Is the minimum bet really the equiv of ~$2.40 USD? It's getting too expensive to play this game Smiley

And ridiculously rewarding for a lucky few. Can you guys check out this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=171803) and shoot it down? I'm having trouble seeing clearly if it'd be a good idea or a bad one to be honest.

I tried, but I don't think I did a very good job of it.  By pooling your resources with other gamblers you will reduce the variance, and end up closer to the expected result - which is losing 1.9%.

Miners pool their resources because they want to get closer to their expected result (since it's positive).  The only thing that makes SatoshiDice fun is the variance.  If you were very likely to always lose 1.9% of your bet why would you play?

Edit: I can never remember how to spell 'varience'.

Why would you want to shoot it down?  You are correct in your assessment of its long-term outcome should they keep playing that long of course but the kind of people who think of it that carefully and understand it that well only play occasionally for fun if at all anyway.  I'll give another reply over there.

does Blockchain.info wallet work with SatoshiDice?

there is a note on the dice website saying that it will only work with wallets that allow you to instantly receive back transactions to the same address..

I'd think so. Afterall isn't blockchained associated with SatoshiDice? Just use their inbuilt ability to gamble with SatoshiDice lol

They might have stopped their partnership though? Havn't checked.

what's bizarre is that there seem to be bets going through on the website, which implies perhaps it was offline for a bit and just hasn't caught up with some old bets.  I'm sure it will eventually, the bets always go though, eventually.

Remember - if you made your transactions yesterday then the secret for 9th April 2013 has already been published:

WKznFOxYUYfm75Be74byfzqDnTgbeY75lybkh2oWQGlCUO5ccKw1XLzwkL4fQ26s

this, along with your transaction ID can calculate whether you won or not using Dooglus' website here:

http://dooglus.com/sd/

When today's secret comes out I'll be able to check if my bet has won or not Smiley

They use the secret for the day of processing, rather than the secret for the day the bet was sent.

A while ago someone was complaining about a 'stuck' bet.  It was a few days old, and the site itself was processing other bets at full speed.  I found his transaction and rebroadcast it, and it was very quickly picked up by satoshidice and processed using the current day's secret.  So in a sense I was able to affect the outcome of his bet, simply by rebroadcasting his transaction.

According to my calculations, satoshidice is currently about 15000 bets behind.  Yesterday they only processed about 6000 bets in total, well below the usual throughput.  I would guess there's something wrong with their server, and that until it's fixed the backlog will only get worse.

I understood that the bet processing was done on a hidden server, separately from the website itself, and so hard to DDoS.  But something's clearly not working right at the moment.

According to my calculations, satoshidice is currently about 15000 bets behind.

I suspect "my calculations" were wrong.  I calculated that there was a backlog of 15000 bets for 3 days in a row.  That seems unlikely to be true - either they would be catching up on the backlog or falling further behind.  Much more likely is that my script counted a bunch of bets twice or some such.

Apologies for possibly spreading lies about SatoshiDice's performance!

It turns out I was counting all the bets under the min bet that SatoshiDice never returned.  Other than those, everything's normal, and there are very few bets awaiting payment.

Sorry for the confusion.
