It's not possible to spend coins from the genesis block.  To make it possible would require everyone to upgrade their client to a version which makes it possible.  If a group of people didn't upgrade, they would be on a fork of the blockchain as soon as the genesis block's coins were spent.

I think if you have the code wait for you to hit return after opening the blockchain files but before scanning them, and then wait for a block or two to be received while it's waiting, you'll see the bug happen.

I've not had a chance to test your fix yet, but if you used my change then I'm guessing it will work for me.  I've still had no crashes since making the change myself.

Your.

I heard recently that PokerStars had bought Full Tilt and were going to make all the Full Tilt players whole.


I believe he's in some way invested in Seals With Clubs.  He's a "pro" on Seals, and some claim he's a part owner of the site.  This thread for instance starts by claiming Micon owns part of Seals, and quickly degenerates into a "bitcoin sucks" thread.

You're not going to get anywhere just ranting like that.

How about you tell us how much you think you are owed, and provide any supporting evidence you have.

Currently it sounds as if the amount you are claiming is mathematically impossible given how the rakeback system works, but it's hard to know for sure because very little content comes through from your messages other than "I'm angry" over and over.

So how about you try calming down and actually stating your case?

Your big winning bets are already public since your bet addresses are known.  Anyone can look up all the results on the blockchain.

If people want to be anonymous they need to make sure they can't be linked to their bet transaction, which is their responsibility, not yours.

So I say go ahead and list the biggest winners and biggest losers, just like SatoshiDice does on their front page.

Re-read the subject of this thread.

There's no mention of provability in the faq, just how to deposit and withdraw, and what new features are planned.

Are you thinking of satoshiroulette.com?  In this thread we're talking about satoshiwheel.com.

Thanks, that was it.

Control-Shift-R in Chromium fixed the problem the 2nd time I tried it, though I had to log in again.

This?

I'd like to know that too.

Is the wheel 'fair', or is it weighted more towards black and less towards gold?

Do you plan to make a "provably fair" version of the game, like how SatoshiDice and bitZino are, so we can be absolutely sure you've not cheating?

The bet ends in less than 4 weeks.  4 weeks in BS&T at 7%/week compounded earns you 31%.  The bets are currently 3:1 in favour of not defaulting, and will presumably go further in that direction as the end of the month approaches.  So it's better to put your money into BS&T than to bet against the default at the moment.

If he pays 25 rake per hand, doesn't he get root(25)=5 krill per hand, and so he plays 7000/5 = 1400 hands to earn 7k krill, pays 1400*25 = 35000 in rake, and gets 2% of that = 700 chips in rakeback?

I'm basing this on the explanation I found on the site:


It's still a long way from "the 5 bitcoins" he claims to be owed.

I'm not seeing it.  Where can I find the brain wallet support on blockchain.info?

Thanks.

The interest payment did include a withdrawal once, on Fri Dec 09 2011.  The interest of 78 BTC and the withdrawal of 600 BTC were combined into a single payment of 678 BTC (txid 615b4c794a18871879ea06208d3d28e618307c239b876020ead7bcfc53acf8a4).  Other than that they've been separate.

Here's how the recent interest payments correspond to entries in the blockchain.  There's a really close correspondence between the calculated interest and the actual interest.  The difference is explained by the fact that BS&T calculates interest from the minute payment is received, but all I see are block timestamps which will be close to but different from the time the transactions were made.


You can follow the whole chain of deposits and withdrawals through the blockchain all the way back to the start.  Transaction 5493e71f8d06de5fd5c28a53583eca930e7b4ea56fdbb37b4e6a3a3f43182da8 pays 15 BTC interest - that's 3% of the balance of 500 BTC deposited as 200 BTC (a9c40ba6f829e538aa5e97fb9cb3e747a57a120d0e8f02addb92e8af55c2375c) and 300 BTC (93f93535cc34038b2ccd2c142e183ea743dc98522ef6272343f41bcd1ab3ffc1).  Interest was 1% per day, paid every 3 days at the start.

I don't know, but I guess the calculation goes something like this:

Someone who had read the forums and seen anecdotal evidence that with enough nagging MtGox will refund you you your SatoshiDice winnings?

I think he made an honest mistake though.

Perhaps they were caused by the same new bug.
