... and me!  ;D
If you happen to live in a developing country you might look at this thread  (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=16230.0) to get some more information about a really lucrative business. At least, if you are the first one to open such an exchange. ;)

Anyone else?

Using my free time to support Bitcoin with my current business. Too little free-time though, between actually running the business and mining BTC...

What is this I head about there being about a 1/10th of a USD cent cost to each transaction over the whole network.

Can someone explain that to me?

former fee was .01BTC, which at the time was a meaninglessly low number.

It's now been dropped to .005

I wanted to start a beer delivery service, but the red tape involving shipping beer around the U.S. stumped me.  >:(

I think it's actually .0005BTC as the default min which be a whole penny still. A reasonable fee, but too high for a min and will need to be changed again in a month or two. It's kind of hard to keep out in front of this I guess.

Bitcoin is PERFECT for micropayments. Can we persuade NYTimes (or some other major newspaper who is willing to increase revenue) to accept bitcoins for access?
