well, i placed four bets with some FC and was thereafter IP banned for "moving too fast"

 Huh

Are you user #530 ? From what I see you weren't banned due to placing bets, but due to an action that was performed "too fast" after doing a bet (joining a room in that case). These 'moving too fast' bans last only some minutes, you are no longer banned for that.

If you are not user #530, can you tell me your id ?

Sorry for the trouble.

Hello again,

I'm now experimenting with a game very similar to apopheniabtc, for those times when you get bored of dice. Here is what you will get by typing "/game" in the chat at https://ggdice.com.



The game has 5 stages, the images get progressively easier (but not necessarily easy) to guess. The relevant details are described inside the game (by clicking on that button at top right). You can download the game data at any point, and after the game ends you will be able to decrypt it.

Attention: Each stage lasts 1 hour.

Thanks again for the visits and for the feedback.

Hello again, thanks for the replies and the visitors.

One or two players wanted to play with actual bitcoins, so today I setup a room that accepts them! To avoid confusion, I removed the bitcoin testnet room. If you setup your account with OneID and enable 2FA, you can use a /faucet command in the chat.

For now, there are 2 bitcoins up for grabs. Max profit: 0.0315, edge: 2%.

If you make a deposit, you can confirm that the site has seen it by visiting https://ggdice.com/transactions/btc/pending (the return only refers to your account and is based on the current cookie set).

Feel free to ask any questions, thanks.

Hello everyone,

Recently I've been working on https://ggdice.com and now I would like to invite you all to visit it. It is still in alpha, but since I won't be modifying it (too much) in the next weeks, I thought now would be a good opportunity to announce it. Suggestions, critics and questions are all welcome. A current, and not so short, description of the site follows:


GGDICE


GGDICE is a place where you can do provably fair dice rolls with your favourite crypto currency in varied rooms. The system is composed of several rooms, where each one of them uses a single coin and has its own settings like room edge and bet risk (for the investor**). For the moment there are three rooms (all owned by the house and all with the same game type):

  • The default room where new users start at with 1000 FakeCoins and play at 1% edge
  • The Litecoin room with a 0.8% edge which currently supports bets giving a maximum profit of about 1 LTC
  • The Bitcoin room with a 0.8% edge and current max profit of about 0.03 BTC.

Deposit your coins and play!

There is support for executing strategies in the server, limited to 10 thousand rolls per strategy with a throughput of about 300 rolls per second given the current server. More details about this can be seen in the site by visiting the "Strategy" section found in the menu at right. The profit plot will show a single point for a given strategy, which regards the profit generated by its complete execution.

Your bets can be downloaded at any given point, and the download link can be shared with others till it expires. There are some hidden features which can be accessed by typing "/help" in the chat, as well some shortcuts that are not described anywhere: "B" toggles the bet panel, "M" toggles the right menu, "T" switches between the strategy page and the main page, "F1" (funny suggestion by someone) sets the bet according to the maximum profit for the room.

The login method follows the more or less traditional method of automatically creating a new account when you first visit the site. If you lose the received cookie, you can no longer access the account.
To avoid this problem you can either setup a username/password pair or use OneID. The former is not recoverable; the later is much safer for everyone involved, simpler to use, and you can configure it yourself whether you want 2FA or not.

Other details:

  • The layout looks like a mobile thing because I started the site with focus on mobile
  • The live bets are always slightly delayed, so if you are betting and want to see your own bets without delay, switch away from it
  • Talking too fast in the chat will get you a temporary ban of a few minutes. If you want to spam the chat, wait a little bit before talking again Smiley If someone is interested in moderating it, enter in contact
  • There is a basic bot for reference at https://bitbucket.org/knowitnothing/ggdice_client/src/

If you want more details, just ask. Lastly, there is a chance that parts of the server-side code will be open sourced. This chance increases if I notice I cannot support user issues, which right now I cannot. Thanks for reading, enjoy the site.
