Well, I can now officially declare myself an idiot for gambling without paying attention. I deposited 0.05BTC, decided I'd gamble, I always do with 0.01, 50.50, what do I do? I insert 0.05 in the bet amount by accident and lose ._., and soon I'll bein the temptation to win it back again :<.

You should just let Stunna know, I'm sure he'd refund you some of it, maybe.

It could have been worse though haha Cheesy

Nah, it's not worth a refund, it was my own stupid sleepy mistake =P. It could have indeed been a lot worse, but it's still nasty. Oh well, I'll hopefully earn it back =P.
EDIT :  Plus, with the losses he has, he could use some of my losses =P

Yeh, I guess it still doesn't change the fact you still had a fair chance at winning.

What if someone had a botnet of say 500,000 pc's. Bitcoin is notorious for DDOS attacks, which origin from large botnets, and some of the botnets have 300-500,000 pcs or more. So what if someone pointed that artillery towards the sha?

If you had a million PCs (each with a similar GPU to the one you were using on your single PC) then you could divide your hashes per second per PC by a million.  Then, instead of 9 million billion billion billion billion hashes per second per PC, you'd "only" need to do 9 billion billion billion billion hashes per second per PC to find the secret in 23 hours.  And those hashes are now sha512 hashes, not sha1 hashes.  I expect they take longer, but I don't know.

Would it then be solvable in minutes/hours? Just asking a theoretical question.

Theoretical answer: "no".  Smiley

With sha512, how long many hashes per second would you need? If sha1 takes billions on billions on billions...

Why does that even matter? SHA1 should not be used for anything today.

Hmm.. Talk about predicting the future. Guy bets constant 0.001 on a 6x multiplier. Loses them all. Suddenly 89x's his bet, ups the multipier to 9x and then wins.

Hey,

We highly doubt anyone was cheating, we made the switch to Sha512 as it was very simple to implement and more practical in the long run.


Also we've restored the maximum bet payout to 5BTC Smiley

Good to hear, did you make Bitcoins back in order to put it back at 5? Or just buy?

I rly hope made lol

Your calculation is not 100% correct: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html

But even with using these failures I doubt it will be possible to crack this within 24h-1second on a normal home PC.

I'm aware of that blog post, but it's entirely unrelated to primedice.  That post is about how some Chinese researchers allegedly discovered a method that makes it 2048 times easier than was previously thought to find a collision in sha1 outputs.  But we don't care about collisions in primedice.  All we care about is how hard it is to reverse the hash and find the daily secret.  The Chinese discovery doesn't help in that regard at all.

Even if the blog was relevant, and the findings it referred to make it 2048 times easier to find the primedice daily secret, just replace the '9 million' with a '4 thousand', but leave the 'billion billion billion billion' in there.  It's still too big a number to comtemplate. Even if you convince every Bitcoin miner to switch from mining to trying to steal Stunna's Bitcoin stash (and good luck getting the ASIC miners to figure out how to switch from sha256 to sha1...)

I think the natural conclusion here is: nobody was cheating; it's just too hard.

Now that you put it that way...
