7 days to go I'm too excited to start investing in ICO.

Hope you don't invest much. This is even worse than LIR and GBT. Which were both terrible investments as well (and left their investors with a nice.. 100% loss).
Well, it is true that previous gambling related coins were disaster. Both Let It Ride and GameBet Coin are now basically worthless.
But that doesn't mean that we can't have serious and successful gambling related coin.
I would personally wait for the first/second week of crowdsale and measure interest in vDice before I make up my mind about investing.
And if you have any doubts about this or any other projects. Don't invest.

Most questions on this forum lately have revolved around proof verification for bets.

So, to address that issue here, for anyone interested:

For the proof verification, most of our clients are good with the offchain-network-monitor, as it is opensource ( https://github.com/oraclize/offchain-network-monitor ) and already deployed for simplicity at http://app.oraclize.it/service/monitor

For a manual verification of single proofs, once you have downloaded them from IPFS and you have the file, this is a pagesigner proof fully compatible with browser extension

One thing to note is that the oracles.js file of the extension has to be replaced with ours (because in includes details of our notary servers)
You can find it here https://github.com/oraclize/offchain-network-monitor/blob/master/assets/js/oracles.js

The original pagesigner is there: https://github.com/tlsnotary/pagesigner/
It's a chrome extension, which anybody can install

Here more details: https://tlsnotary.org/pagesigner.html
Other details here: https://tlsnotary.org/audits.html

So, to recap…

For automatic checks of last proofs, you just go there: http://app.oraclize.it/service/monitor

For manual verification of single proofs: you have to checkout https://github.com/tlsnotary/pagesigner/
You replace this file https://github.com/tlsnotary/pagesigner/blob/master/content/oracles.js with https://github.com/oraclize/offchain-network-monitor/blob/master/assets/js/oracles.js

From chrome, you go to chrome://extensions/ , click on "load unpacked extension" and select the "pagesigner" folder you got at step "a"

Once the pagesigner extension is installed, you click on "import .pgsg file", you select the downloaded file proof and the extension verifies it

For the verification, that's all
