Unfortunately, DDoS protection just the cost of doing business.  On the bright side, it will cost less than 100BTC per year, certainly less than that per month!  Check out blacklotus.net, they actually accept BTC payments and cost about 8.5BTC/month.

Someone just opened a support ticket offering DDoS protection, but 100 BTC seems a little expensive.

Are there any other service providers out there who can do the job for less?



Well see they are very stupid because this is only half what the gangsters offer.

The gangsters say pay up for protection, and once you pay they then will stop all other gangsters from screwing with you.

So for this to be worth any salt at all, they would have to be able to actually keep your site up against other attackers for that 100 btc fee. (Instead of just not attacking JD themselves)

See thats why the gangsters used to get their money (and maybe still do) its protection money because they would 1. stop attacking you and 2. stop others from doing the same.

gotyoubytheballs is only offering half the correct "protection" proposition.

In conclusion they are either very stupid or hoping that dooglus is very stupid.

FWIW the address doesn't show up in the blockchain:

https://blockchain.info/address/1qSw4sNAv2dAKDDZz3EmCwLdEKGretB7Y

You'd think they'd at least get creative with the address, e.g., 1GangstersRUs....


Of course it won't show up. It's probably cold.

That's the problem with being in this gray market. The authorities who could do something about this, won't. But extortion is still extortion. I understand finding the culprit will be difficult, if not impossible.

It has a few things going for it, though of dubious interest (jackpot), and the way of investing isn't good.

For a gambling site I don't see anything better than the instant invest-divest way of Just-Dice.

The jackpot system seems flawed.  0.48% of every bet goes into the pot, and every bet of 0.1 BTC or more qualifies to win the whole pot.  That disincentivises people from betting more than 0.1 per bet.

Why bet a single 1 BTC bet when for the same price you could have 10 times the chance of taking the jackpot?  High rollers are effectively giving up 0.48% of each of their bets to subsidize smaller players.

I love current simple design, please don't change it Smiley

You don't think perhaps it could be made a little more modernish looking? have you tried letsdice, its really smooth.

Either way I hope our 1% edge retains our position as the dice site to gamble at Smiley

I don't like their design any better. The auto-bet thing is super cool though. JD could implement something similar.

I wonder of Nakowa responsible for the DDoS atta is in Just-Dice just as his lets dice site comes out.  Seems like the type of thing that asshole would do.

Hey Dooglus I think a more modern site design along the lines of letsdice should be considered.

I understand they have a higher edge and so justdice has a better proposition for gamblers, but whoever made letsdice is really aiming to take the market, it blows primedice out of the water too.

I have a bad feeling that pretty GUI will win over people. I love the rock solid feel of JD but this new site has been made really well.

What do you think?

The correct IP address:

just-dice.com has address 54.217.248.250

So:

https://54.217.248.250 will get you to the site if DNS didn't fix itself for you yet.

Well I see the basic layout, but that's it.
It can take 24 hours to change DNS, it's not likely, but it can happen.
AT&T is rather notorious for dual-caching DNS in multiple layers, which can result in doubling (or worse) the propagation times that most of the rest of the internet experiences when a DNS change happens. If the old TTL setting was long, then AT&T is going to take quite a while to get it right. I see that the new TTL is nice and short, so in the future this should be much less of an issue. (Unless they override short TTLs, which is stupid, but I wouldn't put it past them.)

Years ago, I ran across a DNS server with a 2 week TTL setting for a mail host. I would have fired the guy who did that, personally.
2 weeks? o.o Dafuck, that guy must be high on everything know to human kind.

It can't possibly take that long for DNS info to propagate? Doog posted 8 hours ago...

Site is still down for me on https://just-dice.com
And on http://just-dice.com (no https) just returns the text "DEFAULT"

Looks up to me Smiley

yeah it's odd.
working fine from my laptop (through a vpn using a datacenters network) but from AT&T 3G same errors from my last post still exist
That's obviously an issue with DNS propagation. Be patient.
