In case you wonder/noticed:
This morning there was a somehow strange situation. Starting from 5:59 until 10:15 not a single incoming bet transaction got confirmed. As Slim was quite active in this timeframe the available amount of confirmed coins gradually decreased until it hit the safety limit. Therefor the site went into "Backend Down" mode, not accepting any new incoming bet and immediately refunding it. Then came Block #216886 at 10:15 including all missing transactions at once Shocked

I really did not expect that no confirmations come in for such a long time. I almost started panicking about a new/unkown type of double-spend attack Undecided

. But as Slim really seems to be a nice person as far as I know him I knew it must be something else.

So, Lesson learned? Hot wallet balance needs to increase to have more confirmed coins available any time Roll Eyes

And obviously more players are needed, so that if one player/wallet has this kind of problem there are enough other transactions that still go through fine. (I suspect the main problem is quite long chains of unconfirmed transactions being built up between bitbattle and Slims wallet. Unconfirmed win payouts were immediately again coming in as new bet, again ending up in the next unconfirmed payout...)

lol... yeah, I was on a losing streak for the record books too!!! late night gambling... baaaaadddddd
