How many notes does it take to get a hit?

[Skylimit]

I've had a hit with natureke. He/she entered 2 notes. That's 1 on 2

Well "natureke" translates as "the natural" in English... Has he/she come back after the hit ?

As a matter of fact, you also scored a hit with Disturbed during his first 20 notes entered. He is an active EBT'er now.

I wouldn't be surprised if bhoeyb is the actual top scorer (after all he has most bills entered since yesterday too)

[bhoeyb]

Well "natureke" translates as "the natural" in English... Has he/she come back after the hit ?

No, he/she didn't came back after the hit so probably he/she doesn't know about it
He/she entered 2 bills only once.

Antii and Bhoeyb I understand what you mean.

It's a shame isn't it.......... people always spoil it for others.

Yes, that is a shame.
But it's a funny thing that foreigners always write my name as Antii instead of Antti.(don't get insulted by that, it's just a thing I noticed, nothing personal)

[Tiger]

hey Antti
(wiiih, I'm the first to write it correct :p)

That's a strange thing... there are some Finnish names like Antti, Martti, Erkki etc. and many foreigners always misspell them in the same way. Former president of Finland, Martti Ahtisaari had the same problem, look for example this CNN site:

And few other sites, too:

With 14545 million notes produced throughout Europe (and production probably continues), the amount of notes entered into EBT (358857) is only 0.00247 %:

358857 / 14545000000 * 100 = 0.00247 %
358857 notes are registered, 14544641143 are not. Or for every single note registered in EBT there is another 40530 notes circulating which are not (yet) registered.

358.857 notes in 9 months. I suppose we will reach 500.000 in one year. That means that it is possible to enter all the notes in 14.545.000.000/500.000 = 29.090 years (just in theory). Do we still pay in euro's in 31.092 ?

[emmem]

We now have 405.386 notes. The past week there’s an average of 1957 notes a day. At this average we need 49 days to get to 500.000. At this rate we will get there only on 10 January 2003.

If we want to have 500.000 on 31/12/2002 we need to enter 2485 notes a day.

406510 notes entered / 135 trackings = 3011 notes for 1 hit !!!
or
in every 3011 notes, there are 2 the same...!

No fraud, I simply wrote the URL in the margin of every note I got in my hands since february 3d. Not done anything special further...
The third hit is funny, since it's done by somebody who had registered months ago, just entered a few notes, and recently came across mine (with the URL written on it) and submitted it.

BTW: I masked the serial numbers in this first paste so they wouldn't be re-entered

So this system is working for you . You've almost the same amount of hits I have with 14800 notes . But I can't write down the URL on all my notes . I did it only a few times ... without succes anywayz .

[pieterr]

The third hit is funny, since it's done by somebody who had registered months ago, just entered a few notes, and recently came across mine (with the URL written on it) and submitted it.

So the other two are by people that came to the website because of the url on the note... an efficient way of promoting the website as wel

[Antti]

Finally I can asnswer my own question, becauseI got a hit!!!!!!

After 213 notes I got a note that had been entered by Garrett exactly 4 months ago. It still looked fresh and new after 4 months and 134km.
It's a real beauty.

[wouter]

CONGRATZ!!!!

then it should be about time for me i now have 205 notes

[Antti]

Thanks and hope you'll get a hit soon, fella.
But I have a problem now: What should I do with the note? Should I send it back to circulation hoping it will be re-entered again someday or should I keep it as a trofé(is that english?)
