Unconfirmed transaction - losing a lot of money because of 0,1 BTC

[Birdy]

Yesterday I sent 0,1 to Satoshi Dice but it was set to no-fee on blockchain.info (I'm new, had no idea it would be THIS BAD).

I played on Satoshi Dice with it for a bit and made 1BTC from it. I got really excited, wanted to withdraw and saw the initial 0,1 is still unconfirmed. It's been 24 hours.

I don't really understand that, does Satoshi dice allow playing&withdrawing with unconfirmed Bitcoins? That would be so easy to abuse.

Allows playing, doesn't allow withdrawing.

But if you lose, you just double spend your transaction before it's confirmed. That can be worrying as it might break the whole balance of casino.

This. But double spending is not easy, you need some serious hash at disposal. I guess when you try double spend even with a fee, miners reject doublespending attempts

Still showing unconfirmed, but at least you don't have a warning that says "less than recommended fees." I have been waiting for 2 days for a no-fee transaction to confirm related to the inputs.io refunds.

I do have that warning.

Once when I sent a transaction without a fee although a fee was required, I had to wait over one week to confirm.

Lesson: Don't be tight with money if you can't wait.
