I'm running ./sbtcd headless in order to claim mine, any idea how big the blockchain is for this?

This is a real shame if true, and I lay the blame solely at the BTG developers. In ANY new cryptocurrency project it's necessary to consider the roll-out, communication and user experience not just writing code. Failure to do so results in user frustration, scams and an unsuccessful project (usually). This isn't even new information, we've seen it happen time and time again with projects that implode from lack of timely updates or not communicating with their userbase well enough.

Finally, NEVER trust your private keys to an online service ever , unless you're willing to lose them.

I (and many others) don't keep bitcoin or our private keys on any exchange. Just basic common sense really.

Since Bitcoin Gold has finally launched it would be nice to collaborate on safe methods for claiming our BTG. Similiar to how people put out guides for when BCH launched and no one was sure they could trust the client. However I see that the current wallet download requires a full node download (150GB). Has anyone tried to claim their BTG using this method yet?

Seems it would require sending on the BTC to a new wallet, them importing the old wallets private keys into the BTG client to claim BTG.

@apcoins I'm also living here, did you really miss the story about Hotel Adam bottling tap water to sell to tourists?

login broken.

At this point SD seems uncommunicative to the point of comedy. I'd take any investment with the house as a big risk until there's evidence to the contrary or new updates explaining:


1. Why the site changed to an email based login

2. Why all the recent downtime and no prior warning of downtime.

Otherwise treat your deposits as disposable assets and don't be surprised if they go missing one day.

site down for me also, why is SD so consistently bad at announcing downtime (if that's what this actually is) ?

If not, perhaps users lost funds, cuz......who knows what's going on right?

Why did no one even question why the site suddenly switch to email / password?
What was wrong with the old method?

Classic pump and dump......again

No one in Iceland gives a shit about AUR, it came, pump and dumped and went. Everyone's much more interested in selling tap water to tourists these days.

Is anyone able to actually use the SD API ?
I keep getting errors when testing any of the calls.

31th of October 2015:
An urgent server update is being performed. Account balances and investor funds are safe.

Any chance we'll see API support for house investors?
Also your links to the API FAQ (https://satoshidice.com/test/faq/) and a lot of others on the bottom of that page are 404'd

......and down again for maintenance.
Nice....real nice.

Confirming it's back up for me now and my investment is still there.

It's a bit worrying that there's no update here nor twitter, nor on the site itself.

Any updates as to when we can expect site to be back up?

As I've mentioned before there's only two large datacenter companies here in Iceland, Verne Global and Advania. Almost all Icelandic ones you see mentioned are reselling racking from one or the other. There may be some specially built facilities coming online here in the next few months but they'll also most likely be contracted out to one of those two companies for at least the build.

Not currentyly though it is something we'll be considering for the future. The bitcoin situation is legally murky right now. The literal interpretation of the law in Iceland seems to imply bitcoin are illegal to transact in. Mining however is not something addressed by current law.
    Adding in the currency controls that Iceland has had in place since 2008 makes this more of an issue too. One of my other projects was a political party here in Iceland (the Pirate Party of Iceland) and I'm aware they're at least discussing crypto currencies in committee there, but none of that would get resolved until after summer is over.
    While I'm not a big fan of Auroracoin, the airdrop here at least forced the issue and introduced most of the population to the idea of bitcoin and crypto currencies.
