SatoshiDICE.com - The World's Most Popular Bitcoin Game

[Stephen Gornick]

the site takes quite a long time to reload, and one of my bids from last night have yet to be paid (like many other tx)

Ya, the recent bets now instead of truncating at 200 rows is now showing 2,185 rows of bets.

Is there an ETA on the backlogged transactions being paid?

[opticbit]

been playing a little over the past few days,  sometimes the response is within seconds, other times it takes ~15min.

I'm still waiting for a payout from 36 hours ago. 

I trust the site operators and everything, I'm just getting impatient!

Im waiting on txid f720f4c4eeddbd88d90b171cddf12741e756dfb4d540803fbe536f4d6068f674
but in the 4 times Ive seen satoshi's dice fall over it always comes back online and pays the bets.

Somebody needs to kick it again I think . Just playing around with it but it appears stuck.

[shockD]

We at. (Just not right now.)

Also, I gather that's your 503 page, but that = myBrainIsFullOfFuck.jpg. If that's the intent, then well done I suppose . Good luck with the project, very interesting to see a single concept jack up the transaction rate like that. Brilliant idea all around.

Yeah, it's stuck now for more than a day... Please, kick it :-)

Quick update:  Since our house run of luck has been terrible (though we still believe, within the bounds of statistical possibility without cheating), we are increasing the house edge just slightly, up to 1% from .818%. We may bring the edge back down in the near future. We need to do this as the house pool is not large enough to enable people to be placing the size of bets they'd like so this should help with that aspect.

It's probably due to people using a progressive betting strategy. This doesn't reduce your edge, but it does change the flow. What will happen is that instead of having a small trickle of profit, you will have a small trickle of loss with the occasional spike of huge profit. You will need to increase your reserve, but you should be quite happy to do that.

Huh. I never thought of a martingale from the house's point of view before. Nice one, Joel.

I've made 2 bets with blockchain.info web interface but nothing returned to my wallet. The transaction ids are:

c3e9dfafc943772dc9dbe92de481c30d1bf50e9a042b11816356cbe85bdabb63

e1c796224599d6a42476123eab5d9eccd8bc90f3a78307d061bceddfae85a438

Blockchain.info is really incompatible with this site?

Edit: Two bets have won and returned to my wallet after a few hours.

lol i shipped out like 7 5btc bets as fast as i could to the 2.7x address.  the limit was 6.7 so i figured it would be fine and then 2 of them won, 2 lost, and 4 say over limit.  Suprised the limit can get adjusted that much that fast.  Guess i have to bet less in the future to avoid this.  Can you please make the results happen faster though?  Its really annoying to wait more than a minute.

dude I'm telling you people are cheating, you can raise your edge to 50% and it wouldn't matter, you are only donating your btc to the cheaters.

That seems impossible to me. I don't see how people could possibly cheat.

by seeing into the future and/or by cracking sha256 somehow.

A few approaches discussed here:

Awesome! I accidentally sent 1btc when I meant to send .1 and won 2.7btc!

What luck

congrats!

the first time i ran my martingale bot, it had a bug in it which caused it to think it had lost, even if it hadn't. so my very first live test went like this:

0.01 - lose
0.02 - lose
0.04 - lose
0.08 - lose
0.16 - lose
0.32 - lose
0.64 - lose
1.28 - lose
2.56 - lose

i was then pleasantly surprised to find that around half of them had actually won, including some of the bigger bets.

I don't know who that was but that's gotta sting...
