4. Bitcoin Bill pay Perhaps the most disruptive idea in my mind is a Bitcoin bill paying services. This service would take your Bitcoins and covert it to dollars and then pay most of your bills, like cell, utillites, whatever. Imagine living in a world where you get paid in Bitcoins and most of your bills could be paid in Bitcoins.
this might be disruptive to spendbitcoins.com, as then they'll have some competition while doing exactly as you describe. imagine living in real life, today Damn, looks like your fingers are faster than mine. I was just about to say almost exactly that. i save time by not hitting the shift key... but it's a lazy habit.

I wonder if bitsingles are responsible for it...
nope, just botnets. I know ppl throw botnets around alot on the forum, but is there any actually proof? anyone bother did forensic search? I cant imagine all the botnets happend to have GPUs (high end ones), last time i look CPU mining is utterly low . Did anyone do a "forensic search"? With no ill intent, do you have any idea what you're talking about? He/She may be ESL? you mean someone with Extra Special Linguistics?

Yeah, I don't think that's legit. It would be a waste to put that up since it's sure to get taken down.
For the record, godaddy just emailed me and asked me to take it down lol i'm guessing they're happy to keep the money you gave them for the domain registration.

All transactions are being paid eventually, even the stuck ones. The developer has been working on a fix to address this sticking issue - even though only a small minority of transactions get stuck, when there are 4000 transactions total in a day it causes problems This forum is the best way to reach us, and if a transaction still hasn't come back to you after 24 hrs, please PM me or fireduck. There appears to be significant reliability issues. In my experiences, 10% don't get a response. well, i just ran 123 games... the 123rd one got stuck, so that's less than 1% for me

Also got the problem that some of my "Wins" didnt make it.. i have 4 transactions that are unconfirmed for 4 days now..
yeah i realised it's not the first time for me either... some others around 0.01 and 0.03 that just disappeared yesterday. i think i'll quit til i get this 0.5 tx sorted... what are the support channels? do i need to sign up to twitter or something? I hope I never have to use twitter... well, i figured out how to check on the site for the tx... go here: http://satoshidice.com/full.php?tx=e210c2d528c7084493071fb6327eac68641a28582564b54a035d62916e8c6352and replace the tx id with your own tx id... you can do this even if the bet is no longer listed on the home page. you can get the tx id by running your client with -debug and double-clicking on the transaction, then use the partial tx id listed there to search in blockexplorer.com for the full tx id. lots of steps involved :/ (having done all that, i see that my 0.5 bet did actually win... just haven't received the payout yet, so i'll wait it out).

Economy / Trading Discussion / PHP martingale bot for satoshiDICE
|
on: May 09, 2012, 01:33:27 AM

so anyhooo, i went and wrote this script yesterday for playing satoshidice martingale-style. it was a fun exercise, and i figure i'll share my complete code in case others find it fun/useful/interesting/noteworthy. <?php require_once('jsonRPCClient.php'); $b = new jsonRPCClient('http://YOURUSERNAME:YOURPASSWORD@127.0.0.1:8332/');
define('MIN_BET', 0.01); define('MAX_BET', 6); define('ADDRESS', '1dice8EMZmqKvrGE4Qc9bUFf9PX3xaYDp');
$bet = MIN_BET; $total_fees = 0; $count = 0; $count_won = 0;
while (($bet <= MAX_BET) && ($count_won < 100)) { $count++;
$balance_a = $b->getbalance('*', 0); if (!isset($starting_balance)) $starting_balance = $balance_a; $b->sendtoaddress(ADDRESS, (float) $bet); $balance_b = $b->getbalance('*', 0);
$fee = $balance_a - $balance_b - $bet; $total_fees += $fee; $total_fees = number_format($total_fees,8,'.','')+0;
echo 'Game #'.$count."\n"; echo 'Balance: ' . $balance_a." "; echo 'Bet: '. $bet." "; echo 'Fee: '. (number_format($fee, 8, '.', '') +0) . " "; echo 'Total Fees: '. $total_fees. "\n"; echo 'Balance: ' . $balance_b . " ".'Waiting';
$balance_c = 0;
while ($balance_b >= $balance_c) { sleep(4); $balance_c = $b -> getbalance('*', 0); echo '.'; } echo "\nBalance: $balance_c ";
$diff = $balance_c - $balance_b;
if ($diff > $bet) { $bet = MIN_BET; $count_won++; echo "Win! ($count_won out of $count)\n"; } else { $bet *= 2; echo 'Lose!'."\n"; }
echo "\n"; }
echo 'Starting Balance: '.$starting_balance."\n"; echo 'Ending Balance : '. $balance_c."\n"; echo 'Total Fees: '. $total_fees."\n"; $amt_won = $balance_c - $starting_balance; echo 'Net Profit: '. (number_format($amt_won,8,'.','') + 0). "\n\n";
output looks something like... Game #1 Balance: 11.37567619 Bet: 0.01 Fee: 0.0005 Total Fees: 0.0005 Balance: 11.36517619 Waiting... Balance: 11.36521708 Lose!
Game #2 Balance: 11.36521708 Bet: 0.02 Fee: 0.0005 Total Fees: 0.001 Balance: 11.34471708 Waiting......... Balance: 11.34479886 Lose!
Game #3 Balance: 11.34479886 Bet: 0.04 Fee: 0.0005 Total Fees: 0.0015 Balance: 11.30429886 Waiting... Balance: 11.38554886 Win! (1 out of 3)
Game #4 Balance: 11.38554886 Bet: 0.01 Fee: 0.0005 Total Fees: 0.002 Balance: 11.37504886 Waiting..... Balance: 11.37508975 Lose!
with a summary at the end somewhat like this: Starting Balance: 11.37567619 Ending Balance : 11.42477259 Total Fees: 0.006 Net Profit: 0.0490964
it's designed to run from the command-line by the way. it'll still work from a browser, but you may want to swap all the "\n" with '<br/>' or something. warning: the martingale method of betting isn't foolproof. this script may cause you to lose your entire balance. warning 2: even if the martingale method of betting were foolproof, my php code may not be... use at your own risk. if you like this and want to send me a few bits for the effort, 1CxzfAQo2UK9rppeQNvNmAFhApPqmdVR8y
