Would you consider releasing the code open source so that somebody may continue with this kind of service? (after they fix the bug)

It's pretty likely that I'll open source it. I would have to clean up & document the code better though.

True. But it's going to take some serious time to fix the problem. And that's time I need to be spending focusing on my career (or lack thereof) at the moment. Plus holding other people's money is definitely not for me. Too stressful. At this point I'm hoping someone else will consider implementing some of my ideas.

Thanks. I worked really hard on that site. But look on the bright side, it could have been a lot worse.

Yes, I found a glitch in my software that I can't fix right now. I'm returning everyone's money. The glitch caused money to be sent to people twice. I caught it early so I only lost 25btc, which I'm personally reimbursing.

To anyone that has money with BtcBuckets, please withdraw it at your convenience. The money will not be sent immediately! I have to do that manually, but I can't know where you want the money to go until you try to send it somewhere.

Thank you all for trusting me with your money and I'm sorry things had to end this way.

EDIT: Please be advised that the home page is disabled. Just go directly to your bucket.

Hmm. Can you tell us what's going on?

Just mouse over the truncated number for full precision.

The site doesn't seem to display full precision on the numbers.  If my bucket has 0.12345678 BTC shouldn't it show that number, rather than 0.12 BTC?

You can still do sends unless you've specifically disabled that option.

I see.  I didn't realize Instant Send was still and option after locked.

That still leaves a method that you'ld have a bad bucket though. 

1.) uncheck "Allow Instant Sends"
2.) lock
3.) Click the "Fix Spouts"

The end result is a bucket that can receive but no method of sending is possible, right?

Yes that's correct. It's done that way by design to allow people to have no control themselves of the money. People may want to set things up this way for legal reasons. That being said, once a bucket expires, you can do instant sends again.

Thanks for working on the wiki!

Just an FYI -- It appears the number of confirmations before the funds appear as being available is three.

And there is a wiki page for this now:
