Open Wallet Experiment

[BBHLabs]

Hello all

We're a small R&D unit working for a bigger creative agency. We've launched a little bitcoin experiment to a) help us learn about bitcoin (steep learning curve so far!) and b) to see if the anonymous nature of transactions encourages selfish behaviour or whether the bitcoin community can prove itself as wholesome as a troop of boy scouts. Basically we're making public both the wallet address and the key, allowing people to give and take from the wallet as they see fit. At the end of the experiment, we'll give anything left in the wallet to the Disaster Emergency Committee.
I know it sounds *unwise* and we might end up with egg on our faces - very keen to read your thoughts and views. We have thick-ish skins.
If you want to find out more, there's some information here http://thinky.do/open-wallet-experiment/
The wallet address for donations is 19xnfvdAHitNErAGEhVnfkeBSTL8VVv8yV
The key for withdrawals is 2G6uK7QwKRPntaS7drFSUVsUf24ZVmEaK8gET2K2Uj4w

Thanks for reading.

This is a bad idea.

It is kinda like the "give-a-penny, take-a-penny" trays in gas stations and such.

There is a reason why there is never a considerable amount of money in said trays.

It only takes one a**hole to ruin it all.
Even if 99.9% of all bitcoiners were selfless givers (which is most certainly not the case), one would take the sum and show everybody else the middle finger.

Well that wallet will never have funds in it now, someone probably already has a sweep setup on it.

Time between deposits and withdraws:

1. 112 min.
2. 64 min.
3. 3 min.
4. 4 min.

Conclusion: Humans are greedy

4 people deposited?

For all we know, only one person took the coins?

So, that would seem to indicate that only 20% of humans are greedy (1 out of 5)
