<p>That seems to be your problem. According to <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees" rel="nofollow">this info</a>, if your transaction output is smaller than <code>0.01 BTC</code>, you need to pay a minimum <code>0.0001 BTC</code> transaction fee. Since you only have <code>0.00008 BTC</code>, there are not enough funds to make the transaction (note also that the minimum fee is over 6x the amount you're trying to transfer, so it might not be a good idea to do so).</p>

<p>As for your other question, your game seems to be uniquely identified by that URL, so sharing the link would allow someone else to continue the game for you (and lose <strong>your</strong> money). I'm not really sure how the mechanism behind this works, though...</p>

<p>I started with Bitcoin a few days ago, and have mainly been going to free faucets and sites like that to get free Bitcoins.

<p>It would not let me, and gave this reason...</p>

I started with Bitcoin a few days ago, and have mainly been going to free faucets and sites like that to get free Bitcoins. I just recently found out about Bitcoin games like the one at <https://satoshimines.com/>. I played around with it and like it, but I tried to transfer some Bitcoins to my account on that website.

It would not let me, and gave this reason...

I have `0.00008 bitcoins` as of right now.

That seems to be your problem. According to [this info](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees), if your transaction output is smaller than `0.01 BTC`, you need to pay a minimum `0.0001 BTC` transaction fee. Since you only have `0.00008 BTC`, there are not enough funds to make the transaction (note also that the minimum fee is over 6x the amount you're trying to transfer, so it might not be a good idea to do so).

As for your other question, your game seems to be uniquely identified by that URL, so sharing the link would allow someone else to continue the game for you (and lose **your** money). I'm not really sure how the mechanism behind this works, though...
