Speaking of cheating...I noticed that it was trivially easy to game the system by clicking the same ad (the only ad) over and over until the timer ran down.
Sorry about that http://www.weusecoins.com, hopefully they don't charge you multiple times for clicks originating from the same IP.

Because people don't want to sit there and stare at their screens doing nothing for 5 minutes.
Also if I go to another browser window the timer stops so I can't even run it in the background.

So assuming I can no longer use Dwolla to transfer cash from Mt.Gox to my bank account, what are the best reputable options available?

Has anybody been able to successfully interface with the Mt.Gox trading API in Linux?
I've been pulling my hair out for hours trying to figure this shit out.

My program logic is all flow charted and pseudo-coded but first I need to connect.
I chose Perl because I'm familiar with it but perhaps Java would be easier.

Any tips on how to get started?

I only have addresses in my address book from my most recent transactions.  I can only assume this is because I recently updated my bitcoin client (0.6.0.6-beta).
My balance and transaction history is still in tact so I'm OK there.  I just want to make sure that any new BTC sent to old addresses would still be received.
Is this normal after an upgrade?

When I contacted MTGox they responded within a couple of hours.  Granted I was just bitching that I couldn't use PayPal but still it was prompt and from a human.
Also, I've been exchanging USD/BTC freely for at least a year and have never had any problems.
