Some of your choices are not necessarily wrong, but I have indicated what I believe are better choices given the context or in some examples, limited context.

 
Okey, now I know - but thx anyway. (:)
 
Okay, now I know - but thanks anyway. (:)

[AmE - not a teacher]

FYI, "but thanks anyway" is inappropriate in this context. It (usually) means "you tried to help, but you could not, but thanks for trying." Since Bill did help, you should instead just say "thanks", or "and thanks".

1: I tried to get tickets to the last showing, but they said they were sold out.
2: I would have loved to have seen that play, but thanks anyway.
