Sorry if I'm being harsh, but a few days ago I was just considering divesting because I hate gambling, as I'm torn between the "it's their own choice to give me free money" vs. "this should never happen, and I'm part of the problem instead of part of the solution".
Sorry for this post, I really appreciate the work doog is doing, he has managed to create the fairest gambling site so far, still... being the fairest is not enough, apparently.
I still have to decide if I want to still be part of it or not.
No, I'm with you 100%. I struggle with the same issues.
On the one hand Just-Dice is demonstrably fair. Players can be sure they're getting fair rolls, and a low house edge. They know they're going to be paid out if they win, that we're not going to "disappear" with their balance, and all that good stuff.
But on the other hand, the site is over 7000 BTC up from people losing their coins. Some of those people couldn't help themselves.
The libertarian in me says "that's their own fault - they should take responsibility for their decisions", and yet it still feels bad when I get the sad emails telling me how badly the loss has hit them.
So I can kind of excuse myself with a "if it wasn't Just-Dice, they'd go elsewhere and lose". But that's not necessarily true. Especially for the people who come to invest, wouldn't otherwise even look at a gambling site, and then play and lose. And so I'm torn.
