Hey FairProof,

Please address my posts below. 

Has anyone sent coins to FairProof.com?  I sent them some coins and they "vanished."  I have emailed customer support several times and it takes them 1 to 3 days to get back to me.  Their customer service is terrible. 

I think they link your account to you IP address and drop a cookie in your browser.  They also give you a link to use so you can access your account without logging in.  I used the link they gave me but my account still has a zero balance.  I send them the link but they are telling me that's the wrong link and the money is sitting in my account.  So I guess the money is lost forever?

Is anyone else having issues?

So I've been dealing with customer service for over a week now and they seem useless.  It appears as if they don't have a real customer service team.  It's probably one of their employees who responds to customers when he has some free time.  I am not saying FairProof.com or FairProof is a scam or a ponzi scheme, however I would be extremely weary of sending them any Bitcoins.  They might vanish like mine did.

I've specially registered in bitcointalk to claim fairproof as a scam.
I'v been playing fairproof for about a months, and won about 15 BTC during October. I've even made a couple successful withdrawal.
Yesterday I've bet 1 BTC that the number would be bigger than 98 and the number was 99!!!
I was extremely surprised.
According to the site, I should get 98.1 BTC. But now I can not withdraw funds. After i press proceed button I get connection error message.
But my game is even on the front page "5 big lucks":

I've sent a message via feedback form but still have no response.
Is there another successful winners, because there a lot of big wins everyday? Do you manage to withdraw your funds?

You have two threads open - this one and https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fairproof-the-simplest-provably-fair-bitcoin-lottery-19-house-fee-286972

You might want to close one of them.

Yes. I've just noticed and locked another topic.
Apparently it was moved from another thread by a moderator.

Game updates:

- house edge is reduced to 1.9%
- improved game mechanics: do multiple bets in one click
- now you can set your own client seed
- small bugs are fixed

Yeah, thanks for the huge house edge reduce, but can you further reduce it to 1%?

Or you could reduce it even further to 0.5% :-)

I'll make the changes so user would be able to set his own client seed.
Also house edge will be lowered.

Thank you for the feedback!

Lower the house edge to 0.1%, you will have the best house edge ;-)

How do you change the client seed?
Randomize function changes both seeds: server and client.
You can do randomize multiple times.

What do you mean by server and client seeds and hashing speed? How does it apply to your site and why does it make your site fair in your opinion?

7% house bet for min. bet, a bit too much.

If you can not set your own seed, this is not fair.

But I cannot pick my own user seed, that is the issue.

Also, why the 7% edge ?

If you can set a user seed, than you'll get a number beforehand.

According to calculations, 7% is a minimum profitability edge.
Go look at Just-Dice. They're profitable with 1% edge...7% min my ass. Its all about making your maximum wagers fit your bankroll, such as 1% max profit of your bankroll.

I can spout off 10+ BTC provably fair gambling sites with <5% house edge that have been VERY profitable for the owners.

Usability means nothing, what matters is the house edge. With your 5% or more edge, you'll be lucky to still be around in a couple weeks. No one will use your site with edges of .50% to 2% available, who cares about the graphics which such a huge difference. If I spend $1,000,000 on just-dice for example, I expect to lose $10,000. If I play on your site, I expect to lose $50,000. $40,000 difference? Yeah I'll take the unappealing just-dice layout over a fancy site anyday. And take my $40,000 savings and buy a new car.

Another lotto..

I feel like these have become some what a lost cause with opportunities to simply bet on SD addresses with high payouts or the higher PrimeDice & Just-Dice multipliers.

Best of luck none the less!
Tnank you!

Usability of mentioned games leaves much to be desired, so I wanted to make the simplest and user-friendly lottery/dice game.
