Probably 18 or so.

Can I ask why you're asking?

If I was to do it all again, I would have worked on the site for an extra month before launch. I launched before I was really ready, thinking I would be able to polish it up later. What I didn't realise was how much work and stress the day to day running of the site would be, and how little time and energy I'd have for adding new features.

I thought he was asking about the time before launch, when I was first working on the site.

Sure, I'm just curious and I believe you did a very good job on developing the website and keeping it up for as long as it lasted. The stress was probably a lot of pressure on you and from your success, I can say you did a good job handling everything. You pretty much built a very reputable name for yourself and a lot of people respect you for that including myself.

One more thing if you don't mind answering. I'm sure you've had tons of offers regarding someone else running the site for you and you keeping full control of the development/code ect. Why haven't you accepted any of those offers? Or no offer has caught your eye enough for you to be interested.

Thanks

I'm wondering about this too. I'm one of those people with one of those types of offers. I mean, I'd stake my name so that dooglus doesn't have to (as far as legal is concerned.) It's legal (more or less) to operate an online gambling site where I am.

Dead, dt know their password or username, forgot they have a JD account, dust accounts

If the 600BTC that dooglus is talking about is the 692, there will only be 300-400BTC left; maybe to be distributed in 6months in a big game with 300 prizes of 1BTC, spread the fun!

I never got the 'pending withdrawal' feature set up. I can see in the logs what address people have tried to withdraw to, but I can't be sure they still want a withdrawal of that amount to that address.

There were several hundred coins in the JD hot wallet most of the time the site was running, to allow big players to withdraw instantly, and it never proved to be a problem.

The 300 BTC were pulled from the hot wallet last night, so I've put the rest in there now. This time I've split it up into 10 equal pieces, so the withdrawal should go more smoothly this time. (I don't spend unconfirmed chance, so if there's a single large output in the wallet and you try to withdraw your balance in two equal parts, the first withdrawal will leave unconfirmed change in the wallet, and you'll have to wait for it to confirm before your second withdrawal will be allowed. That's what happened last night).

The developer writes the code that tells the server what to do. If you can't understand the code he writes, you've no idea what he has told your server to do. It could be doing anything, up to and including sending him all the server seeds and hot wallet contents.

You pretty much have to trust him - or have someone you trust review all of his code (and, of course, don't grant him access to the server, or he can just change it after it has been reviewed).

what about my tortoise?
