Great work! Very impressive.

If you really want to have a "hook," you could have some sort of live feed on every page that displays raffle results of my purchased tickets. That kind of instant gratification would help the site's popularity down the road. I imagine that raffles will go very quickly when the site has more traffic (and I'm pretty confident it will have a LOT more if you can keep up with it).

some more ideas: The raffle page could possibly be improved by: -Your current balance in a bold or big font at the top -a "buy ticket" button beside each raffle -perhaps with a confirmation window -perhaps it could be a buy - tickets with 1 as the default
-your hypothetical balance at the top would update immediately after each purchase -perhaps the color of the bar would change to something other than blue for raffles that you have already purchased -each raffle bar on the raffle page could include data about how many I have purchased, etc. -Leave the pending raffles at the top of the raffle list, with a full bar of a different color and the user stats p.s. don't take these suggestions as being nit-picky, I think you're site is great as-is. But since it's beta and all, I thought you'd appreciate it. I think the little things go a long way.

and another:
When creating a game, I can't see my current balance. I went a bought a bunch of tickets with the intention of creating a new game with my remaining balance, but I had to leave the page to see my current balance.

One suggestion: when registering, it might be better to ask the user to confirm his password.
Oh, I use Twitter-inspired design and have read that password without confirmation is more convenient for the most users. BTW, it is easy to reset a password if you have mistyped it. Well, it was definitely more convenient for me. Also, I use lastpass so it's not an issue. Another possible improvement: When you click the deposit button, you have to click another button to generate an address. I think it might be appropriate to have one already generated, and then have the user click a button for a new deposit address. Also, the deposit page could be improved with a table of deposit addresses that includes their respective expiration dates/statuses.

Bought one and installed it, works great--I don't mine, but this card yields ~60 FPS on Crysis at max settings and 8x AA. I couldn't be more pleased with the condition of this card. No dust, all original packing, etc. Judging by the fact that he even left the original shrink wrap intact on the box when he first opened it, I would guess that Cablez takes great care of his equipment. If you're in the market for a graphics card and you're worried about the post-halving hardware potluck that is currently unfolding, I'd definitely recommend these. Thanks again!

I like to think , that the future of DNS-like systems is "Content Addressing" . Something like distributed Google, embedded into the system (Doogle ?), but not backed by some corporation. ------- So the answer is probably : Namecoin will be irrelevant here. And in the Usual Internet -- too.
Brings Diaspora to mind. I also hear lots of talk about mesh networks, but there's not enough incentive for that to happen any time soon.

The program just stopped working for me, no matter what I did. I gave up. The firewall thing is annoying too.

hmm, where do I go to write the loops? This is my first application of programming outside school.

Not only are Joel Katz's opinions are well articulated, they are also subject to change. To me, that is the defining trait of a wise and learned man.

Isn't the algorithm more or less irrelevant beyond the initial bootstrapping, since asics can ultimately be developed for any application? Of course, the apparent difficulty of producing such hardware, even amidst considerable financial incentive, is noteworthy.

I proposed this in the past and there was an overwhelming consensus that there is no demand for it.
I learned that the 21 million limit is a HIGHLY VALUED feature and that Bitcoin without it is far less appealing. I gave up. Good luck with this.
"Inflatacoin?" I still like the idea

Cool idea. Definitely following this one.

I can't wait to see what it looks like. I'm not a gambler (satoshidice and sealswithclubs taught me well), but I may have to give this a few spins.
