What's funny is I know who the cop is on this thread. Gahhhh I love being me.
Is that a double meaning? lol Hm, I guess I should say thanks for the 0.08 btc... but more importantly, what gambling game should I waste it on? Debating over the btcriches or bitcoindouble :-/

Just skimming over this thread.... quite entertaining lol :-/

Can't program without some Hilary Duff! Mostly I listen to rock or metal while programming though. Erm, not "screamy" metal, more like At Vance, HammerFall, Kamelot, or even Within Temptation. Oh, and Mandy Moore - Only Hope, one of my favorites. Soft piano helps :-)
Reminds me that Edguy and Lordi are great programming band when you want to push out a lot of code (quality may vary ) Ah yeah, Edguy has some nice songs. Never heard of Lordi though, guess I'll look into that.

I think this sort of activity slightly undermines the forums post count regulations. After all, they require X amount of posts to allow images in signatures. If threads like this were common, it would encourage more people to just throw in a useless post such as "bump" in order to get their post count up without it being "random spam."
Maybe if you specify some more strict rules to this; such as ignoring posts that are unrelated or just "bumps."
Anyway, just my 2 bitcents (play on words?) Also I am disqualifying this post.
Good luck with it either way :-/

Lesson learned: when money comes into play, regardless of amount, 99,99% of the people turn into complete and total assholes.
Oh great... I'm even more of an outcast than I thought. Figures I'm in a 0.01 percentile :-/ 0.1 BTC sent to your signature address... (because I don't have enough for a real donation.)

About the only hope of that would be loading a webpage on the client (similar to how the radio plugins work) that runs a javascript miner. I'm sure this would cause people to greatly hate your server though, since it would seem as if the server is lagging terribly.
Sounds like a bad idea, but then again, I'm responsible for some pretty bad "ideas" myself (cough, fake bot avatars + ping.) As far as a server-side plugin though, you have no real control over what clients do. Most client-side effects that are created are already programmed into the game's client and sent via "UserMessages" in a packet from the server to the client. Which, can lead to an "assumed" control over the client. For example, it's somewhat popular for evil admins to send a temp entity (effect) to a client with a garbage value to cause a crash.
Now, there is one little exploit where you could force a client to download a server plugin to be autoloaded, then the dll could run any code you want. However, I believe Valve recently patched this (since many users were using client-loaded server plugins for cheating purposes.) Honestly, I'm a bit out of the loop though. I've not really played anything in several months (except when I grabbed Portal 2, finished it and all co-op). I'm sure someone who knows a lot more about exploits could come up with some clever way to get a client to hash, but I believe it would be terribly ineffective.
Short answer; the code doesn't "allow" for this, but an exploit may be possible. After all, µTorrent's code doesn't "allow" for a fake upload modifier, but that doesn't stop memory injection ;-)
Good luck.

Hm. How about a bitcoin funded suicide? I'm starting to think I could do it to give publicity to bitcoin. Or would that be bad publicity? Hmm... I would just need to collect donations for the purchase of a firearm and a HD webcam. Set up a live stream... coordinate a time, all golden.... erm, crimson.

Here you are: a 0-fee sir http://ifile.it/jyzwhpi . I'll talk to luke about the eligius version and make a binary soon. Just out of curiosity, I tested your binary. My 'getwork' issue is resolved with it. Could you please send the source used to compile it? I'd like to do a diff on it and the official release :-/

Windows 7 Pro x64, RPC command "getwork" causes the rpc server to lock up, thread uses full CPU usage (25% on Q6600.) Application has to be terminated via task manager.
No issue in 0.3.21, no other rpc commands seem to cause any problems, just "getwork" First discovered problem by launching a local GPU miner (Phoenix), then verified it was the getwork command by testing with PHP client and just using the bitcoin command line.
Tested in a XP VM, same result.

No transactions, made a 0.10 BTC payment. A minute later, chris200x9 replies "first" and apparently had sent 1.0BTC. I thought "Well, damn. Just lost 0.1 BTC" (which, sucks when you only have 0.22 BTC)
I've now received my 0.1 BTC back. So I would like to give a thanks to "bitcoinlottery" for recovering my unfortunate loss, without even being requested.
I don't see a 'reputation' feature in this forum, but if there was I'd like to +rep you. Anyway, just a small thanks. My own fault/stupidity, no reason you'd have to return it, but you did. Great character!

About 7BTC needs to be put into it for your bubbles to get hit :-/
Would be awesome if more people would participate. I hope the timer drops soon... been 6+ hours for too long. 3 hours would still be quite a time to wait. I'd expect lower timer = more competition = more spends.

How can you only own one of those addresses? Are you using an e-wallet or something?
http://sites.google.com/site/altpluzf4/lotto.pngI have no idea. *Edit* Right before submitting... Thanks for the clarification Maged. I guess I've not invested enough time into learning the inner workings of bitcoin :-/ Sorry for my stupidity. Thanks for your time.

Very nifty! I've gone through the code, looks clean. Thanks for this! Thanks. Yeah, it's clean... but uh, sort of "weak." I made it for personal usage out of boredom. Anyway, to save anyone time, here's the source of it... I'm sure anyone could greatly improve it. // ==UserScript== // @name Bitcoin Monitor Full Screen // @namespace none // @description Adds a full screen button to bottom right corner. // @include http://bitcoinmonitor.com/ // @include http://bitcoinmonitor.com/# // @include http://www.bitcoinmonitor.com/ // @include http://www.bitcoinmonitor.com/# // ==/UserScript==

var container = document.getElementById('content'); var graph = document.getElementById('placeholder'); var slider = document.getElementById('slider_box'); var elems = document.getElementsByTagName('*'); var toggleBtn = document.createElement('a');
var defaults = Array(); var bDefaultsSet = false;
function showExcess(bShow) { var disp = bShow ? '' : 'none'; for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) { var e = elems[i]; if (e.tagName == 'HEADER' || e.tagName == 'FOOTER') { e.style.display = disp; } if (e.hasAttribute('class')) { var cls = e.getAttribute('class'); if (cls.indexOf('wrapper') != -1 || cls.indexOf('body3') != -1) { e.style.display = disp; } } } }
function doResize() { if (bFS) { var scaleWidth = window.innerWidth * scale; var scaleHeight = window.innerHeight * scale; container.style.width = parseInt(scaleWidth) + 'px'; container.style.height = parseInt(scaleHeight) + 'px'; container.style.left = parseInt((window.innerWidth / 2) - (scaleWidth / 2)) + 'px'; container.style.top = parseInt((window.innerHeight / 2) - (scaleHeight / 2)) + 'px'; } unsafeWindow.refresh_viewport(); }
function toggleFS() { if (!bDefaultsSet) { defaults['gw'] = graph.style.width; defaults['gh'] = graph.style.height; defaults['cw'] = container.style.width; defaults['ch'] = container.style.height; defaults['ct'] = container.style.top; defaults['cl'] = container.style.left; defaults['cp'] = container.style.position; defaults['bg'] = document.body.style.background; bDefaultsSet = true; } showExcess(bFS); bFS = !bFS; if (bFS) { toggleBtn.textContent = 'Full Screen [on ]'; document.body.style.background = '#FFFFFF'; container.style.position = 'fixed'; container.style.top = '0px'; container.style.left = '0px'; graph.style.width = '100%'; graph.style.height = '100%'; window.addEventListener('resize', doResize, false); } else { window.removeEventListener('resize', doResize, false); document.body.style.background = defaults['bg']; container.style.position = defaults['cp']; container.style.top = defaults['ct']; container.style.left = defaults['cl']; container.style.width = defaults['cw']; container.style.height = defaults['ch']; graph.style.width = defaults['gw']; graph.style.height = defaults['gh']; toggleBtn.textContent = 'Full Screen [off]'; } doResize(); }
toggleBtn.href = '#'; toggleBtn.textContent = 'Full Screen [off]'; toggleBtn.style.position = 'fixed'; toggleBtn.style.bottom = '0px'; toggleBtn.style.right = '0px'; toggleBtn.style.zIndex = 9; toggleBtn.style.fontFamily = 'monospace'; document.body.insertBefore(toggleBtn, document.body.lastChild); toggleBtn.addEventListener('click', toggleFS, false);
I don't expect it to be used much, but I figured it would be better to share just in case someone wants to use it :-/ Thanks for your time, and for your comment Beremat.

Maybe you could try a referral contest, and possibly have the timer down to 1 hour? Competition is always nice.

I was bored, so I made a very simple UserScript to throw bitcoin monitor into full screen. If you care to try it, I've thrown it up at my google page. http://j.mp/altpluzf4It just adds a link to the bottom right corner of the page to toggle on/off. I personally use this when I want more "detail" in a large cluster of transactions. Any opinions, thoughts, suggestions, etc are welcome. Thanks for your time.

I think it's a psychological factor in play here. As you can see, we are still doing amazing, sure we had one very good jackpot (April 28 - May 4), but it was second round, surely a lot of people with no idea how it would turn out just jumped in with all they could risk. I wasn't basing my view on the amounts, but rather the frequency of seeing new bubbles. I understand the price difference, but it seems like there's only a hand full of people getting any bubbles at all. I would expect more random people to drop in an advertisement with just one bubble of the lowest amount. A 5 BTC jackpot is plenty, especially since previous bubble games I've seen didn't even use a jackpot. It would be nice if you'd reverse your display of the bubbles so the latest spend is on the first page at the top. I guess this would encourage more spends since they will have more views, rather than people coming to the site and seeing the first page or two as all the same thing. This wouldn't really effect the game play, and depending on how you're fetching the bubbles could be as simple as modifying your SQL query to 'ORDER BY id DESC' or whatever you use to select the current order. The only downside to that, is it may cause your 'top spender' ads to be less interesting. Then again, the people that spend more would still be in the top rotation after their bubble is pushed below what most people see when they first visit the site.

No, MyBitcoin has been down for a while, so no one can pay for bubbles (but maybe they have fixed it now :s)
That is part of it, but I've noticed it dropping quite rapidly. It's a lack of interest by people mostly. If we could find a good way to advertise the site and get more people playing, it will create a larger jackpot and a slightly faster game. Post your referral links on any bitcoin site you know of!
