In the works ;).

What kind of PAAS would you provide? Don't know much about it...

Yes that would epic hehe, I own an affiliate marketing company and I've thought about that

I'd pay for anything with Bitcoin, seriously, who needs conventional money now? The only physical stuff I'd take if I had the option right now would be gold or silver.

I would pay for everything that accepts it. My dream is before a decade people will use bitcoin for shopping, music, porn etc

Same here, its actually becoming a necessity for me to use bitcoins for anything i buy.

Yes for sure! that is definitely going to happen

Someone already has: CoinDL (http://www.howtovanish.com/howtovanishbitcoinshopbanner).

Transferring coins in a matter of seconds would also be a issue. If you wanted to buy a loaf of bread you would have to log on and send the Bitcoins. We need a debit card that can be loaded with Bitcoins.

I'd like to see more charities accept donations in bitcoin, or at least a trustworthy site that passes donations on.  I think there was something like this at one point, but I don't know what happened.

I also wish there were more legitimate investment opportunities.  I know I could lend to people on this forum, but I'm reluctant to risk large amounts of money without any means of enforcing the agreement.  Maybe a microloan company or something similar.

Online gaming is another possibility.

An anon service where you can turn btc into cash. It should be reliable and fast.

Web dev/design always needed by pretty much everyone looking to start a BTC business.

Trouble is, startups by unknowns (which's who you'll likely end up working for without a decent portfolio) often will want to pay you in equity because they need a proof-of-concept before they can bring in funds to actually pay people. Hard to have a proof-of-concept when the site is practically a necessity. This generally means those interested in starting a business need to code and skin services themselves, have friends who do that, or somehow be able to obtain enough money to have it done professionally.

Lots of good ideas, not a lot of money being thrown at unprovens. By taking equity for work, you're basically making an investment, so your work ends up being pretty similar to that of a VC, which's no good if you need to eat now instead of possibly eating later with whatever you might be paid out.

Otherwise, Bitcoin businesses seem pretty desperately in need of cheap security audits, professionally-done insurance on funds held, financial audits & accountants, and lawyers. Web/VPS hosting options are currently pretty limited, though. The BTC community could probably use a good many PIs and bounty hunters... Most of us could use a humbling kick in the ass, too. ;)

I completely agree with you, people will have to end up coding themselves or actually paying someone to code. As far as investments no one is really investing, I've been trying to find businesses to invest in but nothing has really caught my eye. If anyone has anything to pitch to me please do lol.

is there a big demand for this?

Yes, in EU there is, but the service should be anonymous and reliable.
Most "Bitcoiners" have just a few coins (too young, too much gambling, etc) but a few people have lots of BTC, and need to "liquefy" some.

Hmm interesting, and when you say collecting anonymous do you mean collecting the money in cash and then the user sending the bitcoins?
Here in the states its similar, there aren't many people that have enough coins just a few here and there.

What i mean is a service where you can "liquefy" Bitcoins.
Yes, the crowd is always broke ::) but some people have quite large amounts of coins, and dont want to hoard them.

Yea that is true, but I think those that are trying to hoard them are starting to spend them and just keep a little in reserve. I know I began hoarding all my coins in the beginning but I eventually gave in and starting using them, this is what everyone should be doing so we can start to stimulate the economy of bitcoins.
