tx curve - update utxo selection

if the tx/block in the tx curve is very high, we might run out of utxos to use for creating tx; need to make sure we have enough utxos before generating the curve.

*edit*

more debugging showed that the cause of the following error wasn't lack of utxos but a flaw in the utxo selection process, so updated this issue accordingly
In what case would err == nil and actor == nil?  Can this just be an error check, and then log (not eat) the error below?
