I am watching this thread rather heavily in anticipation of me updating the Overview of Popular Bitcoin Gambling Websites thread and bringing it back up to standard soon. So essentially, you think they're just going to make a runner? The images you have in the OP are rather telling and indicative of an issue.

In my opinion, it's hard to tell whether the behavior of dadice is actually shady (ie, indicative of someone about to do a runner) or merely reflective of someone who feels like they're being pushed around.  That is, out of nowhere, all sorts of folks started demanding all sorts of proof about their bankroll.  At first, several competitors of dadice were the ones offering to "privately" verify the bankroll.  It seems to me that a perfectly legitimate interpretation is that dadice felt pushed around, decided to stand up for their rights not to reveal their private information, and to stand on their budding reputation as a legit site.

The other situation has also been clearly expressed by the detractors in this thread, ie, they won't prove their bankroll because they can't.  I'm in the camp which believes that the best thing to do here now is to let everyone's head-of-steam cool down for a while and see what happens.

people have played on dadice and will play on it as most of them dont care about cold storage and stuff they just want good design and thats it

Wouldn't you think most players would care that the site is able to actually pay them out in the event that they won a lot?

Yes, of course they would.  But a lot of players will consider that withdrawing and deposting with success again and again is indicative of future success.  I'm not here to debate the logical flaws in that sort of reasoning, I just think it's worth bearing in mind that the point of view of the typical player isn't about whether some mysterious wallet backend banksafe exists (they don't expect to be able to see it if does), but whether the stuff they *do* see works well, ie, their own deposits and withdrawals.
