I have no idea why would people be willing to invest in a site run by a person like him.

People invested in a site run by a person like me. It's only a small stretch from there to imagine them investing in a site run by a person like him. Smiley
I think you were the reason (or at least your reputation) they were able to get so many people to invest in them. You had run JD so well and for such a long time that people almost assumed that someone running a dice site as DB with few issues for a short period would automatically be trustworthy.

They had a good sized bankroll prior to you getting involved (although this may have been "fake" aka their own money) and their large bankroll attracted others to want to join

EDIT: the solution would be to reopen JD

EDIT2: roughly how much were you able to make from running JD? I am sure it was enough so that it would be worth it to leave Canada

i said over and over, I had no idea why anyone would be investing with such a new dice site, to the tune of 7000 BTC.  Guess I was right to be skeptical.
dooglus basically endorsed it in his signature.
Don't blame one guy...

No, I wouldn't BLAME dooglus, but I would wonder why he got behind this site so quickly before it had much of a track record.  He always seemed smarter than that.

I was looking for a reputable dice site to get behind. I didn't want to have to reopen Just-Dice, and looking around I couldn't see any decent dice sites. I tried PRCdice but the whole experience was horrible - it seems like the owner is an egotistical idiot - and so dicebitco.in was the best looking of the remaining alternatives.

It's a sad state of affairs, and I wish there was something better.

Talking about the egoistical idiot. There was no reason for a site owner to say this, but Dean had to:

Hey, Stunna, I don't know if Dicebitco.in is a scam or not, but you didn't pay me 0.005 BTC, and now you dare come here accusing someone of scamming? Sad

This is interesting, why he didn't pay you?

I don't know, I myself would like to hear the reasons from him...

There was a free giveaway for liking his FB page. I was a bit late, but then Stunna announced that there were still free slots available (since there were duplicate accounts), and right after that I did what I had been supposed to do, i.e. left a comment on his FB page, liked the message and the page (actually, my comment was the first after that announcement). As you can guess, I wasn't paid, and Stunna didn't deign a coherent answer why he hadn't paid me (maybe, he thought my FB account was fake)...



LOL! Grow up dude.. so you got "scammed" for your free coins? Go cry me a river please..

It would be something else if he didn't process a withdrawal from PD to a given address.

Lol and there are a lot of them here.

There are some interesting developments in this scam including a feeble rebuttal from DB:

I knew it was a scam ever since they started accepting "investors". No legitimate site would do that.

Then Just-Dice was not legit when it was accepting investors?

That's what I was wondering. I collected some 60,000 BTC from "investors" and gave it (almost*) all back.

* I still have a couple of hundred BTC from investors who haven't noticed that I shut the site down in June. I'm sure they'll notice some time.

Round 2 - quick summary here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9047784

tl;dr: A player noticed missing nonces and fake bets,  then was denied a 160+ BTC withdrawal.

User Profile: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/dicebitcoin-355700

The discussion starts around here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8715769    

Basic summary: A two part scam

Website was caught skipping nonces to rig rolls.  This would in effect allow them to maintain a 1% house edge profit for investors, thus attract more and more investments while allowing them to still skim the site investors of all legitimate profits made. Individual users such as stars have told me that they are owed 50+ coins.

Their defense:


They claim that a new rogue developer they hired was rigging the rolls to scam them but around 2 days before the incident there is proof of them saying that the only people involved are the original two: https://i.imgur.com/SJvuc1Q.png  (refutes their argument)

Example of one of the scams:

User stars was scammed 60+ coins according to Dooglus: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8721251



As a result of this around 4000-5000 coins have already been divested. 100s of coins are owed to people who placed wagers. They still appear to be honoring divestments though so I recommend divesting your funds for the time being.


Update 1: chat on dicebitcoin is now disabled and they are refusing to return a lot of owed funds.

Since this thread is used to give me negative trust by
Ah, trade fortress, the beacon of morality  Roll Eyes
I will post my arguments here.

I had coins invested with dicebitco.in and was able to completly divest and withdraw.
Manl and Gerry paid out everyone (to my knowledge) that lost coins.
Those that have not been paid out are those that won coins. I think that is acceptable as they have more than they had before the incident and thus did not lose anything. While you can argue that the rolls are deterministic the gamblers are not, thus it makes no sense to argue in hindsight if and what they players would have risked would the nounces not have been skipped.

I agreed to wear their signature for a months and I will honor my agreement.

He just took the site offline so it looks like he ran. Did people get BTC out of their accounts? Or was it kept.

What do you think about PRC?

Looks reliable, been there since a long time and the guy running made his name public (you can find his linkedin profile easiy)

Are you being serious? You have the site's signature already. Just posting this to get more traffic on site?
My Concern is that after DB I can't trust my investments. If I invest around 1 BTC then after site increases 1 BTC in profit , I just get 0.001. So Overall investing 3 BTC at prc I have been in loss. But even if I become profitabl its only 0.01 max over a month. And its better to invest the money in bank or just gamble that amount.
