The Pay it Forward Project.

[Anonymous]

Lets play a game to see what happens.The rules are simple.Create an address called pay it forward and post it in the thread or on your forum profile.When you receive a donation on that address you then donate to 3 other people with a published pay it forward address.The amount you donate to each is unimportant as is the amount you receive.Its just an experiment.

The first 5 people to post pay it forward addresses in this thread will get 2 bitcoins each to start the game.


 

Here is an updated list of all the people so far!

 Copy and paste the list at http://www.random.org/lists/ to randomize it.Then pay it forward to the top 3 results!

Right! We have enough pyramids already, so I'm going down the viral path...

So every time I get one I pay 3, it's just a pitty so few have joined so far, I'm already repeating addresses.

My stats so far: received 3 times within 2 days (including initial tx from noagendamarket), paid it forward 3 time within a few hours of receiving to all 5 addresses that were around at the time (excluding my own, of course). The last transfer I made forward was on the 26th.

Today I received 5 (!) transfers from the same generous party... I wonder if that was for real of it's an experiment to see if he can get 5 forward threads going on

Values were not discussed on purpose, as they should not matter for whatever this experiment is for. Ok, it's pay back time.

  there is no master plan at work here. Its a giant game of bitcoin table tennis - or secret santa on steroids . All these micropayments keep the network ticking over !

Obviously as the game grows you could just add up any payments each day and pay that forward 3 times.I lack the copy and paste endurance to make 30 bitcoin payments  at a time.

Now if someone can come up with a bitcoin hyperlink that launches your address book with the pay to address entered automagically they would earn lots of karma points. 

[mizerydearia]

How can you tell if multiple payments came from the same source?

[nelisky]

How can you tell if multiple payments came from the same source?

I obviously can't. The reason I stated that was because the RECEIVING address was the same *slaps head*.

In my defense, your honor, that happened before my first cup of coffee, and I can't really be held liable for my actions before my first cup of coffee, can I?

[GeorgeH]

Donated to 3 people

[lfm]

Yeah its a pity you cant send a message with each payment.

If you want to send a message with the coin(s) use the ip-address payment system. For some ip-addresses to leave messages to see the other thread here.

 http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=59.0

Only those who either open their firewall/router for the bitcoin port 8333 or have no firewall can receive this way but we can all send messages to them.

If you're too lazy to look up addresses in the other thread you can try my ip address:

 75.158.131.108

if you leave a note mentioning "pay it forward" then Ill know what its for.

If you'd rather just do it the regular way here is another regular bitcoin address:

1Ai3wNTYpmojwcS9pi31h4fRQhMqKuYLY9

This address has a label so I know what its for without a note.

ok, I think I did something wrong, I've done 3 donations and than put my name to the list, lol.
I was a little bit to fast reading and to much brainwashed from all those paypall pyramid game adverts I guess.
After reading it again, I understood. You post your address and than do 3 donations after you got one lol.

For those who got the donation, your welcome lol.

How can I tell if a new transaction has come in using bitcoind?  It seems to just list the total amount of inbound transfer per address, not the individual transfers...

You probably need the listtransactions patch. Can you build? If not, what platform are you on?

Or you can make a script to parse the bitcointools output (with --wallet-tx switch).

I got 4 donations to my address, so I then donated to 12 random people on the list.  Now I'm realizing that this will blow up pretty soon.  I suppose this is your intention to stress the network as an experiment.  I'm wondering if maybe you would want to write code to automatically pay it forward when a donation is sent to the pay it forward address, since I will become hard to manually see coins once it starts to blow up...

Dude,I dont write code 

I just come up with the ideas!

I think the better idea is to wait for a period of time,say 1 day or 1 week and then combine what you received into a bigger bang for your donation buck . If someone wants to write the code to do that and contribute to the pay it forward project  it would be appreciated. I can host it for you if you do so!

[LZ]

It is quite possible to do.

[mizerydearia]

'this' as in the pay it forward project or as in bitcoin?

I suppose to give up on 'bitcoin' would be similar to giving up on other types of currencies as well, and in such cases giving them away or destroying them.
Or perhaps it's similar to giving up or quitting smoking, in which bitcoin in some way is detrimental to one's health and is necessary to prevent further association with or consumption of.

I suppose in the sense that a new currency is existent and is currently limited in use cases compared to already established currencies, many individuals who put little to no effort into developing, contributing or helping to establish its use or future potential may pursue a kind of 'giving up' on Bitcoin since it doesn't meet a kind of expectation of currency as recognized by general society and ease of use of existing dominating currencies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_currencies is a list of currencies, many in which you may notice several similarities to Bitcoin (e.g. difficult or time consuming to obtain) that could also actively be 'given up' on.  However, it is likely that those types of currencies do not garnish any interest or attention and therefore unlikely to be considered as necessary to give up.  However, additionally, it may be a currency that one has previously had none of and therefore is not in a position to 'give up' on considering lack of use.

Humm, I'm not sure what my point is.  I think I'm rambling.  I give up.  ^_^

I write to ask you to remove me from your list. I regret this decision but your ability to provide me with any helpful service or in any way improve my quality of life has been null, and as such you leave me no choice but to terminate any relationship you may assume we have promptly.

I guess Gatsu finally realized that bitcoin wasn't some magical automatic money making machine , so he "gave up".  The only posts I read of his was complaining why bitcoin was not generating money for him...I guess he never reazlied that the purpose of a currency is not to generate money but rather to trade and store wealth that you generated somehow else 

But yeah, as was mentioned earlier, if you never put any effort into something, how can you possibly "give up" on it?

bitcoin != magical money fountain

And why are some nicks with additional spaces?

[nelisky]

It finally happened, I have corrupted my wallet file beyond any hope. Good thing I only spare change there

Anyway, no more nelisky on the list, please! no reason sending the coins to nowhere at all. As soon as I make a little sense out of my 10+ bitcoin clients running with different wallets and versions I'll post a new address. And I'm running behind too, I owe you guys 6 payments already...

[LZ]

Oh, how did it happen? Strangely, it seems that this often happens...

[grondilu]

Well, at least this game is usefull since it reveals the weaknesses, if there are any, of the bitcoin software during intensive small transactions.  Maybe you should report all incidents to the dev-team ?

[LZ]

I think that nelisky is one of the dev-team.

Yeah, I'm careful with the wallets I play with, but there is a very low statistical probability that I loose 9000 coins anyway... Summing all my wallets I have ~2600

My bitcoin client is flooded with pif payments...the consequences will never be the same!

*has copy and paste rsi...

Please remove me from the list. I'll continue forwarding but it's too much hassle for too little gain (i.e. sending someone 0.01 BTC isn't going to make bitcoin grow much).

Yeah it needs to be automated to help with the rsi factor . Ill take you off the list.

New PIF address for Smartzkid! I finally moved bitcoin over to my server; I donated my current coins away and will start anew from here

Could someone explain how coins can be split up? The way I understand it, each coin has its own hash. This and the P2P nature of the system mean that imposters cannot 'make' coins. However, what's to keep someone's client from saying 'hey you, i actually own 99% of that coin'?

As I understood the system, key pairs are used to identify transactions, not bitcoins.

There is no such thing as a "coin" in the information system.  Only transactions.  The owner of some value is identified by the knowlegde of the last private key of some transaction in the last block.  The amount is the amount of the transaction.

Ohh, I see! Thank you, sir.

Hi I'll. I'm up for paying it forward.

OK, I want to play! 16AquDrvnJ49sUBeyR4Q4SmiLCvB6QGAMW

I don't have many BTC so far, but since the idea is to redistribute what one's received, I guess it should work.
I wish I could even put more bitcoins into the game so that it becomes more interesting, but I have only 2.05 so far.

Close, but not quite.  You are correct that no actual digital coins exist, and that all balances are basicly the tallies of the transactions recorded upon a massive collective ledger that we call the blockchain.  But keypairs don't identify transactions, either; they only identify addresses (which are most like account numbers in the Swiss banking system, the only form of identification that is either neccessary or possible)  It is not neccessary for each transaction to have a unique keypair, for example, even though that is a common practice.

I am accumulating the "published bitcoin address for general donations / tips" for everyone here, at http://bitcoinaddress.com   If you would please, check your name (forum handle) on this list and verify that I have the correct address for you, for that purpose...   Please send additions/updates/corrections to me via PM here.

I find the idea of your Bitcoin Phone book cool but take into account some people split up different addresses for different forums/communities.

[ribuck]

I am accumulating the "published bitcoin address for general donations / tips"

I think it's better for the tip addresses to be located at the same place as the tippable material. Otherwise they get out of date, or you get confusion between different people who use the same handle, etc. Also, having the tip address at the content is better publicity for bitcoin.

[altsa]

I wanna pay it forward! :0

Agree. Also making a new one for each bit of content lets the author know what people are liking.

This dearly needs automation....

Pay it forward is like laundering your money eh why not.

Yes.  I agree.   But my "directory" also acts as sort of a starting point.  From there you can follow the links which take you to the material. 
It's a list of content creators who support Bitcoin...  with the implicit suggestion that maybe you might want to check out their work... and support them too. 

I debated about whether to include the actual Bitcoin Addresses or not.   I finally decided to include them -- if only for convenience sake. 

I ask everyone listed to please verify that I have their preferred address listed. 

And I ask readers to not take my word for it... if they have any doubts whatsoever,  please verify the Bitcoin Address directly with the recipient.

Hi Bitcoin Forum,

I have only just read about this bitcoin concept tonight. I'm intrigued, but still rather confused (and admittedly a bit dubious).

However, this game sounds interesting, so I got the client running, and I have an address I'd like to enter into the pool: 16ZaypawmtVxYMyUjeP2zP8VFu7Zc3rRpH.

If I understand correctly about blocks and the numbers thereof, then I might not see a transaction to me before I have got the entire set of blocks right? So, I apologise in advance if there's a delay between any  transactions I receive from pay it forward, and my return.

Cheers,
Max.

Maybe there should be minimum post level before joining the game.

Im surprised this is still going .

I totally agree. There are lots of one-post accounts just pasting a random address. It gets worse: most of these accounts are still one-post ones even months after. That's such obvious cheating. Please remove them from the list that's at the beginning of the thread, I mean it's not a lot of money but it kind of ruins the game.

Meh.  This is me deliberately not adding my wallet number because I'm still new to this forum.  You should only pay it forward if someone is at least a junior member, which is what 100 posts or something?  I can understand new people wanting to get bitcoins but what a cheap way to do it....
