dooglus, quick q if you would oblige...

Two days ago Erik implemented a change which returns 0.5% on a losing bet. The significant benefit of this to Bitcoin is that unspendable bitdust utxo is nearly eliminated. Only bets of <=0.06 BTC create such outputs.

For information can you advise what percentage of SD bets are 0.06 or less?
(the last two days is probably fine enough for a sampling).

Edit. Don't bother. I saw your file above and sampled that and about 54% of recent bets are 0.06 or less. Wow. Most of these are really small!
In any case, an fx rate of $200 will mean that all utxo since the change will be spendable. This is not a permanent problem then...
