So in many ways, you tend to see volume go up when players are lucky, and volume go down when players are unlucky Cheesy

And since the house edge on bustabit is lower than on primedice players on average are able to bet more on bustabit than on primedice with the same size deposit before going bust.

Serious question, is there anything specific contributing to the recent growth of bustabit? It's always been a great site, but it seems like it's had a nice little spike over the past couple weeks/months.

Yeah, the main reason is that a few whales won a lot of money (alexy, THREATT721, kapi18wro (and more?) all won a sizeable amount), so then they tend to churn over their winnings pretty hard, which is where all the volume is coming from.


For example: if someone deposits 1 BTC, if they get unlucky they might only contribute 1 BTC to the amount wagered (i.e. lose it on their first bet). But if they get lucky at the start, they very well might be able to turn over that 1 BTC a few hundred (!) times.

Correct Horse Battery Staple?

Oh sorry, that link already mentions that all too famous comic strip. I like that. It's a reminder to me that it's both hard and easy.

I just stick with 32 character alphanumeric passwords for most accounts. I don't really like passwords or passphrases with _spaces_ in them, but that's just a personal preference.

It's generated client side so more advanced users can still pick their own :-)

Yup, that's by design. But even still the server does do some basic sanity checking. e.g. You can't pick 'password' as your password.

Quote
I suggest you make the client side generator 4 English words from this wordlist: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt

It will be a similar amount of entropy as your generator (~44bits along with reCAPTCHA) but much easier to remember and write down.  

http://preshing.com/20110811/xkcd-password-generator/

I was thinking about that, but the primary problem is that it looks easy to remember. For instance the password I got: "wolf curve arrow wing", which looks easy enough to remember, so I'm probably not going to write it down. But unless I use it every day, it's something that I will forgot.

Edit:
You can even get by on just 3 words (33bits) since this will be 8.5 billion combinations.  Cost to solve 1000 google reCAPTCHAs ~ $0.80 cents. And no one has $6 million USD in their bustabit account to be targeted.

The long term goal is to actually remove the recaptcha (although still have a sort of fail2ban) completely =)

From now on, users will no longer be able to pick their own password. The site is going to generate you something nice and secure, which you can write down.

 No matter how much I tried, users kept reusing passwords and it was a never-ending war trying to prevent accounts being hacked (there's sites like leakedsource which have millions of peoples reused passwords).

Old passwords are still valid, although I'd encourage everyone who didn't use a password manager to randomly generate one to change it.

I apologize in advance about the inconvenience, and if you're prone to losing your password please make sure to set a recovery email.

@RHavar , i have my custom code running on bustabit , but i would like to find a way to set my basebet to like 10% of my bankrool.

Can you help me with this.

engine.getBalance() is your balance, so in your case, you'd want to set your base bet to engine.getBalance()/10 in the setup or every time you loop. Good luck and have fun!

So this will be like this:
Code:
var baseBet     =   engine.getBalance()/10,

Correct?

Yes, but make sure to put that code in the loop as well, so that it updates what 10% is everytime you win, not just in the initial setup. (Put it in the if the last game was won section.)

Thanks a lot.

You just need to stop your custom code, edit it to make whatever changes you want, then start it again.
