Sorry this one didn't work out - I tried it out a bit when it launched and liked it, a very nice interface. Really hope it can get taken forward somehow.
It feels like Flattr is struggling to really "take off" as well, but something in me likes the idea of tipping and wonders why it's so difficult to get going. Maybe people are just used to the free model these days, or maybe it is just about critical mass and ubiquity.

Quick bump - new photo added, and (probably) the only place you can buy redscaled film with Bitcoins. If anyone else is reading, I'd be interested to know if you would be interested in downloading high-res files of photos, rather than buying prints...? I might experiment with some other photos on coindl soon.  |

Subbing as interested too. If I ever get some disposable cash  |

Thanks for that - I'll take a look. I kind of prefer selling finished prints, rather than downloads, but also got a few e-books I could add there  |

Interesting! Works for me (Win 7) up to point 6 that returns: results[0].geometry.location.lon = function() { return this.lng(); }
ReferenceError: results is not definedHmm, I got that if I hadn't pressed the Submit button yet - but I suspect it may also happen if it can't find the place you've entered. Make sure you've entered a location, and try being more specific if you have? In theory you could probably submit the form from another page, but TBH localbitcoins.com looks like it might have more dev power behind it... |

Fancy chocolates and UK based? Great stuff - I'm expecting the BTC/GBP rate to start jumping Will have to give the ordering system a test soon, I think... |

Funny, I was just looking at this today. Seems there's just some outdated Javascript stopping it from working - I managed to add myself after some tinkering in Chrome: 1. In Chrome, enter your details but hold off from submitting. 2. View Chrome's Developer Tools pane (via the View > Developer menu on Mac) 3. Click "Scripts" and open "application.js" under www.tradebitcoin.com > javascripts in the left hand menu 4. Click the line number on line 158 to set a breakpoint (the line that says "latitude = results[0].geometry.location.lat();") 5. Line 159 is the one we need to change (the lon() function doesn't exist). Click "Submit" on the page to run up to the new breakpoint. 6. The code should stop - go to the "Console" tab and enter "results[0].geometry.location.lon = function() { return this.lng(); }" (without quotes). Hit enter and you should see the function echoed back. 7. Go back to "Scripts" and press F8 to continue. "Profile Updated" should appear on the page and you should be saved on the site. Works for me, YMMV. Cheers, Scribe |

Hi all, Been selling photos on Etsy for a while (or trying to ;-) but finally made the move to accepting Bitcoins - BTC amount quoted on request, but exchange rate seems fairly stable now, which is nice... Have a look here if you're interested: http://www.etsy.com/shop/anothertreeAll photos available in small/medium/large, but only listing small size for the moment - each size limited to a set run. Also planning to add more items soon. Photos come mounted but not framed, unless requested - just ask if any questions. Cheers for looking :) - scribe  |

Yep, +1 - great stuff. Just need to clear some space from my phone now |

Thanks cbeast. Didn't sell for BTC in the end, but feels good to make the offer. Searching descriptions for "accept bitcoins" seems useful for other items too, even if there's not a huge amount of items that get returned, in the UK at least. I hate ebay, but it's got the audience. Seems to make sense to post there and accept BTC, rather than on a BTC-specific site and not get any sales...  |

Got a day and a bit left to run on these old Amiga posters on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320804066696?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1202In the interests of research, I thought I'd offer to accept Bitcoins. Are there any current "best practice" guidelines about doing so though? Obviously without some third party, the seller has to trust me to deliver the goods once they pay, but curious to know if there are ways to increase trust, etc. And how does raising a claim on ebay work if using Bitcoins/anything other than Paypal? Cheers for any info/ideas/links... |

I got as far as determining that this was a block of executable code. Poking at it, I decided this, because it contains lots of patterns that start with the same byte, that are two- and three- bytes long, very much like what you'd expect to see in an executable binary. (I have written assembly code in the past, perhaps this is the programmer audience they are targeting)
I started googling, and found comments consistent with that interpretation. I didn't bother to go past trying to execute the code, but I notice somebody had written a C program that poked the bytes into memory and then called them as though it were a function, and then scraped whatever it left behind in the memory. The program seemed to suggest that this is x86 code (must be run in a 32-bit process).
Been looking at this today. There are too many patterns between the left and right halves to be coincidence, IMHO. Interesting challenge, anyway. Better than the usual "solve some boring transposition" challenges. |

Those are the two trades:
Jun 22, 2011, 22:14:01 5000.00000 0.00
Jun 22, 2011, 22:13:02 500.00000 0.01
Probably someone spending a fiver to test the trade-matching algorithm posted here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=4984.msg260989#msg260989(I'm guessing the first trade was for 0.001 BTC, or Britcoin lets you buy 0 bitcoins?) I've always assumed I'm posting an offer I'd like to deal at, rather than some kind of minimum/maximum level. Seems fairly straightforwards IMHO. |

It's always good to be a little paranoid either way - crypto & source code attacks aren't the only attacks on Bitcoin.
The BTC economy is in its infancy and is in a good period to test out its dynamics - both intended and unintended. There are vanloads of laws around established currencies and market trading for good reason (i.e. to stop themselves imploding), but very few of these apply to Bitcoin as it stands, so I can imagine both individuals and companies looking for ways to exploit it.
Way I see it, some exploits will benefit individuals but not affect the overall sustainability of Bitcoins, while others will attack Bitcoins as a functioning economy. Are technical protocols enough to withstand or circumvent either or both? Maybe the true test of Bitcoin won't be how spread out individual nodes are, but how much the Bitcoin community establishes new controls and agreements on top of it.
Whether or not NO_SLAVE has sources, it'd be foolish to pretend everyone is in it for the long-term survival of Bitcoins.
p.s. Surely Bitcoins are more of a threat to other net-payment services like PayPal at the moment?

BTW is anyone in London and want to meet up later? We might get a pizza or something with a few other community members.
Would love to meet up one day, but split between Brighton and being somewhat nomadic currently. |
