Traders' list has been moved to the wiki. |

Redirected bitcoin.org to bitcoin.it, at least the forum works now. For some reason this server was very slow even though only 50% mem and 5% cpu usage.

Interesting how Bitcoin already creates new e-business models  Such creativity. |

Maybe bitcoin.org should be a visually refined site (like mozilla.org) that has just the key points listed, plus links to the wiki and downloads? Wikis have a lot of text in a small font and are poor for 5 second impressions. The wiki is better for regular bitcoiners instead. Having the trade page in a wiki would be a relief. Who owns the main page anyway, is it Satoshi?
Satoshi owns the domain and I'm in charge of the server. |

I used to write "bitcoin.org" on every euro note that passed through my hands, but eventually forgot it. Time for a new campaign? |

Cool. What bank does this? If you don't mind sharing...
Every bank in Finland. Also, all banks here support instant, irrevocable online payments from their customers with a simple interface. There are 3rd party services that have accounts in every bank, let the customer choose which to use, and forward the payment to the merchant. It would be very useful if there was an international service like that. |

A bank does need something more than most other sites. I would be happy to pay a fee to have two-factor authentication on my MtGox account.
My bank snail mails lists of 300 one-use keys you need when logging in. A quicker but perhaps more expensive option is to send the keys in SMS. |

You could advertise this on anonymous channels like imageboards or chatroulette  Horny girls teaching you how to use Bitcoin. |

What an awesome thread! You guys have a ton of great ideas. Has anyone seen Silk Road yet? It's kind of like an anonymous amazon.com. I don't think they have heroin on there, but they are selling other stuff. They basically use bitcoin and tor to broker anonymous transactions. It's at http://tydgccykixpbu6uz.onion. Those not familiar with Tor can go to silkroad420.wordpress.com for instructions on how to access the .onion site. This has big publicity potential and could increase the user base. It's just a bit difficult for them to build reputation as most people don't want to publicly admit they bought from there. Maybe private recommendations will do. Or people can say "I know somebody who successfully bought from them". |

By the way, I optimized the vertical space usage a little bit.
The vertical optimization looks good. Simplified transaction status and address book tab are nice too. "At your address" should be "Your address", as balance and the shown address aren't related. What do you think should be in the Market menu? The description could be something prettier than a Bitcoin address. When sending a payment, the user could add a note to self, but in a way that can't be confused as a message to the recipient. We should add API options to the options panel. And maybe the option to add peers manually. |

Systems like this may be our biggest competitors, but they can also pave the way for mobile payments and the idea of "virtual currency". And we can get good ideas about how the UI should work.

Why not add sites to the list?
btcmart.com board.
Seconded. External link directories are welcome. Valam, if you want to make btcmart.com more inviting, you should translate the page title "Досква бесплатных объявлений". |

Hey, these are cool. You should make at least a simple website with samples and get added to /trade.

What do you think about Peter Thiel, the PayPal founder? Funds seasteading, calls himself a libertarian, attends Bilderberg and doesn't afraid of anything.
