Why this thread is in marketplace section?it should be in altcoin announcement section.Move your thread there in order to get much visitors and investors.This is not the right place for the project ANN/pre-ann

You can also buy with Bitcoin!

We are building a process to make that very easy for BTC holders.

It's a fair question. Though the facts / assumptions are not technically correct.

We are blockchain nerds. We maintain successful applications for Bitcoin at the moment too.
We've even written applications for Dogecoin that are very successful for that space, on an ongoing basis.

These are all betting / gambling applications. So we stick to a core competency.
As we believe it is wrong to spread yourself too thin. Then nothing gets achieved. That's a core philosophy for us.

So, we don't "ditch" anything. These are ongoing projects that are going well, in a commercial setting.

We have a good core team of developers, some of the best. We have guys even on the original Ethereum founding team.
We also have an extended team of sub-contracted security experts, and developers.

After the crowdsale, with funds, that team will be increased over time, at a manageable pace.

We realise we live and breathe by the developer talent we attract and keep. We consider ourselves very good at that.
It's probably the most important thing. This space has a limited amount of real talent, for how fast the technology is growing.

That will change over an extended period. But it takes time for real talent to re-tool and re-adapt to working with this new technology.

So, it was never a matter of just switching over to Ethereum. It was a platform that allowed us to build an extra application within our core competency.

Please ask further questions if you feel this was not a satisfactory answer. I am not being facetious. Quality questions like this help everyone on this thread.

I am following and supporting this project. Looking forward on ICO date and more updates on this.

 Exactly 2 weeks from now the ICO will start. Get your ETH before it's too late! I'm so excited about this project.

So you started with Bitcoin and as soon something technically better (at that time) with more possibilities (DAPPS, smart contracts) showed up you switched over.
Will you guarantee that in the future when  we possibly may see even more advanced altcoin with better, futuristic solutions implemented you won't ditch your current project and switch again?
I mean current ETH blockchain has some limitations as well.

Hi everyone! Check out this Steemit post about our ICO! We discuss the details and also how to buy vSlice tokens for when November 15th comes around and the crowdsale starts!

Well, that wasn't really the point that I was trying to make here. Regardless of whether ETH becomes successful or not, you're making an assumption that 50-60% of the transactions are going to be gambling (it is quite common for initial business plans to fail because of wrong assumptions).

I agree that Dapps are an interesting concept.

You should definitely look into it and possibly add it into your development plan (if Rootstock is already ready for something like this). Decentralized gambling in Bitcoin would be a huge benefit considering the risks involved in a centralized gambling industry. The ICO will surely be able to fund such an expansion.

I've done some research into the project, and while it seems very promising (as it decentralizes a big and centralized part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem) there are a few things that were poorly laid out. If you take a look at the Business plan, here are two example claims:
There is no source listed for this.

This is a very hard assumption that was made in the business plan, one which could quite *easily* backfire.

I'm not sure why the Whitepaper uses built in links instead of listing sources? I was also interested in whether there were any plans to also bring this to Bitcoin via a smart contract platform such as Rootstock?

It is really nice to see the whole smart contract thing being implemented in a fashion like this.    As I only have a basic understanding of ETH smart contracts, I never knew gambling with them was a possibility.   It opens up a whole new realm of options for crypto based gambling businesses, especially ones that choose to use ETH.

Thanks! I tried transferring currency with shapeshift.io and it works like a charm! One thing I haven't tested yet is sending back currency through the address that was generated. For example, if I was to change BTC -> ETH and after I gamble, it would send back the ETH to the original ETH address I had, but would that ETH address necessarily be linked to my BTC? Is there an option on your website where I could change the destinated address where I would receive my funds?

vDice set a record, and will be completely sold out in 1 minute

I think the good thing about this campaign is the cap, there is no need to waste time on ICO once your cap has been reached, SNGLs and Firstblood proof that, once people believe in your project they will put it in their plan and invest. I wish you guys the best

Plan - 7500000$ I think big boys will buy a large percentage of tokens (70%-90%). They bought all tokens of singular and first blood. Firstblood sold out in 3 minutes. Singular sold out in 13 minutes. These projects wanted to get  7500000$ like  Vdice

So does that mean the total coin supply could be less than 96 million?

I think, Ico will success... How many BTC will collected ( must will be collected on a plan) ?

Don't need to wait for the launch. You can play now!

The game works and is live:- https://www.vdice.io

wow its very cool, await to the launch, want to play

Thanks for the compliment. Our developers work super hard.

If you want to instantly change from BTC > ETH, shapeshift.io is the easiest.

We have built the world's 1st LIVE, FULLY Decentralized Gambling Platform.

Basically, all gambling games are built on some database.

There are 2 types of gambling games:

1). Non-Blockchain (Central Database) Gambling.

It works the same as an exchange service.

You send your ETH to the game owners.
They record your ETH balance in their own database.

You have to trust the people who run the game.

2). Blockchain Gambling (Decentralised).

At vDice.io our games use the Ethereum blockchain as the database.
So there are no accounts. We NEVER touch your money.

Instead, you play directly from your own wallet.
You send ETH directly to the Smart Contract, on the Ethereum blockchain.

The Smart Contract processes the bet, and returns the win directly to your wallet.

You only have to trust the Smart Contract.
