Any help and/or info will be appreciated.

We will need more details if you want a help:

- how your system was working with the blockchain.info api
- was the main wallet also a blockchain.info wallet?
- if so, do your main blcokchain.info wallet had any alias and was the password used by you on the wallet unique?

By the way, CoinGames was recently hacked. Losing just over 4 BTC (thank goodness we were still in Beta!).

We are trying to find out who, and more importantly, how they did it. Any help would be appreciated.

How do you plan to receive any help regarding the part "how they did it" ? So far you didn't manage to explain how the results were made (all you said the player had x% chance to win, but what method did you use ?), so it seems unlikely that you can explain how your entire code works (or how it doesn't work, since you were hacked).

To properly figure out "how they did it", you will mostly likely need to open source your code and hope someone looks at it. If you are not planning to do that, I predict that at best you will get irrelevant comments. So let me start with a comment that might very well be irrelevant: how did you protect the wallet's password ? how did you protect your servers ? do you run any kind of SQL database and can I query it through your site ? ...

We are trying to find out who, and more importantly, how they did it. Any help would be appreciated.

We do know that the Bitcoin address that the coins were sent to is:  

Hacker https://blockchain.info/address/16oP8up3f8ePer1vfBPhypRqkUnsA9ZfYM

As you can see, they seem to have run off with almost 420 BTC, of which 4.18 BTC belonged to CoinGames.

So if anybody else has been a victim, or knows the owner of this address, let us know:
16oP8up3f8ePer1vfBPhypRqkUnsA9ZfYM

But much more importantly, we want to know how. We were using the blockchain wallet and API, which is supposedly quite safe. I understand there have recently been some security issues with Android wallets, due to the Android faulty RNG, however this is the first I hear of problems with the online blockchain wallet.

Any help and/or info will be appreciated.

Does the animation actually have anything to do with the results? Because it lands on the same one every time.

It's just a random gif. The result gets calculated somehow per transaction but the person running this still did not explain HOW this is done.

Some kind of provably fair thing would be great.

It's just a simple odds/dice game. It is not a game of skill. The animation is irrelevant to the actual result. Each time you bet we generate a random result where you have 0.48 probability of winning and get paid your bet amount x2 when you win. In other words, house edge is 2%.

We are working on the provably fair thing, new games and lots of fun stuff.

From August 4th house edge will be 2%. In other words odds will be 0.48 to win and payout x2.

We will notify here and in our FAQ of any changes.

To be honest, I cant find the transaction Id,  I send a lot of small transaction so Its almost impossible for me to find.  We will just say I lost.  I like the Idea of you game and will play again in a few days. Hope I have better luck.

Thanks for the response

I'll tell you what... I have just sent you BTC0.02 to 1H7E7YqMoWQZsUCumbvyASYJzpnz3dudaB as a gift!

I hope to see you back playing CoinGames soon.  Smiley

Pretty sure I got jacked for BTC0.02. Nothin happened waited a while now I can find my txid. It didn't show weather I won or lost. Also Could be on the deposit screen, Whats up with the block chain link.

Any who my feed back, Better Clarified Deposit Addresses and A better notification for win or lose.

Again I may be stupid and will prolly try again sometime

If you tell us the address that you made the bet from, we will id your bet and check for you. We will definitely send you those 0.02 if you won and didn't get them (that shouldn't happen).

Results are instant.. but you have to refresh the page to update the results table (we will fix that). The link to blockchain is also a bit messy, we'll do something about that...

Thanks for the feedback!

What is the maximum allowed bet ?

Right now the maximum payout is whatever is in the betting addresses. So you should not bet more than that.

In general, while we are in testing, I would not recommend any bets larger than BTC0.25


From our FAQ:

Quote
3. Is there a max/min bet? At present we are in testing mode and there is no max/min bet. However we recommend that you exercise common sense and make only small bets until you see how it works. It is also sensible to check out the balance in the betting addresses: never bet more than that since that is where your winnings will come from!

Just tell us how you are calculating if a TX-id wins or loses and I will consider playing your game.

Sure. As soon as it is fixed we will make it public. Right now we don't want to commit because we are in beta and might change it all tomorrow or next week. I understand if you don't want to play under these conditions. Hopefully you will be more amenable once we come out of testing.

Although... it's not like I'm asking you to bet huge sums on unknown odds! I'm just asking you to try it with an insignificant sum, like BTC0.000001, to help us test our systems.
