University of Zurich performs an experiment that rewards participants in Bitcoins:

That's probably the first time Bitcoin is used for scientific research. Bitcoin is a great choice as it allows for anonymous incentives.

Well, looks like the experiment has ended; they're still accepting the survey but payments are over.

10 mBTC isn't huge, but what's important is that they thought of using Bitcoin as a reward, opening a new way of using Bitcoins.

It's a funny question they've put up. Don't really see what result they will get out of the questions, but hey ho. Will report back if I happen to get the reward paid out.

As expected no payouts. Has anyone (who did it before 31st of december) received an email with results or something as a follow-up? I'd be interested in the results

i answered the doc sometime in December but i cant remember recieving any further email from them

According to http://www.bitcoinassociation.ch/blog/bitcoins-for-science-update/, 124 participants got the verification questions correct and 65 of them received a payment on Dec 31. So either you made a careless mistake or you are one of those 59 unlucky guys.

And btw, I participated in the experiment back then and did receive a payment.
