Micon,

I don't know what can be simplified in the terms of our wager. There is a date, and a basic Mhash/Joule efficiency metric whose only purpose is to differentiate ASICs from other technologies. What do you want to research exactly, in order to bet more? If you have questions, let me know.

Easiest and cleanest way I know to flush out funds from a specific known private key is to make a throwaway wallet on Blockchain.info, import the key, and send yourself the funds.

That can be done even if the same key is also in your own Satoshi wallet.

Mtgox also works.

Ok.

By the way, if you have imported the private key for our 0.002 BTC test, you should see that your Bitcoin balance has automatically increased by 0.002 (there is no instant visual cue that the key was imported). You can also manually go to the address book, and look for the presence of the escrow bitcoin address.

If you want to move the 0.002 BTC out of the wallet key, the simplest way is to make a transfer of an amount X such as X + fees = 0.002. For example if your client is configured with the default fee of 0.0005, then send 0.0015 to any of your other addresses. Most likely you will only have one key securing 0.002 BTC, so the client will decide to take the fund from this key. (Or there may be a "send from" option in the Bitcoin-QT GUI, I don't know, I have never used the GUI.)

Done. I sent 10 BTC (exactly 10.00003615 BTC) to http://blockchain.info/address/1Btxe5E8E4jCWfDhQMr683sVYnLgNLbA9z

10.00004200 sent to it from this end just now.

been busy with SealsWithClubs making Forbes as well as another gambling-facing project.   I know you want to go bigger, so let me research the actual terms of our wager (I'm firing relatively blind when it comes to the technical side, so let me shore that up first)

also I haven't asked any of my extremely rich did-way-better-than-me-at-poker friends if they want $ on my side of this bet.  I'll link them to this thread and see if they want action.

Yes, absolutely, from now on we only need to send to http://blockchain.info/address/1Btxe5E8E4jCWfDhQMr683sVYnLgNLbA9z  There is no need for new escrow invites.

I will send 10 BTC in about 3h...

Any reason you can't do more? Please? Smiley

Thanks Micon.

I confirm that with your code B, I was able to collect my fund using casascius' app, and was able to import the private key using the "bitcoind importprivkey" CLI. I moved the 0.001 BTC out of the address to prove it: http://blockchain.info/address/1JUsk88BGbZbRs3R3JoKxeR4Mc9sxf74kQ I now have full confidence in casascius' escrow system Smiley

Are you able to do the same and collect the 0.002 BTC of our 2nd test: http://blockchain.info/address/1JhXYPL22cZF3q9iXqKRz5iPfFarDH9DNm ?

was able to generate the private key for this.  I'm using the latest satoshi wallet trying to import the private key using this method:  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_import_private_keys_v7%2B

pretty sure this is gonna work.  I am not sure how much more I want to fire yet - but we can just keep adding to our "real" bet's address?  i.e. you and I both keep shipping more coins to [[ 1Btxe5E8E4jCWfDhQMr683sVYnLgNLbA9z  ]]  instead of making new escrow invites?

I could do 10 more coins ASAP if you'd like.  Then SgtSpike doesn't have more action than you Smiley

So, Micon, are you willing to deposit another 90 BTC each?

Micon, let's assume you win the coin flip - I already PM'd you my escrow code "A" - so go ahead and claim the 0.002 BTC Smiley

Also, can you PM me your escrow code "B" so I can attempt to get my 0.001 BTC back for the first test?

yes i'll ship you all that right now.  i think the fee for .001 send was .001 lol

1)  I saw the space, eliminated it each time, still never worked always game same error

2)  but I was able to use that invite code to generate the piece that mrb used and now I too have hit this hash:  1JhXYPL22cZF3q9iXqKRz5iPfFarDH9DNm  with .001


C   --  flip coin / award this one?  see it work for real 1st time so I feel better about the 60 coins hanging in the system Smiley ?

SgtSpike, casascius: no, this is not it.

According to Micon, he already tried to remove the whitespace, it still didn't work for him.
For me, when I remove the whitespace, it does work, so either it is user error on his side, or a bug (an instance running on Windows cannot accept an invitation code from an instance running on Mono?)

Casascius: it would be great if you investigated why Micon encountered the error when he tried to be a payer with my payment invitation code:

Yes, it's because the forum doesn't like a single word to be that long and inserts crap in the middle of it so that it doesn't disrupt the layout of the screen.

Other text editors have similar behavior.

I expect I will do something to at least strip the string of whitespace and non-printing characters, and that will get us by.  Ultimately, single "words" of 80+ characters are going to get pretty raw treatment by most text editing environments, and the real solution for encoding larger objects is to do some sort of multi-line encoding like PGP does.

Ok, Micon, I generated the same address as you for this coin flip. I sent 0.001 BTC to it:

which should have produced the address 1JUsk88BGbZbRs3R3JoKxeR4Mc9sxf74kQ
You have all 3 pieces (a, b, payment invitation) to investigate.
I've highlighted the problem for you..?

kakobrekla, the bet has already been placed 2 days ago. We are just running a separate test.

Besides, I had a bet on http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=665 but Micon refused to trust it, so I think he would have refused to trust bitbet as well.

Psi laju, karavani prolaze.
So its been like a week and you two are still struggling to place this bitdust bet.

You could have done it on bitbet under 20 seconds.
