And lastly, I will start developing an Open Source Crowdsourcing site. Stay tuned for more.
Oh, ok. I'm glad that somebody more experienced is going to do this. However, if there's anything I can do to help with coding or testing, please keep me posted. PS: Still Alive
Great, now that song is stuck in my head again.  |

I haven't used the SCI myself, but looking at it, it seems that the key is to use the function mbc_encryptformdata()
If you look at the file sci-auto-sample.php in the toolkit, there's an example of how to use it at line 34. You should be able to just change the $amount variable to the price of the shopping cart.

BTW, how is it that they "carry no exchange rate volatility risk"? If they were paid in bitcoin at, say, $10 per BTC, and then bitcoin plunges in value the next month, won't they have lost money in that their revenue now does no longer buys as much of your work?
From what it sounds like, the retailer will accept Bitcoins (the price presumably changing with the exchange rate), and then exchange them with mndrix for the same rate. That way they get the same dollar amount no matter what the exchange rate is. |

I think that might be my second address. (Second letter 'u'?) I thought I had sent a message about it, but if not, I realized that I had another computer to sign up with. Please send to the same address as the first one (1PoVHxj8mAp5usekHiYkjabJ2zV1B9nZRt). Thanks!

I really like the idea, and I've been working on a design document the past couple days, but I just realized that none of the original posters have posted since the thread was resurrected. I'm kind of worried that nobody is interested in this project anymore. If anyone out there, especially the original posters, is still interested, please let me know!

It's not really necessary, if those small amounts become the most commonly used, client software could just shift the decimal place over. So 0.00000002 BTC becomes 2 Satoshi.
As a physics nerd, I'd be partial to calling them nano-Bitcoins. So, 0.00000002 BTC would be 20 nBTC.  |

I just happened to get a gpg key (1612F427271F5BF8) and register on bitcoin-otc tonight. I'm still new to it though.

Hey, it doubles the amount in my wallet.  |

Well, actually the thing is I don't want to give them a real email address, and they implemented a security against mailinator-like addresses.
I guess if that's all (you had me worried it was for some devious purpose), I'd be willing to do it for 0.05 BTC. (I'm desperate) |

Interesting...so if Person A creates an account with Company C and agrees to their ToS, and then Person B purchases Person A's account voluntarily, then is Person B bound to the ToS that Person A agreeded to with Company C?
Well, according to the actual ToS, Section 3.A: "You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account". So I guess that Person A is the one that's bound no matter what B does on A's account. |

If you don't mind me asking, why do you not want to agree to the Youtube user conditions?

Blogging capabilities with good access control over backers; Ex. A backer that gave 20 coins would not have the same access as someone who gave 200. I just want to make sure that I have the right idea in my head about this. Does this mean that the person who initializes the project (such as the graphic artist in the earlier examples) should be given a blog for the project with the ability to restrict what people see based on how much they've donated? (Perhaps for sneak peeks or something like that?) |

If there are any college or high school students around, I'm a senior Physics student, and I'm more than willing to help out anyone with math or physics homework for a few bitcents. Send me a message if you're interested. Thanks!

Oh, that's really good, I like the tone a lot. Can you expand on it?
What in particular would you like me to expand on? |

I'll take a stab at it:
Ubitex is a site that helps you to use your Bitcoins to do business with people near you. Currently, Ubitex is working to help you exchange your Bitcoins for U.S. Dollars (or other currencies), but many more possibilities are in store.
The way it works is simple. You simply enter what you're looking for and how far you're willing to travel, and Ubitex will allow you to connect with interested sellers. When you're finished, you can provide feedback to help recognize high-quality sellers and ensure safe and productive future business. Since Ubitex only helps you get in touch with potential clients, your private information will never be given out without your permission.

If nobody else has started really working on it, I suppose that I could make an effort. I'm still a student and not a terribly experienced programmer, but I love a challenge to learn new things and I happen to have a bit of free time on my hands at the moment. I'd even be willing to take a lower bounty adjusted for the difference in value between January and now, if you all would be willing to put up with my inexperience and perhaps throw a few pointers my way.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the first to wonder about this. Unfortunately, I'm brand new to bitcoins and making a site of my own seems quite daunting to a novice programmer like me. I'll definitely think about it though. Thanks!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Mechanical_Turk basically allows people to pay others to complete tasks requiring human intelligence from simple tasks like tagging pictures to more complex ones like transcription. Currently Amazon charges a 10% fee, a fair portion of which I assume goes to cover the cost of distributing funds. If bitcoins were used instead, I would think that you could charge a much more competitive fee. So are there any other sites like this? And if not, do you think it would be a good idea to make one?
