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.

Damn, looks like your fingers are faster than mine. I was just about to say almost exactly that. Smiley

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?

1306  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What do you newbies think? on: May 09, 2012, 09:54:47 PM
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.

I have a couple of transactions that are "stuck"  

For example:
http://satoshidice.com/full.php?tx=2e3b83af3cdd8529ad0099336a07553770c4a24616c03e780c8b71c17541c538
http://satoshidice.com/full.php?tx=c1f97b31515e4ea9a3afaa621426cb702eeb2ef73b2ccd8f43d7a511430340a9

Has anybody been paid on a transaction that didn't respond right away?  Any ideas how to resolve this?

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 Smiley  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 Cheesy
1308  Economy / Gambling / Re: SatoshiDICE.com - Verified rolls, up to 65,000x winning on: May 09, 2012, 12:24:04 PM
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=e210c2d528c7084493071fb6327eac68641a28582564b54a035d62916e8c6352

and 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).

Admin is a forum member.

might need to add a little warning here that some bets being placed are getting missed. (No win/lose response whatsoever).
i'm sure the reputable owners will sort them out eventually, but it's still a bit of a downer.

1312  Economy / Gambling / Re: SatoshiDICE.com - Verified rolls, up to 65,000x winning on: May 09, 2012, 09:37:03 AM
i'm pretty sure i've got no response from this tx:

http://blockexplorer.com/tx/e210c2d528c7084493071fb6327eac68641a28582564b54a035d62916e8c6352

(sent 0.5 to satoshidice, both outputs are unredeemed after 8 confirmations, despite the fact that i see the site still rolling along nicely with newer tx's)

i think i saw in the list that it won, but i can't be sure as the site doesn't list older transactions.

what should i do from here?
1313  Economy / Gambling / Re: SatoshiDICE.com - Verified rolls, up to 65,000x winning on: May 09, 2012, 01:53:01 AM
So I keep thinking that some of my bets never show up at the site...

Is there an easy way to see just your bets?

PHP martingale bot for satoshiDICE Cheesy

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80245

use at your own risk!
1315  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.

Code:
<?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($fee8'.''') +0) . "       ";
        echo 
'Total Fees: '$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...

Code:
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:

Code:
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.

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

it's scary how often they mention the word 'trust' while at the same time advocating the use of paypal.

i'm also curious how these are going.

i bought a few for 0.001 btc each, and since then they've dropped to 0.0006.
