Title: What would you want to use btc for? Post by: alkhdaniel on July 02, 2011, 01:38:05 AM What would you want to spend your bitcoins on? What do you think could make btc a more used currency?
Post what you would think would be cool to see, maybe a btc sport betting site? Want to buy books for btc? Play competetive games against HUMANS (kinda like poker, but something else)? Buy software? Escrow services? A bitcoin TV ad? Please share your ideas or maybe improve what someone else said, maybe one day someone will set up just the service you wish for. If it's a simple enough request i might even do it. Shameless self advertising: A way to automaticly convert usd to bitcoins based on current mtgox price at for example forum posts instead of adjusting price manually all the time (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=23212) - Think something like this could benefit the trade forum here alot actually, sad to see that no one actually uses it :(. If you don't like links, this is what it does: 57 usd at current mtgoxrate is http://91.215.158.89/~twyxgiv/bitcoin/convert.php?usd=57 bitcoins. Title: Re: What would you want to use btc for?

Post by: Stephen Gornick on July 02, 2011, 05:23:29 AM maybe a btc sport betting site? Like http://www.btcsportsbet.com ? Want to buy books for btc? Using Amazon? - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BTC_Buy or elsewhere? - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade#Books Play competetive games against HUMANS (kinda like poker, but something else)? I don't know if that's what this does but: - http://www.minethings.com or - http://dragons.tl There was specifically a human-vs-human online card game, Yacht, but that operator is no longer offering it apparently: - http://www.bityacht.com Buy software? Again, from Amazon?- http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BTC_Buy There should be multiple options for this. Strange this wasn't among the first offered. Escrow services? ClearCoin will definitely be missed. Perhaps one of the new ones?- http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Escrow_services Please share your ideas or maybe improve what someone else said, maybe one day someone will set up just the service you wish for. If it's a simple enough request i might even do it. * IDEA: Bitcoin-paying consignment store (I ship off a box of stuff, you sell it, send proceeds less your cut to me) * IDEA: A US Mail Forwarding, International Shipping service, simlar to MyUS.com - http://bitcoin.witcoin.com/p/269 Title: Re: What would you want to use btc for? Post by: alkhdaniel on July 02, 2011, 06:12:52 PM Like http://www.btcsportsbet.com ? Didn't know about the sport bettings site, but i would guess moar=better, unless no one uses it. Using Amazon? Using amazon is nice and all, was more thinking about a direct exchange. But looking at the second link i guess there actually is quite a lot of sellers.- http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BTC_Buy or elsewhere? - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade#Books I don't know if that's what this does but: minethings.com don't actually use btc in any way if i'm not misunderstood, played it a while yesterday but didn't see anything?- http://www.minethings.com or - http://dragons.tl There was specifically a human-vs-human online card game, Yacht, but that operator is no longer offering it apparently: - http://www.bityacht.com dragons.tl is more of what i was thinking but that's pretty much a fancy casino, no? Not sure about bityacht, but it sounds just like what i was thinking about I just found out about BIT-FU (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=25099), that seems to be just the kind of thing i imagined. Personally i would like to see more of these things, and not just double trouble sh!t everywhere. Again, from Amazon? There are probaly more ways than BTC Buy to buy software right now, some are selling on the forums etc. This is something i would personally like to see more of though.- http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BTC_Buy There should be multiple options for this. Strange this wasn't among the first offered. ClearCoin will definitely be missed. Perhaps one of the new ones? More = better, again.- http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Escrow_services Most of the things i said was just kind of random stuff i could come up with though, personally most interested in competetive games where you play against someone else for the bitcoins, like bit-fu. * IDEA: Bitcoin-paying consignment store (I ship off a box of stuff, you sell it, send proceeds less your cut to me) Can't really say much about those 2 things, but something that comes close to having "someone else sell it" would probaly be bitcoinclassifieds (http://www.bitcoinclassifieds.net/)* IDEA: A US Mail Forwarding, International Shipping service, simlar to MyUS.com - http://bitcoin.witcoin.com/p/269 The witcoin post is just the kind of discussion i wanted here. |
