Bets seem slower since most recent maintenance ...
Bets are slower for sure. Response time from PD3 (which was also slow) is down a lot. Will update with how many ms it went down exactly once I find the previous times saved somewhere on my desktop.
Might be the main problem with PD.
Bets are slow indeed. And that's really strange because the faster the bets the more they earn, I don't understand why they don't upgrade seriously the site for that. Because compared to betking or betcoin they're slow :/
OP has refused to answer me despite the fact that I have asked him multiple times here and on PD chat. Yes they could upgrade hardware/hosting, but they don't.. I've probably asked all dice site owners the same thing at some point in the past, and usually the answer is that it costs too much to upgrade,
but those sites (FD, JD, FJ, Bitsler) roll speeds are overall a lot faster than PD. PD is certainly not low on funds if they can hold a 20BTC giveaway (bingo). Also this is a problem for most players on PD, or rather an annoyance.
Me ?
In my opinion, overall bets speeds on PD4 are much faster than PD3, especially if you disable the Animations. The difficult thing about increasing bet speed even more, something Stunna has discussed several times in this thread, and people often forget, is that, it would be
possible to increase bet speed, but highly costly.
Sure, other sites like Just-Dice and BetKing and whatever, have faster bets, but they have nowhere near the volume of bets PD does. Primedice has close to 12 Billion bets made, with Millions made each day, those other sites have only a fraction of the bet volume.
Upgrading hardware to increase bet speed is already costly, but due to the sheer number of bets that PD processes per day, it would most likely be extremely expensive, if not completely cost ineffective.
