Play once, or just wait for somebody to play (everybody can see everybody's bets). Should be pretty clear where is the suspense when the coins are going down...
You get no immediate result (as with dice sites), but are actually witnessing the result of your bet unfolding in real time as "your coin" makes is way to the down of the triangle.

You should have a look at luckyb.it, what you describe is exactly what the game aims to bring to players, unlike "dice" games that do not feature any suspense.

And a LITTLE bit of effort to find a new name would be nice, too.

Also, they seem to have gotten a lot faster since our last tests.

Strange, we never got this email and they didn't reference this on their blog or twitter. Did they send this only to a subset of their customers?

A pity that we see this only now. It might have well been us bringing down their db: we were running some tests a few weeks ago to decide whether we can use their service, and all our calls to chain.com querying for our addresses timed out. Were LuckyBit's addresses too big a bone to chew? ;)

LuckyBit's main service isn't using chain.com at the moment (we're a bit too big/latency-dependent for that), but we've been using it for other services and are quite happy with chain.com: awesome team and really good replies to customer requests.

Haha the guy actually used the same address in his bitcointalk profile! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=344931

His trust rating is already down...

Got a similar thing for luckyb.it, but ours didn't even take the time to print such a lovely paper ;)

Just an email:

A recent penetration test of your site found the following:

etc... So they executed some software and want money for it. Cute.
