Fair enough 

Screen shot attached.

Yes, all the source code is available, anyone can compile the client or modify it, fork it, etc.

Just as the subject says.

I have a $33.11 USD e-bay certificate that I can use for any item on e-bay. So instead of spending it on myself, I want someone to spend it with BTC.  

How to do this?

Go to ebay.com, pick out something within that price range, send me the BTC equivalent as defined by current market price (check https://www.bitcoinmarket.com/ ) for USD to BTC and I'll have the item shipped directly to you. For good faith, I'll only ask for half of the BTC amount and once you get the item, you can pay the other half.

I only have one certificate, so first come, first serve.

Feel free to message me with any questions.

*jackpot and picked numbers updated*

Thanks, I'll add those to the list here shortly. Seems the network provider is having issues, as it's really slow to connect to the server(s) right now for me.

[edit] Updated jackpot and picked numbers.

Yes, actually I was thinking that also. Since most can only get 0.05 from the faucet website, I thought about making a 5 BTC prize lotto, where 0.01 is the entry fee for the ticket. The problem is, I don't know if I could handle the amount of entries since someone could easily chuck in 100 entries for only 1 BTC. Would probably take some website automation for that.

If that is the same person, then he's been using the same username for a long time, which will make it very easy to track him down.

Yeah, but the server it's connected to is suppose to. I think you are saying that the attacker controls both his own nodes, network, super-computers, and the server that the client is connected to. If the attacker has control over all that, then the attacker might as well have control of the computer that is running the client for the simplified payment verification.

The only catch to that is even if he has a bunch of fake computers to confirm his fake transaction, it won't fit the transaction block properly because it uses previous transaction to build off of. So the other clients would have a problem of the "known" transaction blocks and the "new ones" which don't fit properly.

I don't think they would accept it, but any devs willing to comment are certainly welcome.

Yeah, I'll start double-up (like 213 - 213 side by side) the ones that have multiple people picking it. That's one thing I didn't like about our own state lotto pick 3, lots of people would play (it was a $500 prize only) but you had no idea what numbers every else picked, so you often had multiple winners splitting the prize and each not getting very much when they won, LOL.

It's cool, I've updated topic as well with the new jackpot balance and the picked numbers.

In case anyone was curious, two people can pick the same number, but if that number wins, both people have to split the winnings.

*Updated number picks and jackpot amount at the top*

Send to IP: 64.186.154.76

Be sure to include the numbers picked and the address to send the winnings to it you win. The direct IP allows you to use the "from" and "message" fields.

Thanks for playing and the best of luck to you!

Made some further price adjustments on what's left (since the BTC keeps going up in value) and marked out the others that have been sold.

Why not use the already existing metric system,

1 = bitcoin
10 = decabits

or

0.1 = decibits
0.01 = centibits
0.001 = millibits

or

Spell bitcoin with some strange/different spelling that people can visually know means the bitcoin currency so they don't confuse it with computer bits

bitsc (decibitsc, kilobitsc, etc.)

or

bitc (decibitc or kilobitc, etc.)

The server generated another 50 BTC (what luck for you all  ) Updated jackpot.

Updated the topic subject with the new jackpot balance.

*sends 1 BTC so he can go play the Pick 3 lotto* Here -> http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=468.0
 

Lottos are fun, especially if it doesn't cost much to play.

I'm going to duplicate my states pick three lotto. It's easy and straight forward, plus I'll use the results from the actual state lotto for fairness. On top of that, I'm going to throw my own BTC into it to get people's interest. I'm not going to take a percentage of any winnings, so winner takes all (including all mine if you win).

Rules:

• Cost to Enter: 1 BTC
• What do you pick? Any number between 000 and 999; 000 counts as a number, so does 009, 099, etc
• You can enter as many times as you like for 1 BTC each, so you can pick multiple numbers
• The maximum (but not minimum) jackpot will always be 500 BTC, the reason for this; it prevents someone from just buying all the numbers for a guaranteed win. So you make it not feasible to try and game the system.
• Any extra BTC left over after a winner is put into the next jackpot. So if 600 BTC sits in the "bank" (server in this case) and someone wins pick 3, they get 500 BTC and the remaining 100 BTC starts the next pick 3 winner jackpot
• If no one wins, the jackpot will be used to start another new pick 3 and another date (probably just a few days into the future) will be used to pick the next winning number.
  
• There can be multiple winners, so then the winnings are split up (this also further helps to prevent someone from buying every possible number for a guaranteed win)
  
• Your 1 BTC and pick number are sent directly to a static IP address: 64.186.155.104 -- This is an 8-core server generating BTC (around 6000 khash/s) every day 24/7/365. Anything it generates on it's own (50 BTC) will also be added to the jackpot for the winner. I've reset it's balance to 0, so it's basically now going to be the jackpot holding machine. Please include either your BTC address or IP Address (if you have a static) along with the number you picked, otherwise I won't know where to send the winner the BTC
• Winning numbers (evening drawing) will be taken from my states official website here so you can check for yourself: http://www.tnlottery.com/
  If you can pick up the local broadcast stations here, you can see the drawing live on TV as well.
  
• When the lotto jackpot runs out of the money, no more lotto. So if we have a bunch of winners in a row, I'll have to decide if I want to chuck my BTC into the jackpot to start it again if it's unable to maintain itself from too many lucky winners (or people with time machines)
• No last minute submissions. Our timezone here is (-6:00 CST). No more submissions will be accepted *after* noon (12:00PM -6:00 CST) on the day of the drawing. If you send a coin to the server after that time, I'll return it. If you send a coin with no return address or way to know *who* sent it, it just goes into the winning pot for the next drawing.
  

Questions are welcome, I'll be glad to answer them here.

I've just transfered 100 BTC to get it started.

Winner will be whoever got the lucky pick 3 match with the evening state drawing on 7/21/2010 (This Wednesday)

Good luck to you all !! (kisses his 100 BTC goodbye to the winner   )

I'll make another after post up a list of all the numbers that were *picked* by those that entered for further verification (just the numbers, not who for privacy reasons)

Ok, I was certain that you couldn't transfer BTC around in a circle to pick up fees that were more than the cycle of transition (basically BTC coming out of thin air rather than being generated)

So if this guy was intercepting greater than 25,000BTC currency being traded around, it must be from someone else and even then, you can only transfer it around so many times before you run out.

I think that further cements that this Nenolod guy is just blowing smoke.
