My first attempt at a site with direct transaction handling (without using MyBitcoin.com or similar). A simple doubler for 1 btc, pays out 2 btc to the next person in line: http://sldoubler.comRefer people to the site and earn 0.20 btc for every entry they pay for. Please leave feedback for me as I also did this as an academic excercise. Thanks Edit: I just deleted my 2 test entries from the top, so real members that aren't me will start getting paid. The Active entries counter relies on confirmations, so those of you (THANKS BY THE WAY) that have paid for entries, they are still on 0 conf at the moment.

How does this work exactly?

Each person pays 1 btc to go on a list. Every time 3 entries are received, it causes a 'cycle' which means the next person on the list gets 2 btc sent to them. For each 3 btc in, it pays out 2.6 btc. So the site keeps 0.13333333 per entry received. Edit: I should point out that even if it takes you forever to reach the top of the list, you can still get paid 0.2 for all your referrals' entries.

If someone pays for an entry using your referral link, you'll get 0.2 btc as soon as the entry has 1 confirmation.

How many blocks are required for confirmation (in the line)? When will the payout be processed? Is the 14 your lucky number? Then use this link to sign up: http://sldoubler.com/?id=14 (lol)

Just 1 block. + plus some time for a cron to run. It's currently set to run every 5 minutes while the site is new.

Do these types of 'make money without doing anything productive' schemes bother anybody else, or am I just a financial prude who doesn't recognize harmless fun when I see it?
I feel like we might soon need a Frequently Seen Schemes to go along with our FAQ, just to let people know that using a different currency doesn't suspend the laws of economics.

How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?

I don't participate in things like this, precisely because it bothers me. It feels too much like ripping someone off, or getting ripped off, and not knowing which going into the transaction.

Yup, and those at the top get the mostest, while those at the bottom get the leastest (if anything). Just another Ponzi scheme. I have no problem with someone messing about with Bitcoin to enable direct payment. And this is one thing that doesn't actually require selling anything. But, it should be clear that is in fact a Ponzi scheme and that those at the bottom will receive nothing. (Personally, I'd prefer to see more Bitcoin laundries, clean those bitcoins!)

For me it feels like letting people use their own free will to participate in a game, or not participate.

I agree. I think most people are smart enough to view this as a form of gambling. As long as you're upfront with how the system works (and you are in the FAQ), I don't see the problem.
