Kinda weird that nobody has posted it here yet, but there we go. Effect is obvious, but when and how high?

I've seen quite a bit of discussion about this, and it is definitely very exciting. Hard to say when it will affect price -- I'd have to think actual increased adoption based on it would lag quite behind the implementation, but the news could give us a spike in the short term, maybe.

facebook and exciting? i dont think so.

Not promising news? It's a neat step forwards. I think it might have a little bit of potential but I can't quite put my finger on why...

It's not that big

You have to first go on another site and log on there

It will be big when you can send directly on facebook though

Hehe. That's fair enough. Facebook is all but dead to me at this point. But it is bullish news nonetheless. Glad to see more and more good news piling up for bitcoin.

I sent small amounts to 6 -7 friends.

2 messaged back enquiring about it and another, who i didnt send to, also wanted to know what it was.

awesome, didn't know this was live yet. hopefully this will help bitcoin reach an entirely new demographic! the old farts that have taken over facebook.... :D

ugh I hate Facebook. They'll probably end up banning it until the app developer modifies it so that they can place ads all over it and take a cut out of the payments.

i'm just waiting for the wrath of mark zuckerberg to come down on this bitcoin app. i would expect this to happen if only to spite the winklevoss twins. hopefully not...

There is a bitcoin integrated wallet on Facebook  :o
This most certainty is worth Bitcoin discussion
My opinion is this is great I just hope they don't become a neobee

To be honest, I am kind of surprised it took this long for an app like this to be developed. Is this the "killer app" we've been waiting for? I sure hope so. And yes, let's hope Zuckerboy doesn't fuck it up.

This is a good thing. You should sent at least
a small amount of bitcoin to everyone
you know. This is all about distribution
of coins and awareness.

Not THE killer app (which is probably to do with wealth preservation, obfuscation and transportation and balance settlements between large corporations). but one of the key applications right below that.

I used it today, it seemed to work, although it could have been done much better. They still have some bugs in their graphical user interface. Also, their inter-customer transactions should have no fee. It's sort of weird that they make a new bitcoin transaction when one customer sends bitcoins to the other one within the borders of their system.

I would personally never trust my coins with Facebook.

That isn't a good choice to integrate Bitcoin on Facebook.

There will be much problem of safety, because many people insert easy password on their Facebook account. So, thief will increase if this happen  ;D

Well it does seem a bit risky, that said if they used cold storage and proper security measures a reputable company would be fine
Although the NSA knowing what your balance is or asking it is a turnoff for certain.
Edit: Your right I would not trust my coins with them given their privacy policies

haha finally my nonbeliever friends on facebook are close to wakeupcall

Privacy would be the biggest concern.

Another big concern is that facebook accounts get hacked all the time. I can't tell you how often I get spam from people on my friends list that is clearly some kind of spam bot, their account is later recovered and I see a status apologizing. 

I know what you mean I have gotten a few spam mails from the contact list selling Product X or Product Y
That said I can't see them messing cold storage if their is no balance on the account so to me it is a measure of how they do the transactions
If its just log into FB then spend its a weak system
If it log into FB get email notification to verify transaction and a 24 hour rule before you can change the address you want to send bitcoins to (As a settings option)

Then it could be fairly secure, that said if they know all your transactions and history then the points above are moot lol.
You may have security but not privacy lol.

Unless it was darkcoin or something with a coinjoined client that they can merge transactions into lol.

I always thought Facefuck would come out with it's own shitcoin long before they adopted the real thing.

its called facebook credits  ;D

Even a 24 hour rule would probably not work. People often post where they are going to be to the public. People often say they will not be on Facebook for "x" amount of time (for lent for example, but for other reasons too - like a vacation where they will not have internet access). If someone were to find a way to hack a Facebook account, wait until they know they will not be checking their facebook for a 24+ hour period, then they could easily get away with all of a user's funds.
