Note really. Just with SatoshiDice you have to deposit separately for every bet and withdraw after. It's no wonder it's slower with such overhead.

Yes. Just-Dice is better in every way than SatoshiDice, as I explained in a previous post. SatoshiDice recently tried launching an off-chain competitor for Just-Dice called "tribute" or some such, but it was a bug-ridden disaster that was quickly withdrawn. Apparently they plan to relaunch it "soon".

That wouldn't be surprising. Bitcoin users don't install crappy 'toolbars', so how would the stats be collected? It's a single page site for the most part, so it's hard to judge how long the average visit lasts for. But I just demonstrated that your math here was all wrong.
[QUOTE=northeastbeast;41954382]3. Owners of bitcoin worth millions of dollars would have had to trust him by sending them to just-dice.com instead of a site where they could bet remotely and maintain control of their +million dollar pile of coins.
That is demonstrably the case. See
https://blockchain.info/address/14o7...J6USgChq7iWF86 - it's where I keep the millions of dollars worth of funds that are bankrolling the site. If you don't believe me, I can cryptographically sign a message using that Bitcoin address. There's an example of such a signature in the Just-Dice FAQ.

1 in 25 chances happen about 4% of the time. We've covered this one.
