The problem is when new expenses pop up without an explanation. Why was the IP rights charge only applied this month? SatoshiRoller was introduced months ago. How are you calculating the services / fees paid?

This is about transparency, not about wanting satoshidice to run off no expenses.

Well this is quite a different thing, and probably legitimate. The OP was going off the appalling deep end etc.

@miscreanity what you say is true, the operator is not obliged to answer; still, in general transparency is a good idea as much as practicable.

Hi!

Could somebody tell me what the relation between SD profits and its dividends on MPEx is?

Looking at what dooglus posted

+1166.55910974 2013/03/31
+3760.48177700 2013/04/30

and what shows up on MPEx

Quote

445.08812214 BTC on 05-04-13 Per share: 890 satoshi.
1`795.55981337 BTC on 02-05-13 Per share: 3591 satoshi.

I don't see the connection too clearly, as the ratio has changed : 445 / 1166 is not 1795 / 3760 Huh

Thanks in advance!

Because as miscreanity explains MPEx shares are non-voting, the operator is also required to maintain 50% of shares in his possession at all times. This means that only the dividends paid to half the shares are actually reported by MPEx, as for instance:

Quote

May 02 23:22:33 [MPEX] [S.DICE] [PAID] 1,795.55981375 BTC to 50`000`000 shares, 3591 satoshi per share

This system allows the investors to verify each month that no excess shares are floating on the exchange.

The 3591 satoshi per share figure is consistent with the total profit (3591.1196275 BTC) divided by the total number of shares (100,000,000). The total dividend paid out (1,795.55981375 BTC) is consistent with the sum due to 50,000,000 shares.

Dooglus lists total income (3760.48177700), from which some expenses have been subtracted, discussed above.
