I've been working on redesigning some of the backend bitcoin payment stuff that I have been using and in the process made it fairly simple to have it support alt-coins with the same basic design/networking.  My end goal was to make it much simpler to put basic (and not so basic) ***coin projects together without having to do security from the bottom up for each project.  Not really sure when/if those bits will ever be directly released but in the meantime I threw together a simple proof-of-concept to try things out.

The display/explanations may be a little rough around the edges but it is fully functional.  As always don't gamble with any coins you can't afford to lose and if you run into any issues let me know the tx hash and I'll track it down.

Nice  

Though the house edge is a little too high for my taste. Satoshidice has 1.9% why is this 3%?

[AndrewBUD]

1dice was 3% for a while..... just  recently changed back to 1.9% ...

[mskwik]

I figured it was safest to start with the edge on the high side and adjust lower later if possible.  The actual house edge (as opposed to the average displayed) depends on the bet size due to the minimum amount returned for a loss (which has to be somewhat higher than the 1dice ones due to the current fee rules on the litecoin network) so basically I wanted to make sure the expected return stays positive even with a lot of small bets.

Sorry if the return txs were a little slow there for a bit, seems my local litecoind decided to ban me for trying to relay too many transactions through it at once, at least that problem shouldn't happen again

Hmm, it looks like I have 3 payments now in the outgoing queue that are stuck at 0 confirmations but it has sent other payments in the meantime just fine, must be something about those it doesn't like.  I'm working on it, will (hopefully) get it sent shortly.

And there it goes.  Guess I gotta go through and check my locking, looks like it was trying to double-spend one of those inputs with another tx created at the same time.

Beautiful. I was addicted to SatoshiDice (And lost like 40btc), I feel like having access to this one may be bad for me (But good for you I guess )

[mystery2048]

Oh, nice project you have there...

[Tittiez]

I love this

[tacotime]

you might wanna make it wait for 6 confirmations before you send out the return for rewards, it seems pretty dangerous to have it wait for 0 confirmations to send it.

edit: I see you changed that right after I mentioned it, haha.

Hmm

I got my first transaction (the loss) of .01 LTC back, within minutes after sending. Haven't receiving my big winnings yet. Going to get some sleep now, hopefully when I wake up they'll be in my account

[DutchBrat]

Uhmmm.... this is a nice house-edge:

2012-08-01 11:11:49   f2d09d1c3fcc6595...   Under 48000   16827   WIN   0.20000000 LTC   0.16216000 LTC

Shouldn't that be 0.2616 LTC

Now I win and get back less than I gambled !!!

Waiting on payout on:

[DutchBrat]

I got my payout.....

But 0.16216 payout on a winning 0.20 bet is still wrong !!!!

[mskwik]

Yeah, I see around 40 bets queued up waiting for payout now but it'll catch back up shortly, the big win triggered a manual review on the payment backend, guess I should make it so that doesn't hold up the other payments in the queue.

Yes it should return winnings with 0 confirmations when it manages to respond fast enough (these Litecoin blocks come pretty fast) which is relatively safe because it uses the original tx in the payout, so if it ends up voided somehow the payout will as well.

And yes the tx fee can take a fairly large chunk percentage-wise at small amounts.  I don't necessarily want to make the min bet too large, but on very small bets it's way more than the house edge so can't afford to take it out of the house side either without a negative expected return (which isn't particularly sustainable).

Ah I see, my bad !
