Sorry, but that's the impression I got because you also called them stupid and braindead.
From the quote below it's seems they are also suffering from the same issue you mentioned,
if "use transactions in a more conservative way" means avoiding multisend.
They are a young service and hopefully they will work this out.
I realize satoshidice is sometimes slow... but for the past few days I always had to wait at least five minutes before I even know if I won or not. Often times it's even longer.
Is this just me? Or that happens to others too?
Sorry, that was a database change I made. I make it use transactions in a more conservative way which ended up being a good bit slower so it was having trouble keeping up with people's bets. It should be much better now. I really need to track some metrics of bet to result time so that this sort of issue is more obvious to us.
Guessing from their website that is not whats happening. AFAICT, their site posts the result of a bet before sending the coins. Implementing multisend is really dead-simple and would have little effect on payout times if done even close to remotely properly. Doing multisend is a simple as queuing outputs and running a cronjob to send coins, even if they did it every minute, their total transaction volume would decrease by something like 500-1000%
