I hope JD will use both the information and the funds from this experiment wisely, to get a life he is wishing for.
No spam surprisingly enough. 
lol why did anyone send money?
reading your spam inbox must be an expensive task for you lot.

Once there was a man (we’ll call him JD) who made his living any way he could. He never really stayed in one place or held down a job for very long, although he was more than qualified for a wide range of occupations. No, JD instead relied upon taking things a day at a time and usually ended up wherever his free spirit took him. He liked to claim this was the only way a person could truly be free.
JD just spent the last few weeks visiting a nearby public library where he could log a few hours here and there on a public computer. JD, not having a lot to his name preferred to utilize public resources whenever he could, both due to necessity and to his credo of not being tied down to any particular place.
He does know a thing or two about computers and navigating the “net” and would often go to the library to research the places he visited or learn more about things he heard about. He once briefly considered a career in IT, but found that would not lead to the type of life he was looking for.
One morning while taking in the sunrise at a small coffee house, JD recently overheard a conversation about something called Bitcoin. JD often would like to seek out new places from which to view the sun rise and felt this was one of the ways he could more closely feel part of the wider world around him. It offered him a sort of solace as it was a familiar face he could count on wherever he may be.
His curiosity piqued, JD scoured the net to find out about this new form of currency. The more he read, the more he became intrigued. As you can imagine, when one tries to live as a free spirit, it is hard to reconcile this with the more traditional means of storing and securing money.
While JD was not particularly obsessed with money the way many people are, he did realize it had its place and was almost as much a requirement in the modern day as having clean air to breath, food to eat, and a warm place to sleep. JD spent the next several days thinking about what he read, but he decided to take action when on his next visit to a coffee shop, he noticed a sign indicating they now accept Bitcoin.
On his next visit to the library, JD is able to assume an online persona. He creates an online e-mail account and signs up to a popular Bitcoin forum. Here he tiptoes around carefully, initially reading many of the posts and learning how to create online wallets. He likes the idea of something he can access from anywhere, as this fits in with his lifestyle, so establishes himself with a few exchanges that provide a means to accept coins into an online wallet.
JD gets his first taste of Cryptocurrencies by participating in a few giveaway threads, which are commonly used to help introduce people to new cryptocurrencies when they launch. Having explored the site for a few days, JD recognizes these as Alt-coins, and knows that this probably the best entry into the crypto-currency world. As he has no physical means to mine coins, or the financial resources to purchase any outright, he seeks ways to become more involved.
Another week or so passes and JD comes up with an interesting idea. In order for it to work it will require some form of community involvement. Even with his little time spent on the various online sites, JD knows this will take some doing and incredible patience. But with plenty of free time, JD feels up to the task.
While the general community is war weary and sees scams at every turn, JD manages to convince a few souls into participating in his endeavor.

0.0005 btc donated for the experiment from italy
Hmm, no shocks yet

Very curious now what is going to happen
Very true we don't need PTSD or worse from this Experiment.
As long as it doesn't get out of hand (like the Stanford prison experiment)

I already get shocks with my spinal cord implant does that count.
Looking forward to this.
Looking forward to this.
Sign-ups are now closed.
Looks like we have 8 participants, a bit less that I hoped but I am optimistic it will still work out well, after all this is a forum run experiment so it is hard to control all aspects of it. Now I just need to figure out how to get you to give electric shocks to each other though this forum...
My next post will be the official kick-off of the experiment per my last post's instructions. The first few parts will not require any interaction, just so you are aware. Also, I should point out that it might not at first seem like a lot is happening, but keep in mind everything has its purpose.

And here I would be happy with just 5 BTC you are really shooting for the stars. 
I'm running an experiment where I'm going to need people to send me as many bitcoins as possible. Results will be published in the American Sociological Review. If you are interested in participating in my groundbreaking scientific study, bitcoins can be sent here : 1C7YMm7GVrdTZmABZSaaZVpkRK7EEizb6U
