The Community Test

[kpitti]

What will result tells you?

It will be emtpy .... ?
It will remain the same amount in .... ?
Amount will increase .... ?

What you will learn from it? It`s open community here, even one with no profile can read here. You better save your BTC for future and think about new Test.
May be this thread is a test itself

Also, if you accidentally revealed your key, then it would be a real test, but here you're practically asking for it to be emptied. Why would you think it would be different?

[Elwar]

It would be an expensive lesson on "protect your private keys".

Tomorrow I will post the private key for a wallet holding 10 BTC.

Then, I will check the balance after ten days.

That will tell me if this is a community I want to be a part of.

This is pointless exercise. It is well known that there are sharks, con artists and thieves leaching off this community just like within every other community worldwide. Having faith that 100% of a community has good intentions is naive and defeats one of the central principles that bitcoin exists in the first place ... to protect yourself from institutionalized and petty theft through strong cryptography. Just because bitcoin allows you the freedom to and hand a bunch of sharks some cash doesn't mean you should.

What a stupid tripping on "community". Please do it.

[Cryptonitex]

Your going to judge a large community like BCT based on an individual who steals 10 BitCoin. If you wanna do trust over the whole community on BCT head over to the market place and do some trading there. If you get robbed a lot, than this aint the community that can be trusted. But many people have had successful trades there so I wouldn't think it would happen.

There are previous examples where large amount of BTC was returned by community members...

1. 267 BTC was returned by johoe => http://www.coindesk.com/good-samaritan-blockchain-hacker-returned-255-btc-speaks/

2. 225 BTC was returned by firedcat => http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1lb5my/asicminer_refunds_the_accidental_200_btc/

3. 20 BTC was returned by cloudmining.website => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=938228.0

In all the above cases, the fund got into good hands of the community. But, if you put it open to all, your fund is only safe if someone swipe it out immediately and then return in a later state. So, do not post the private key, unless you want to lose it out...

this is literally the second dumbest thing i've ever read

[BitBlitz]

Good news everybody/// Tomorrow I will put an envelope on central station holding 200 dollars, if it is gone within ten days I do not want to live on this planet anymore.. allready booked my flight, so goodbye to you all!

Forget all this 10BTC stuff!  Where did you book a flight off this planet??   

[Bralex]

Whether your bitcoin is still there or not after 10 days how will that help to tell you whether this community is where you wanna be. What's the logic behind it?

Thought that would be obvious, if it's gone he's surrounded by thief's.

No need for the test the chances are high you are surrounded by them

why dont you leave your wallet on a public bench for 10 days and see what will happen?

Maybe I will. If the wallet on the public bench holds more money after ten days, I'll know it's a good community.

don't leave a wallet.  just leave a stack of $100 bills equating to 10 btc.  see how it goes then in your disney land private and gated community.

So if you find a wallet on the street/bench you would just put some more money in it and leave it there? Yeah, I believe you.

Your going to judge a large community like BCT based on an individual who steals 10 BitCoin.

I'd argue that it's not theft to sweep funds on private keys which are intentionally revealed to the public.
...

This.

Intentional revealing public key is nothing but the giveaway. Picking up those BTC wouldn't have anything to do with stealing. Again, "intentionally" is a keyword here.

[silversurfer1958]

That reminds me of a film I once saw, 'Gone in 60 seconds'

Make that microseconds,
don't do it buddy, donate it to EFF or the Bitcoin foundation, or some kickstarter project, or the Darkwallet group.

[twister]

I don't know if you're serious or just trolling OP but if you're serious DON'T DO THIS. This is just an open forum with all sort of people and if you really want to throw away your money best donate it to charity, there are people around the world who are still dying of hunger.

[jacktheking]

I'm not sure if the community will take those Bitcoin or put in more.. But this should be posted in Games and Round or Meta. Not here.

Anyway, someone who dont have a Bitcointalk account can just steal you Bitcoin. This forums is not a private forums.

What community are you talking about? There is no community, just a lot of individuals with their own thoughts and ideals who happen to share an interest in Bitcoin.

+1

and you are sure you lose all you BTC...

just read all the scams around here...

there are a child board too...

do you really think that here we are all honest?

It's been a day and I have received no free coins.

Is this the type of person we need in our 'community'? Promising free coins and then not following through.
