I too would like any left over coins/money. 1DC9o6t7b397c2YfL915K5UX4Xo7KyZWuZ

College doesn't pay itself! Although, I'd probably just need the funds to print off my diploma when we go to repopulate. But who knows! We may have price gougers!

I'll watch raptured folks' pets for 5 BTC each.  Actually, we had a rapture-themed shirt as a candidate for our store, but scrapped it because we couldn't get the look right.

The Rapture already happened, and I think I got left behind.   Undecided

Anyone who believes they will be raptured should place bets on a contract that the rapture will happen by X date.  Then, if it doesn't happen, they get their money back + a little extra, and if it does happen, they lose their money but it doesn't matter anymore.
Except ... the person who believes they will be raptured must bet that the rapture will not happen by X date, for this to work.

And who is going to bet against them? There's nothing in it for the person who bets that rapture will happen.
Oh, yep, you're right... I mixed up my language a bit there.

Sure there is!  If you believe that God exists but also believe you're going to hell and don't care about it, then you would bet against it.  Tongue

Ah well, it was worth a thought at least.

I was actually thinking about this in conjunction with prediction markets.

Amirite?

Can god create a cryptocurrency so strong that even he cannot break it?

Please!

I'm tattooing encrypted QR codes for my private key so I can use these babies in heaven.

Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. You think St.Peter is gonna accept a bribe, sinner???

As an atheist I am guaranteed to be left behind. If you are leaving with Jesus please send your bitcoins to the address in my signature. I also accept bank transfer so you can send me your savings and 401k. Thanks!  Cheesy
