So can somebody explain to me, how come that the bets kept on flowing even with the domain down (that's a fact, right?)? DNS caching? Are there alternative routes to using this service besides satoshidice.com?

Why the **** is the domain name unregistered?
I am ****ing livid right now (as an investor).
This is inexcusable.

Without the CEO watching over it is possible that one day someone figures out how to beat the game and bankrupt the company. I think we are not heading the right way with the domain being in a questionable state, gentlemen...

Eric (and everyone else who hosts something), just do it now, put your certificates and domain expiry dates into your calendar with an alert about 1 or 2 weeks before expiry.
Or ... you know just set your $1m+ annual revenue website's domain to auto-renew, which is offered by virtually any domain registrar. Or heck, spend 0.000001% of your profit, and pre-buy your domain registration for 10 years.
+1
+ another or two
lol. What's wrong with registering for multiple years. SEO likes that fact. Stick it on 10 years if you're in it for the long haul. It transfers out if you sell it. And stick it on auto renew.
Besides the fact that your regsitrar has been bugging you by email for months begging you to renew.

Same here. Domain is back but server is extremely slow. Eventually loaded though.
April 19, 2013, 07:04:53 AM
is it just my dns cache or the domain is back ?
I can now resolve the right address to the server, although it's showing mysql is unreachable.

So in other words now is a good time to invest? 
Invest in a company where the management lets a domain lapse and doesn't even pop into the one of the most active threads on BitcoinTalk to explain as a courtesy? Hmmm

S.DICE dividends will probably be higher this month thanks to my 100+ BTC loss
Your loss would be immaterial to the earnings. From the blockchain analysis it looks like there have been about 1.2m BTC bet and about 19k net income due to bad luck of about 1.75% which is below the 1.9% house edge. The dividend will likely be around .00019 per share with the retained earnings increasing to about 46k BTC.
Based on my earlier analysis on 4 Jan where I predicted the price moving from .0048 to .0075 quickly and it happened within a month, it seems that SD shares are currently significantly undervalued.
Of course, after dividends are paid there will likely be a bunch reinvested into more shares.

We've been considering the compressed keys for a while now. We have some slight security hesitations, but I believe we will be implementing this eventually, if not for the main addresses then for every new address we'll be creating (and this will be more relevant due to other developments we have in mind...). It's possible we'll do it for the main addresses as well.
We would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to drop the messaging micropayments and use real messages. We'll absolutely integrate this, and if I can offer some funds to help with that development, I will. I've told Gavin that SD is willing to fund worthy dev projects and have encouraged him to reach out to me if he comes across such a thing.
The messaging potential of Bitcoin is an excellent solution to the SD dust problem, and I'll do whatever I can to assist with that.

I can only hope the domain wasn't renewed on purpose, considering the supposed dev work that may have been happening.
Re-branding of the website?
It would still be considered unprofessional to do that without some kind of heads up message before it happened.

I was looking at the blockchain.info, bets were pouring in like nothing happened,
satoshidice.com is yet another front-end, although it's humungously fuck up, forgetting the renewal.
Government can take the domain down, the service will still live. It is DDOS resistance at no cost.

This is a very important point on business relisency. Still utter negligence to let a domain expire though. Very unprofessional.
April 19, 2013, 12:11:15 AM
maybe Eric's lawyer recommended him not to renew the domain registration
April 18, 2013, 11:34:32 PM
Nope, it expired, just needs to be renewed.
April 18, 2013, 10:51:10 PM
Did someone else buy the domain? domain squatters?

They should to keep creating front-ends over different channels, like IRC, phone apps, a few new http sites, buy out the clones if any gets traction, make their own wallet apps, basically advertise those 1dice addresses all over, not just satoshidice.com .

maybe they need to buy some cheap shares back 
April 18, 2013, 09:51:21 PM
@romerun,
Not sure if serious...
What he means to say is that you don't need the website to make bets on SDICE. There are still transactions being processed on the 1dice addresses. Not sure if serious...
