Sorry to hear about your financial loss. That sucks.

But, I must say, it rubs me wrong when I hear complaints about "spamming the blockchain" and the evil of satoshi dice. Where do you see bitcoin going? Do you want to keep it as a little pet or do you want it to become a global currency beyond the borders of governments?

Clearly, the way bitcoin was designed was to encourage the gradual adoption of transaction fees, as those fees will replace the revenue lost from the block reward halvings. However, those transaction fees will go to the miners and the nodes will still need to store the transactions.

I see the "solution" to these problems as designing ways to creatively solve the "problem". For example, implementing a parsed version of the blockchain to remove older transactions.

We shouldn't run from or discourage satoshi dice, we need to embrace it as a precursor of what is to come.

Cheers!
