Yeh it's been very slow for me recently as well (About 5 - 10 seconds per roll). This was addressed one page back, apparently it should be completely fixed soon.

Has given me an excuse to stop gambling for a short while haha

Hey stunna and guys, was wondering what plugins are needed for the site to run successfully? Tried it on firefox on Ubuntu and it says plugins needed are missing. Could that be a problem why I have rendering issues?

Hey there!
Me again, I'm wondering, where is this site hosted? Because for me at times it is loading extremely slow, and I have decent internet. I live in the Netherlands.

Hey, I'm not stunna but I know the answer to ya question from previous pages

Basically, their system makes it so if you close the session, your immediately cashed out. Since you had under 0.0005, it attempted to cash you out but since you didn't have enough to cover the miners fee it just got rid of your balance. Normally if you did the same thing with a balance of lets say 1 BTC, it'd immediately cash you out 0.9995 BTC.

I don't think its worth worrying about, because all you need to do to get another free balance is enter a new desired payout address.

Edit: Stunna also said they're fixing this problem ASAP, and making it so if your session dies with under 0.0005 it doesn't cash you out.

Hi stunna

I have problem. I logged in as one of my address, initially the balance was 0.0001 BTC as it always should be. I didn't do the roll or anything, but i accidentally click the primedice icon on top, which would bring me back to the menu. Now i logged in again with the same address, the balance went nil

"Total bets: 0
Total wagered: 0.00000000
Total profit: 0.00000000
Highest bet: 0

Wins: 0
Losses: 0.0001
Win/Loss ratio: 0.000"

Even the total bets is stated 0.

Thank You!

PrimeDice is so far the best Bitcoin powered game under Gambling!

Good Work!


Edit: SHIT! Hacked! https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/serious-problem-i-recieve-bitcoins-it-is-automatically-sent-somewhere-else-210736 I lost all the coins.
PS: Added here for more attention to that topic.

Thanks for the feedback. Noted this & will pass it onto our developer. Should be a fairly easy fix. Thanks.


Sent you & Doog some small tips to your donation/BTC addresses. Cheers.

Just go to your stats and then click "Logs of all your bets"

I think you can change it to as many as you want as far as displaying them goes

Oh yeah!  And I see the 'client seed' is still what I changed it to yesterday.  I wonder where that's stored.

I'd like to be able to see more than just my last 10 bets.  Maybe an option to download a data file with all my bets, seeds, etc. would be best.

I did NOT log out but just opened the browser after 1 day. I don't exactly remember the balance but it was lower than minimum withdrawal. I thought I would continue when I open the browser the next day.

As far as I can think, you are taking PHP Session wrongly in code or cookie timeout is very low.

In the bet history click the bet # and it appears in a tooltip

Did you logout prior to this happening? What was your balance at the time? I think your session may have died with under a minimum withdrawel. If you can let me know what happened exactly I can compensate you appropriately & make sure it never happens again.

Thanks

Hey all,

Yeah, our rolls are becomign EXCEEDINGLY slow and this is a massive problem. This will surely be fixed within the next few hours. Thanks for helping point this out.

We realized with our current method & server, over time the rolling would become slower, but we honestly didn't expect this much attention so quickly. I understand how the lag is extremely annoying, so please bare with us as we fix it

Sorry for any inconvenience! Once this is fixed it will be more or less permanent and "half animation"rolls will be the norm just as when we released .

Thanks!



Honestly appreciate all your feedback. Have a notepad at the moment with everything you've suggested and will be fixing the majority of things you have noted within the week. If you find more things please keep them coming
Thanks!


Also congrats to Fun on a 15 BTC cashout a minute ago, thanks for putting up with the lag and sticking with us. Will be fixed soon.

* I guess the obvious would be to show a graph of the distribution of percentiles rolled - both for the current player, and for the site as a whole.  Break it down into 100 'buckets' (<1%, 1-2%, 2-3%, etc).  Then we can easily see whether the RNG is skewed towards the higher numbers (not that I imagine it is, for a second, since it's just SHA1).

* In my bet history, show me the server and client seeds per bet, so I can verify them later.  Otherwise I have to make a note for each bet.

* How about letting me edit the payout multiplier, and have it calculate the percentage thingy from that?  And let me edit the 'bet return' field and have it calculate the bet from that.

* A 'bet all' button would be useful so I don't have to copy lots of digits when making a last-ditch attempt to recover my balance.

I was just looking at that as well, and agree those suggestions should be implemented.

Right now it's taking approximately 9 animations of the bet button before the result is returned
The webpage itself is also very slow compared to yesterday according to Chrome it spent 6.27 seconds awaiting the request for http://primedice.com then started to load the page content

Edit: Additionally is it you who owns the .net/.org and other variants or will it not be long before fakes come around trying to skim coins off your success?

Suggestion:

In case of api_bet.php, return JSON response and parse it client side. Current setup is in-efficient, has repeated HTML, higher use of bandwidth.

As more players are now playing, the website is getting slower, you should consider more powerful servers or make the code efficient.

Same can be said for show_balance.php, it returns HTML. Return just the balance value and set it using javascript.

Hello PrimeDice,
When I login with the same payout address on the same PC, it still resets the balance to 0!

Please do something, also, I din't receive any cashout even at that point.

I guess it could remember the details of bets that need verifying, and verify them once the secret is available.

That's  a good idea.  I use Firefox, and Chrome, but Chrome didn't seem too big on addon or plugin availability last time I checked.  What about the sites that don't release the secret till the next day?

I think you're off by a factor of 2 there.  The easiest bet to win you have is 2%.  Players win that on average 49 of 50 plays.  On average they would win 49 times in a row before losing.  So they'd win 49 times 5 = 245 BTC, not 490.  And then you'd win 490 BTC when they eventually lose, twice what they've won so far on average.

Notice that although the player loses 1% of everything they risk, you profit by 98% of everything you risk (on the >2% game).  In a typical 50 plays, where the player bets 1 BTC each time, the player wins 49 times, winning 1/98 BTC each time for a total payout of 49/98 BTC = 0.5 BTC, and the lose once, losing 1 BTC.  So the player risked 50 BTC, made a net loss of 0.5 BTC.  That's a net loss of (loss/risk) = 0.5/50 = 0.01 = 1% of everything he risked.  But you (the site) only risk 1/98 BTC each time he bets 1 BTC, so your total risk was 50/98 BTC, and your net profit was 0.5 BTC.  That's a profit of (gain/risk) = 0.5/(50/98) = 49/50 = 0.98 = 98% of everything you risked!

The Kelly criterion (for bankroll management) suggests that to maximise the growth of your bankroll you should be risking a fixed percentage of your bankroll per bet regardless of the multiplier, if the house edge percentage is the same for each bet.

If you can afford to risk 1% of your entire bankroll when offering a 50/50 bet with a 1% house edge, then you can also afford to risk 1% of your bankroll when offering any other bet with a 1% house edge.  Conversely, if you don't have 500 BTC to your name then you shouldn't be offering 5 BTC bets at 50/50 because your risk of ruin is too high then.

In summary, the maths says that you should set the max bet such that the player profits by 1% of your available bankroll.  As your bankroll grows or shrinks, you adjust the maximum accordingly.
