Magic Dice Exit Scam?

samotonakatoshi (65) · 6 years ago (edited)

@themarkymark
Do not only contact Binance (he could have traded here anonymously). There are also transactions that lead from Bittrex to @magicdice (6 months ago). I am really convinced that withdrawals from Bittrex were stopped for unverified users. Even in late 2017, the limit was lowered to 0.025 BTC, but this transaction contains 5k SBD. I hope this could help a lot with identifying him.

EDIT: @zombee (and even @magicdice1) has indeed made a few transactions to @bittrex - and with one memo for each coin (SBD/STEEM).

I don’t think either of these sites will(or should) easily give up user information. I’d recommend, if possible, trying to get the authorities to investigate and ask for the information themselves.

samotonakatoshi (65) · 6 years ago

I can't see any direct transfer or anything between magicdice's accounts and powerguy that would not be bets, referral or dividends claims.

But I found that @powerguy is owner of these accounts: @assassinss, @crypto-miner, @dice-dice, @diceking, @kingdice, @powerguy, @steem-nice, @steem-steem.

So it really stinks... those accounts were the biggest wagerrers.. so @powerguy was 'mining' the tokens all the time, not just in the beginning. What is interesting that @powerguy received transactions through binance (screenshot below), although he uses upbit. I like the memo of these txs.

I know you're right, however, we have a lot of data, maybe even steem witnesses can help us to clarify their presence. dapps are like ico for eth anyone can scam without problems. In fact eth has lost a lot for the erc20 tokens. Steem is doing the same with dapps, only that eth is huge as a market cap, steem if it continues like this it dies

I have just found that @powerguy with his accounts use this memo for binance: 103700729. But nobody else uses it. So powerguy has a separate Binance account, as it is not possible to create new memo here.

I have noticed that they were transferring huge amounts of Steem to @magicdice1 and then to Binance. I also planned to write something about the whole ecosystem (everyone was betting for dividends, that would not be sustainable and the volume of bets would decrease over time). Unfortunately, I was too lazy. I am quite surprised right now, I did not really think they would exit scam. They were taking (according to what they showed on the site) whole 60% of profits, so wouldn't their profits be somehow legitimate if they did not exit scam?

I also fell into it, lost some STEEMs in exchange for dividends, but I do not need them. Thank you for your article and I hope they will be punished for their actions.

Daily withdrawal limit on Binance for unverified users is set to 2 BTC so it is very probable that they traded here somewhat anonymously. 580k Steems over a time span of 5 months is not that much.

"I am quite surprised right now, I did not really think they would exit scam."
That is surprising after you stated yourself the fact that the business model of Magic Dice is unsustainable in the long term.
They probably lied with saying that they are taking 60% of the profits.
Based on your statement ("everyone was betting for dividends, that would not be sustainable and the volume of bets would decrease over time"), the Magic Dice exit scam is (was) not surprising, but expected.

$0.00

samotonakatoshi (65) · 6 years ago

I knew people would become less and less encouraged to bet for dividends over time. I was imagining only that the volume would go down, but definitely not that they would exit scam. I even noticed these large transactions to Binance, but I though there could be a rational explanation and exit scam did not even come up in my mind. I was afraid of Drugwars going exit scam, but definitely not Magicdice... As I said, I just thought the volume would go slowly down and that the daily leaderboard would still encourage some people to bet (although still less and less). I saw these red flags (not so long ago), I should have expected this.

By exit scamming, they definitely took more than 60%. It is also questionable how much dividends they owned and if they collaborated with @powerguy and his accounts - which were the biggest wagerrers on the site.

nathen007 (68) · 6 years ago

Absolutely agree about it being an unsustainable business model especially when a few bit bot owners were taking the vast majority of the rokens.
Kryptogamers seem to be addressing this by using tradable tokens on Steem engine and have said will buy tokens back. Not sure this is perfect but it's better I think.

Of course, but bots play 24hr and I am sure are created not to lose more than the benefits in dividend payments then of course it's an ever decreasing circle so the 'risk' is almost non existent.

Sorry to see it happened but guess we all see it coming when things going off here and there recently(we do keeping a close eye on the gaming industry on Steam).

Fortunately, EpicDice can pretty much fills up the hole left empty by MD, with second-to-none transparency level in the whole industry, promptly customer service mainly responsible by @fr3eze (aka blocksensei). All on top of most straightforward provably-fair verification system. We aim to build a true blockchain gaming platform as trustless as possible whereby most of our business logic could be monitored and audited by anyone, if they choose to.

Furthermore in the near future, we have a major release that would likely boom the value of our native SE token (EPC), a plan to expand our reach by hiring moderators from the community, and endless effort in improving our platform.

We are still in the infant stage of our journey (only 3% of token were minted), and we really looking forward for your participation.

Talk to us, or we shall see you in the game!

xyzashu (75) · 6 years ago (edited)

I can definitely vouch for @epicdice though their platform is not as robust as MD yet. But as said by them, they are still in their infancy atm. They badly need some automated betting integration or compatibility with tools like mydicebot & boookeeping and a fat bankroll for allowing bigger bets.

The only major issue I see with @epicdice is they don't know the difference between STEEM & SBD and consider both at par! MD used to pay dividends in STEEM + SBD according to the profits in the currency wagered. ED should follow that or should not offer an option to wager with SBD. It's quite unfair of them.

Otherwise, their communication, intention and operations look fair to me among all other games here.

^{Disclosure:

I'm the largest EPC holder after the team holdings.}

mehta (80) · 6 years ago

I agree with you @xyzashu about the things you mentioned above about @epicdice.
I remembered that you warn me about the @magicdice that they was not good and not communicate properly from day one, and you did not play too much there. I also see many times their communication on discord server that they are hiding the things. But i seen @themarkymark is playing too hard and didn't check & find out their intention. That's the worst point of @themarkymark. The @marky only checked their batting fairness.

Thank good @xyzashu to not played magicdice. Only testing the platform and warn about from day one about their unfairness.

I think we have to forget @magicdice, no if no but forget magicdice and @themarkymark philosophy about the steem platform. He is the stand with gun and playing too hard gambling and blacklisting steemians without any fault. Only thing is that not agree with their philosophy put into blacklist. But all the way is the great steemians with witness badge.

All the way i still continue voted @themarkymark as witness and like their stand about things. Always stand hard with their own decision. No one can change it, that is the good point.

xyzashu (75) · 6 years ago

Yeah, Although I didn't know anything about the people behind @magicdice, it looked shady to me since its inception. When they couldn't properly address my fundamental queries about their project, I got suspicious of them and thought to wait until they clarify. But that was never to come!

I won't like to blame @themarkymark for not checking or finding about the team. He did a great job in verifying the fairness of their algorithm. But fairness of code doesn't imply integrity of intentions of the team behind it.

I know, many people were feeling comfortable in playing at @magicdice as respected and intellectual Steemians like @themarkymark were leading players on that platform. But there is no denying the principle - DYOR. Don't follow anybody when YOUR finances are involved.

However, it would have been better if @themarkymark had not waited until this day and given out some clues like he mentions now as:

For the last few weeks, they stopped paying dividends to a few of the larger players who stopped playing a while ago.

He should have been vocal about this fact. But probably he was waiting for some concrete evidence like he got today.

I never placed any bet on MD except the one bet in its initial days to test how they process it. All magic tokens I had received were a gift as some contest prize from them. I'm indebted to MagicDice community for all the STEEM and MAGIC I was offered in their resteem prize.

But once I'm in doubt, it's really hard to win my trust again. Same is applicable for SteemBet. Although they rendered a public apology and promised to be more transparent and interactive with the community, I didn't find it so. I doubt they are related to BetX on EOS (that recently announced to move on Binance chain) as they have copied their entire design and colour theme here. I remember BetX too was not fair to honour its coin-age model and they couldn't wait until their pre-announced timing for first dividend distribution. I see that I have some dividend to claim on SteemBet platform but dunno why I can't claim it!

Regarding @themarkymark's blacklisting policy, I don't know much about it. As a matter of fact, every Steemian is free to blacklist / unfollow / mute / follow / whitelist anyone at their own individual discretion. Some people are quick to draw conclusions and judge people on the basis of a few isolated incidents. Ignore such people and keep doing what you do!

I've rarely interacted with Marky, so I don't know much about his stance. I remember pointing him for his unfair principle and rules for transacting with his bid-bot buildawhale in initial days. His answer was like everyone else is doing that so he is also following them! This answer didn't make me communicate with him further. If every dapp starts cheating or scamming people here, it doesn't set the benchmark for ethics and can't justify running your own dapp for purpose of scamming. But many people copy and derive their principles and values by watching others. Can't help in that case!

But kudos to you that you're still voting Marky as your witness! I appreciate your gesture. ^Criticize the people's act when they should be but don't condemn them.*

Steem on!

Why do people keep supporting scams/scammers and not stuff like @brosgn and @brosino? Is it because we don’t run ponzis and then ditch the community after banking 500K+ STEEM that we’ll dump on the market before moving to the next chain?

themarkymark (78) · 6 years ago (edited)

I'm pretty sure a bulk of the 560K isn't Steemians, there was one player that I believe was being paid off-chain behind the scenes to take massive loses (~350K-400K Steem) to dilute the token making it pay out a lot less. I suspect the real loses are around 50-150K Steem. Rest are just wash loses being reimbursed, but I never had hard evidence.

What they did was very short-sighted and stupid - they could have built a real business, profitable for years - but they shot that goose and aren't even able to talk about it since what they did was illegal.

And I see that you lost some money in the process. I'm sorry about that, but I hope you'll learn from it and be more cautious the next time.

I think first of all you shoukd block an account that take out huge money, because it is not matter of freedom if you let people do anarchy control.
First point of legal freedom is doing whatever you want respecting others, first point of anarchy freedom is doing whatever you want which make you in better coditions, now Steemit is the heaven of anarchy freedom....:(((

At least you were trying to keep watch, and reported conversely @themarkymark The only steem related game I have even bothered looking into was Colony; I just don't have a desire to play games here I guess. Not that I think anything is wrong doing so (minus this terrible situation) I would use my Ps4 for games. @eturnerx this isn't the Magic Dice you were playing I hope?

I do appreciated your Black List extension on the Chrome browser my friend; is there any coding that could help detect this sort of thing in the future @themarkymark? Man... sad times here... hope it is able to be resolved, and there aren't a bunch of fellow Steemians left with empty pockets...

I never was into magic-dice, the entire playing to get tokens just to earn dividends taking a loss expecting to earn it back over time from future player losses never really made much sense to me. I do like the moonsteem model though of investing to provide liquidity and the token part is only a part of the dividends. I hope they don't run away with the money. This definately made me more carefull. thanks for the info!

Not great for the reputation of honest sites like ours. However, if you come to our Discord server, you'll see that I do not try to hide my identity. Two clicks away from the application's site will lead you to my true identity, We are here to stay and trying to build a community of trust and mutual benefit. I guess things like this will serve to increase the trust required by players before they part with their Steem, thereby organically building a more trustable Dapp ecosystem on Steem.

Dammit.
I quite liked that app and used it occasionally. It was so simple to use and fun for a punt.
Dividends were a bonus but not the driving force for me. I know a lot must have been lost by bigger players in this. Ouch.

They gave out nice random chunky upvotes on steemit comments to players too.
I must have made back anything I lost to the dice purely in upvotes.

Still though. That’s a dick move if they’ve packed up and gone.

I hope they get their comeuppance.
