I got sick of advertising Just-Dice in my signature, given that it is no running. I discovered dicebitco.in a couple of days ago and liked what I saw. The site is very nicely designed, and while it has a whole bunch of "rough edges" which need rounding off, it does have a very responsive developer who is willing and able to fix things, and they also seem to have a great attitude to things.

I was invested to the tune of 20 BTC yesterday (and lost around 0.01 in the process as the site profit dove deeper into the negative), then pulled it back to 5 BTC overnight (and won around 0.12 in the process as the site profit rose back up again) when I got scared by a withdrawal bug.

I don't know the owners of the site, and don't know how trustworthy they are. I do see that they voluntarily published a cold wallet address, with a signature proving it's theirs, I see that they have allowed me to make instant withdrawals of 6 BTC and 10 BTC, and heard that last night they processed a 50 BTC withdrawal from cold storage.

For some reason I get a good feeling about the site. Maybe I'm just taken in by the slick design, I don't know. It kind of feels like "why would someone go to the trouble of designing such a nice site only to rip people off?" - but a possible answer to that question is in the question itself: "only to rip people off"...

In short, I don't know whether the site is trustworthy or not, but I hope it is. There's definitely a gap in the market for a large-scale crowd-funded dice site after JD shut up shop. I'm hoping this place can fill JD's boots.
