and will be possible to invest in LTC bankroll?

Will the faucet be separate of the Bitcoin faucet? (Can I claim the LTC faucet if I have BTC invested)?

I hope LTC will be asap to playd from Seuntjie dicebot

The more altcoins you add to the site you can increase your site traffic more and more for sure because many people will be mining many altcoins but they may not be interested in exchanging before start gambling those coins. So you can consider slowly to add as many as all top coins to the site.

Great!

wow fantastic new this move grow popularity of yolo

Good news everyone! We are adding Litecoin to YOLOdice this Monday. We'll take YD off-line for an hour or so, it will come back with support for LTC. You will be able to deposit, withdraw, play, send tips, claim rakeback, claim referral bonuses and get faucet in LTC in addition to BTC!

I know a lot of you have been waiting for LTC to be added, so I am glad it's so close now. Hopefully the small transaction fees and fast confirmations are also something worth waiting for!

There will also be a special competition on to give LTC a kick-start, stay tuned!

After that we'll be working on adding other coins too - if you have any suggestions, let us know!

I will keep you informed!

ethan_nx, have you tried the Lightning Network test net? Would it be something Yolodice would start using when it is released? I received some feedback from Bustadice that they have been "playing" with Lightning and that they are "optimistic" in what they see.

Plus with your Segwit readiness, you are one of the first candidates to use Lightning. I believe you are in a good position to use the new infrastructure.

Regarding recently disclosed CPU vulnerabilities - not data can leak out of our servers. We use virtualized servers provided by AWS and they made it clear their infrastructure prevents cross-client data leak.

I am much less worried about cross-process data leak because 1. malicious software would need to actively attack the CPU cache, 2. but it would first need to get to our instances first. So there is no emergency here, we'll be updating our server software anyway, but I do not see any real threat for us.

@veleten: we keep most of the funds in off-line wallets, but the kind of attack you describe is something we are trying to protect against.

First, we protect our servers with several security layers and there are only two persons (me and Scott) that have access to them. Now, if you read about the most famous cryptocurrency-related security breaches you can easily find out most were either inside-jobs or human-related issues. With two people onboard the risk of an "insider job" is much, much smaller.

Second, we actively monitor activity on our servers. If anything suspicious happened (a break-in attempt), we'd be alerted.

Third, cold wallets. One cannot just steal a seed, win big, withdraw and disappear. Having funds in cold wallet gives us enough time to act accordingly if the win was a result of seed leak.

Honestly I trust our system. I keep my Bitcoin savings at YOLOdice and I think they are safere there than on my PC.

Cheers,

all of the hardware wallets are unaffected by any type of a CPU related attack
simply because they do not have a cpu crystal first place
it is good that Yolodice (as,most likely,the majority of the gambling sites)
keep the  funds in hardware wallets,so the cold storage is not going to be in any danger
what concerns me if the servers are attacked and the server seed is leeked,not sure if this scenario is probable
but nonetheless,is Yolodice prepared for such an attack?

Yikes! This is a gambling thread but it seems everybody is talking about computer processors in this thread.

It would be best not to talk about off-topic things in these threads, it makes them messy.

To conclude these Specture and Meltdown attacks, they are mostly issues if you keep your content on a shared/virtual machine like with AWS/Google cloud. For the end user, an antivirus software should be sufficient.

now we are waiting for LTC be added to site, but I hope after that time, I dont need to wait another half/month to Seuntjie add yolodice ltc currency in bot and make update.

Since all Intel CPUs made since the Pentium I believe are all affected, that's highly unlikely. The performance hit is on syscalls (file system read/writes, things like that), so the performance hit will be different for certain applications based on how the application operates.

I think this performance drop is not fixed percentage. What I understood know is 2% to up to 30% but not sure what are the machines fall under that maximum performance drop criteria. If performance drop then machines under warranty then we should ask for replacement of machines because it is not to end users fault.

Is there a drop in performance after the update? They say there is a 30% drop once the update is installed, it is the primary reason why I am reluctant to do it on my already slow laptop which is running Windows 7.

Maybe Intel should recall all defective CPUs and replace them with a new one.

I am not too worried about this. Since they said they were putting out a patch for all windows machines from Microsoft to quell any doubts about what is safe and which are not.

I received an update last night and it installed and I am certain that my machine is protected.

Intel CPUs are heavily affected by all 3 attack scenarios.
They probably knew about this problem for quite a while, because the CEO
conveniently sold a lot of shares before the news about the vulnerability broke.

AMD CPUs are only vulnerable to one of the 3 attack scenarios if my source
is correct (Bounds Check Bypass). ARM CPUs are partially vulnerable to the same
attack, while other ARM CPUs are safe.

It is interesting that Bitcoin hardware wallets seem to be completely unaffected by this.
Now it is even more recommended to switch to a Bitcoin hardware wallet instead of running
a malware-infected desktop system.

News about Meltdown and Spectre have been mixed. Some report that it does not affect AMD chips while others say it affects all chips including ARM. Which really is it? I also saw a statement in Twitter saying that all computers with Intel CPUs should be upgraded.

Thankfully, other news say that the exploit cannot be done by your usual low level hackers because it requires more skill than downloading and running it.

If that's the case - I am keeping my fingers crossed. Everything that helps with transaction speed gets my attention!
