Ahhhhhh you are right.

Are you really so delusional that you don't understand how you show yourself to potential players and investors with these ad hominem attacks in response to questions you don't like?

Rhetorical question by the way. Don't bother.

isn't that guy Baro from ninja? He created a great bot there. I don't think it is a dumb user problem.

Wtfwtfwtf appears to have had 1BTC hacked from a recent deposit.  

Dean and him are talking in private so no clue if it is a site side problem or a dumb user problem.

Edit:

Appearing more like a "dumb user problem" (not calling him dumb)

It's not like JD never went down, a quick Google search comes up with quite a lot of threads e.g.

I know your being anal as usual but I said there's nothing wrong with the dice game (code), there's nothing wrong with the hosting (meaning Windows vs Linux) but as you should know since you had it happen to you a few times, servers have problems no matter what OS or code is running on them.

No matter what host you choose you will experience some downtime....which if you setup things right you can mitigate. I don't know how you had JD set up in the end but it was down a few times not long before you closed so obviously not perfect but I guess you still just love trolling.

Here's Azure's SLA http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/
and if a site was hosting on Amazons cloud here's their SLA https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/sla/

So to answer your question. One of the servers went down.
That is something that is being worked on so as to minimise, as the players and investors know.

You didn't answer the question. If there's nothing wrong with the game, and there's nothing wrong with the hosting, why was it down for hours?

"We never really got out of beta" for poker and casino. The dice was added on to that system but there has been massive improvements to it.
There is nothing wrong with the dice game at all. Just slower than it could be when there are a lot of users or bets/second and there can be some downtime once in a while like any site.

That's the whole point in rewriting it though.

The current players and investors are happy here even if you are not. If they weren't they would leave.

So what was the problem this time?

"We never really got out of beta"? Maybe you should warn investors that you are still in a testing phase before inviting them to invest...

Profit swings usually happen, only when whales come play on the site.  Before AK came in, the profits were way under 100 btc for over 3-4 months, It may be months before you see one, and it doesn't mean the site will always profit from it

profits been slow, we really need AK back 

WTF was this about?! LOL

Nothing wrong with using Windows at all. That wasn't the problem.

There are other Bitcoin sites that are in control of far more Bitcoin than PRC that are hosted on Windows servers, including gambling sites.
There's also larger systems that are in control of more fiat money than the total USD worth of Bitcoin running on Windows with no problems.

As for the actual problem here of any down time (and the nonsense competence claims).
PRC never really got out of "Beta", as soon as we were beta testing the poker people wanted the site to stay up and have me just add things to it.

The architecture design was never at the stage of utilising cloud or multiple servers to prevent downtime.

This could have been done over time obviously but customers kept asking for other things and felt the downtime wasn't that much of an issue, the site is still up more than 99% of the time and recovery is usually very fast.
Also I'm sure you know how much time support and customer queries take up, I'm sure you said that's why you would like to close JD when it was running?

So moving forward. Almost all the players/investors know that I am working on a new version of PRCDice written from the ground up that solves a few of the problems with the existing site e.g. 100%* uptime (obviously impossible but a much more stable setup with automatic error recovery), faster betting and a total overhaul of the design/UX. Plus a bunch of new features and a software design that allows much easier adding of new games.

Finally, all funds are always offline (except a smaller amount in hot wallet that I can personally afford to lose). Any suggestion like someone being able to get seeds and drain house slowly could happen on any site and could have even happened on JD without you knowing. It doesn't matter what OS your site is running on.

Back online now.

Hi guys, I just woke up. Looking into this right now.

The site is still running somewhat. SeuntjieBot is still connected and can send messages in the chat. It seems there is a problem with opening new connections. The last chat message was about 4 hours ago (5:20 UTC, its now 9:11 UTC). Deans last chat message was around 8 PM UTC last night.

I'm sure he is working on PRC v2.0. No worries 

has anyone seen dean in the last 8 hours?

Haha, I had forgotten about that. I had felt kinda bad for ricky until this point, then I found the whole thing hilarious.

haha o ya
