Regarding the allegation made that Dean Nolan from betking owed 2 BTC for outstanding licence fees:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4751127.msg47317090#msg47317090betking was listed here in the scammer list:
https://www.bustabit.com/license.txt as "
Sites that are violating the terms of bustabit's open source license and should not be considered trustworthy"
A couple of days after the allegation was made in the thread, betking was removed from the scammer list.
You mentioned you have no dispute with Dean Nolan or betking but were you or Bustabit or Bustadice in dispute before that post was made, say last week, last month or ever?
Did Dean Nolan or betking recently make a payment to get betking removed from the licence.txt page?
When and why was betking added to the list in the first place and why was it removed from that list a couple of days ago?
Thank you
BetKing launched its crash game using bustabit's source code without complying with its open source license or having purchased a paid license from bustabit. That's why I added betking.io to the list of sites pirating bustabit's software. After about ten days Dean finally took the game offline, so I removed it from the list again. Now it looks like he's relaunched the game still using slightly obfuscated bustabit code, but I'm not sure pursuing it is worth all the potential drama.
I am not too familiar with the background to this website and the game but it seems from your post that bustabit was originally owned by somebody else then was purchased by the OP.
Please can somebody confirm
I acquired bustabit in January of this year from Ryan, its previous owner.
There is not any Bustabit code in the relaunched version and we even use different libraries for graphing.
You know we were under the opinion, wrongly, that we were able to use that code after discussing it with RHavar.
Then we spoke and I asked if we could work something out which is why it was up so long. You didn't ask it to be taken down on day 1, it was about 7 days later you asked after we decided we were going to rewrite it anyway.
