I have been on JD for some time, I believe "Always roll low" strategy gets people nowhere. Cos everyone's hash (the seed where roll results are derived from) is different. What's important is to "know your own unique hash". Use hundreds of really low bets to get a feel of the "character" of your hash and then bet accordingly.

For example, my one frequently gives >90 after a <10 roll, so I bet high after a <10 roll


I wonder if there really is a system that works since these numbers are only pseudo-random?  Maybe the server sheet should automatically change every X rolls

dooglas : maybe you should use robots.txt to force non indexing of player pages...just incase.

robots.txt is never more than a suggestion.  It forces nothing.

I just noticed that delays are explained in the faq.

I think it's not enough. They should be somehow made explicit on the betting page.

I had the same idea.  It now tells you while the delay is happening that it's because you bet small.

What confuses me is this "recalculation lag" I have noticed.

I believe this is an artifact of the server being written in Javascript.  Javascript periodically runs a "garbase collection".  Reduced numbers of "dust bets" should reduce the amount of time spent in garbage collection.

I don't understand that For the 50% win rate, how will appear continuously 18 times hi or 13 consecutive low ? Is it some problem?

It doesn't happen continuously.  Streaks of wins and losses occur pretty much exactly as often as statistically expected.

If you find the site it producing "streakier" results than it should, you can use this to your advantage.  If the last roll was "hi", bet "hi", else bet "lo".  Then you'll win in the long run, due to all those streaks of 18 and 13.

Any lack of randomness is bad for the site, since it can and will be exploited by smart players.

Not true, A Low Roll is 0.000001% more likely than a high roll due to how it is calculated

Not true.  The difference in likelihood between 'hi' and 'lo' is much much less than 0.000001%.  So much less that it's unlikely to ever affect a single Just-Dice roll ever.

A common misconception about Roll High/Low: it does NOT make ANY difference.

All it allows you to do is choose the number range that will result in a win or loss.

For example: 50% win chance, Roll High = 51-100, Roll Low= 0-50

Quick Question..

I know the website has "built-in" lags based on bet amount.  What confuses me is this "recalculation lag" I have noticed.  At various times it seems like it is recalculating something as opposed to just throwing out a random number.  I am sure it is how all RNG work but was wondering if anyone could explain.  Otherwise JD site is much better than all other dice sites and the owner is doing a great job.



edit..  I found if I hit the randomized button sometimes it gets rid of the extra "lag"..

Otherwise, a new use comes, tries to flip a few satoshi  -  he just won't understand
what's going on. This can discourage future whales Wink

My new strategy is to lose a lot then go cry because I lost a lot.

There has been a big increase in the amount of dust spam recently, so I slowed it down.
This supposedly has a significant impact on thwarting "strategy testing" with dust mass, and making the bet sheet cleaner.

Strategy is better honed anyway with a real simulator, such as my own, which I'll now be forced to update to offer more options (see, covert promotion -  I thought anyone won't mind)  Wink

Does that mean that Google can stumble upon my secret link completely by coincidence? Or do I have to have saved it *somewhere*?

It seems that if Google see a link anywhere, they index it.  Like if I mention it in google talk, it makes its way into their search index.  If I type it into the chrome address bar without the https, maybe they get it that way.  And so on.

If you make sure not to communicate it to anyone, then you'll be OK.  That's just hard to do, and so I'd recommend setting a username, password, and google-auth code.

My laptop was having a lower ID than now (886), but I didn't set a password  Sad

I still don't use a password. I just save the long "secret link" in KeePass.

Be careful with this.  If google ever see your secret link, they don't keep it very secret.

Hello just-dice,

Today I visited your page. I did this from public computer (A). I got ID 51962. I went to account tab and entered my email, my address and requested google authentication. I paired my phone with qr code. After that I transferred 5 BTC to your account. Because this was public computer, I decided to go to my private one (B) before I start using your site. From computer A I deleted all cookies and when I came to computer B, your site gave me new ID.  So now I can't access my initial account which has confirmed funds on it.

How can you help me logging to my initial account? If you need any additional info please send me pvt message.

For the record, we fixed this over email.  He was able to give me a googleauth code from the lost account so I emailed him his 'secret url' and he set up a username/password.

Site Bets are slow as hell Fix it pl0x? Cheesy

There has been a big increase in the amount of dust spam recently, so I slowed it down.

The FAQ will be updated soon, to say:

          h3 Why are the dice rolls so slow?

          p The server can only handle a certain number of rolls per second.  There are quite a lot of people running automated 'bot' programs that place tiny bets over and over, and these were causing the whole site to slow down.  In response to this, I introduced artificial delays to the roll, based on the amount being staked.  This slows down the 'dust bots' so that the site should stay fast for real players.  The delays are as follows:
          ul
            li bets of 0.00000000 BTC are delayed by 6 seconds
            li bets of 0.00000001 BTC to 0.00000009 BTC are delayed by 5 seconds
            li bets of 0.00000010 BTC to 0.00000099 BTC are delayed by 4 seconds
            li bets of 0.00000100 BTC to 0.00000999 BTC are delayed by 3 seconds
            li bets of 0.00001000 BTC to 0.00009999 BTC are delayed by 2 seconds
            li bets of 0.00010000 BTC to 0.00099999 BTC are delayed by 1 second
            li bets of 0.00100000 BTC to 0.00999999 BTC are delayed by 0.5 seconds
            li bets of 0.01000000 BTC or more are not delayed at all

So KOS sells his #11 ID for 5BTC at $95 Gox which is $475 , and now wants anything under 250 for 0.05BTC, smart kid.

I had an offer of 5BTC for my user #8 (which has never been played) in which I turned it down  by a person who previously offered 10BTC for #4 which was turned down, which in my opinion I would have turned down also.  Well that appears to have set the market, imo.

Looking at the curve on the User IDs i think is about market value if the people want to sell now.


Also remember that not all users 3-9 would sell or want to sell right now, and some may be invested and or gone because of cookies and not setting passwords.

Therefore both my #8 and #9 are for sale. 

#8 for 8 BTC
#9 for 7 BTC

Or Both for 13 BTC buy one use it and invest the other one for the future.


Add these offers to your bid/ask list.

Code:
19:29:11 (14835)  ^ I give you 4 for number 8 now

Code:
19:29:29 (9)  I got offered 5 last night by elenore,
