He has his "received" tabs highlighted.

Also, additional question since I assume you will read to this thread again soon after Bitman responds.....

If a winner wins the jackpot, does he win the jackpot AND get paid out for that last deposit?  Or does he just win the jackpot?

Is there a variance in the amount of time it takes Bitcoinduit to recognize a deposit?  Usually I can hit refresh and within 30 seconds my deposit shows.  I deposited .2 BTC at http://bitcoinduit.com/game/viewRound.php?id=MaxJackpot 12 minutes ago (about 21:26 GMT) and nothing so far.

Besides, don't forget everyone.  The more you DEPOSIT, the BETTER chance you have at receiving random payouts.

9 direct referrals and not 1 deposit?  Seriously?  Cheesy

meh. When market makers are super long and don't want any more coins with the price at $10.75, they will put out a bid for $10.50 for 1000 coins, but have their finger on the cancel button.

I want higher prices, but pointing out an angle.

Have you been watching me?

I want higher prices too but...don't count your dicks before they snatch.

I think it's, on average, going up for the next 2 weeks due to the pre/post conference hype.  After that, I think a lot of it depends on the success on the conference (like, what will Forbes/CNN/Wall Street Journal/etc. make of new things like Bitcoin ATM and other developments?).

Lol why is this thread turning into another Flying Spaghetti Monster analogy?

Blasphemer! Don't use our lord's name in vain.

I repent.  The holiness of pastafarianism is great and I bow down before the great bob parsley.

There is nothing strange in that theory. US gov agency experimenting with new fiat currency, looking for possible opportunities of switching from one thin air currency to another ? Why not, that is perfectly fits in the picture.

Doubt it.  Terrorist organizations can hack too.  Why give the opportunity for them to also profit massively?  A $100,000,000 economy won't do shit for the CIA or a terrorist group, but a $1,000,000,000,000 economy will if this thing explodes,  giving more power to both the CIA and terrorist groups.
How much hashing power do you think terrorist have compared to the United States government?

I don't know, but I do know that both can pump out more than 15 T/Hash

The most efficient and 'green' means of exchange is straight bartering.  You don't get any more efficient than that.  And like I said, kiss global commerce goodbye.  This is a give and take problem allowing caveats for algae farms in the shorter term, and nuclear fusion in the longer term.

how far do you plan to launch that your blockchain? As TCP packets will have to travel like ~10 minutes to reach the Mars orbit, the confirmation rates would suffer ...

Wait isn't that why Satoshi made it 10 minutes in the first place? I always suspected him to be a Martian!

Well, given alien influence is more plausible than Darwinian evolution as being responsible for humans, who knows.

I don't think the CIA would give the world population the opportunity to completely screw the whole thing up if that were the case.

To me, the most obvious incentive for the creation of Bitcoin was the potential for massive and immediate profit for its creator.

Whether or not there was something more virtuous or some alternative motive independent of that profit is unknown to me.  But I do know that if I had the programming skills to make my own currency, and create it in such a way that I would be the #1 beneficiary, you better believe I'd do it.

By the way, it's a serious proposal, and considering I would have to meet with the person, it seems far less risky for the buyer than a mining contract.

Landlords know the easy (and just as legal as your "boss" contract) thing to do when power use spikes in a rental is call the police and say you think they are growing dope...

Haha let him.  I have nothing to hide.

I'm not trying to argue that this wouldn't be a favorable endeavor for anyone. I think it's a great idea.

I would just hate for these to cause a flood of users and drain the ATM's account similar to how the bitcoin faucet ended up.

Huh

If you're talking about a flood of users withdrawing cash from it to the point of total depletion on a daily basis (unlikely to happen), that is a direct mark of success to the owner and a sign to put MORE cash into it the next day. Hardly a negative sign.

If you're talking about the internal Bitcoin wallet being depleted, as another user has mentioned, the owner could just send in some Bitcoins automatically if that ever happened.

Don't worry.  Smiley

You seem to be completely disregarding the fact that the owner of the ATM's would have to *purchase* the bitcoins himself. He, unlike traditional ATM's, does not have unlimited funds to throw around.

He has enough funds to buy 250 ATMs

I realize this is on the FAQ, but when whining about power used to run the bitcoin network have you considered the power used to run banks?  The gasoline used by bank tellers to commute every day?  The amount of industrial waste generated when producing armored cars, credit cards, deposit slips and even uniforms and guns for police acting as a deterrent to bank robbery?

Bitcoins are by far the most eco-friendly currency at the moment.  The amount of resources to support the entire bitcoin network is could very well be less than the total carbon footprint of a *SINGLE* bank branch office let alone something like the Citibank headquarters.

If your argument boils down to being green then you'd be a completely "unethical" hypocrite if you didn't convert all your conventional currency into bitcoin this instant.

Nice point.

Maybe you could just license + buy one and set it up outside your front door then? Wink

I'm more concerned about:
User interface
and
Physical security

If someone rips open a bitcoin ATM, they cannot jsut steal the money inside, they can also rob the bank (as the ATM will either have a bitcoind node running or at least some credencials to a remote node).

Bitcoin ATMs need built-in guns if people get too touchy-feely.  And a face of Samuel L. Jackon yellin "Nuh Uhhhhh Mothafucka"
