That would be great for all the iphone users!!!  There must be a lot! I would say if you focus on simple - user friendly - clicking no typing, i might even get an iphone myself to make use of it.

Can some moderator moderate this please.  Remove will be nice - these people are getting a platform right on top of the forum topics.

Typical joe/jane:  I can't wait for a facebook application that allows me to transfer to my friend with my blackberry with btc's to make up for my share of the bill at the restaurant.  The app writer, as well as the person who referred me to this convenient method to transfer btc's to my friend can take a small fee on the transaction - as well.  I'm not interested in running a client - because i don't even mine on my blackberry.  I just want to give to my friends sometimes, easily on facebook with no complicated addresses - just their facebook names please!!!

Aren't you asking a poll from an audience (technical) who would not necessarily be your entire user base?  Is ease/simplicity important for the technically inclined?

That's the beauty of open source - everything is in the light for everybody not just for the enlightened ones.

Remember  to  pay  your  taxes  on  the  profits  you  received  on  your  Bitcoin  Digital  Cryptographic  Certificate  Rights  barter  trades.  Bitcoin  looks  like  a  highly  efficient  accounting  system.

Maybe Bitcoiners  should  not  refer  to  Bitcoin  as  anonymous.  As  this  is  a  misconception,  it  is  not,  there  is  a  blockchain  recording  each  and  every  transaction.  If  Bitcoin gets  to  a  point  of  full  regulation,  any  Bitcoins  that  can
 not  be  accounted  for  of  how  it  was  acquired,  can  easily  be  blacklisted  on  the  network  by  being  spent  to  zero  into  the  questioned  owner's  Government's  Treasury's  account.  A  gst  transaction  tax  allocatable  to  originating  ip  address'  Government  can  also  be  introduced  on  each  btc  transfer.

Bitcoin's  fluidity  of  transfer  is  progress  in  a  lot  of  ways  to  mankind.

To  use  the  criminal  activities  of  a  few  individuals  as  an  excuse  to  protect  your  vested  interest  in the  backward  status  quo  is  counter  productive.

The  best for  them  would  be  to  buy  into  progress.

Bitcoin  LAUNDERING,  which  is  not  a  standard  feature  of  Bitcoin,  is  troublesome  -  and  not  Bitcoin.  Through  the  blockchain  it  easy  to  prove  how  you  acquired  Bitcoin.  Much  easier  than  to  proof  where  you  acquired  cash,  without  the  accompanying  paperwork.

Unfortunately my programming skills are lacking.  You do not know of any such existing app plugin on the open Facebook platform?  With regards to competition with Facebook credits - Facebook credits are for online games - not for transfer between friends, so it will be fulfilling in another need of Facebook users.  It will actually make Facebook much more usable to a wider audience - enabling Facebook for Paypal-like transfers between friends.  So maybe Facebook will actually embrace the even more traffic it will be enjoying from such a combination of technologies.  But this is all speculation, and what and if scenarios - ultimately if something has use with a mass appeal - it usually succeeds, if no mass appeal, it does not succeed.

Can someone build such an application of Facebook's open platform?  There can even be a default commision% be built in for the developer on all transfers.  Wouldn't it be really useful and easy to use with widespread appeal?

Has anybody started work yet on a Bitcoin application, plugging into Facebook to facilitate btc transfer between Facebook friends and subtracting a small commission to the app's introducer's bitcoin address (which gets programmed into the app when it got passed on / referred to the friend)?  Where can you get hold of such an application?  As I would like to introduce a few of my friends and add my btc address to the destination address for commissions.

Can Private keys from a wallet be extracted and imported individually from a wallet?  That may make BTC web deployment more mobile as you would be able to cart your keys along from one web BTC client provider to another.

The pruner will have a lot of power manually manipulating the blockchain bookkeeping!! How will this be checked - will all the clients running on everybody's machines do the pruning and check each other.

For that matter all previous transactions up a few branch levels in the spending tree can be ommitted if the majority of the clients agree on this.

An arbitrary number of three branch levels and 6 confirmations x 3 = 18 confirmations (3 hours) should be enough.  This will allow plenty of scalibiliy.  Backup copies of every 3 hours pruning can be kept for back auditing the network's integrity.  This may allow for a lighter client and a heavier client with slower pruning intervals.

mndrix: 

When selling BTC, you could maybe pursue becoming a merchant accepting Credit Card payments for BTC digital cryptographic key rights, and not process your credit card customer's purchases through Paypal. 

Then when you buy BTC digital cryptographic key rights, you could maybe still pay your sellers with paypal because of your good reputation with your BTC sellers - that you will not reverse any paypal payments.

BTC being anonymous is open to discussion, BTC being an e-currency and not maybe just plain digital cryptographic key rights is open to discussion.

Does anybody have experience in setting up an online store accepting credit cards and not just paypal, giving paypal's adversity to digital cryptographic key rights called BTC?  ( see http://coincard.ndrix.com/ ).  A credit card transaction should not be charged back if you are sure it is the rightful owner of the card transacting, buying the digital cryptographic key rights - as you will be able to prove delivery to the BTC address provided by the customer by pointing it out on the blockchain history, and doing your ip logging and all that.

I think they were involved in Banking secrecy where the US IRS requested their US customers' banking details and the Swiss even held a referendum on whether they will honour the request (Due to famous legacy Swiss banking secrecy and confidentiality).  Amongst other things they are involved in wealth management, investment, currency trading and online banking enabling online transfer of currency - but mostly for someone with a minimum account size of say $10k to $100k or about 1 100BTC to 11 000 BTC at current cost.

As soon as it can be done, and everybody knows it can be done, and everybody want to do that, some other people will also find a way to do that and if it becomes open source (just like the gpu miner) - everybody will be doing that and the network hash rate will just supercharge as it did when graphics card mining were introduce - and the system will balance itself around the new competition factor - even securing the system even more against an attacker not using such a hash algorithm (if it exists!!!  )

Judged by all the one to multiple address transaction it should be a service provider on the Bitcoin network of some sorts, it could be mybitcoin.com , or deepbit mining pool , or mtgox , or just a rich paranoid privacy concerned individual splitting and consolodating and transferring his BTC.  Very unlikely, but investigation is warranted, someone could have double spend himself up to that amount by gaining control of the network with a botnet - but then that would have shown as a spike in the network hash here when it happened:

http://bitcoin.sipa.be/

Also if you add all the major mining pool's network hash power (see bitcoinwatch.com) - it equates roughly to the network total, and nobody at present has a majority to override network algorithm rules and accept his own double spend.  This again shows how important it is for the network integrity that it is decentralized and not monopolized/centralized under one major mining pool.

Or it could be something/someone hiding and double spending in the "Other" category of miners as shown on bicoinwatch.com , doubt that though - it is only fairly recent development when deepbit mining pool went down, but definitely worth inspecting by the blockchain inspectors!!

Looks like the one-way street mining statement is afterall not true - network hash has decreased!!! - maybe some miners felt that they will rather use their capital equipment for other activities until the market reaches fair value for the network's efforts.  (Or maybe that teacher using his school's equipment got caught  ) Or maybe because deepbit mining pool might experience technical difficulties (not showing up on bitcoinwatch.com network hash pie chart at present?!?)

With the previous mentioned valuation calculation assumptions, the current decreased network hash of 3.459 Thas/sec translates to $9.06 / BTC, with market prices currently at $8.78.  The point where miners will start firing up their engines again, might indicate where the average miner feel fair value lie for there effort of maintaining the network.

Actually the GUI of the client, just need to shift all decimal places of everything Bitcoin value related, at least one digit for the next release, and say that there will ultimately be a total of 210million, of your fractions of the Bitcoin basket in existence in future.

I'm  talking  about  the  amount  of  interest  people  are  showing  in  Bitcoins  with  their  mouse  clicks.  Same  goes  with  the  website  traffic  comparison  of  paypal.    All  methods  of  online  exchange  -  some  with  more friction  to  use/new  adopters  and  some  with  less.
