CDT? Is that Australian, Cuban or North American?
UTC is so much more internet friendly... I don't understand why so many people persist in using these parochial abbreviations on global websites (especially when it's not obvious what country the site is in or aimed at)

The same question, show more stats. Or there are so few visitors that you don't want to reveal data?
P.S. Giving away only ONE bounty per day is not enough to motivate significant number of users to regularly visit site, IMHO.

maxmint, as I said in another post thanks for this site. I just saw the advertiser banner to advertise, 1 complete BTC for 24 hours good!
May I know how much UV (Unique Visitors) are you getting per those 24 hours ?

Some sites, like Godaddy, have a timeout code built into their website. If you'll been on the page for over a certain period of time without any activity, the page has to be refreshed or you must relog in.
My site also has 2 minute prize expiration time, I think it is good to implement the same in your flower.

A free bitcoin every day, thanks to the mysterious bitcoin flower!
Check out the bitcoin flower at http://www.bitcoinflower.com/. It opens once a day for 15 minutes and reveals a shiny bitcoin. Nobody knows when it opens (it's random) but if you're the first to see it you get a whole shiny bitcoin.
I just created this site and welcome your comments and suggestions.
Also, if you win a bitcoin I would be happy to read your comment here.
Have fun!
I just wanted to say that I like your idea every much and like the way #25 is going with it. It could really be something useful to all parties involved if you can overcome the bot problem without making it an annoying thing to do.
Godspeed.

Is anybody here working on an animated flower, or something similar, that reveals a Bitcoin?

I think someone is using a bot. I was just there when the flower opened, and I missed it!
i missed it also. it was like there was nothing to click on so i quickly opened IE instead of opera
thinking my fav web browser was not working but alas.. i was too slow.
i am still unsure where to click next time if i am lucky enough to see it... on the coin it says.. but it is
frustrating clicking on the coin to see nothing happen. i would prefer it to say.. sorry, too slow! heh.

Thank you all for commenting, throwing in your ideas and sharing your grindhouse passion at this thread 
Here's a quick update:
- Automated scripts could be the site's achilles' heel. I'm currently evaluating your suggestions and some other ideas to come up with something in the next couple of days. I know it's not possible to find the perfect solution, but I think there's a way to at least limit this problem.
- As suggested by some of you, I decided to put up a banner space to somehow refinance the site. I tried to avoid cluttering up the site by putting only one small banner at the right sidebar.

Or a rotating banner. Each day somebody from the Bitcoin community who has a website is that day's sponsor. For about $10, he gets 24 hour exposure (midnight to midnight, CST?).

Send the coin to yourself, then open the flower for 15 minutes so that all the bot owners think they just missed it.

Add some noise to the image to make impossible comparing hashes.

By the time all the bitcoinerz are done their lame loz hax on your site, you will become a security expert here.
I most certainly know that if you can pass the bit-tard stamp of approval you will be qualified to work for any e-commerce company in your country.
Live long and prosper!

Same flash image of unopened flower refreshes every 5 minutes(?) until the time to show Bitcoin producing flower. Code stays the same(?)

You could implement a Captcha to stop things like this happening, or possibly some sort of bot check.
Chinese kids decaptches it for few cents per thousand....and without using a Captcha.
