Here's my thinking: YOLOdice is not for sale. Definitely not to a random unknown buyer. I can image a few scenarios in which I would consider selling YOLOdice, but I don't think it would be an easy process. As you can imagine, it's not just about the money.

Since people are withdrawing I can hear a lot of complains about withdrawal fees. It's been something I've been fighting with since day 1. BitcoinCore fee estimations suck in a big way - for some reason the developers have chosen the worst possible way to do it, based on historical data and not the current state of mempool. I've been trying to use external services (btc.com) for fees, but this ended pretty badly because their API was very unstable. Since I am not fanatic about improving BTC I did not want to dig into the actual BC code and fix it, so we have to live with that for a few more days :-/

Edit: replaced "fanatic" with "not fanatic". sorry about the confusion.

Here i wonder, is "one" of the reasons you want to suspend the site, the constant complaints / problems, with the high bitcoincoin core fees ?

if yes, why not abandon btc and continue the site with altcoins (ltc, doge, etc). from what i heard just-dice went this way and was successful with it by now (even though clam drops into the cellar, but thats more a coin problem, since it has no say in the cryptosphere).

Also if you pause contests for a while and some other changes to minimize the work for you and scott on the site, you could keep running it, without having the burden to worry on it constantly. Could that be worth a thought ?

greetings, whore-ray

I keep some investment in Yolodice, and I must say that I understand why they closing down his business.
After six months, I am at a loss was about -30% in LTC and have some minor profit of around 3% in my Doge investment. If they also operated according to that model and shared profit/loss with investors, then it is expected to close the business there.
Also, I lose there some of my coins due to security reason, I never got a reasonably detailed explanation of what happened and who withdrew my coins from his site.
