why did you change min bet from 0.001 to 0.01?? please explain! thanks!

EDIT: if you not roll back this change please change max bet from 250 to 2500 too! thanks!

Sorry for the delays in responding here, I just returned from our trip to Macau/Hong Kong (Macau gaming industry is now starting to learn about BTC Wink

)

We've increased the max bet from .001 to .01 for two reasons:

1) Due to the fee of .0005, players who are betting .01 are going to lose no matter what. It is not wise to bet .001 when fees are paid.
2) There was a player recently sending tons of .001 transactions to SatoshiDice. This caused most of the delays players have experienced over the past few days. Whether it was malicious or not, it seemed smarter to just remove that tiny bet option. Any "strategy" that used small bets like that is a bad strategy unless fees were not being paid, and fees should be paid by anyone sending so many transactions.

i was using 1FwRf32RKkMUKZtdX58io4mv6jsJC3cNre but i had one prior now you say .00X is pointless but the strategy actually wasn't bad because the event of say 3 loses and then a win at a increase of say 2.9 the intial wager would still net profit the only instance this is not the case was when you would get more then say 14 loses in a row which does happen and it bankrupts you lol as you can see both in that address and one other one where i was fooling with some .001 bids transaction fee's were being paid ..

so was my bets causing SD to lag ?

anyways i would kindly urge SD to re allow .001 min's or at the very least .003 .005 and then just step up there game on the server side if it's causing the system to lag out ..

a bet is still a bet and money in your pocket is still money in your pocket Sad
