Bitgold CEO endorses use with online gambling

Based on the rapid take-up of the platform in the first few days, he said it appears to be far more than a niche product for a small group of users. He noted that hardcore gold bugs make up less than 10 per cent of the user base so far.

“I’m seeing friends who signed up sending payments to each other,” Sebag said. “I know they bet on football, and now they’re paying each other.”

From an interview with the Financial Post

Bit Gold - Confusion with Nick Szabo's mid-2000's Project
Bitgold Inc. should not be confused with Nick Szabo's Bit Gold project. Nor does Bitgold Inc. have anything to do with Bitcoin.

The Bit Gold proposal, by Nick Szabo, describes a system for the decentralized creation of unforgeable chains of proofs of work, with each one being attributed to its discoverer's public key, using timestamps and digital signatures.

It is said that these proofs of work would have value because they would be scarce, difficult to produce, and securely stored and transferred.

Szabo's theory of the economics of such money is described in the linked article on the origins of money.

Transfer with prevention of double-spending, via a Byzantine-resilient peer-to-peer method, is described in another linked article which calls the method secure property titles and proposes also applying it to other kinds of digital property, such as domain names.

However, this Byzantine method relies on a quorum of network addresses rather than a quorum of (hash) computing power, so unlike bitcoin it is vulnerable to Sybil attacks. 

Is Bitgold a scam? Opinions by major thought leaders.
