No buddy, you have missed something ..



And 750,000,000th roll did fall on 24th. That is all there is to it.



...You need to a total deposit of minimum 0.05BTC and a total wager of minimum  0.1BTC to enter...

FTFY, or would you also disqualify someone if they deposited 0.069 BTC and wagered 0.1337 BTC . Wouldn't surprise me 

Reminder:

Da Dice is giving away 2BTC in prizes! 24 winners. The best guess gets 0.5BTC, no strings attached.

You need to a total deposit of 0.05BTC and a total wager of 0.1BTC to enter. You can check your stats here : https://stats.dadice.com/

Actually, in my opinion, it is unnecessary. If you think of every possible scenario, as I said, it will end up looking like the Terms and Conditions ot Privacy policy of a major company. If that is the case, all sites holding contest around here might need to hire someone just to write things up.

Usually when contests are held, at least around here, there are too many conditions that are left unsaid where it neither possible nor faesible to account for everything. It is always left for a reasonable and fair interpretation if complications do arise. For instance, all contests can remove or disqualify a participant or entry if he/she is found to be abusing the contest, even if such is not explicitly stated in the OP.

Just my opinion.

What bounty? the new 1,000,000 bounty just started and you can predict it at the prediction thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/01-btc-dadice-bounty-prediction-996260 and some new bounty to predict the bet number at 1,000,000 too if you look in here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-da-dice-roll-prediction-contest-2-btc-in-prizes-results-announced-1156642 but the bet prediction need 0.05 deposit and 0.1 wager to enter

is bounty still on?

Yeah I think they need that so people wont be angry anymore if there is downtime. Even if there is downtime, they deduct the downtime so there is no manipulation like some people accuse, they can only do a manipulation if they dont deduct the downtime and the downtime is because some hack so it is normal

Hope there will be no downtime till the 1 billionth roll hit, and I think you need an extra notes just in case if there is a downtime like few days ago. Just to prevent a complain from the participant.. 

They already do this and please read before you post




They are not maniplating anything with the downtime, if there is no downtime then the roll will still be that day and they still deduct the hour of downtime so that there is no manipulation . If they dont deduct the downtime then there is manipulation but they did it

I have a suggest for the future : stop giveaway to bet predict of roll 

pay only a bonus for the player roll the bet number xxx

I hope your are aware that you are calling respected members of this community a shill !!! Look who won the prediction. Secondly, it was here in this very thread discussed with the community, as well as in our chat what we will do. It was the call of the community to deduct the downtime - not my decision.

From a business point of view we would have saved money if we've declared the 24th the correct date.


And you must have missed, that we have indeed paid 0.1 each to three individuals for their correct prediction. Check the blockchain, it is all there, among them a Hero member from bitcointalk: boopy265420 whom Quickseller calls a shill !!!

LOL, your argument is something like : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12145466 only far less credible.






Downtime deducted would be fair. As I already said, it is quite unfair to deny the person who predicted the correct date. Da Dice has control over when the site can be up, so the concept of fairness would require that Da Dice should deduct the downtime. It is pretty obvious.
Also explains why he waited for the winner to be announced before making the point. If he wanted it to be handled properly he should have done so when it was announced. His points lose all credibility by now.

You really can't expect someone to think it all out, consider all possible scenarios, however unlikely that may be, for conducting a simple contest. Am sure, it would be too bulky that none of you would bother to read it.
Do you want the OP of a contest thread to be something like the Privacy Policy of Google

I am pretty sure that if Da Dice haven't done so, you would be arguing against.
I feel I shouldn't have argued against you two. Tired of stating obvious things. Wouldn't bother to do it again.

@ajareselde:

Surely you see that what you're proposing would only lead to unanswerable accusations of manipulation.  As has been said above, dadice was doing an investigation and could bring the site back online at any moment.  If they wanted to wait one more day or one less day and this was going to affect the outcome of the contest, surely you see how that means they can directly pick the winners.  On the other hand, if you deduct the downtime then the contest proceeds exactly as if there is no downtime.

Try this, restate the contest another way.  Instead of saying "tell me the date of the 750millionth roll", what if they had said "tell me the number of 24 hour periods of playtime it will take to hit the 750millionth roll".  I think most people would agree that under normal circumstances those two contests would be functionally equivalent but the latter one would be much more tedious to play.  But in spirit, they are the same thing.  The idea of the contest was to predict how much playtime would pass.  Clearly if the site is down, no playtime is elapsing.

Anyway, we can understand that you wish you won (I wish I had one too).  But your idea that they should go by the calendar date and not take anything else into consideration is a little short-sited, I think, given the fact that that would essentially mean that dadice could look at the list of particpants and choose the winner by hand.

On the other hand, I will say this, contests like this are supposed to be fun and enjoyable and promote the site.  I think if I were dadice I would have probably just doubled the prize money (pay both the downtime deducted winners and the calendar winners).  I would have done this because it would have been an opportunity to change a bad vibe (lots of downtime) into a good vibe (extra winners).  However, I don't think they would do this now because  clearly they can't just start paying people for making a fuss.

Anyway, I think if you look carefully at the matter you'll see that short of paying everyone, what they chose to do was the best option.  Maybe you'll have good karma from this and win a contest soon, ajareselde.

Cheers!

It's funny to see dice site desperate not to pay up.
I'm just not a person that stays silent when i believe i was wronged, which i believe i was.

Read the op here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11994350 and first reply, now add the fact that i was right on the date and you will understand my point,
unless you're a their shill as well.


Exactly my point. But seams like they don't take their words seriously enough.
 

I am not sure how they can argue that downtime being deducted would be fair. There was no term in their contest that downtime would be deducted so it should be fair to expect that it would not be.

The fact that they control the speed of rolls mean that by slowing down or speeding up rolls just a little bit mean that it would be easy to manipulate who the winner is.

No other reasons except because of his own prediction (24th August), so he hope he win the bounty prediction and blame the downtime without reading previous discussion about the time deduction.
I guess if he did not predict 24th August, he would not so angry..

Im funny to see someone so desperate to win that 0.1 bitcoin. It has been said that the downtime will be deduct to ensure fairness. It has been said like since the first downtime and not something that is make up to cover the downtime also that the prediction is very way off if there is no downtime, very funny someone is angry because of this thing

You can join that ^ competition. It is the prediction contest on what the result of the 1 billionth roll would be. Not when it will happen.
