Maybe you could set options for how slow & fast you want the rolls to be Tongue

This was my first thought, too.

I had a funny idea: allow the player to set the roll delay to anything they like. Then they can set it to "24 hours" for a self-enforced break from the site. It would effectively tie up their account, preventing them from losing their funds. "Sorry, you still have a roll in progress - 23 hours until it completes". For those people who just can't help themselves, but are capable of moments of strength...

That's actually a pretty great idea, however I feel like anyone who would consider using this would probably just put in a new address and play again. If anyone wants me to force a break from the site I could do so manually in that sort of situation.

Or place your coins in a coinlenders CD and earn interest

But CoinLenders is only 20% per year. PrimeDice is at minimum 1% per roll (roll over 2). hehehe. But you're right, when I get more coins, I'm going to put some there as well.

If there's a demand for it I'd look into adding something like that but it seems pretty unnecessary. I feel like roll speed if reasonably fast is simply something people subconsciously think about.

It's on a new laptop with on-board Radeon graphics. I run Linux, and it does seem to be a video card driver issue. I switched from the open source driver to the proprietary one and the problem fixed itself.

Do you have any players saying the rolls are too fast?

I've been working on a dice game and initial feedback I've gotten is that it's too fast. Gamblers like a second in which to stress about whether they're going to win or loss. Instant feedback apparently takes away the fun. I hadn't thought of that, but maybe I'm going to have to put in a delay - it seems maybe there's a sweet spot - too slow and it's frustrating, but too fast and it doesn't feel like gambling?

From what I've seen it depends on the player. Users that bet small amounts for fun generally like the quick rolls, but someone who is betting big usually likes a bit of suspense to build up. It's hard to find the "sweet spot" because each person prefers something different. Best bet would be to go for somewhere in-between those two points. Consistency of speed is probably more important than the actual speed though in my opinion.

I much prefer the slow rolls when I'm betting 'big' (Well to be fair, I only bet big when rolls are going slow Tongue

), but when I'm just playing around messing with 0.1 BTC or something, slow rolls is insanely annoying. It's a really hard one to figure out I'm assuming. Maybe you could set options for how slow & fast you want the rolls to be Tongue

Stunna, may I suggest that you also publish a hash of future secrets? So we know that the secret was made at least a day before, and it did not change when you reveal it.

Although you already can't change the secret because the bets would not match later on.

However, a secret that is generated a day or two in advance will not pose much of a security risk, particularly if you don't store the secret on your web server until it is needed.

If you publish a hash of it 1 week and a day in advance, that would be ideal. Plus I get to use it for my own purpose. (My Lotto game.)

SD published their hashes good for many years into the future, but I don't think that's necessary. Someone might attempt to brute force their secret for a date 10 years from now, and when they succeed, they will win a lot of bitcoins from SD. (no matter how small the chance, someone will "gamble" that it's possible and attempt it anyway.)

No one is going to brute force the hash of any secrets you reveal 1 week from today.

Something to look into definitely, but I don't see a big advantage to doing that. As you mentioned if we modified the secret previous bets would not add up so it doesn't add any more security to the bettor.

I don't think that changes anything unless you're worried about the first bet of the day being manipulated. It seems like an almost unneeded security risk which doesn't set out to achieve all that much.

Not sure though, I guess it won't hurt if it doesn't pose any risk

Probably a browser glitch rather than a fault with primedice, 'cos that's the chromium icon I see there where the deposit address should be.
