Thanks! Good luck and keep us posted!

Yes, but the purpose was to test the system including the withdrawal process, and not for the tiny 10 bits.

I personally prefer a system with automatic withdrawal rather than manual- feel like my winnings are subjected to approval!

Is the withdrawal automatic or manual? I tried it and found that it is pending and no Tx was created.

Played a few rounds and it gave me the feeling of the players are bound to lose. Although that's the case for all types of gambling, i think the winning and betting rules should be twisted a little to let the players feel that they still stand a chance to win/ win back what was lost.

Keeping the bet at the same amount of 200 bits will make people lose their interest very soon, as the amount they can win is too little = waste of time.

Besides, the withdrawal of the fund was not working well, gave me a few "internal error" messages. It was successful only after a few tries. This makes me worry that even if I have won, the OP might not have sufficient fund to allow the withdrawal.

Nevertheless, great effort to create something different- looking forward to the new version.

Good luck! 10 consecutive wins is not easy though- You definitely need lots of luck!

Thanks for putting in the effort to conduct the survey. Hope your team can continue the good job so that we will understand the development of bitcoin over time.

Interesting puzzle. Is the author of the puzzle in this forum and what is his id? Perhaps he could let us know which are the correct ones and we can narrow down our search.

This is not the first time and will most likely be a closed dooor auction. The price of the coins will never be known. Therefore, there will not be any changes in price just like before.

I was one of them who submitted my address (just as a bookmark) but I never believe he will really going to give away his fortune.

If he is really so generous, there are some many charity organizations waiting for donations. Even a 10 BTC will make a real difference in many of these organizations that are helping the poor. He could have helped 100s of them.

I heard the English he used was mainly the "British" style, so I bet he must be from one of the Commonwealth countries- Australia is one of them (where Craig was from!).

I think the use of a Japanese name was to add more "mystery" to the identity. Almost all Japanese use the US style of English so I think he is not a Japanese.

I guess we will see more and more mentions of bitcoins in drama/movies, as the producers are all constanntly looking for the "in" things to be included in their work.

However, so far most of these are in the US/Canada/EU, and not so much in the Asia, especially China- although they have one of the largest bitcoiner populations.

If you are doing margin trading, anytime will be good to buy/sell. However, if you are into long-term bitcoin investment, any time now if not a good time to sell- it's actually good time to buy.

Thanks for the warning. For me, I only keep a small amount of bitcoin in my mobile for just in case- I don't have a strong password for my phone but that's ok with me. I do keep some in Coinbase (desktop web based) and mostly in paper wallet.

There are exchanges that don't charge commission... however, the price at which they are selling the coins is much higher and the price they are buying is much lower! Do your calculation first!

I would like to give in a go! Do you need my address? 1FZKPm5SJ1XaU3m3DvFmk1nGmYWeruPwfw

I guess the job is to hide any hackable points and secure the cold wallets... How can cold wallets be hack so easily?

10 BTC will do! Thanks!

Signature campaign is one of the way to get a small part of my first 1 BTC. The rest were mostly bought from an exchange. I am just over 1BTC now...

I think anything can happen- but when is it going to happen?

If 1 BTC can become $10,000 in the next 5 years, that is consider extremely good performer. $100,000 unless the depreciation of USD is very bad...

Bitcoin is something precious... so you can easily understand that it is not going to be easy. If you can get it easily, it would be previous.

Best ways to get bitcoin is to buy it, sell something for it or trade. Faucet is fun but the amount is negligible.
