Joel.... you picture freaks me out.

Yeah, they periodically run all of the transactions through the system again to catch ones that they missed. If you still haven't been payed in a day or two, contact them directly.

Sweet, that is what I thought, just wanted to make sure. 

Is there an official way to contact them?  I don't see a contact section on the website, although it is possible I am just blind.

Thanks for the info!

I have a bet from this morning whose TX is confirmed, but the payment TX doesn't exist.

Will SatoshiDICE pickup on this UNKNOWN status and re-send payment?

luke-jr:  Would this include a secure build of Armory?  It is very hit or miss as to weather or not it will build on OSX.

Also it might be helpful to include a thermometer so potential donors are aware of where we sit.

  • the odds of winning are actually less than 50%, or put otherwise: the expected amount to gain from this scheme is negative
I'll prove that the expected value for playing this game infinite times with an infinite amount of money is >1.
Yes, but there is no infinite amount of bitcoins.

(And besides, if you would have an infinite amount of bitcoins already, there's no point in trying to earn more with some gamble scheme)

I want to make this clear: you are 100% correct. There is no way to 'beat' any game of chance gambling system. 

What this DOES do is help people bet smarter, but if they play long enough they will lose about 98% of their money.  But in the short run it helps bet smarter and have more fun (IMHO).

On my phone, so Please forgive me terseness.

It is a modified Martingale system; basically it helps you find the most profitable betting pattern.  With a straight martingale it is possible to actually lose money in some cuircumstanes.

It also presents several thought points for the new SatoshiDICE user.

If you are the kind of person who builds your own spreadsheets or martingale then this system is NOT for you and you will not be happy paying for it.

If you are the person who randomly switches which address or the amount you bet then you may find some value here.

Well all know and love SatoshiDICE the (near) instant bet/win game.

I have developed a system that helps you bet SMARTER on SD.  I can't make any guarantees as it is gambling after all; however I was wondering if there were any demand in this.

I will be blunt about what it is:  It is a spreadsheet that anyone that wanted to take the time could sit down and make; however this is for the people who either don't want to or can't do the maths themselves.

I am considering selling this for ~5BTC, but I am not set on that price, I am more feeling the market out right now.

As I said you are still gambling so I can't guarantee anything; however if you are interested in swinging the odds a little more in YOUR favor then this might just be the ticket.

Please respond to this thread if there is interest in it.

Port forwarding?

I need a good off-site place to test some websites.

If the problem persists though, I suggest you switch to Electrum.


I believe he is on a Mac and there are no builds of Electrum for the Mac Sad

Been lurking in #bitcoin-otc for awhile and just completed my first purchase.
