Monero has a dice game now (outside IRC).
(cross-posted from the ANN)
I wrote a laudative article about cryptocoins-dice.com. Not sponsored of course, everything is my very own opinion, untainted.
Bet on Monero!I also made the necessary arrangements to check the identity of Bobbax. We agreed I would keep those information to myself but I can assure you the site is legit (still, only invest what you can afford to lose). If you are wondering if my opinion is worth something, you can always check my reputation thread on my sig.
Excerpts from my article:
Bobbax decided to "sit on the shoulder of giants" and reuse what works elsewere.
So, on top of the usual (for cryptos) 1% house hedge, the site sports plenty of keyboard shortcuts to play the popular martingale-style without the mouse (C to double bet on loss, X to halve bet once won, H and L to play high or low and plenty of other shortcut). Inspiration here is clearly just-dice.
But CCD goes further and borrows one great idea from primedice: an in-browser bot. Longtime just-dice players know about the fantastically powerful Seuntje's bot (a Windows application). Without being that powerful, CCD's in-browser bot is much stronger than the primedice one. For start, it can be used with keyboard shortcuts too (B to start playing). Second, it offers "cut losses" and "take profit" options on top of the regular "max bets" and "actions on win"/"actions on loss". And it also has some useful stats (stats are your friend when bot-martingaling). Oh, one more thing™: the bot is fast! I mean, really fast. Just-dice greatly reduces the speed of playing with a bot by introducing quite a large delay. primedice's bot is just anemic and the whole interface is heavy on load. On the contrary, CCD's bot is just fast. Do not worry though: if you want to keep it to a humanly manageable level, you can introduce an artificial delay (500 ms between bets as default).
Investment is really simple. You deposit money on your account (like for just-dice, you can avoid keeping an account but then it means you rely solely on cookies to keep your money - I don't recommend it). Once the money is deposited, you go to the "my invest" tab and deposit what you want. The site will take 10% of your investment profit when you divest, that's all. Exactly like just-dice. And of course, you can invest on all the currencies, not just one.
Like several chats (including the famous Poloniex trollbox), CCD has protips. They will surely grow in variety with time. The chat also has plenty of command line options (use /help for a list, 17 for the moment). One exclusive thing that I instantly appreciated about the chat is the "character count". A dynamic "progress bar" shows you how far you are from hitting the limit. This is something that frustrates me immensely on Poloniex: text getting truncated without notice (at least you can see it before submitting, but still). With the awesome "progress bar", no more surprise anymore
