hey i just placed a couple bets...they both showed up as a win with a pop up on my bottom task bar. when i looked at my transactions one of the wins disappeared? so it only paid me out for 1 win instead of 2.
tx numbers:
bet: 79f7b303876f2872d675748da3f366e7c5e44c35e1ef4a9677db47e8d2646aa2
1 win received: 99a65d5177ec912ffe7fc2996ae364e11bea2ae45cfc6aa9b22e10982b3f25af
missing a winner payout. Thanks
[edit]
wen i look up the payment transaction is says does not exist. cbf22b626b12fdff8768be7287fd37a2c7f6830a482de3b62511fe85d8460d5e

1a52e53113de780ebb7f18e7fcfda3b43533cdf64653fd13c9f07fca7ec19e1b
Think im done until this gets figured out.....please take a look eevorhees

Yeah, a game needs to be made that more closely mimics a scratch off lotto ticket. Multiple different prize levels to win with on transaction, and every transaction has a chance at a jackpot prize level.
Voila: BTCMultiplier.com. The jackpot is a good idea...
I'd be very grateful to anyone who checks out this new design and provides feedback (either technical issues or suggestions or any kind of comments).
I sent you a PM with a bunch of comments a couple of weeks ago and received no response. Not sure if you got it.
There's an issue with the live display of big losses:
* the amounts displayed are obviously too big
* the text doesn't fit in the box
Ah thanks Dooglus!
Yes I did receive that message and many of those suggestions will be included. I really appreciate the feedback

New site is pretty.
I still won't play. Not until I get the 100 bitcoins I lost back. And that is going to have to be by magic. No more dice for me.
Even if I crack SHA256 and start mining all the bitcoins I still won't bet them on SatoshiDICE.

Great news, the new SatoshiDICE site is now ready for some testing!!

There is now live-feed data coming through. I'd be very grateful to anyone who checks out this new design and provides feedback (either technical issues or suggestions or any kind of comments).
After some feedback and after we've watched performance, we'll put this on the normal SatoshiDice.com domain.
Cheers!
Can you develop an alternative game where the I can win what I actually rolled? for example, I rolled a 18, but my bet was on lessthan 64000, so I missed out on a potentially big payout. In this alternative game, if I roll a 16, then I get paid the 1998.853x multiplier or whatever multiplier that would be mathematically correct. I'd like to play this style.
If they paid 64000x for every zero, 31981.573x for every 1, etc. using the current payouts, the expected return per 1 BTC bet would be 9.3 BTC.
So to make a game with a small positive (1.9%) expectation for the house, but with the same proportions of the payouts, we need to scale the current multipliers back by 9.3 / 0.981. I left the 'losing' return at 0.005, and slightly adjusted the 3rd decimal place of the payouts to make it work. Then we get:

Would people be willing to play a game where you need to roll less than 6000 to 'win'? It means that less than one ticket in ten is a winning ticket.
That sounds like a really cool game and I don't see a crypto problem or any large barriers to implementation.

I don't understand why you pay that small amount even when losing. What is the motivation?
I don't understand why you pay that small amount even when losing. What is the motivation?
Imagine you send a bet and get nothing back. Did you lose, or did your bet get lost or stuck somewhere? You can't tell.
So they send a small amount back when you lose to let you know that the bet was processed successfully, and that you lost.
That way you're not left wondering whether their server is just being slow.
It means that the transaction process is complete - once the payment has been made, there will be no other transactions coming off your bet.
dooglus I guess worded it differently but better - you actually know the status of your bet - even when you lose.
But it goes one step further, the status can't change either.

You can't use a transaction twice ... without a lot of effort and only if done very soon after the original transaction.I don't understand why you pay that small amount even when losing. What is the motivation?

Please let people know about your games without spamming other games' threads. It's in bad taste.
Speaking of comments made in bad taste
yawn
Man... if you're going to rip off my site, at least make a better looking one. Yours is an uglier version with a chat window and no ability to bet over 1btc

We did take your feed back on board and revamped most of our site, All games support bitcoin links for easy betting and we borrowed your idea of having a blockchain.info link for each address. The chat window and log window will be the last to get a face lift
We will not spam our games to your clients in your thread when players are asking for our games whose description matches ours, but will will comment to say we do have those games.
We look forward to seeing your new site launch
No - it's not a free bump - it's you trying to steal his customers and using his popularity without paying for it and then making up excuses for it.

I won't be posting on your thread that SatoshiDice's new website is about to launch... for example.

I just read what http://www.satoshidice.com/bits.php has to say about it:
Quote
If you lose, the return your bet times 0.005
which looks like a typo to me - perhaps it should say 'they return your bet'? Either way, the losing payment is half of 1 percent of your bet.
