The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Defies gravity and just keeps flipping, provided you speed it up properly. |

Which side do you think it is? OK, you got me! I'll admit I have no idea which side heads is. Doesn't it depend on the current difficulty? Or network hashrate? Or something? |

I suppose the analogy could be extended to such things, or even trading price. But then we would be speculating and that is yet another coin toss. |

Wait a minute.
Would coin tossing with a bitcoin transaction actually be possible?
Couldn't you use any random data generated by a transaction to determine either state '1' or '0'? One that's publicly visible and unpredictable of course.

Maybe. I don't see how you'd get the data to stay on the kip and the flip effectively. It would totally suck for two-up. I'm sticking with the old pennies. |

Couldn't you use that to determine 1/0? in order to calculate the ID hash of the Tx that is used in the Merkle Tree, one needs to SHA hash the whole Tx message as defined in the Protocol Specification wiki page twice. So, it is not "random" per se. Since the creator of the transaction has some choice of what inputs to use and complete control of what outputs to use, they could keep trying different combinations until they got a txid meeting certain criteria (such as being even or odd, for a coin flip.) Edit: yes, more involved criteria for the txid are harder to find (it takes more tries), but even/odd is easy. |

^if that were the case then using the same inputs and outputs with the same send amounts twice would also generate the same txid twice. but that can't be.
what makes a txid unique?

The fact that you can't use the same input(s) twice -- that's what a double spend is. An input comes from someone else paying you (or coins being generated), and can only be spent once, spending the whole value at that time. If you don't want to actually spend the whole value to other people, you can send the change back to yourself at a "change address." (Clients do it automatically.) That change address can then be used as the input for another transaction. |

scintill,
blockchain.info offers a "Time received" for each transaction. Any chance it gets that info from the blockchain? (But it doesn't seem like it does to me)
