RE: How 'Above 99' player outplayed Epic Dice
Nothing was "stolen"
Your definition of stolen and everyone else's definition are two different things, it seems.
Who wouldn't repeat this if it works?
We know you would (and did), but not assume that everyone is as dishonest as you have been here.
At the end of the day the facts are these:
- You exploited a vulnerability in the game for the sole benefit of profit
- You had no intention to report the vulnerability whatsoever to the @epicdice team proven by your continued use of the exploit until someone else saw what you were doing and raised the alarm
- You might be blasé about your actions because this is Steem and people seemingly get away with committing indecent acts of fraud and deception here with no recourse, but if you attempted the same thing with a reputable online gambling website, not on the blockchain, you would be facing fraud charges right now
- This is theft. There is no ethical way you can spin this.
- Just because you didn't use any witness tool does not excuse the fact you operate a witness node and you acted against the best interests of the Steem blockchain that you are fortunate to represent. Well, were fortunate to represent. Nobody is going to trust you with a witness vote or anything else.
Don't you think Steem has suffered enough at the hands of scammers already? Do we honestly need more bad actors exploiting vulnerabilities instead of reporting them? Keeping this place scam and fraud-free should be the priority.
