I'm enjoying the PD3 tipping feature thus far... I love sharing my winnings with people who needs a little booster  

Lucky streak of the day:

It must be hard having to trust developers, and not really knowing what's right and what isn't. I was never able to delegate anything at JD, because I don't really trust anyone but myself to get things right. I'm not sure if that's a strength or a weakness.


I think the problem stems from trying to get the rolls to go from 0.00 to 100.00 - it's kind of unnatural to have 10001 different possible outcomes. The new scheme in PD3 is much better, with 10000 possible outcomes (0.00 through 99.99), because they are all equally likely.

In PD2 all the outcomes 0.01 through 99.99 came up one time in 10000, but the highest and the lowest came up one time in 20000 each, and that's where the accidental extra 0.005% house edge came from.

Maybe a simpler example would help. Suppose you want to pick a random number from 0 to 10. You have two 10-sided dice. You can't just roll one of them, because that only picks 10 different numbers, and you need 11. So you roll both of them, giving a number 00 through 99. Then you divide by 10, and round to the nearest whole number.

05 to 14 gives 1 (10% chance)
15 to 24 gives 2 (10% chance)
etc.

but only 00 to 04 gives 0 (5% chance)
and only 95 to 99 gives 10 (5% chance)

So if someone bets the 50% bet, for 1.98x payout: "less than 5"... they win if they roll 00 through 44, and only have a 45% chance of winning, even though half the numbers (0 through 4) are winning numbers for them. So you've advertised a 50% bet but it's really just a 45% bet. It's 5% worse than advertised.

In PD2's case, you're not rolling 10 different numbers, but 10 thousand different numbers, so the error is a thousand times smaller. Instead of a 5% error in house edge, it's only a 0.005% error.

It sounds like an insignificant amount, but 0.005% of 400k BTC (the wagered amount) is 20 BTC. Which is still insignificant compared to turnover, but would probably be significant when shared between the people who lost when they should have won.


Fair enough.


I get it. It's obvious you're swamped with problems at the moment. Good luck getting it all sorted out!

It was a small site where I showed trusted users, mods, and all time highest bets and losses.

What was primedice.info? I missed it!

Ill get started as soon as I get my new (custom) laptop. They are still building it, but I should have it within 2 weeks!

Sounds great! Looking forward to seeing what your ideas is.

I actually rly liked it . If u did put bit more effort into it i think it would be nice .

Anyways im off to bed. See yaa all tomorrow .

primedice.info was just a site that displayed "trusted users", mods, and highest bets of all time.

It was useless.

The new idea is a secret tho! 

Can you catch a noob up on what primedice.info was *supposed* to do?  And how the new idea is different?

Also, mods, not trying to troll with those error messages, I figured they'd be helpful to people working on bugs. CDRproblems can be annoying.

Story of a life !

primedice.info was a flop. No one used it, and it served no purpose. I have a much better idea that people can actually use!

Great site! Love it earned a small amount and then lost it all  then earned it all back!

Cool nahtnam ! U can always pm me to see ur work in progress .
I liked primedice.info .

I'm getting this again and again in my js console on chromium.  Chat's not updating and I suppose this has something to do with it:


Part of this is related cross-domain resource requests. 

Hey guys!

I came up with an idea for a PD3 social network/sharing site. I will start the programming part as soon as I get my new laptop!

Did u tried latest version of Chrome ? That should work in all cases, except those with to small resolution .

funny, but actually it's structurally ambiguous:


is the intended bracketing (which is legit, imho), your reading is:


which is also legit, but not the intended reading, I think.

"bugs being implemented"  I still can't get on the site unfortunately I can't wait until Stunna can fix out a solution! I can finally log on to where I belong.

I believe the first time I had heard of the rounding issue was after the launch of PD3 and one of our developers immediately said that was incorrect. However, I will be having a conversation with our developers and bring up the points you responded with as they do seem valid. While PD2 was running I was always told/under the impression that PD2 was running at a very very slight disadvantage (1/1M bets). Obviously our intention wasn't to secretly increase our house edge a rather insignificant amount if correct, after all we've effectively decreased our edge to .91% for the moment. I am more reach-able via PM by the way if you do not get a reply in a reasonable amount of time.

Also the PD3 algorithm was fixed right after you noted it to us, we simply forgot to update the verification page. With regards to the tipping/chat scroll issue, this isn't our priority right now, as I'm sure you've noticed we have a variety of problems we're wrangling with. The idea I wanted to implement was having a freeze on mouse-over when hovering over the chat, this will hopefully come in the near future.

Our priority for today was fixing and resuming automatic cashouts which we did along with some bug fixes/minor exploits. Next we're working on fixing some socket issues, the mobile version and squashing some more bugs.

It probably seems like I'm shrugging off a lot of your feedback or ignoring it but I've been incredibly busy and haven't gotten the chance to properly respond/look into everything you've suggested. I made sure to get all the feedback I could from you prior to launch and we discussed this feedback heavily with our team. Some of the changes are yet to come after we sort out priorities. While it probably hasn't seemed like it this past week, I've always valued your opinion and input.

In other news grats to Slex on a very quick 22 coins made:

Stunna has it on manual at the moment, due to an error he talked about on the last page. Within a day or two it should be instant again, if not wait until Stunna gets on.
