Hi all,

I've been researching the transactions a bit and I've found some weird things. Let's take a look to the last 2 payed bets:

Second to last payment was to address 177uEkAc7WJjretMPUcAwkTBFnYQ7CENyQ. Looking at that transaction, we find that the funds came from addresses:

1Nine9uy8vZjZGoDZcKmFD71X77A2rSxuQ (deposit address)
1F6Tp1YTuMPzHQivhWgdhsxs5XPDUYx3tV ("change" address from a previous transaction)

and the outputs went to:

177uEkAc7WJjretMPUcAwkTBFnYQ7CENyQ (sender address)
1N9Fee2pbrXArtapVJERjkDG1jJtzxbAz6 (site fee address)
...and...
12AumNDSqaV8SgooN7HBb2aph3itP98q3n ("change" address for the remaining coins)

Now, if we look at the last payed bet, to address 1Jv5FPjpYag3eyPsUurr2i42iEFrzCVoYA, the transaction shows that the inputs are:

12AumNDSqaV8SgooN7HBb2aph3itP98q3n (the same "change" address of the previous payment)
17SfVoQyFASqdmsVyJq1NVhEhX8hpozFUD (probably another "change" address)

and the outputs to:

1Jv5FPjpYag3eyPsUurr2i42iEFrzCVoYA (sender address)
1N9Fee2pbrXArtapVJERjkDG1jJtzxbAz6 (site fee address)
...and...
1NzCZn2VVCSqVUXwsVzgn719WwMFn49SP2 (a new "change" address)

If then we look at the balance of that last "change" address, we find that, as of now, it is of 0.01692978 BTC, which means that there is enough balance to pay for any bet under that amount (counting the fee and so), yet lots of "payable" bets have expired.

I suspect that the site only keeps account of the balance available in the deposit address to compute the payments, but everytime a transaction is made, the remaining coins are going, by bitcoin's design, to "change" addresses belonging to the same wallet, and that coins are not being used to pay for the bets, which IMHO opinion is quite unfair and, in any case, not included in the game terms.

Thoughts?
