1  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: blockchain.info wallet impossible to login????? Very worried right now on: May 08, 2013, 11:13:27 PM
Actually, now that I entered my full identifier (instead of alias), it has appeared.
I found the identifier from an old email with one of the backups that get sent (not had those in ages).

Dunno why entering my alias didn't work?

I am having this problem now.

All I see is a box for entering my identifier. There is no box for password, or Authenticator code (2 factor), which I do have enabled.

When I enter my identifier, it just says "authorization required. Please check your email." Well I was logged in to my wallet earlier today from a different computer, and it was fine.

See attached screenshot.

Incidentally, I saved the QR code from when I paired the blockchain Android app about 8 months ago. Now when I try to pair with the same QR code, it says "invalid pairing QR code". I was under the impression that saving the QR code should allow me to re-pair at a future time??

Won again. 8.2 BTC now Wink

Play long enough and you'll lose.

I know. I'm thinking about buying shares in SatoshiDice.

A few weeks ago I put a small amount in the bottom (safest) box just to see the site in action.

I won, but got less than I put in, because the multiplier didn't cover the transaction fee.

I felt kind of stupid, but my loss was on the order of less than a penny, so I figured out how to get on with my life.

At blockchain.info, they just select a few of the boxes. The safest that they offer is the 73% chance box, which is returning 1.338:1

I'm not sure if you can see the SatoshiDice page on blockchain.info without having an online wallet with them, but it looks like this:



You see your money go down, and because blockchain.info is a live wallet (see how it says Subscribed - it uses WebSockets), you see the money go down, and seconds later you see it either go up by a few pennies (you lost), or jump up higher than it started (you won).

It truly is an "enabler" of SatoshiDice Cheesy

Gambling os completely irrational esspecially if the number are out in the open like thy are here.

LOL, why did you have to remind me about gambling? I just put 1 BTC in the top box* again, and got 1.3376 BTC back..

I'm off to bed now.

(top box being the 73% dice.. using blockchain.info SatoshiDice "enabler").

Since that fateful eve, I have had another shot at the "73% chance" of SatoshiDice (1 - 65535 will be less than 48000) on a couple of occasions.
Just small amounts (1BTC), and I have lost twice, and won once.

What I think I am going to do every now and then is: if I am about to purchase something with some bitcoins, I will take a chance with ~1.2BTC in the less than 48,000 box. If it wins - bonus - my purchase ends up being cheaper, if it loses, then it's dearer! Just for fun..

Damn. I was wondering why I couldn't reply to the "BTC Symbol" thread. God I want to smack Luke-Jr... in a nice way.

LOL, yep, gambling is bad.

The combination of SatoshiDice, BitCoins, and blockchain.info's SatoshiDice page, is horrifically bad Cheesy

Actually, I still think it's really cool how it works, and it's good that the numbers are clear to see.

I just kept putting 3 in top box (73% chance) and 1 in the next box (48% chance).

The top box kept winning and cancelling out the loss of the second box, and when the second box did win, I was well up! We were laughing in the office and my mate kept saying "you're silly. it's bad", (while he was buying up graphics cards to mine with..), and I kept saying "watch.. look. it's gone down.. will it come back up, or stay down. IT'S UP!! LOOK!"

Meh.

So I have some more bitcoins now. I'm trying to stay away from toxins, so I suppose I should just hold them in the hope that the bitcoin economy deflates or something..

I'm Jim, or Carl, or something (trust no one!).

I need BTC! I'm not going to lose them all on satoshidice this time though. I'm going to spend them wisely!

I started off with £100. Gave £20-ish to my friend to play with.
Then I discovered SatoshiDice. It seemed like I was never losing!

My £80 became £234!

Then later on I did more bets, and it's now 0.0002 BTC !

and now MT.GOX had their UK bank account closed so I can't fund Sad
