It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye
Once the price falls to where it belongs (about a 90% haircut all-in-all, I wager, before staging a small recovery)

Are you serious?

Based on what rational/calculation do you come at this number?



I think it seems rational to want to buy something for only 10% of the price, and then sell it for more later  Cool

1) Leave US access open, continue collecting that revenue, and maintain exposure to tail-risk shut-down event.
or
2) Block US IP access to the website, and greatly reduce the catastrophic tail risk.

I understand the sentiment here is negative. I would encourage everyone involved in Bitcoin to start playing the long game, and I'll leave it at that.


Your investment in legal counsel the past months shows beautifully Smiley  The legal uncertainty was extreme for satoshi dice and you have now considerably reduced that. Another great move Erik.


Ofcourse my sympathies to everyone that took a loss on the value of their shares. That's never fun.  

True there is a risk for slower growth, but better to risk slower growth than risk sudden death!

I think Satoshi Dice became a much better investment today. Much more legal certainty and better valued.

If people in the US do not like this, then they should be working to get rid of the freedom-crushing laws which caused this action to be taken.

Blocking is for the website only though, right? So, if you are in the US, get a list of addresses and continue to use it, am I wrong? Or for crying out loud, use a VPN service? Am I the only one that uses private internet access? I don't want my ISP recording EVERYTHING I do to hand over to the US whenever they want it. I break no laws, but that doesn't mean that I should just allow them to have anything they want about me.

No I completely agree, this was necessary and playing the "long game" is indeed the best way to drive total adoption.

In the long run, this actually makes S.DICE a more attractive investment by removing risk. Once the price falls to where it belongs (about a 90% haircut all-in-all, I wager, before staging a small recovery) I might think about throwing some serious money at it. There are still a lot of issues with the platform though, which need to be resolved. Kudos for taking a great first step though! I'll keep my eye on it.

But... SatoshiDice is an address-based business. You don't even need a homepage to bet, only a list of the bet's addresses. The current homepage only acts as a summary of stats and a commercial front.

It should be trivial to put an online list of addresses that serves as a quasi-perfect mirror.

Correct me if I'm wrong!

The best way to limit legal risk for SatoshiDice, and thereby protect its stakeholders, is to block US players.

OK, but is it in any way possible to block US players?  How can you even tell where a bet transaction comes from?

You can block them from reading your website but I don't think you can block them from playing.

Ah ha ha.

Bitcoin is the SUPERMAN of currency!  It can't be blocked by mere mortals.
SatoshiDice can't block US customers any more than it can block customers who have red cars parked in their garage.


More I read the comments more my own suspicion that the account got hacked increases no other confirmations but the bitcointalk thread
But waits too
