This has happened dozens of times prior to your case. Just write them an email claiming the legitimacy of your transaction and they'll likely "whitelist" you so you won't run into this in the future.

Seems others are reporting this problem too, but...
Two 7970's indicate a hashrate of over 1 mh/s, but litecoinpool indicates my worker is at ~70 k/hashes. WTF?

Casascius, congratulations.

I bid 1 BTC (via escrow) if nobody wins and you really want to rid yourself of the thing quickly.

For the record, 20 BTC is the price I sold my 10 BTC silver Casascius coin (w/ gold-plated BTC) for only a couple weeks ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjYrursFkJQThis video was made by the IRS, starring IRS employees, using $60,000 of taxpayer money. I was able to get through about 1 minute of it before I just had to turn it off. It is just awful on so many levels. I made it to 1:10.

here i am. any questions?
Do you like what you do? Do you believe there is any wrongness in what you did/are doing? Why or why not? Do you feel any regret or remorse? Why or why not? Do you think you could make the same amount of money by not scamming? Why or why not? Do you like yourself?

I'm going to lay this out pure and simple.
You made a huge financial miscalculation out of sheer ignorance. My opinion is that you would be wise to cut your losses and sell the thing immediately. If ASICs reach consumers at anywhere near the scale that a company like BFL intends to do within the next few months, you will likely never earn more than a maximum of $10,000-$30,000 (if you're lucky) before the difficulty gets so high that all of your useless extras start costing you more in electrical costs than what you'll earn generating BTC.
...
Wait a second...
You only have 12 GPUs? HOLY DEAR GOD SELL!!!

I'd use it to help fund an online "mental health" forum where people are given a monetary (BTC) incentive to help others. The premise is the following: Utilizing something similar to Facebook's "Like" feature, the forum would allow for a "tipping" mechanism. Specifically, one set of users would be using the forum to give advice and support to others, and another set of users would be the ones asking for support or venting their problems. If these users "like" the advice they receive, they can indicate this and the helper will receive a small BTC tip for their time and consideration. This monetary incentive would help to mitigate the typical problems you find on social networking sites, particularly mental health ones (e.g. ridicule, humiliation, psychopathy, etc.). This one BTC would help kickstart the tip jar

I abhor this meme.
Rather, I abhor the image.
You just received an F- in social marketing.
That is the point of the meme. Bitcoin doesn't need "social marketing" (whatever that is) because it is math. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fencrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcQUYG9ANPsiq-g7hIUx89BWpydEdoTEE4QhbKm3VUcEG16_GNilag&t=663&c=FY8fE8esgcOVtA) And Tivo didn't need effective marketing because it was only about a decade ahead of it's time. Oh wait... #1 misconception about Bitcoin by Bitcoin users: Math is more important than sex.

I understand that the market reaches this consensus through buyers and sellers placing their bids and asks on the exchanges, but WHY is a Bitcoin worth that price?
If Bitcoins were at $50 right now we would all probably think that was completely reasonable. If they were trading at $1000 a Bitcoin we would accept that too. Do buyers just pick arbitrary sell prices in their head, and then sellers pick arbitrary buy prices, and then the market reaches a consensus? Does anyone actually have a good understand of this or is there no "good answer". Thanks.
You actually answered your own question. "Consensus through buyers and sellers" is what creates the exchange rate which is determined at the exact moment of a given transaction. Now, to answer "why" the consensus has declared Bitcoin is worth ~$70 USD you need to look at utility. Why is Bitcoin more valuable respective to other currencies? It's because of its fundamentals. Bitcoin is generally considered to be more useful than other currencies as a means of transferring/storing wealth, and so the general consensus is that its value is higher. Moreover, I think it's safe to say that Bitcoin being valued at ~$70 USD is currently the result of speculative consensus. For example, with all this talk about Coinlab taking over operations for Mt. Gox in the USA, people may be speculating that investors will find Bitcoin very useful as well, and so we predict Bitcoin's value will continue to rise as its utility is recognized by additional others.

Any chance you'll be listing some fine men's watches any time soon? And, by "fine men's watches," I mean watches with lots of precious metal, diamonds, and other sparkly things ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Question.
In the event a single person has 51 tickets and nobody else buys a ticket, you will still ship to that person, correct?
