BTC1 or 1BTC or 1 BTC? (not sure if the BTC code will work in the title of this thread, hence...)
I desire to use the proper form, hence the question.
Thank you in advance.
~Bruno K~
EDIT: It didn't work in the title, so my next question is why not?

Well, ain't that ironic! About ten days ago I, too, cut the same finger on my hand, albeit it was the left one but not the middle finger. It's the finger between the middle finger and the thumb and doesn't have a name like the other fingers do, which is also ironic.
~Cackling Bear~
I believe that's also known as an index finger. Did you know you can specify the size of the picture? Quote this post to see the code.
I did know that, but I didn't even know the size of my picture. Imgur doesn't load at school, and I can't get a good feel for size when I'm uploading it off my phone. Thanks though. Updating OP Nice of you to update OP despite the missing tip of the finger. Kudos. Well if it were truly that bad, there would be no OP  There's an index finder on both hands? Actually, I'm aware of what's it's called, but at the time of my posting, I was on an ironic kick. I'm better now. ~Bruno K~ |

I not going to do this myself, but I will submit one password guess. The first person to try it and it works, please split the bounty with me. Here is my guess: Bruno.

I just sent theymos the following PM: Special Request (please help--minor issue) I just realized that I hoped theymos would put his reply in this thread oppose to, or in conjunction with, replying via a PM. |

I'm giving up after this. I must have spent like 2 hours >.< Since you said the picture you gave was rotated 180 degrees, I rotated my entry 180 degrees. http://imgur.com/6FM94Therefore, ildubbioso, it looks like DiamondCardz found the rock first. He/she did send me two prior submissions via PM. I do not understand, if he is first why his entry is later than mine? He sent a previous one? And why did you posted the second one? I suppose you are right but why didn't you post the date of the first entry?  I'm taking the liberty of posting all of DiamondCardz's PM's to me and theymos can verify that they are true and unedited. The last thing I want is for ildubbioso to be upset with me. My entry to the Genesis Rock competition That's my entry.  Entry Number 2... Entry Number 3; last one I'm giving up after this. I must have spent like 2 hours >.< Since you said the picture you gave was rotated 180 degrees, I rotated my entry 180 degrees. http://imgur.com/6FM94Incase I do win (probably won't but) Incase I do win, can you send the BTC to (for private reasons, I did redact the Bitcoin address that DiamondCardz had here) ? Thanks.
Did I win? Did I really win?  If I did, can you send the BTC please? Thanks My apologies to DiamondCardz for submitting your PMs to me, but in light of this minor misunderstanding I hope your understand. I have determined that DiamondCardz is the winner and he will be paid the Bitcoin I owe him regardless of any other outcome. I have yet to send DC the coin, but he will get it. I am PM'ing theymos to have him look at this post, to offer up his honest assessment. Regardless of what theymos rules, DC will still get paid. If I'm proven in error, than ildubbioso will also be awarded. If ildubbioso is proven to be the loser, than I will submit a special contest for only he to entry with the winning prize being 2 BTC. Thank you, both, for participating and understanding. This will be resolved in a satisfactory manner. ~Bruno K~ |

Fact 1: The US Government is trying to subvert the Iranian Government
Fact 2: Much of any government's power comes from its ability to print and control currency
Fact 3: Bitcoin, to the extent that it's used instead of a national currency, removes power from governments
Conclusion 1: Perhaps the US Gov should be covertly promoting and disseminating Bitcoin in Iran. What better way to bring down the regime than to collapse its currency and empower the citizens with a tool to resist the regime monetarily?
In other words, the State Dept. should help with the Farsi translations.
This would work--short term. Imagine if some US entity did approach say the TBF and asked for their help to implement this. And let's say the members of the TBF obliged. Down the road, said entity will request of further help with some other regime, crisis, whatever, but this time the TBF members reply with no-can-do for some reason. At this point, the US entity threatens them with if-you-don't-we're-telling-what-you-did-back-when. See the quagmire? ~Bruno K~ |

Genesis Rock FOUND!I don't make a habit of posting my private PMs, but in this case I feel I need to make an exception. (unedited and nothing personal included) I'm giving up after this. I must have spent like 2 hours >.< Since you said the picture you gave was rotated 180 degrees, I rotated my entry 180 degrees. http://imgur.com/6FM94Therefore, ildubbioso, it looks like DiamondCardz found the rock first. He/she did send me two prior submissions via PM and one follow-up PM as to where to send the Bitcoin, of which I've yet to do. Providing the information I supplied above, would you be so kind as to relinquish your claim or formally request of theymos to check my PM logs to verify? I've never deleted a single PM sent or receive, and have no problem with theymos reviewing them, hoping he never publishes the private conversations of Matthew and I practicing our dirty talk. To all others who participated, thanks. Hope you enjoyed the challenge. I wish I could do this again, but I would need to make sure the contest is fair in light of there being a program available to hunt it. I'm not accusing anybody if such a program was used, nor care, so please don't even consider that I'm concern about it. The contest was fair, albeit I'm looking to who among my staff rotated the rock.  ~Bruno K~

With my theory, where the letters are doubled may have no significance to the code. Also, has anybody considered if the blue ink use to pen it is relevant?

In a game it is not necessary to carry coin, you can carry lot's of stuff virtually, and the money supply do not have a impact in game's economy like in real life
Take SKYRIM for example, the money in the game is always limited, every merchant have less than several thousand coins, and typically an item can cost as much as 10000 coins
As a result, people do not store coins, they store items in their closet, lot's of items, maybe totally worth millions of coins, those items become a store of value instead, and they become useless in later part of the game play
So, in a game where BTC is applied, since the items can be generated endlessly, eventually they will worth almost nothing in BTC's value
In some games, items can be gifted to other toons. Some players create other toons just for the gifting aspect. My brother is a high level player investing thousands to get his main toons up to snuff. But for the past several months he's invested zero bucks, yet keeps leveling up his main toon, as well on his newly created one. I don't have a clue as to how he does it, but it has something to do with manipulating the URLs. There's only a handful of players in the well-known game he plays that take advantage of this. For the MMORPG, I think creating an alt-currency backed on BTC could be more interesting. Instead of "mining", when people play, it generates hashes that are used to solve the blocks. When the block is solved, the MMOCoins could simply appear somewhere in the game. Since those coins can only be used for this game, it creates an autonomous economy. Using BTC directly in the game would make the game economy sensible to external events. After that, if you want to "check out" of the game, you could simply sell your MMOCoins for BTC and bingo! You played a game and you made money! Now...why I'm talking on this forum instead of coding that MMO....  Before I even came up to your post, Brunic (are we related?), I envisioned such a scenario, sans the specific MMOCoins aspect. ~Bruno K~ |

Many Japanese still go nuts over George Washington. (recall reading or viewing that somewhere)

The Wikipedia page reference this book, a favorite author of mine: http://www.amazon.com/Presenting-Digital-Cash-Seth-Godin/dp/1575210622Amazon.com Review
As a rule, money is exciting to get but mighty dry to read about. Presenting Digital Cash breaks the rule--the second half of it anyway. Seth Godin grabs you with wit, stimulates you with new possibilities, and opens your eyes to trends that could change our relationship with money the way cash changed barter and was itself changed by checks and credit cards. Will digital cash bring greater freedom from theft? A true world economy? An end to counterfeiting or a way for hackers to create financial chaos? Godin examines today's situation and what it may bode for tomorrow. |

PMing you my entry.
Sorry, but wrong rock. Please feel free to submit your image on this thread so that others can confirm or deny what I've stated. Not to spoil this contest, but there is software for this type of problem;
"Pattern matching" shifts the pattern image one pixel at a time over the master image and search for a difference =0. If the pattern is in another scale than in the master image, rotated, colour tone or there are different compression artefacts in one of the images, the task is harder, but close matches are still a big help.
NO FUCKIN' WAY! You got to be kidding me. The image I presented has not be re-sized or blurred, so I guess such a program may work. This is why I can't have anything nice. |

I just spend 10 or 15 minutes a day looking. I've been able to eliminate some large areas because of certain attributes, but what's left is still a LOT of rocks. Can I assume that you haven't manipulated the image at all (flipped it upside down, mirror image, resized it larger than you can zoom in the website, etc)?
Not only did I flipped it 180 o, I added the small case letter b (or is it one of those sheet music symbols?) and graffiti it with XOX to the left of the b. Prior to penning this humorous post, that was the first time I noticed the letter b on the rock. If I flip the image, it would then be a 9. Maybe I should re-dub this rock the B9 Rock and when it's found, the finder must yell Bingo, otherwise his submission doesn't count. You're the at least second person who has stated their spent time a huntin' this rock. Have you notice that even if you zoom in the farthest person, their image is rather clear? Amazing photo! ~Bruno K~ |

I have read this entire thread and now feel enlightened or dirty. To be safe, I'm going to take a bath.
