Odd that satoshiDICE is down too...
So I'm not sure what happened yet, but it looks like diceoncrack.com was caught in a major blockchain reorg, either due to a split or a double spend attack.
I initially believed it was an attack as the rolled back transactions were almost all on the lost wagers, but a closer look made me realize the rolled back tx for winning bets not only existed, but they actually were of a total value of close to the lost wager ones. If it was an attack, it didn't go too well.
We have a few protections against the double spends but there's only so much you can do when accepting 0 confirmation tx, so for now and until I get to the bottom of this bets are processed immediately but only paid out when there's at least 1 confirmation on them, sorry for the hassle.
