Since Ethercrash opened it's doors we've had a steady flow of requests from players to increase our max bet. While variance in coin prices can make getting the max bet in a crypo game a bit tricky, the most important part for EtherCrash has been making sure that the house bankroll can appropriately handle the increased variance that comes with larger bets. For that reason a slow and safe approach has been adopted to facilitate healthy steady growth of the game over the house trying to quickly chase large profits and bite off more than it can chew.

At the same time, with introduction of public investments in the EtherCrash bankroll we've given players the ability to participate and share in our growth. While this has worked out quite well for a number of players/investors it's become clear to the EtherCrash team that we can do better. In order to facilitate continued interest in bankroll investors for EtherCrash we needed a way to increase their expected returns. While to original BaBv1 source code boasts a scaled house edge between 0-1%, the average house edge with the default configuration can be expected to fall between .22%-.35%. A full discussion of why that is is beyond the scope of this changelog but we can say that with such a small house edge is it very difficult to offer competitive (EV+) bankroll investing options.

For that reason, with this update we'll be making two key changes the site that dramatically increase the value of public investment opportunities in EtherCrash. We'll be adjust the max bet to 3 ETH and the social bonus payout to .5%. Firstly, from a player perspective we can note that this will still leave us with a house edge less than 1%. In fact, we anticipate the edge to come in around .75%.

What's especially import though is how we're dividing up the additional edge. Currently investors are in profit by 0.18% with these new changes one could expect the investors to increase towards 0.6%+. Instead of house charging investors 0.175%, we'll now be at 0.25% on the wagered volume processed on the site.

When it comes to the house edge a small amount can make a big difference. However, this difference doesn't really become meaningful if the site doesn't handle a substantial volume of bets. We hope that by increasing the max bet and offering this new an extremely competitive investor return rate that we will have laid the foundation for continued steady growth for the house and our investors.

In addition to the investment and social bonus changes we have implemented a number of small changes and fixes.

- Added Changelog page
