Steem-Roller Project Overview
Hail all, hope all is well.
The goal of this post is to educate as well as populate community questions which will be answered in edits to this post. These Q&A edits can be viewed near the bottom of this post.
Hopefully fully briefing potential future investors and players of the upcoming Steem-Roller 1% dice game, which will also bring a mathematically garunteed profitable, much needed open to public investment vehicle to those looking to earn profits on their STEEM holdings without having it locked away in STEEM Power or delegated to pay for vote services. Did we mention it's entirely provably fair and you can prove mathematically that the rolls we're not manipulated out of your favour?
( ALWAYS play provably fair games -cough-NOTmagicdice )
Filling a Much Desired Demand in Our Community
While STEEM currently has a quite vast growing global community and decently developed ecosystem as it currently sits very little is in place to allow our STEEM community to invest their STEEM without having it tied up in lengthy week long power downs or through delegation to 3rd party voting services, which features a lengthy cool down period.
Now nearing the completion (~89%) of a grueling 2 years of development the Steem-Roller project aims to fill the gap in the current landscape of gambling & investment services offered for STEEM by launching a high security, lightning fast, provably fair, off-chain 1% house edge dice game which has been built around the concept of an "open to all" community bankrolled investment vehicle.
That means that ANYBODY with STEEM holdings will be more than welcome to join the house side bankroll and receive profits based on their percentage of bankroll owned on the site, and with a minimum investment of 0.001 STEEM and profits supplied by the losses of gamblers against the 1% house edge the end result leads to a lucrative investment opportunity to STEEM holders both small and large.
A Next-Gen Investment Opportunity for Everyone
The current STEEM gambling sites lack the open to all bankroll design, preferring to entertain private often unknown investors to fund the casinos bankroll.
Another shortcoming is realized with current STEEM gambling services conducting the majority of their rolls or bets directly on the blockchain, which not only creates an unnecessary delay of anywhere between 3 to 9 second per a bet placed, but also contributes to needless "bloating" of our block chain due to the large amount of transactions generated by users sending a vast amount of transfers during their gambling sessions.
Offering nearly instant deposits and withdrawals (< 15 secs) of the STEEM token coupled with the ability to with only a single mouse click instantly invest or divest their STEEM with variable leverage up to 50x makes bankrolling the site intuitive, extremely quick and manageable.
Future investors choosing to invest their STEEM to bankroll the Steem-Roller service will have unparalleled access to liquidity in respect to their funds being accessable and available for transfer without any wait caused by powerdown or delegation cool down measures in place, while still earning profits due in part to the mathematical certainly that over time their investment will grow due to the law of large numbers coupled with the 1% house edge featured on the site.
With a single "divest all" button click you can divest your invested STEEM, from there it's just a matter of deciding where to withdraw your funds to, the amount and confirming the transfer.
In less than 20 seconds you could have had your STEEM invested, making you a good profit then decide to divest and withdraw it all to an exchange, service or user of your choice.
An investment vehicle that is absurdly quick to hop in and out of with no time lost or tie ups along the way. That was the idea come to life here through the lengthy development of this project soon to go into testing and launch.
Fast, easy and safe profit realization.
The Steem-Roller Profit Model
The way the site creates revenue to sustain itself and continue to develop new features is by collecting a small 10% commission on any profits investors generate by gambling loses of those users wishing to test their luck. As stated earlier the 1% house edge + law of large numbers in regards to betting volume makes investment profits over a long term incredibly likely.
However... those wishing to step up and support the final development and release of this project may opt to become Elite EarlyBird Investors through purchase of one of the Elite EarlyBird Investor support pledge packages offered near the end of this post. Elites can see their investment commission rate drop as low as 2.5% depending on their monetary contribution towards the tail end of development needed to finish, test and launch Steem-Roller.
Built Featuring Rock Solid Security & High Speed
Steem-Roller has been developed from scratch with security, speed and intuitive functionality in mind. Facilitating multiple bets a second per a user, with incredible betting speeds upwards of ~30 bets a second realized in some tests carried out recently during development, achieved by utilizing the built in auto roller functionality, completely blows any existing 1% house edge dice game currently available for any crypto-currency out of the water.. All the while offering real-time investment, bankroll and maximum win amount per bet updates while this takes place.
Simply put, the completely new, provably fair gambling engine running underneath the hood of Steem-Roller is a next generation gambling and investment vehicle which will not only bring new usage, investment and utility to STEEM, but very well may see an increased demand for the STEEM token as gamblers and investors from accross the crypto ecosystem flock to what will be nothing short of the fastest, most intuitive and most popular STEEM gambling establishment launched to date.
What the Gamblers Really Want: Faster Bets
On the gambling side of things those wishing to test their luck and risk some STEEM against the 100% provably fair random number generator featured in the completely customizable "HI / LO" dice game will be thrilled to find odds offered as high as 99000x their initial wagered amount. The RNG rolls provably fair numbers between 00.0000 up to 99.9999 which are generated using truly randomized, cryptographically sourced output that can be taken to 3rd party sites in order to ensure as well as verify provably fairness was implemented for every bet. The site, by design featuring provably fair, is unable to manipulate or cheat your roll out come in any way, shape or form. This can be proven at various different sites and drives the chances of users being cheated out of winnings by the Steem-Roller site to zero.
The low 1% house edge built into the payouts of bets facilitate incredible odds in the gamblers favour when compared to other dice site offerings and conventional casino games.
Not only can gamblers decide their bet amount as well as payout at any time but are also given access to an incredibly fast and customizable "auto roll" feature. The "auto roll" feature allows users to completely automate their play which frees up the users focus and time while rolling far more quickly than is humanly possible.
A Live, 24/7 Real-Time Community of Investors and High Rollers
Built into the Steem-Roller GUI is a real-time chatroom allowing both gamblers and investors to share information, strategies of playing the dice game and participate in a social setting which leans towards building strong community bonds through communication as well as comradery sought by those looking to win big.
Through the chat not only will communication be possible, but also the sending of STEEM tips from user to user, user statistics if they wish to display them and possibly private messaging being integrated in a future.
Chat moderator priviledges can be earned through honest dedication to the site through lending aide or support to those users whom need it.
Those who volenteer to become involved with the closed and/or open beta testing phases will take priority in eligibility to become chat moderators over those who do not have time spent with helping development of Steem-Roller. Moderator status in chat may also be granted as a perk to those whom participate in the Elite EarlyBird Investor program which will be used to fund the last leg of development of this project.
What's Left in Development?
As it sits currently as of tonight the site by my best calculation is roughly ~89% completed and getting quite close to beginning the closed beta testing phase of development.
Currently the STEEM deposit and withdrawal systems are being finished up / polished and audited. By tomorrow evening (Monday) the goal is to be completely operational with their production ready code prepared for closed group beta testing.
After that a few minor chat and moderator functions need to be implemented and tested, finishing off with a rewrite of the investment profit commission code and a number of GUI tweaks and mobile device formatting finalizations.
The final to-do list for Steem-Roller:
- Finalize and polish deposits / withdrawal code
- Finish off a few chat mod functions
- Fix variable investment commission
- GUI smoothing and screen size fixes
- Mobile version polishing and aestetics
- Get source code audited by coworkers
- Recruit testers/hackers for beta testing
- Train moderators for chatroom duty
- Launch Site, STEEM price rise follows
While this looks like a decent sized list still the majority of the tasks needed to get the project ready to launch are revolved around testing and bug hunting. If you fancy yourself a bit of a grey hat or code wizard and would like to have a crack at helping me test the site for bugs and system security I'd love to have you on board.
If the funds are made available from Elite EarlyBird Investors hopping on board a bug bounty will likely be offered to sweeten the deal for those wishing to flex their penetration testing might against the site during closed and open beta testing periods before public launch.

Elite EarlyBird Investor Support Pledge Offer
Developing new software... Spending immense amount of time/brainpower implementing, testing, breaking and fixing thousands of lines of code in order to essentially create something tangible or useful out of nothing but an idea or a dream..
Creating something that can be ultimately be enjoyed by many while bringing utility as well as prosperity to the benefactors of your hard work, hours of frustration and years of experience coupled with self taught skills.. all culminating to invoke an entity that never existed before nor would have ever, if not for the countless hours spent meticulously crafting and coding this machine.
While incredibly rewarding knowing that what I'm finishing up development on here may very well be that "killer app" that takes our STEEM community "to the moon" it is also quite a difficult space financially for young up and coming software developers like myself to exist in.
STEEM and the development surrounding it is my primary and only source of monetary means. Though it's been a bit rough lately I'd sooner scrounge change for rice and continue to push towards developing our community and network into the strongest in the world than turn my back on it and seek a living elsewhere.
While I hate to admit it, as it sits currently I'm not in a situation where I can adequately sustain my basic needs such as a balanced intake of food, my own place of shelter nor proper winter gear for dealing with the ridiculous cold temperatures we're currently facing in central Canada.
From great struggle breeds great feats of strength both mentally and physically, currently the struggle I face I one of not having a great deal of financial reserve left I order to finish off this project and push it to public launch. It's just about there, another month or so and it should be ready to unleash on the community. I truly believe that this gambling and investment machine that has been nearly 2 years in the making will not only improve the demand and price of our STEEM token but will also propel my own personal finances towards a point of not having to worry about where I'm going to sleep or how I'm going to afford groceries for supper this week.
With all this being said I'm offering the Elite EarlyBird Support Pledge Packages here today to those willing to help me out with basic necessities such as food and shelter in exchange for the future commission profit that will be made in the future.
This is an offer that will only be available until the end of January. After that no further Elite EarlyBird Investors will be accepted and the lifetime discount on investment profit commission will not be offered again.
This offer and the various tiers offered below are aimed primarily at individuals in our community that have a deep interest in being a large percentile bankroll investor in Steem-Roller over the long term and would like to pledge some of their STEEM or SBD to help with development costs of the final push to get the site finished, polished, tested and launched in exchange for a fair discount on the percentage of investment profit commission charged for the lifetime of the Elite EarlyBird Investor.

If these Elite EarlyBird Investor packages are a bit expensive for your tastes but you'd like to help support the final stretch of Steem-Roller development anyways a donation of STEEM / SBD would be greatly appreciated, it's not the amount that matters, but the show of support!
If you're a dapper STEEM community member that has donated you'll likely end up on the sponsors page on site and may see a small drop in the normal 10% investment profit commission charged. Let me know what username you're using on the site when we go into beta testing and you'll get a surprise or two.
Sponsoring development also puts you in the front of the line to become a beta tester and chat moderator when the time comes!
Community Questions & Answers
Quick question to the community.. what level of anonymous site usage when it comes to deposits and withdrawals of STEEM suits your needs? Would you be willing to pay a small 0.1 or something STEEM fee to generate deposit hashes instead of directly transferring to your accounts with your username in the memo field or...?
Feel free to write a question below in the comments to have it answered here in this post for our community to view. Please keep the questions focused towards the Steem-Roller project development. :)
