Hi,

Just created a new site; http://whatbitcointhinks.com/ - where topical issues will be posted for an x amount of time, with the winning wallet's contents going to an advocacy group or charity relating to that choice.

Currently the topic is Abortion, but more will likely be added if this goes anywhere.

The idea is that it shouldn't really cost more than a few bits to get your preferred advocacy group in the winning, though currently somebody has skewed it quite heavily in one direction.

Anyway, check it out.

Interesting project!

However posting exact names of organizations that can get donation may lead to some cheating as they can just send large amount of BTC at the very last moment to win whole pot...

Another thing, website is unreadable on iOS 6 Safari, you can't see which amount belongs to particular option...

Do you mean the organisations would do this? As the deadline gets closer I might come up with a more sophisticated way of obfuscating the exact end time, as you make a very good point. Could release a hashed representation of the time plus a random salt so that nobody knows when it will end exactly but can confirm that I didn't end it at a biased time. Maybe not knowing would annoy legit users though.. need to think about that one.

Will have a look at Safari on iOS 6. To be honest I need to do some proper mobile web optimisation anyway. The layout would be better if 'stacked' on mobile and the addresses are way too hard to highlight - will fix this soon.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, but it's more of hypothetical problem as of now, it'll be a problem only if you get really big donations and by that time you'll probably know some clever solution to it  Wink
