We lost a lot yesterday (investor I mean)

One of the returning highrollers had a lucky streak.

Really?? because It seems someone was creating many accounts and placing exactly 2 bets (exactly the same bet). Tricking your system...
This player appears to be placing semi automated betting in order to use more than one account and change betting amount quickly. But timing of bets make absolutely no difference in our system because different game rounds have no common seed, and we don't use nonces. Each bet has a new server random, salt and hash. Bets can't be multithreaded either. This player has been playing before and created random changes to the bankroll, which is expected when a highroller bets fast. Satoshi Dice does not have the same vulnerability that Hufflepuff used to cheat PD.

By the way I cannot access to my funds...
Please PM your account hash if you still can't access your funds. I will look into it at once.

SD has an API in order for it to be easy for people to place bets.  By running the house with an edge, you would assume that they just want as many bets as possible,  no matter if they are placed by bot accounts or if they follow a weird betting pattern.  As far as I could see from the video some guy posted of Hufflepuff's betting, it appeared to be normal bets,  but then from the post that Sunna made to explain the cheat, I don't see how they could NOT notice that Hufflepuff was executing duplicate bets in several threads (or I didn't understand the cheat).

btw nice API.  It would even be possible to use it for third party games or wallet/tumbling systems, and have temporarily deposited funds automatically grow with the bankroll of SD.
