Hey, I had an idea that could potentially be profitable. It is a bitcoin -> mail sort of thing. I found a website that would send all the mail automatically, with an API of course. I was thinking that we could generate a private key, wait for a couple confirmations, send some bitcoins to the address that is related to the private key, and then send the information through the mail. I started the project, but I am running into a few bugs, and would want someone else to work on it with me (for a split profit sort-of thing  ). If anyone is interested, you can reach me on here, on Skype (PM me with your Skype name), or on #bitcoin-otc (I am on right now, my username is danieldaniel). EDIT: I was trying to protect my idea at first, but I guess its all publicly available anyways. Ok, so the website is http://www.postalmethods.com/They have a cool API, which I think could be very useful. It could be similar to that other gift card thing (I think it was called BitBills), but we wouldn't shut our site down  . |

i might be interested, but i would need more information. it sounds like your either hiding something or you're protecting your idea. you can pm me with details and i'll tell you how i can help, or if you could simply post them on this thread, i'm sure others would provide some insight as well.

Well, I want people to be able to look at the site. If someone else does it without me, I really could care less. I would obviously prefer them to work with me, but they can do whatever they want. Also, IMO, anyone who is reputable enough to be trusted with making a site wouldn't steal another persons idea, but as I said, do whatever you want with it. |

I said in the thread that I was thinking of a "mail a bitcoin" sort of service. I haven't seen a fully developed service out there like this, that is completely automatic, so I feel like it could be a useful addition to the community. |

That is an awesome site. Thanks for showing it to me; it will be perfect for an unrelated (non-bitcoin) project.

So a sort of snail-mail coinapult? Heck, even just wrapping their service so people can use it paying with bitcoins would be cool, although I'm not sure how much use it would get. |
