It wouldn't be so bad if I could at least see the transaction on DICE in the history. I get them instantly when they send them, it's that they are not being processed for 45+ minutes.

It's not even fun anymore, just stressful

I have bets over 2 hours old that have 10+ confirmations and the responses are coming in, but only 1 every 10-20 mins.

wtf is going on? I have fee set to .0005 so it shouldn't be related to that.

There is one address that is betting A TON every few seconds, probably botting and almost all the bets are 1+ btc.
It's almost like you're getting DDOS'd with bets.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I mess around on dice quite a bit but it's really getting so slow I don't think I'm going to be able to play anymore.

A couple weeks ago I could put in a bet, get a response in 5-10 seconds and go again. Lately it's been taking at least 5 mins for responses.
Even a 2-3 minute round trip really takes all the fun out of it and I don't think people will keep playing as much if it stays this way.

That is two wins! 

Lol  Yes, this feature will come! But i have no timeline yet, as this requires quite some changes everywhere...



Hmm, are you missing a bet? Please let me know the transactionID, then I will check it. There is a small chance that it got lost during the restart of the backend. It should be picked up anyway soon if it got lost, but i can speed up the process :-)

Oh my, like expected I think the only way to get this sorted is to add optional accounts. So when you have created an account you can only close sessions when you are logged in, but without the 30 seconds waiting time. When you don't have an account everything stays like it is.
And as a bonus this will be the enabler for adding chat in multiplayer sessions :-)

all them 'lost' back to back on 40%   http://bitbattle.me/game/67bd2ef1dad7485588a1740f6d43adcf/

annnd... 15x continuous loss on 55% chance http://bitbattle.me/game/b266dbc7c75f4f2dad7b5ea1e7f17801/

so rookie, so embarrassing    good times !

In case you wonder/noticed:
This morning there was a somehow strange situation. Starting from 5:59 until 10:15 not a single incoming bet transaction got confirmed. As Slim was quite active in this timeframe the available amount of confirmed coins gradually decreased until it hit the safety limit. Therefor the site went into "Backend Down"  mode, not accepting any new incoming bet and immediately refunding it. Then came Block #216886 at 10:15 including all missing transactions at once

I really did not expect that no confirmations come in for such a long time. I almost started panicking about a new/unkown type of double-spend attack . But as Slim really seems to be a nice person as far as I know him I knew it must be something else.

So, Lesson learned? Hot wallet balance needs to increase to have more confirmed coins available any time And obviously more players are needed, so that if one player/wallet has this kind of problem there are enough other transactions that still go through fine. (I suspect the main problem is quite long chains of unconfirmed transactions being built up between bitbattle and Slims wallet. Unconfirmed win payouts were immediately again coming in as new bet, again ending up in the next unconfirmed payout...)
