OK then.  Since you agree 0.999... is equal to 1, let's use that to prove the other point:

Suppose (to make the maths easier) you're rolling a 10 sided dice, and you only lose if you roll a 6.

After the 1st roll, the probability that you won is 0.9 (there's a 1 in 10 chance that you rolled a 6)
After the 2nd roll, the probability that you won at least once is 0.99 (there's only a 1 in 100 chance that you rolled a 6 both times)
After the 9th roll, the probability that you won at least once is 0.999999999 (nine 9's)
If you play forever, the probability that you win at least once is 0.999... recurring forever.

You just agreed that 0.999... recurring forever is equal to 1, so the probability that you win at least once if you play forever is 1.

ie. you're going to win at least once, for sure.

dooglus is almost completely correct.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_surely

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem

so, to "make things more clear". This also means that given a infinite time, it is "almost sure" that you lose infinite times in a row and also win infinite times in a row.

Edit: as this can make some confusion, let me quote that "there is no difference between almost surely and surely" so, when I said that dooglus is almost completely correct I want to say that he is completely correct.

Just a cross-post for it's general relevance.

SDice really needs to hurry up and add accounts along side no account betting. That way they can have almost instant win/loss notifications, save on costs with bulk payouts, stop bloating the blockchain so much if people adopt this account shiz niz. Pretty much all other gambling websites (using btc) have done this, yet SD refuses to leave the dark ages of the crypo era.

SD needs, if they wanna stay competitive:
- Accounts / along side their current system
- New games, inclusive of their current game.
- Friendlier UI (It's still just a shit tonne of numbers on a screen)
- Chat features, both text voice and video for certain rooms/games
- BTC related advertisement's. (Yes we all hate ad's, but because Bitcoin is in it's infancy right now it's imperative that we give new business the ability to gain public eye to a community of people more susceptible to seeing value in that business. Extra revenue, along side supporting BTC growth is certainly not a bad thing. I would implore all large and successful Bitcoin companies to implement some sort of unobtrusive advertising block on their site, while allowing them to vet who they deem to be appropriate and charge on the same basis too.

If ANY of these suggestions get implemented I guarantee it will have a positive effect on share prices, SD usage and consumer enjoyment.

So true on the dooglus part lol. He'd be perfect for SD

because he is US

I'd just like to stop in here and say congrats to the dice team on their recent publicity.

It looks like you and exante hired the same marketing firm? 

The only question is, why have you not yet hired dooglus?   
 



 

It's called "covering their own asses". Nothing will change for US players as it's technically impossible (unless of course you go the route of constantly generating new 1sdice-adresses), but Voorhees will be able to say "Look, we TOLD them they're not allowed to play" when his door gets kicked in.

Sure, but how? By default US players can't access the website without using TOR, but I'm fairly certain they'll still be able to play.

I said by default

Could this be good news for the blockchain?
Just kidding!  

Seriously all those "step backs" are legitimising the bitcoin value more and more. Gambling with bitcoin only should not be a problem in the future. Lots of opportunities for solid, legit companies should arise as this space is wide open.

This is the site I am hoping will bring the market away from amateurism, if they do not screw up with their app (when they decide to launch)

New US players maybe

Why? How could US players be prevented from using SD?

On the bright side, US players by default won't lose money playing SD anymore. Take it as a blessing in disguise.

No worries, it's understandable.

BTC came back. Sorry for the freakout.

SatoshiDICE has no way to know from which jurisdiction a payment was sent.  The bitcoin network doesn't track, record or report that info.  Your wager is no different from anyone else's wager.

I imagine your transaction might find its way back to you.

Maybe the title should be changed to something like:

SatoshiDICE.com - Everywhere in the World (Except the USA)'s Most Popular Bitcoin Game

It would have been really nice if you guys posted that on your website today. I bet 3 btc, completely unaware of this and have received nothing back, nor a response from your support. Are you just taking the funds sent and running? What gives?

Are we sure this is Eric Voorhees behind this account and not simply another account taken over by a hacker?

I mean this does not sound like Eric Voorhees at all. Where is the bravado?
