We all face hard times sometime or another and it's how we learn from them that helps us. Great to see you back and as before you have my support.

Hello folks,

First of all, I want to apologize for how things turned out.
Here is a detailed version of what happened :

Altdice.net is a multicoin dice website. It was founded in August 2013 and experienced little downtime before the hack.
In march 2015, some offchain dice script was added. Prior to that, I asked a dev to make a review of the code to make sure it's safe to use. (Link to dev PM)
It appeared the script was fine to run.

It ran for less than two months, then it got hacked. (Link to hack screenshot.)
Most of the funds were gone. There is my first mistake : the onchain and offchain game shared the same hot wallets.
That way, the exploiter took large pieces of both offchain and onchain bankrolls.

Then, and this is hard to mention, I was experiencing hell in my personal life.
I don't want to go into the details, but the hack didn't help. I hate how I went missing, but I could hardly do it otherwise.
That was my worst mistake.

Now, things have changed and life gets better.

Such hack is not likely to happen again.
The original onchain dice game is safe. It was tailor-made by a professional dev and heavily tested.
It processed over 250,000 bets in 18 months, in total. It had some minor bugs at start, but all got fixed.
When time will come to introduce some offchain dice game, I'll make sure it follows the same proceeds and is as reliable as the onchain one.

Altdice was and will be a great service within the cryptocoins communities.

What happens next :

I am relaunching Altdice.net as it was before, an on-chain dice game.
The original onchain game is still great and runs smooth.
Shares are being sold, and the benefits will mainly be used to recover the missing coins.
Everything will be done to restore the game as it was before. It may take some time, but we're on the right path.

I hope that some time of flawless exploitation will heal Altdice.net.

No surrender, no retreat, no regret.
Yogg, is your project still alive? It's a bit strange to see it go offline this way without notice. Hope your wallets are safe.

I still haven't had an update off Yogg and the servers will be kept offline. I am hoping Yogg returns and I will keep the servers data for the coming months until I make a decision on how to move forward

The Altdice.net main VPS has been taken down for maintenance and depending on the feedback from the engineers will either be placed back online later today or kept offline for a few days.

Thanks


Take altdice.net offline and see if he will contact you about the site being down.  Very odd to not hear from him.


-tb-

Thanks. Have done and will keep them operational but offline for the next few months. Yogg is a great part of the crypto community and I'm not a man to jump to any conclusions.

Not looking good. Any ideas?

I'm not sure. I have contacted Yogg by email and PM several times over the last two months but haven't heard anything back. I do host two Altdice.net servers and am waiting for payment of 2 months which is overdue.

I do have trust in Yogg but like I said I am still awaiting a response.

Altdice still paying out profits?

Can anyone verify if it is? I'm not sure if this is an automated feature or manual but I have been unable to get hold of Yogg since the 9th June.

First off, THANK YOU FOR REPLYING AND EXPLAINING.
Secondly... I'm an investor... What does that mean to me? I gave you something hoping you can take that something and make something. Did I expect payments every month? Honestly... No... I was expecting a report though. As was displayed here, YOU are highly regarded in the crypto community. YOU need to keep that in mind. Once your reputation is sullied it is a hard road to repair. As they say in my industry, 1000 "Good Jobs" can be wiped out by one "Oh Shit"...

With that being said. It appears the only people making money in the crypto community are the piece of shit hackers and scamers. This is sad yet understandable.

Moving forward I have these questions.
1. Is the site still functional and fluid?
2. Has the issue been resolved?
3. If the issue has not been patched, do you have a game plan to correct with a timeline?

I have no anger with you. If this needs to be put on hold to ensure no future loss I have no problem sitting and waiting. Do what you need to do and correct the issues.

Concerning the monthly profit report I would simply like to see a report showing the loss. As an investor I will look at the issue and IF its in my best interest I will re-invest funds providing the issue has been fixed.  

Lastly, if the hot wallets were hacked can you post the information so that we can see how this happened? Did someone game the system? How was this done?

This is YOUR creation and I hope you have not lost your passion to this project that you displayed early on that convinced me to invest in YOU. I look forward to your response..

Sadly the crypto community has not had a good show lately... Sorry Im jaded... Im just looking for a response. Thank you for yours...

Hello gr8tness,

I understand your concerns. I am conscious I should have communicated more about what happened. In fact, at the beginning of May, I was not sure what to do.
This is why I skipped the profit payments.

I never intended to scam, and I this is not an option for me.

Now that I have found a solution to keep the website going, everything should be back to normal at the end of the month. I'll pay the profits for April and May at the end of May.

Also, I'll be looking to make the offchain dice game available ASAP. Thanks for your comprehension and sorry for the inconvenience.

You don't lack anything, anyone would have panicked and buried their head but not many would have come back! AltDice is an awesome site (Be it a little addictive) but a brilliant service in the crypto world.

Thanks a lot for your kind words and support, batesresearch. It's really precious to me. It might sound stupid, but I really need that... Cryptoworld is a harsh place and we should help each other.
I'll never thank you enough for reassuring everyone in this thread, when I was away.
I immensely appreciate everything you do for me. I'm forever grateful to you.

Hello everybody.

First, please excuse me for the time I needed to come up with a solution and about my very poor communication.
I took a break because I didn't know how to address the situation. This is the first time something similar happens, I needed time to process the shock and find a suitable solution.
I missed the 1st of May profits payment. I just didn't know how to react.

As I said, the site and I are not going anywhere. I am a responsible person, I will stick to my word, and I'll do my best to find a solution that suits everybody.
The website is running since August 2013 and Altdice is one of the most resilient altcoin dice website over time.

Now, about the event. The offchain dice script was exploited and the site's hot wallets were emptied.
Some coins were stolen. A minor share, but still.

I didn't do the calculations yet, but I believe the stolen amount is somewhere around 1.5-2 BTC.
When that happened, I was unsure of the future of the website. For sure I wouldn't run away with investors funds, but then, what to do ?

I was thinking of selling the website so I can free some of my time and repay the investor without injecting my own funds.
But, I don't really want to give up on AltDice. There is still a lot of room for improvement.

My biggest mistake was to keep the news while I thought of some solution.
I know the first thing I should have done was to communicate about what happened. I am very sorry for this.

What happens now ? Nothing really changes.
I will buy the stolen coins back and cover 100% of the loss.
The profits for April will be paid as they were supposed to be, at the end of this month. So at the end of May investors will receive April and May profits.
Along with the profits payment, I will add 10% of your investment to compensate for the inconvenience and lack of communication.

Also, I will be looking for a new and safe offchain dice script so players can enjoy this game with a large selection of altcoins.

Now that this is posted, I will review and reply to the posts.

AltDice is a legit website. For sure I lack some management skills but I try hard to do my best.
I value honesty a lot, I won't allow that investors who trusted me suffer from any loss of coins.



You don't lack anything, anyone would have panicked and buried their head but not many would have come back! AltDice is an awesome site (Be it a little addictive) but a brilliant service in the crypto world.
