"flawed" ?? @p{par}

I've been telling people it is a half-baked, I've-lost-my-friggin-mind idea! @p{par}

So far, I count it as a big success@p{--} I've learned a lot that will help me with my next Bitcoin-related project, I've made a bunch of people a teeny-tiny bit happier, and I've personally invested just under $1.00 worth of bitcoins over the last two weeks. @p{par}

I did throw in the towel today and turned on reCAPTCHA for everybody getting bitcoins (it looks like somebody DID bother to write a robot to harvest coins through proxies).  It was fun trying to come up with new, creative ways of detecting cheating, but I have more important things to work on. @p{brk}
