RE: Magic Dice is down for one day and not responding to users call on their Discord
The @magicdice bot is up, and working completely fine!
If you're wanting to still play, you can do so manually and shouldn't encounter any problems. I did a few rolls today on Steemit, just by manually transferring Steem.
To do so, you need to specify Over / Under, Roll Number, Seed. You can just make up the Seed, but I've just been copying the Seed that the site has been generating for me...
Just click on 'Seed', and copy the top...
over 90 6lie4mjcvx
would be an example bet.
I don't think you should jump to any conclusions. It's nonsensical for it to be a scam; it's recent growth is massive, I don't see why you'd pick now to abandon it, and if so the account would surely be emptied and the bot wouldn't be working either.
For now I'm going to continue doing a few rolls every now and then. I don't believe, for now, you really need to take any caution.
Exactly, it doesnt make sense for it to be a scam because they dont actually hold anyone's money. How much money could they legitimately run away with? It's not like an exchange where they literally hold millions worth of crypto. You send crypto when you play and you get it back when you lose. If they stop stop rolling/sending rewards, everyone is going to stop playing after 2-3 attempts that didnt work. So what could they legitimately get away with before people notice? 10k Steem? That's nothing, they make almost that on a daily basis by running the game.
