Coin controller critical bug

Hello, I found out about this gambling site: https://coincontroller.com/ I tried it a couple of times succesfully but not this time:

I clicked 'take control now', deposited into the address and waited. coin was locked for 10 minutes and I saw the ten minutes expire but it didn't continue to the confirmation stage. My transaction was obviously submitted since blockchain is telling me so. Basically they now took my coins for free!

https://blockchain.info/tx/f0a97348387ea66459b9b3bd63bcd4edb1e2fd1f58d53f6057fd7ac4d9853f89

The site also has no captcha check when sending an email (this is very spam sensitive). The scrolling of the digits of the price takes too long and is very annoying.

@mikerbiker6 - you realize your signature advertises the site you're saying is garbage right?

Yes I know, That was before I noticed this flaw in the system. I am hoping the admin of the site can prove me wrong. Somehow this is linked to cryptonaut. The name of the sites IRC is #cryptonauts. But he seems unreachable at this time.

With any luck some other suckers in your community to click on your affiliate link. Hopefully that will make some of your money back for you.

so yeah, this is actually my site... did you try using the contact form at all? I have not gotten an email at all from it (maybe somethings up with that.. will have to check it out).

Im aware of the issues like the scrolling animation and a few other little bugs on there, I just havnt had time to deal with it at all. I built the site last year but it basically just totally runs itself, I havnt really touched it in months.

send me a message with more details so I can figure out what happened and get you a refund

I am glad you are aware of the problem. I do not require a refund, I only lost a few cent.... but still it needs to be fixed. I send some emails through the contact portal on your site, but that doesn't seem to work.

Every time I find stuff like this I feel the need to take it out on some forum. I may overreact a bit in the title ( edited). The reason I didn't remove the referal link is because I still feel like the site is legitimate, altough it has some bugs.( for people wondering)

Now, what the problem is: I want to take over a coin, submit a form, and send payment. You have 10 minutes to pay, in which I did pay as you can see in the link in OP. But after paying, the countdown didn't stop, and my payment was never acknowledged. Bitcoin gone....

hmm I found the transaction and the specific bet that it was for. Looks like that the receiving transaction was not even seen by the bitcoin server until about 20 minutes after the bet was made (and bets expire after 10 minutes of not seeing anything). Strange.. not sure how that would have happened, but I sent you back a refund anyways.

Ok thanks. I may know why it happned, since the bet size is so small I include a very small fee, it is therefore not yet shared by many nodes and may not have been shared with the node you use in the 10min timeframe. (but it definitely was send in time).

To solve this you would need to be able to create accounts with deposit addresses, Then your btc gets transformed into IOU's and you could even spend satoshi's because it happens offchain from then on.
