BingoBoingo: Stunna's been running his dice thing for quite some time. Never used it, but its enough to open an opportunity to interpret what he is doin charitably.
Stunna: we give people a significant amount more if they've wagered one coin though
Stunna: and it progresses as a user wagers more and gains levels
gabriel_laddel: Stunna: This is why I was asking. Google's OCR will solve your CAPCHA.
BingoBoingo not really a dice person. More into event betting.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I checked. No sub $31 BTC to be had today

Stunna: mike_c: A very very small amount back
mike_c: yeah, but, it's only 200 satoshis. Is that method working for you guys? not sure how long you've been doing the faucet.
Stunna: It's 200 satoshis until you've wagered 1BTC
Stunna: as an anti-bot measure, then it steps up quite considerably
mike_c: even still. just letting people play without having to deposit first seems like a great idea.
mike_c: by the time you lose it, you're maybe hooked.
