Thanks for the bump. This might tie into a side project I'm already working on, and I would never have seen it otherwise.

GRrrrrrrr.

I'm working hard on this, and the payment gets cut by 97.5% just before I publish?
That is extremely frustrating!
Rats.

200BTC is worth the same in BTC as it was back then.  I think changing the bounty is quite unfair.

I agree. If the bounty was originally 200 BTC, then surely that meant the OP had 200 BTC physically available, no? (Already earned or bought at a low price?)

Perhaps people should pledge "X USD worth of Bitcoins" if they want the pledge to reflect USD value for example.

Is the original request of a simple shortener for addresses still worth 5 BTC?

I'm really sorry... I would have put a catch all phrase in earlier, however I had forgotten about it.

However 200 BTC is like 10x the market price for such a site.

If I wanted to get it done I could 'pay' almost any of the web-developers for hire 20 BTC and get it done... and own the result.

I don't' think anyone can claim that I don't put lots of money into community projects.
However I just cannot afford the opportunity cost of paying out this pledge. (the full 200 BTC)

Don't worry, I wouldn't pay out 200 BTC for this pledge either. My main point is that people should either:

a) Think solely in terms of BTC without regard for the exchange rates,
OR
b) Include provisions for exchange rates in any pledges, or at least attach a deadline.

Lesson learnt I'm sure I've learnt from it anyway; Will think about this next time I put up a bounty or post in the market section.

Is this helpful in any way: http://radicalmojo.appspot.com/3 ?

You put your address in the first box, and get the minimum unique address (depending on the addresses already in the database). Alternatively, you put some initial letters in the second box, and the system outputs the whole address.

Nice...   I'll send you the payment... I really feel bad about not updating this post earlier.

I'm a little late and I didn't know about the bounty, but check out http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=11838.0 for a much simpler version of this.
