Very unique idea I must say. Don't know how it works and how will it go though but I wanna try.
I would like the 0.1 BTC for beta testing, my username is twister

0.1 BTC sent.

Got`em. So I need to not put it all on one game and wager 0.1 before I am allowed to take out anything, right?

I would also like 0.1BTC for Beta Testing.
My username is "lalwa" .
Is there something else that I need to provide?

No, I've just sent 0.1 BTC to your account. From now on I will be enforcing the 200 post minimum threshold though

Got the 0.1BTC.

I know manipulating the data for words like music and video would be very difficult cause they have a lot of tweeters, but if there is competition between words which are used less then the data can be manipulated.

Yes, this is why for low frequency words it is customary to use 10 hours of sampling, for words like 'love' even 10-30 minutes will do just fine.

i am interested to take a try to test this game, how much wagered required to take withdraw?

If I give you 0.1 BTC to play with, then 0.1 BTC :-)

Let's say to take part in the game, post "I would like the 0.1 BTC for beta testing, my username is [XYZ]". I'll disable withdrawals & send you the coins on BETWitter. When you have wagered at least 0.1 BTC in total (and don't put all on one game) I'll lift the withdrawals.

Just saw one of the game. It was like which one will have more tweeters? Music or Video.
So the word which will get more tweets by people will win? How do you count the tweets? Cant this be manipulated?

Not the word with the most tweets, but the word with the most tweeters. Clearly one account could post the same thing a lot of times before being rate limited or banned, so most games use the number of unique tweeters rather than tweets.

Obviously this can be manipulated, how easy it is depends on the game. Anything 'manipulating' the results will be in the public tweet logs though, so silent manipulation is not possible.

So I can keep on making accounts and keep on tweeting? I know manipulating the data for words like music and video would be very difficult cause they have a lot of tweeters, but if there is competition between words which are used less then the data can be manipulated.

I did give ~3 BTC to the ~10 beta test members before the BTCTalk launch. I guess I could give a few more coins out to the first few users with 200+ posts...

How'bout this? I'll give the first 10 people interested 0.1 BTC each (requirement: genuine interest, 200+ posts) - time limited offer.

Their withdrawals will be disabled until they msg me to check their total wager and if they've spent the coins on games, I'll re-enable withdrawals and they can keep any payouts.

This is a cool idea bit it seems a little confusing to start with. I can nust bet on what is going on with twitter Huh

Sometimes it's just a simple choice between 'true' and 'false' - it doesn't have to be that confusing.
Check out the list of games.

any giveaway promotion for pre launch to bct members to test it for free.
