kjj ... I did see your post in the other thread ... SatoshiDice and the like can auto return funds, so there must be a way

They cannot do this reliably hence their warnings about what kind of client you need to be using to use their site - this has been discussed ad-nauseum - please do some searching (it just doesn't work the way you think it does).

What do you mean by "source wallet address"?

Just as a reminder, while this like it should work, the concept of a sending address does not exist in bitcoin.  What this is doing is finding the last address to have received these funds.  This is occasionally what you expect, but not always.  If you are thinking that this address is owned or controlled by the person that sent you a transaction, you will be wrong fairly often.

Which address the coins came from?

I have tried a couple of option and none of them give me the source wallet address.

Any idea on how this can be achieved?
