The dice sites can take any cryptocurrency and convert them to tokens for playing and again convert them back to currency when withdrawing. This way a site can support many coins without causing any lag on the game.

I don't think it matter about PrimeDice's coding abilities, they are perfectly capable of creating whatever is necessary to accept altcoins. I think it's more of not being necessary to PrimeDice, as altcoins can become a pain sometimes, with their fluctuating prices and how many there are.

If prices of altcoins are fluctuating and that is a problem then bitcoin is king of stability then. With price spikes of more than $300 in one day.
It is not about fluctuation, as PD or any other casino don't care about this. It is more a waste of time and effort to introduce something new for less than 1% of your userbase.

Yes I agree with this. If it was essential then they would of done it a long time ago. But in reality it doesn't make a difference in what currency you are gambling with since your odds don't change.

I don't think it would be a good idea. They are the leading Bitcoin gambling site, so they don't want to break this brand and just become a crypto gambling site. Bitcoin is king of crypto and if you are the best already in the business, you don't want to deal with the problem of multiple tokens.

But do you think that expand their market on crypto will make them even more success then today? I think that is not a wrong move to do. Make a good vision on the future will good moreover if the price is on top and it will always be traded because people keep on using it on gambling

Possibly, but PrimeDice doesn't need to improve their site at the moment, so there's no need to add altcoins. They are doing fine going bitcoin only and they are the largest gambling site, so I don't think they need to put in the work to accept altcoins. Also, PrimeDice might not find altcoins appealing due to the sheer number of them and how they aren't worth very much compared to bitcoin.

they always need to improve if they want to stay relevant. otherwise they will lose their share of the market .

also primedice recently has announced they are going to make some changes and everybody is super excited about it.

I haven't heard about this new PD's announcement. I am gonna check their thread to learn some more now. I hope it is not about adding additional altcoins to the pool.
Especially now when Ethereum has been compromised by hackers.

If you want to gamble using a alt coin for a known dice site theres always the option of just-dice.

Although if they do decide to adopt like how just-dice, I can imagine their choice would be ether? since it already has crazy price value.

theyre doing good with bitcoins and i dont think adding another crypro currencies would be necessary since pd running smoothly and for focusing bitcoin is the wiser choice for them because bitcoin is the only stable coin among other existed there and the value of other alt are decreasing thats why adding alts is not really good.

The more the merrier !! I think they should but I don't think they will. They so big already and things are going just great as they are. There is no need to fiddle.

I wonder what you think about PrimeDice allowing to gamble with other currencies? I would totally find it cool if they would allow us to gamble with Ethereum for example. I know I can just use Shapeshift or so, but it would be cool if it would work directly on the PrimeDice site. What is your opinion?

I think using altcoins would be good but that would make the site look more bogus and un-easy for big gamblers. Primedice mainly has biggest bitcoin gamblers and hence they want the sharks ( big gamblers ) to feel easy.

no i dont think so i think in present time the bitcoin is enough. i think now the bitcoin is becoming popular and they should not create the confusion. i think the simplist way is to accept the bicoin only.

The only other crypto we'd consider is Ethereum, and we've certainly discussed adding it. This isn't in the pipeline at this moment but it's on our mind. Right now our focus is finalizing and releasing the new version of the site which is in testing.

WOW that is what actually make me love primedice because you guys even though running the most popular bitcoin dice site still are encouraged to make new versions. Anyways my vote is yes add ethereum please.

Bitcoin is fine for me Cheesy

True but adding more coins would not disturb you bitcoin gambling at all. Primedice is a smooth and easy to use website and will be the same I believes once more and more coins are integrated. I think adding new coins will just give rise to more gamblers using primedice.

i think it would never happen and i personally don't want it and i think this is could be the characteristic from primedice the dice sites who accept bitcoin and although they only accept 1 cryptocurrency but they are still the most popular currently

I love primedice as it is now and adding new coin like ethereum will it get more users and the chat will get almost impossible to talk at. Please I urge primedice to make no more changes, its best as it is.

I don't think you guys understand the mental stress of having to deal with multiple currencies. Currencies that a lot of time are scams and end up making users bankrupt, currencies with software that is faulty and sometimes even has malware on it, currencies that end up dead and the blockchain wouldn't sync.. this translates into angry customers.

It's better to accept the big currency only and save yourself problems.

Aye. I'm in favor of my favorite gambling wallet to accept my shitbits! Now I can make back those losses I picked up from Dogecoin a while back, huehuehue.

I think I am in support of adding new coins and currencies to primedice as adding new coins will make me bet accordingly, for example we can bet with dogecoins then I would feel much better because they are much lesser value than btc

. I mean easy to make strategies at least for me Wink
