How about revealing your identity to a trustworthy third-party source? You basically skipped over my entire post and left out all the important details. Regarding the cold wallet, why not let Dooglus behind the curtains and see user stats/server seeds to protect against the site owners using that to their advantage? There are lots of ways around your problems yet you insist '(We) came to a conclusion which we are happy with, and that involves holding our own coins'
I'm sure you are happy with that decision. It is the same decision a person who intends to run off with coins would make, and that is my point. I could be COMPLETELY wrong. Maybe this site becomes amazing and the day it shuts down repays 100% of coins. I'm also not saying you are a scammer or accusing you of anything - I am only pointing out from a scammer's perspective I would do the exact same thing you are doing now. There is a precedent set in this market that someone who comes along with great software and seems to be active/trustworthy after just-dice has almost always turned out to be a scam.
You've got a great site idea. If you intend to forever be truthful and honest, and you intend to run this business for profit, an endorsement from Dooglus and a multisig cold wallet would exponentially increase the money going into your pocket. If you want to be stubborn/naive about it, then it is not only hurting your bottom line, but it also makes you look really bad. You chose to come into this market, and because of the nefarious acts of owners before you, there should be certain rules in place for people to trust their money to these new sites that pop up.
I wish you nothing but the best, but my only interest is the security of people's money. I hope I am wrong about you.
I'm not staff but I am the current top investor. So this response is purely my opinion and is in no way the official response of Diggit.
I respect CryptoFuture's decision to not trust unknown community members with the $250k+ bankroll or his personal information. "Escrowing" the cold wallet, multisig or not, poses many issues while not actually protecting the bankroll from theft. A number of things could go wrong, including but not limited to the trusted member going AWOL (which would result in frozen coins). It would also make the deposit/withdrawal process at least 50x slower, with every win larger than the hot wallet requiring manual processing by a second person. Like Crypto said, it would still be theoretically possible for him to act like a lucky player and walk away with false winnings -- escrowing cannot not prevent this. Giving somebody else the authority to read the secret server seeds would not address this vulnerability; it would only increase it.
In regards to the stats, user statistics are already public and so is game history. I believe it is possible to iterate through every past game ID to ensure that each is correctly provably fair and in line with the edge.
If you are concerned about the trustworthiness of this site, I urge you to not deposit into Diggit. Instead, come back in 6 months when CryptoFuture has gained a reputation of his own in the community.
I totally agree with you, that escrowing the cold wallted would actually cause more problems than it would solve. But i am not entirely sure whether someone can build a solid reputation in a year let alone 6 months.
It is obvious that no1 would scam just after launching the site simply because there is not much to scam anways. After half a year tho with them potentially having hundreds of btc invested in their site the situation will be different, especially when they realise it could take them years to make the money legitimately they could just run off with at this point.
I am not at all saying diggit.io is a scam. That's just my opinion on invest sites.
