Hard to call it in the future, but still, in a deflationary currency any %, even 0.0000001% is a good thing. I've heard calls for negative interest rates (which obviously can't work in practice, but you get the idea).

Can't really see rates THAT low being attractive.  Risk sets a lower-bound on the acceptable rate.  So for even a rate of 1% per year to be acceptable you have to be confident there's a less than 1%/year chance of default/failure for it to be better to invest than keep coins in cold storage.  At that rate you're already into the area where lack of a deadman's switch would be sufficient to make investment in something unattractive (average life-expectancy being under 100 years).

They didn't touch any $$ so for US is not gambling ? (i'm right ?)

Afaik this is correct.

The biggest risk for my in the next years is a BTC at +500$. Which would divide by 50 the revenue/volume (in fiat) since i bought the shares

If you're familiar with how bonds work, the valuating factor is demand not interest offered. If in the next years BTC is at 500+ it's conceivable that pure BTC revenue streams become a lot rarer and thus a lot more valuable. Hard to call it in the future, but still, in a deflationary currency any %, even 0.0000001% is a good thing. I've heard calls for negative interest rates (which obviously can't work in practice, but you get the idea).

Also Erik resides in US if I understand correctly

I seem to have read he is not US resident anymore, or on his way   *can't find the post after quick search so i'm not 100%


I noticed a change on his Facebook account, plus a few nice pictures of his new place. Inspiring, IMHO.

I experience gov shutdown as the biggest uncertainty/risk

With FINCEN, i thinks they're ok. They didn't touch any $$ so for US is not gambling ? (i'm right ?)

So someone won "lessthan 1" again.  Only the min bet this time, 0.01 BTC -> 640 BTC.  But that pretty much finishes off the profits for the month.

And SDICE might have a loss requiring a carryover.

What "say 0.038" are you on about?

[MPEX:S.DICE] 1D: 0.00320003 / 0.00433909 / 0.00559697 (56642 shares, 245.78 BTC), 7D: 0.00320003 / 0.00449755 / 0.0058822 (343788 shares, 1,546.21 BTC), 30D: 0.00300001 / 0.00587057 / 0.00673999 (2388432 shares, 14,021.48 BTC)

It is valued at 0.043 on the day's average (56k shares) or 0.0058 on the month's average (2.4mn shares).

What 0.043 are you on about?  Wink

I lost a zero because it looked like a donut and I ated it.  Undecided

Basic math was never really one of the forums strong points.

Are you counting since the ipo at 0.0064? It is valued now at say 0.038, so indeed that is about -40%.

I have the impression more has been bought than 1-2k btc volume. I estimate Havelock alone has bought more on mpex since the ipo of 0.0064 ?

What "IPO of 0.0064" are you on about? The asset page is here. Did you happen to ever look at it? Says quite clearly

How much capital does sdice have for that currently?

If you go by how much was actually raised so far through selling shares, about 50k BTC. If you go by how much could be raised by selling more shares who knows, probably a degree of magnitude more than that. There's another 60-70k that the site produced as total net revenue so far.

In other words: some guy winning half a million dollars on a lucky spin does not make a dent. There's fewer than half a dozen corps in Bitcoin that can make this sort of payout, and S.DICE is one of them. This is a big deal.

Edit: OK, I just noticed people lost a decimal point. Maybe I need to get a bigger monitor, it is easy to miss stuff like that especially in the smaller font of a quote block.

This bull will try to shake you off. Hold tight!
Think anyone with half a brain knows it's the expected profits that matter not the actual results (unless there's reason to believe double-spend or something is happening).  Of course that (people with a half a brain) is only a small minority of members here.

Looking at the charts - S.DICE lost about 40% off its peak on something like 1-2k BTC volume. That's less than 5% of the third party holdings, and probably a good estimate for about half the "small investors" that have access to it.

It could be that the smalltimers/shorttermers panicked already and left (at a discount - of course). The whales don't seem to be moving. On this theory the price will remain depressed while the longer term players absorb the short term players' holdings as cheaply as possible, after which trade freezes/price explodes because nobody's selling.

Just a theory, I like armchairing as much as the next gal.

If I were running SD, I'd seriously consider getting rid of the less than 1,2,4,8 bets.

The amount bet on these odds (thanks to the dooglus charts!) is so small compared to the approx. even money bets, but the
variance introduced is huge.

Unless the wins can be used for marketing and promotion...

In the long run yes, it is the expected profits that matter. But in the short run it is the actual results that determine the dividend payout, and those are not looking so good this month.

Right - which logically shouldn't lower the price by more than the difference the bad luck has made to this month's dividend.  Which is essentially no change given that the price trades in a band much wider than that every day anyway.

The rise in BTC vs USD price is a better reason for the price to drop really.  Not because there's any proven link between BTC price and S.DICE price - but because anyone holding S.DICE who believes BTC is in a bubble should likely sell the S.DICE and convert to USD then buy back in after the (what they believe to be) bubble collapses.  I don't subscribe to that theory myself, but at it has some logic to it.
