I'm proud to be an American where I used to be free! God Bless the USA!!!

collectivism is ugly

be an individual

The government gets the benefits that McDonalds generates too.

The only tie the US government has to the private Federal Reserve Bank is that it gets to choose the anointed head of the Federal Reserve whom is chosen from a list of the presidents of those private Federal Reserve Banks.

It would be like saying that McDonalds is a government restaurant if the US president was allowed to choose the CEO from a list of 12 vice-presidents.  (and that CEO did not have any special privileges as a majority vote of those 12 VPs would be required to do anything).

I have not seen instawallet. Sounds like a pretty decent solution.

Not sure how to get to the link through the .gov site. I found it through DailyPaul:

Just heard Bitcoin mentioned as an alternative currency along with silver, gold etc..

If I were to send my mom an e-mail right now saying "Hey, I have 5 Bitcoins for you. I need you to go to bitcoin.org and download the client, then send me the address it gives you, then I will send it to you." it would seem like more of a hassle than a gift.

If instead you got an e-mail that said "You just received 5 Bitcoins from Michael with the following message: 'Happy Birthday'. To spend these Bitcoins click here to download the Bitcoin client and here to retrieve your coins (Save to XYZ folder)."

"Once you have done so, here is a list of recommended sites for you to spend your Bitcoins..."

Easy coordination for the person sending, there is no back and forth between sender and receiver.

I agree that the middle man thing sucks. But it would be more of money flowing through as opposed to large quantities of BTC sitting at some company's server.

Here is a thought:

How about a site where you can e-mail Bitcoins to someone.

Basically, you enter the receiving e-mail address and how much you want to send. Then you include whatever text or maybe a flash birthday card or whichever.

Then the site creates an address and you send the BTC to that address.

The recipient gets an e-mail with instructions on how to download the wallet and how to set up Bitcoin.

This would be more for a marketing type of setup where you can send mom or dad or whomever a few Bitcoins, whether it is for a special occasion or you just want to introduce them to Bitcoins.

Yes, this would require that a third party site has access to the wallet. It would be for small quantities and just for introduction to newbies so instructions could also include how to set up their own secure wallet and how to transfer from the temporary wallet to their own wallet.

If the recipient does not ever access their wallet...the money goes back to the sender (tell the recipient that they have X days to claim the Bitcoins).

There is plenty of potential for profit from the e-mailing company whether through fees for sending or just advertising to people who have Bitcoins to spend as free money.

And it would help to spread the word.

Any thoughts? Is this possible?

Been working on something for my wife's Boutique.

Initial setup has stickers for her price tags:



More to come soon...

People are individuals with their own thoughts and ideals.

End the collectivist groupthink.

What happen?

Someone set us up the bomb.


Make your time.

Placed my $10 trades on the 25th (unfortunately the high went up to 10.19 and I missed the fall on those)

I had a few sells set up at $10.2 that never got touched.

I just checked my wallet and my credit card is missing.

More Bitcoins for me.

Someone set us up the bomb.

I saw one purchase of over 5,000 BTC fly up the screen...
