3 consecutive wins in a minute

I think there's something wrong, I observed the whole day today, the lessthan 12000 bet wins way too often, the odds of winning seems more like 50%+ instead of 18%, the pool has went down over 150 btc today.

for example, these happened in the past 10 minutes, this has been going on all day today:

paused again

yeap - it works fine already

It's just this second processed my bets from 2 hours ago.

Yes, site is not processing, nothing new, this site freezes for 4-8 hours daily anyway, probably that's when the operator sleeps. If the operator could fix this issue, they would've had much more transactions.

oh, sorry
and thanks

Look ^ a couple post for the answer.

Hey, what's wrong with this transaction?
http://blockchain.info/tx-index/5124436/0e9313dba12db14e3dd426ca2cd0d39bfb6fc55ca5a00dd057ed10a84e239bc1

It already has 11 confirmations but has not been processed by the system.

Correct with the caveat that you actually send outputs so the address you can use is limited by which outputs you have and their value.

Say you have a wallet which has 3 addresses A, B, C

A contains 1 unspent output worth 1 BTC.
B contains 2 unspent outputs worth 2BTC and 1 BTC.
C contains 1 unspent output worth 10 BTC.

So your wallet shows total value of 1+2+1+10 = 14 BTC.  Right?

The satoshi wallet doesn't let you (by default) pick the output to spend but if it did and you wanted to spend 11 BTC you have no choice but to use the output on Address C plus one other output.

If you wanted to spend 5 to 10 BTC your only valid output is the one for Address C.
If you wanted to spend 3 BTC you could for example use both outputs from Address B or use 1 output from Address B and one from A (or A + C).

"Value" is just an abstractions.  Your wallet doesn't just contain addresses.  It contains unspent outputs.  

I send you 5 BTC from my address Z to your address A.
You don't just have "5 BTC" as some abstract value in a ledger you have a distinct unspent tx.

Z--> 5 BTC -> A.  Since you control A you have "5 BTC" of value BECAUSE you have the ability to include that unspent output as an input in some future tx.

Wow... probably deeper into the guts than you wanted to go.

For the purposes of Satoshi DICE if you send funds from the Satoshi wallet the output (and thus address) used will be "random".  It doesn't really matter because any output is fine as you control the private key.  If you can send it then you can access the funds returned to the same "random" address.


Exactly.  Any shared wallet has that issue.  If a user has the same 14 BTC on MtGox they aren't held in an address (or addresses) which the user controls.  The user's funds are mixed in with every other user and MtGox simply "knows" the user has 14 BTC because it has deposited 14 BTC more than it has withdrawn.  Some online wallets like Strongcoin and blockchain.info DO hold user's coins is separate addresses.  They operate similar to an offline wallet.

I think this site, satoshiDICE, is the greatest thing Bitcoin could have ever hoped for this early in its life.  We are going to test so many things about the blockchain, that I didn't think would be possible until many more people jumped onto the BTC bandwagon.  This is great news because these things can now be tested and verified without more people's wealth being at risk.  I think this is the beginning of the second major awakening to Bitcoin, with the first being in the summer of 2011.

Go Bitcoin Go!

Doh, I should have read through the whole thread before sending my 0.006 BTC 

Damn right, I think btc & gambling is a match made in heaven.


Yep site is down atm. Waiting......

same for me...

Yep, what's happening? I sent in a bet for 0.1BTC this morning. 2h30 later. Still no reply.

I think this site is 50% of the transactions on the network at the moment!
Has doubled the use of BTC's

And what is great is they have fees on them all so there is even an increase in that:

Porn paid for the early internet - looks like gambling will pay for the ramp up of bitcoin!

looks like this has stalled at the moment... even the 'unconfirmed' transactions aren't updating.

You got it !

A next version of the Satoshi client will actually let you pick which TX outs (which "from" addresses) you wish to use when sending coins.

cool fun... got ahead by 8 btc, then lost 7

Exactly.  And that's the reason you can't use a hosted (or shared) wallet with SatoshiDice.com (or with BitLotto and certain others).
