Great! Now all you need is someone to yank it off the wall and take off with the euros and discard the wallets LOL.

What about the OVERFUNDED ones?

Overfunded counts are now included on the charts page. Please note that this includes Active and Opened Casascius Bitcoins as well as the occasional oddball Unused Casascius Bitcoin.

Thanks for the question suggestion.

I have been using a 1btc coin for cold store. Not a lot. Handfull of btc but still. Smiley

No, no, no. It should be Satoshi Nakamoto.

FYI the font used for Bitcoin is Ubuntu Bold Italic.

Deeds and Titles are typically government issued.  For lack of a better word, we can call it a "Bitcoin Account".  I've added some different graphics for the elliptic curve crypto and a better background.

Also, since when you import the private key you basically transfer all of the bitcoins in the account, I changed it from "SPEND" to "SPEND ALL".



I agree about Account. An account can have one or more key pairs. A wallet can have one or more Accounts.


I LIKE IT!

refresh this page one more time, they now say "Bitcoin Note" and "Bitcoin Bearer Bond"

A financial note is defined as a debt instrument, with maturity from one year to ten.    A banknote is a promissory note though they are no longer private instruments redeemable for precious metal but instead are national banknotes and thus fiat currency.

Is it safe to say the term note would be misused here?

Or does it even matter though?  It doesn't say banknote, it just says note.

And thus a bitcoin note can have the definition that it contains a private key that can be used for spending?

(full disclosure: I registered bitcoinnote.com, bitcoinnotes.com, btcnote.com, and btcnotes.com ... in anticipation that there would be the need for a paper bitcoin that would allow an inexpensive method for a trusted party to transfer bitcoins offline.)

Voucher or Token or something that needs no other backing. Something like what you would call Gold, Silver, etc...

Good points.  Notes are paper representation of a debt instrument.  What would you a call a paper representation of an asset?


A deed or title I suppose...

Coupon?

Great idea Casascius, and thanks for sending me the coins really fast, they're awesome  Smiley


How about having a small contest on the banknote design? I pledge 500mBtc

http://www.rugatu.com/questions/1833/how-would-you-like-to-design-a-bitcoin-banknote

Where did this mBtc and other stuff come from? I thought there where Satoshis and Bitcoins.

Those are smaller bitcoin units http://www.rugatu.com/questions/1467/what-are-the-bitcoin-units

500mBTC would be BTC0.50. Hope it helps

That does. We should be making things EASIER to understand bitcoin, not making them HARDER Smiley

being a programmer i am dealing with the Satoshi unit

So an estamp. Nice. Microsoft has been tossing this idea around for a while. Reason it hasn't seen the day of light should say something.

Tried it a few times last night. Even picked the higher numbers. Lost every time.

What is the pick range of the magic number?

It's 0 through 65535 inclusive.

So when you play "lessthan 48000" you should win 73.2% of the time, and when you play "lessthan 64000" you should win 97.6% of the time.

I played lessthan 48000 3 times yesterday and only won once (luckily biggest of the 3 bets was the one that won).  But the games are proveably fair - you can get the secret number they used to pick your magic number and validate that they did the maths correctly.

One guy was saying he lost over 60 "lessthan 8000" games in a row the other day, so long losing streaks are definitely possible, just very unlikely.

I don't have very good luck with lotteries. Does the same carry over into bitcoin? :-P

On an off-topic I see your new project is https://www.nameterrific.com

Care to explain why you are not accepting bitcoin for this service? Your service looked interesting enough for me to click on Pricing until I noticed the 4 same logos that I see everywhere else.

Explain?

The service has not officially launched yet. The product is ready, but the billing system is not.

I will implement Bitcoin support after credit card support. And I will use a merchant solution, most likely.

With prices so small I am looking forward to checking it out once bitcoin is adopted.

BEST OF LUCK!
