yourself.

I did the same thing, and searched for keywords like 'offsite' and read around there. I also followed a link to a thread where there was a poll from an angry investor with a appetite for variance upset about the change to a 0.25% max profit per bet.
