hab mir erst mal schnell hide[dot]me geholt. funzt alles wieder soweit. mich würde nur mal ein statement von Freebitco[dot]in interessieren.
übrigens. hatte zufällig ne niederländische vpn adresse ausgewählt. das ist die seite auch geblockt. hab imo ne französische.
mal schauen wie lange ^^

ich weiss nicht inwieweit das alles noch vertrauenswürdig ist. ohne ankündigung. hätte auch mal schnell alles weg sein können.
sehr grenzwertig.

nachtrag:
hab gerade was gelesen über die niederlande.
das problem ist das gambling auf der seite. deswegen wird auch D die seite geblockt haben.
ist laut den niederländischen behörden illegales glücksspiel.

Listen, I'll just have to tell you what I have in mind: I like what JD did - shut down BTC and started their own coin. But I don't think this solved the main problem IMO - whoever admins the site still is responsible for the coins, for the server security, for software etc. If you want to do it right, it's a 24/7 job with alerts waking you up in the middle of night. That's how it is if you want to run a reliable site. It gets better over time as you code matures, you solve most of daily maintenance issues etc.

I am thinking about starting a new blockchain with stakeable coins, but at the same time offering investor and player roles similar to dice sites. In addition to staking you could put your coins in the "bankroll". Players on the other hand could issue transactions similar to "bets" that would win or lose, based on verifiable distributed random number generation.

- The game itself would be a part of the blockchain protocol, so there would be no need to keep data centralized.
- The investors would always have control over their coins (no need to deposit them to any site).
- Investors would gain from both staking and providing coins for the bankroll (with game volatility involved).
- The game would be provably fair for both players AND investors (!!!).
- The blockchain would be fully distributed, no central storage or site. Ideally it would not be "owned" by anyone either.
- For the chain to be attractive I believe some social aspects should be implemented too - user accounts, chat, avatars etc.

It's still an early idea. If we decide to follow it, there will be numerous challenges, but hey, it could be really fun!

It's still to early to talk about ICO, but the idea keeps evolving in my mind and I have started exploring some technical aspects already.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Ethan

I'm guessing the biggest reason is that Ethan wants to shut down is that he doesn't want to deal with the stress of making sure the balances of all investors (BTC bankroll alone was > 100 BTC, or roughly 5 million USD at current rates) are safe. Continuing with altcoins likely wouldn't solve that issue, especially since ETH & LTC are fairly major coins too.

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.

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

If it's annoying then we should already see some complaints or suggestions about it. It means everyone is used to it and no problem at all.

What are those several sites according to you that are not resetting the settings even after a refresh?

I have always knew that you were not really here for any bad complaints to make yolo look bad or anything, and this is sort of the proof of that. Basically this was a request, a type of suggestion, and if it got a lot of attention I am sure yolodice would have considered it, not really sounds like a huge problem, it sounds like a common and easy thing to do if they want to, but others didn't really agree so we ended up with nothing like this.

On top of that we also have other stuff to worry about, that is why your suggestion wasn't cared at all, we are talking about much bigger stuff. All those money lost, all those investor losses, all those promotional and other things that should be promoting this website so that we can have more gamblers, there are tons of other stuff we focus on right now so I doubt yolodice would care about small changes right now.

I am not an expert but I think it is related to this setting being client sided and not saved in the server. Like the chat when I log in I saw some comments from ignored users just before I log then the new one disappear.
