Title: New game =))

I've uploaded wallet.dat with 50 BTC in it.

But you can't know if you are first who downloads this file... The only way to find this out - pay 20 BTC to download wallet.dat

Anyone interested? =)

Well.. I hope I have some trust so far =) But really - this is promo game for my ubitio.us, not a way to scam someone for 20 btcs =)

I may or may not have been the first person to download the wallet.dat file from hippich's website.  Send me 2 BTC to find out in a private message.  If I was the first person and you mention this post, I will send you 1 BTC.

The level of creativity unlocked by Bitcoin's zero-cost irreversible money transfers is just unthinkable.

What you guys are seeing here is just the beginning :-)

It was me. I didn't see any 50-BTC outputs in any blocks in the relevant timespan, and I thought I'd have an advantage in the block rescanning process. I was still surprised to get it, since I noticed this topic 2+ hours after the post.

I broke the coin so other people wouldn't be able to scan the block chain for it as I did ;) . 50 BTC is a good choice because it is the most common coin size, but next time you might want to avoid specifying the exact amount.
