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...

It is quite possible to do.

'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.  ^_^

neilskzy...HILARIOUS!!!



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

Hi i'm new using bitcoin, i like participate in the "pay it forward project".
Sorry my english is not good .

Greeting's

Yes it is always going on .

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...

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 ?
