Is satoshi dice currently choking on sendmany transactions?

I have a tx where a bet doesn't seem to have gotten into your db:
9ebfdbeb116616e748bc8654131b90ab21a7125ba376935a0984939159cd6f0f

I think it would be nice to let the use decide if the change shouldn'tgo back to the source address.  To me it feels like papa bitcoin is deciding what's good for me, simplicity and intuition be damned.  I'm a minimalist at heart, so maybe I'm being harsh.

I tried that, and it gave me a 45mb file that I can't seem to do anything with.

Ok, I figured it out.

The fee setting in options is per kB, I didn't realize that it scaled that way, so when I set it a bit higher to increase my transaction priority (for the health of the network!) it was then requesting ever higher ones at send time.

So now it makes a little more sense.

Ok, I guess I don't understand it exactly then, but I also don't understand why it refuses to let me send the transaction at all without requiring such a huge fee.

Wouldn't say a .01 btc fee almost certainly get through on the next block or so, since it's so much higher than the .0005 standard?  If that's the case, then why hold me hostage for many times that amount?

Blockchain.info's doesn't handle change this way, and it doesn't require way above necessary fees, it lets me learn for myself if a transaction is going to take some time.  I don't get why if they can get it right, why the standard client can't, "protocol" notwithstanding.

If my cash wallet decided to put my change in a different secret pocket every time I bought something, it would go in the trash.  If that wallet also demanded increasing fees because my cash was spread so thin in so many different pockets.. contempt for the one who made it.

So, the address bitcoin-qt sent my change to isn't on the "recieve coins" list.  Is this normal?

Also, why does it send the change to a difference address for every damn transaction I make?  I like playing a few bitcoin games, and over time my 5 BTC wouldn't do a transaction without a fee of .5-.7 because my change was spread so thin.

I decided to consolidate it.

Really?  How is this convoluted mess useful?  So if I tried to backup my wallet that I thought had 5btc in it, I really would have been shit out of luck because it was actually spread among a list of adddresses 15 times too long to count?


I'm a good boy, so I try to be up to date with the client.. and for punishment, I can't import my wallet to armory.  Arbitrary wallet.dat changes through versions?  Sweet.  And I haven't found a way to export my private keys that works.

I have an extreme feeling in my gut that the developers have no idea what they're doing, and it's costing me money.  I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not bumbling when it comes to cryptography or whatever, but as far as desktop software.. holy cow.

Hey guys,

I've been on-again off-again with bitcoin since the original silk-road press induced bubble.  I've done a bit of mining with my bought-for-gaming graphics card.  There's an issue of bitcoin mag in my bathroom.  I've bought BTC using MtGox with dwolla, and bitinstant.  I've lost most of that to bitcoinica and satoshi-dice.  That's fine, I'm mostly over it.  But I think this makes me joe-average, the type of guy many of you are dreaming will come to bitcoin en-masse.

Even after losing all my coins, you know what turns me off the most?  Bitcoin-qt:

It tells me "this transaction is over the size limit" frequently, and often asks for unreasonably sized fees..  .049 to send .005?  I'll pass, thanks.  I guess I didn't want to use my BTC to spend on stuff anyway...

Ok, so I want to recieve some BTC.  What's my receiving address.. what the—why are there several dozen?  I don't care if you think it's "The Right Way" to create an ass-load of addresses for me to send my change to, and I especially don't care why.  If I feel like I need a new address, that should be up to me, thanks.

So now if I want to backup my private key, it becomes many private keys.  It's misleading to call it a wallet at that point, don't you think?  I suggest warehouse.dat.

If this is a taste of things to come, I'm pretty sure bitcoin will have the same flaws and turn-offs that linux on the desktop has:  ugly, counter-intuitive software (not a game breaker per se,) which has quirks that open the door for being preached at (worse than game breaking).

The interface developers could learn a great deal from blockchain.info's My Wallet.

tl;dr:
bitcoin-qt is annoying and it's methods are preachy/condescending, which irks me more than losing hundreds of dollars through bad bets.

Hey there,

I'm shy of posting on message boards; bit of a pro lurker.  Probably some kind of un-diagnosed aspie thing.

I lurk the speculation forum and purchased a couple issues of bitcoin magazine, but it feels bad being unable to get support or sign up for analysis newletters because I can't access PM's.

Of course, I could add to the clutter of the newbie forum, but my conscience decided to ask here instead.

Thanks

P.S.  I guess I should add that I'm conscious of making posts that don't add value to a discussion.  I imagine being aware of that idea is 80% of what you're after.
