Here's a trivia game I made where you can play trivia for bitcoin:

www.bittrivia.com

Basically the way it works is you create an account and send bitcoin to the address listed. In about 10 seconds the bitcoin will be credited to your account and you can start playing!

Everyone bids a certain amount of bitcoin.
After the bidding round is over, a trivia question is shown.
The first person to correctly answer the trivia question wins everyone else's bitcoin up to the amount that they bid.
When you're done playing, you can cashout to a bitcoin address.

I'd love to get feedback on what you all think!

I've been lurking in the forums for several months, but this is the first time that I've actually made an account and posted. If you guys think this game is a neat idea, I'd really appreciate it if someone could repost this in General Discussion or another board.

So you yourself can just setup a bot to play and win everything, as it has access to the questions/answers database and can answer instantly.

Is this legit? I thought we were years away from being able to build an actual quantum computer?

Oh, they exist alright. They're even in use already.

http://blogs.nature.com/news/2012/08/d-wave-quantum-computer-solves-protein-folding-problem.html


Also they cost 10,000,000 $ per unit and are application specific, so.... yeah, you don't really want one.

This guy?
What do you want to know?

She wants the real identity behind the fake name. And that's something better Internet Detectives have tried and failed to solve.

What is known is that he is a 1992 Brown University alumni in Computer Sciences who made fuck-you money in a dot com bubble
and now sits on his arse in SF and drowns the Internet in a flood of words all day and that's about it.

I've found some very, veeeeeeeery spurious connections to a real life name, but by far not enough to justify posting about it, because I'm very likely completely wrong.

What do you know about Customs & Legalities of these kinds of things?

It depends largely on the specifics of your country.

For me in Germany for example I could not order the Piracetam and Aniracetam they offer, due to them having RX status here. Importing that would bring me into all kinds of trouble with customs.

Similarily the Idebenone has quite limited market authorization at this time and is really still in investigational status. Importing that would bring me into even more trouble with customs.

Others like the Pyritinol I can order without any problem as it has OTC status. If I were in Austria, I couldn't as it has RX status there. The Picamilon I couldn't have ordered last year, but can now because it got a fresh market authorization as a OTC drug.

As you can see it's quite complex and you should check the local legal status of the product you want to order beforehand, because customs can get quite irate.

Well, this is it Ladies and Gentlemen. Here we are on the eve of the greatest musical event the world has ever seen. The excitement. The laughter. The love. The euphoria.

I expect the early people are arriving already, camping tonight to get front row seats for tomorrows love explosion.

Unfortunately I am unable to attend as I'm busy preparing Brussel Sprouts for Christmas day.
WHAT?? brussel sprouts?HuhHuh?
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Traditional. If you cook them right, they taste nice.

The important thing is to add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg to the cooking water. It makes all the difference.

I See You Pay High Interest. How Is This Possible?
We can pay high interest rates because we collect fees from our users. Whereas Paypal simply keeps the money when they collect transaction fees, we return a large portion of fees to our clients in the form of interest rates. Why are we so generous? Because in order to compete with Paypal and Liberty Reserve, we need to offer a better service and high interest to attract new clients. Our main goal is growth, not profits.

I smell something...

Is it an illegimate sailor?

My children (15 and 17) are pretty knowledgeable about bitcoin.  But they know a lot of stuff that other children do not get to learn, like 9-11 being an act of terrorism pulled off by Israel and elements of the U.S. military/industrial/medical establishment.

My son owns bitcoin himself.  He asks for payment in them.
oh boy, here we go. can someone get Occam's razor?

Maybe he's just Hitler reincarnated? It would at least make more sense.

I present to you a new Bitcoin "Big List" style site.

The Big List of Bitcoin

This site will be a great resource for new users starting out in Bitcoin to find reputable and trustworthy sites to use.

The site will be constantly updated, by me. This will be my long term project, it will stay up indefinitely.

Mt. Gox was hacked several times.

Bitfloor was hacked and lost everything.

MemoryDealers and Bitchain.info were implicated in the latest privacy breach issue.

Virwox, BTC-E, bitcoin.de and bitcoin-24 have been mentioned in threads of the "company" not doing their job several times.

Cryptostocks is a unregistered stock exchange destined to go the way of GLBSE real soon now.

I can't wait for 3 months from now where people who read this thread before purchasing are posting in it saying they've been ripped off.

You know what's worse? The Manchester City Council is too dumb to recognize the guarantee issue as a problematic issue and to look further into that company. Now I'll have to break out the big guns.
3913  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Summary of the events last night - And an apology. on: December 20, 2012, 01:41:55 AM
Oh please people. I'm admittedly the first one who will get on anyone's case again and again and again relentlessly,
but PLEASE; this time Roger found someone who understood where the problem is, acknowledged it and confirmed how
it will not happen again. What else do you need? Roger Ver is in contrast to all rumours not actually able to redefine
linear time, so what happened, happened, and now a solution has to be found. While Roger was unable to express it due to
god-complex issues, Jon did it. And he did it fine. He did it as you would expect it from any other business unable to effect
linear time.

After piuk's very quick and necessary changes I think we're in the clear here.

Disclaimer: This is in no way a recommendation to use Roger's services; his willingness to break social compacts became clear
enough, but I don't think it is necessary to further harp on things that can no longer be changed due to them having been
happened and the responsible parties acknowleded that things did not go as they should via third person.

But if you choose this, be aware that blockchain.info has a reputation for violating their own privacy policy.  I wouldn't recommend using them, but if you choose to do so, don't give them any of your real contact information.

I'm not aware of this, other than how they scrape the bitcoin address from a publicly accessible forum and link that forum user to the address.  Is that what you are describing?

3916  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: WARNING - Blockchain.info is NOT SAFE on: December 19, 2012, 07:28:49 PM

I would like to clarify that the funds did not come from Bitpay.  (I was mistaken in an earlier post)
They actually came from another Bitcoinstore.com customer.
This customer was mistakenly told to send the funds to the wrong address.


My inner accountant is now trying to stab his own eyes out after what he just read, and I'm not even an accountant.
3917  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: WARNING - Blockchain.info is NOT SAFE on: December 19, 2012, 06:56:10 PM
I think the discussion about deletion of the first thread is a bit too late. Someone has already removed the thread from the live forums.

Good show. Quick, reasonable and effective countermeasures.
