What are the fees?  And who does the judging?

So how do all these ponzi games and lotteries work?  They send bitcoin back to the depositor.

There's no way to get that return address with the API?

I understand that refunds won't get back to the sender when sent from an online wallet, but when sent from the client isn't there a "from" address?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how can I use the JSON-RPC to get a transaction's "return address"?  If I need to refund bitcoin, how can I get that address?

Many thanks!

I started matching new deposits back on July 12, and said I'd do it for a week.  That week is long past, and I'm leaving for vacation so won't be able to keep up with this.

So for the next 24 hours I'll match up to 1.0 BTC in new deposits to keep the game alive.  After this time, I won't be able to match anymore.

Jordoss will be back on August 1, so the spreadsheet won't be updated until then.  Use Block Explorer instead.

Let's help each other out!

I matched your 0.15 with my own 0.15.

Here's yet another communiqué from the resistance.  It's clear to me that money and payments are one of the primary battlegrounds in this struggle.

Quote
What the FBI needs to learn is that there is a vast difference between adding one's voice to a chorus and digital sit-in with Low Orbit Ion Cannon, and controlling a large botnet of infected computers. And yet both of these are punishable with exactly the same fine and sentence.
 
In addition to this horrific law enforcement incompetence, PayPal continues to withhold funds from WikiLeaks, a beacon of truth in these dark times. By simply standing up for ourselves and uniting the people, PayPal still sees it fit to wash its hands of any blame, and instead encourages and assists law enforcement to hunt down participants in the AntiSec movement.
 
Quite simply, we, the people, are disgusted with these injustices. We will not sit down and let ourselves be trampled upon by any corporation or government. We are not scared of you, and that is something for you to be scared of. We are not the terrorists here: you are.

We encourage anyone using PayPal to immediately close their accounts and consider an alternative. The first step to being truly free is not putting one's trust into a company that freezes accounts when it feels like, or when it is pressured by the U.S. government. PayPal's willingness to fold to legislation should be proof enough that they don't deserve the customers they get. They do not deserve your business, and they do not deserve your respect.

I just matched the 0.05.

There was also another deposit for 0.10, so I matched that too.

This must be Manifesto Week.  The Norwegian right-wing fanatic posted a 1400-page treatise before bombing downtown Oslo and shooting 85 young people.  At least he didn't mention bitcoin.

So I'll amend my original post.  I still think it would take a pretty major event to trigger a rapid militarization of the internet and crackdown on bitcoin.  But it probably doesn't need to be on the scale of Pearl Harbor.

If this disturbed Norwegian had used bitcoin to fund the massacre, you can be sure the crackdown would be sure and swift.

So the consensus here is that the civil disobedience of Lulzsec et al will be used as a pretext to militarize the internet.  Government and corporate elites have wanted to do this all along, and this is a convenient excuse that the proles will support.

This would be bad news for bitcoin, because a militarized internet would filter unapproved traffic.

Do you really think we're at that point?  Do governments and corporations really have that much power?

Seems to me we'd need a much bigger and more urgent pretext than Lulzsec and Wikileaks.  We'd need something on the scale of Pearl Harbor to justify an internet police state.

OK, I just sent 0.60 to match somebody's deposit from yesterday.

I'm matching up to 1.00 btc per day to keep this game going.
13  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Doubling on: July 23, 2011, 07:34:37 PM
Thanks shakaru, I didn't notice that.

I'll match the 0.60 later today when I have access to my wallet.

Today Lulzsec wrote a public letter to the US FBI.  It's a manifesto, a declaration of independence.

http://pastebin.com/RA15ix7S

Later, Greg Maxwell released a 33 GB torrent of public-domain scientific papers, along with his own declaration of independence:

http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6554331/Papers_from_Philosophical_Transactions_of_the_Royal_Society__fro

Lulzsec is anonymous and Greg Maxwell is not, but both are accepting bitcoin donations, the currency of independence.

Is this good or bad for the bitcoin experiment?  Will you support them?
15  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Doubling on: July 19, 2011, 04:48:27 PM
Another 0.40 came in last night and I matched it with 0.40.
16  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Doubling on: July 18, 2011, 01:48:08 PM
Yes, I'm matching new deposits this week to get the game moving again.

I see two new deposits for 0.30 and 0.06, and I matched them.
17  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Doubling on: July 17, 2011, 07:23:03 PM
Here comes another 0.50 deposit, and I matched it with 0.50.
18  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Doubling on: July 17, 2011, 03:53:47 PM
New deposits of 0.08 and 0.50, I just matched both of them.
19  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Doubling on: July 17, 2011, 03:11:22 AM
The deposits are rolling in.  Someone deposited 1.20 BTC an hour ago, and I just matched it.
20  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Doubling on: July 16, 2011, 05:53:22 PM
Awesome ... someone deposited 1.0 BTC yesterday.  I just matched it with another 1.0 BTC.

This game doesn't stop until there are no deposits for 7 days.  Let's keep it going and help each other out!

I'm matching up to 1.0 BTC per day.
