Casascius gets it. Paid 0.3BTC to 1BowSerbsenLBELbwR5aZE1aqy7ooGCydT (firstbits under his prof. pic).
Thanks everyone for your enthusiasm. That was shockingly fast!
Anyone know why all p2pool blocks seems to start with the payout address "Unknown: 0"? Perhaps people mining without adding any payout address?

Well if you are paying slightly over the average, then the seller cant really cheat ? ie. paying 0.01 would not get the extra games.
Exactly. I have seen people pull this scam before, and so I am glad to see that Qoh found a good solution.

So, if I understand P2Pool correctly, they have a "share-chain" which includes the payout addresses of all miners that have earned shares.
All p2pool miners are working on a block which proportionally pays everyone in the share-chain. This should mean there are blocks with 50-100 receipients sharing the 50BTC block reward right?
First person to explain to me why I am wrong or provide a link in block explorer showing one of these blocks with so many different payout addresses wins it.
Thanks!

@RaggedMonk: Can't help but notice that your duck suffers from case of bloody diarrhea. Or it's just a contrail?
Anyway, now seeing how you're making fun of me and avoiding giving an answer, I'm sure that I'm on to something and I won't get fooled. Perhaps triangle data that you try to keep so secret is a holy grail of bitcoin technical analysis. A graph of thousands truths. I'll investigate further after I take my meds.
I do not know about these mysterious triangles. I have always assumed they were just the product of bored day traders playing with graphs in MSPaint while waiting for the ticker to move.

The head of the swan is re-emerging. I see this as moving from bullish to duckish.

I support the way Qoh has set up this transaction. With previous bundles I've seen "Pay what you want, and I'll pay that and send you the code," which makes it easy for the seller to pocket everything and only pay $0.01.
By promising to A. Send first and, B. Include the "Over-the-Average" game World of Goo, Qoh is unable to screw Humble Bundle out of money.
Unfortunately for you, however, I have already purchased my copy. Good luck!

My guess is that [Tycho] is ultimately the person with the most control over the final say, and he is choosing to not act at this point. If he changes his mind, this will probably be a done deal.
Tycho's insistence for more time, in light of some dissent, is a wise man's opinion. At first I thought Tycho was being stubborn or taking his fellow pool-operators side out of some kind of loyalty, but I now agree with him that we should give it more time. Another month or two of testing to calm the FUD is more valuable then getting multisig functionality right now. Luke is brash and seems a bit arrogant, but I think his heart is in the right place. I don't think he needs to be excommunicated by any means, but it wouldn't hurt for him to cool down a bit.

I have to disagree, right off the bat it circles directly to this forum regarding Gavin heading to the CIA.... then it again alludes to why Satoshi never made "himself" public after inventing the technology.
Neither one of these tidbits are facts, and neither remotely constitutes any proof that the CIA uses bitcoin. At best, the random people involved in the CIA thread are spouting (completely uninformed) speculation and hearsay. Allusions that Satoishi is actually the CIA are specifically that. Allusions. And if it was true, than there wouldn't really be any point in Gavin giving a presentation on bitcoin to it's actual creators, invalidating any of the above hearsay. (Should we get all conspiratorial about it and say that the CIA invited Gavin to provide plausible deniability that they had any prior knowledge of bitcoins?) There isn't a single verifiable fact in the article that indicates the CIA is paying spooks in bitcoins. I would say this article is proof... that tin foil hat-types are drawn to use bitcoin.

So, besides being a company that sells food products, what does Amazon have to do with Foie Gras? Many supermarkets also sell it... Specialty food stores... restaurants...
Why are you picking on Amazon in particular?

Would it be possible to make thread locking available for mods only? I feel like 99% of locked threads are inappropriate. If someone is trolling, shutting down the thread is a great way to feed them.
I support removing the ability to lock for general users. I would say only mods or paid "premium" users (or whatever you call them) should be able to.

Creating new topics bashing it is still free PR. It would be more effective to just ignore SolidCoin and let it die naturually.
It is not a threat whatsoever, and does not justify a ban. There are plenty of other threads and topics I am tired of on this forum, but just to ignore them.

I vote B. The light blue in A looks weird to me.

Food animals are almost all treated poorly. Is foie gras that much worse than standing in a pool of shit with little room to move for your whole life? That is how many cows live.
You can try to be a vegetarian, but seeing as how we completely disregard the comfort of food animals, I am not sure why Foie Gras in particular should be singled out. Our food system is disgusting and morally repugnant. But I see Foie Gras as just a drop in the ocean.

I think the first suggested plan (weekly assessment of approval) is preferable. It sets a simple precedent for future upgrades, and IMHO approval voting works very well. It has a means of rejection, which the March 1st plan lacks. It also relieves the developers from having to balance urgency with testing time, by giving that job to the community instead.
Sounds good to me. For the first proposal, I disagree with the arbitrary 20% rule.
What is the 20% rule?

Sorry, but does this remind anyone else of goatse?

so you rather i spend the bitcoin on something worse like a hit on someone?
Sorry, I'd loan you the money, but I currently have all my money tied up in hits on various enemies.
