@WeeklyPonziV3,
Can you please let me know why the transactions that came from 124hrKamS1ZQpEXQ3bPkrjp6KDKxspMfXp ain't confirmed yet? Due to it, I wasn't able to spend anything ahead due to my funds stucked...

This is exactly why I'm making 24HourPonzi V2. An idiot(s) is sending small payments to the address with no fee with the sole purpose of making the payouts take forever to confirm. This happens because my current script automatically checks if there is enough BTC to pay the next person in line and if there is, it sends it. However, in its current state it doesn't check to see if the input it's about to spend has been confirmed. This means that because of this idiot, there are a few payments you can see that haven't been confirmed yet as it has spent the unconfirmed inputs from this idiot. When V2 is released, it will not spend unconfirmed inputs meaning that no idiots can disrupt the confirmation times of legitimate users' payouts.

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply... Anyways, I sent my txn with fees, so why my payout still ain't confirmed? I am sorry am asking this again but what has any other users' payment to do with my txn? And if it will ever confirm, how much time will it take now?

It is probably because the game sent you unconfirmed coins. Your transaction will confirm after the game coins confirm. Someone has been sending in small deposits without fees to mess up the game.

One way quickly around that without code is to raise the minimum deposit. Make it costly to attack the game this way.

Raising the minimum deposit is irrelevant. Anyone could sent a few bits without any fee to the address whenever they want. There's no way to stop it.

If the deposits are below the minimum they should be considered donations and hopefully sweep to a different address. However, if that doesn't happen then you are completely correct. The real fix is not to create a transaction with unconfirmed coins.

The technical solution would be to have the script not count and not spent any inputs that do not have any transaction fees. While technically possible, judging from the amount of bugs in the script it may be not trivial for the operator to implement it. Correctly. Let's see if they pull it off on the 24hr ponzi scheme.
