Effectively, on bustadice, you have to pay 10% to even be able to invest (which should be covered by people who invest after you, but that's another topic)...
This only works in theory. If everyone is deterred by the 10 % dilution fee, there are no new investors (or only 1-2 odd investments by people, who
don´t know or don´t care).
I concede though that RHavar is right, the limiting factor is not really investments at the moment and
the bankroll is probably big enough.

well, thank you for clearing that up for me. i still think that is a high fee for investor to exit.

The dilution fee is not charged when you divest. It is charged at the start of your investment. What
you are talking about would be a divestment fee (I admit that I originally thought the same as evidenced
by a post in this thread a few weeks ago
).
but yeah 10% of what you invested doesn't sound right. plus investors are -50btc now. so you lose btc on investing and then lose 10% of your remaining funds.
Just so it's clear, the 10% fee goes to the investors (as opposed to the site). So the investors who are at a loss are the ones who benefit from any dilution they are getting.
Imagine on a site without a dilution fee: a whale starts playing, wins a lot from the bankroll, new investors see the good volume and decide to invest. Then the whale busts, and the site profit is at 0. Well the original investors would actually be a loss.
On one hand I'd am starting to think the 10% fee might be a bit too high, but on the other hand the limiting factor that bustadice has right now is players not investors. Having a bankroll bigger than strictly necessary is a really liability. So if I'm being honest, I think with the current volume and size of the bankroll bustadice has it's not worth investing in. But that's not a problem per se, it's a casino not a ponzi =)
As I said I actually do like the general idea of the dilution fee. I just think 10 % is way too high and the investors, who were able to take advantage of the
intial period where you waived the dilution fee are at a disproportionate advantage (which is not necessarily a bad thing, because they might
as well be rewarded for their initial trust and funding of the bankroll).
