Regrettably MoneyPot.com is now for auction. If anyone is interested, please see the terms here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/auction-moneypotcom-is-for-sale-818014

For players, I will be personally guaranteeing all existing balance for a period of 6 months against new owner misconduct -- so play on!

This sounds pretty inconsistent with what you said earlier today about this site being a "long term investment":

For the long term stability of the site, I've been giving an upwards of ~80% of my profit in giveaways and recomps.

I'm assuming something unforeseen came up recently that is prompting this sale, since it seemed like the site was just beginning to take off. Care to share or is it a private matter?

  * There is no "math db", the house edge is determined by a single line of code

Hey everyone, the site's gonna be down for a few hours while I import some more math into my math db.

It's low on math.

I'm also adding an index to the `input` column of my sha256_hashes table which should speed things† up.

† The math
So do you have two accounts or whats going on here?

That was someone being "funny." The only updates you'll see that are official in any way will come from espringe's account.

In the chatbox, 'I' looks like 'l'.

I wouldn't be surprised if the house edge is more than 10%.

It's pretty obvious when copy/pasted to the forum because 'I' and 'l' look pretty different here, but in the moneypot chatbox font they're hard to tell apart. Checking the troll's stats would have shown that he's not me of course - also the fact that his chat isn't blue.

There's also no private message command, I don't work for Eric, and I don't rig bets. I'm also very rarely awake at 5am...

I would be very surprised if the house edge didn't range from 0% to 1% based on the multiplier you cash out at.

Considering the current profit margin is 0.42%, I'd say you're off by a factor of 24.

Eric pm?
@Cod3r when the site was on heroku dooglus was given access
Eric needs to come here and help us eliminate that possiblity
so he could verify that the deployed code matches the code on github
Dooglus used to own 40% shares of this site
and you can audit the code on github yourself
he cannot be trusted
dooglus managed 60k BTC for investors
without issues
It doesnt neccessarily mean he won't cover for Eric
well yeah, you can't prove that a person behaves as expected Tongue
if you mean that
\PrivateMsg Eric Eric I have the new math db - its ready to deploy when you want. Higher frequency low crashes, I modded it so the players shouldnt notice it too much - but our edge will be between 11-12% factoring our player bots. Is that math ok with you?
shit
i wonder why the site is allowing Dooglus and dooglus
Holy shit
is eric on?
Is this legit?
why am i not blue
steve?
because you're not dooglus
my private msg command fucked
lol
calling eric
interesting...
https://www.moneypot.com/user/DoogIus
huh
wut
all of the user pages are broken
I'm leaving. I have a lot of work to do
my account isnt displaying right im not modded and eric isnt answering - if he shows up steve have him call me please jesus
wait
why is only cod3r's and Dooglus' accounts not showing up
because they haven't played yet
ic ic
Dooglus, are you a troll?
obviously
Can you prove that the damning msg is legit?
it's not
steve said he's not the real dooglus

Wtf...

You've got to be a special kind of stupid to think this is legit. Was this really worth posting? The fake name didn't tip it off? Or the logic fail that the house edge could go from 1% to "11-12%" without people noticing?

Really? Really?

 I was gonna say must be an extremely drunk version of him that pulls a trollish prank like this, but..lol, nope, upon closer inspection you can easily tell here his name is DoogIus aka w/ an 'i' instead of an 'L' so yea. Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be THAT surprised if something was a little sketchy in the commits / swapped over time or maybe the hash/seed/secret, especially when higher rolls you know, I'm just saying it's not impossible..although anecdotally, BruteForce did spend hours betting 1M bits every game last night and rolls did not seem out of the ordinary, so.. =/

But that being said, 11-12% is ginormous enough to make me think this was just a joke Wink

Yeah, he spammed negative things about Eric in the chatbox and then got muted for 200days by a moderator Cheesy

I wouldn't be surprised if his claims re Eric's code were turned out to be true. The game is dodgy as fuck, if you ask me. How do we tell if the code that we see on his github account is the same as the one that is deployed on his server? Just be extra careful when playing with BTC coins.

Bruteforce lost all of his 1M bits at the end? o.o

Why I cannot access the website this day? whats a problem? help me please  Roll Eyes

Heroku has suspended their service. Read the following for details. But the site is back up already now. Smiley

Ok everyone! We're back up, there's been no dataloss or any other known issues.


If heroku suspended you, I guess that a competitor is paying someone to do everything he can bringing your website down.

That's correct, heroku did suspend me. Just flipped a kill-switch, then sent me an email:

They contacted Amazon first, chances were against them that contacting Amazon would cause any damage. Amazon always warns their costumers before denying their services to them.
That's also correct. Amazon was good enough to give me a heads up, and allow the smooth migration away from their services



Anyone got any suggestions for a trustworthy, reliable hosting place -- that won't shut me down if some asshat complains I'm running a gambling site on it?

The problem with asking for suggestions like this is that you get suggestions from people recommending their own service because they know they'll be able to tail your logfiles and cheat you...
