I used to work for ebay way back in the day. The model is totally outdated somebody needs to think outside ebay's monopoly and build a unique site.

Since bitcoin price fluctuates every few seconds you can't list everything in BTC, it has to be in a currency that when you go to checkout generates the current price of BTC and asks you to transfer that. Then people can list any currency they want.

Since paypal is basically it's own escrow system buyers on ebay trust that they won't get scammed, since they can easily get their funds back should they receive something they didn't order so said auction site would have to use escrow but fuck me I would *not* want to be the unlucky admin in charge of such a site. You can' t imagine the endless legal threats and scams you would have to battle. There's nothing stopping me from ordering a digital camera off a bitcoin auction site, then claiming I received something else in the mail with zero way to prove it. This kind of scam runs rampant on ebay, same with feedback scamming/threats, sellers making syndicates to wipe out new competition by fraudulently ordering the new guy's items and making all sorts of claims to shut their account down...

What would work is a live auction but you'd need establish buyers to make it worthwhile. Ritchie Brothers Auction is a good site to learn how to do an auction, ignore ebay.

Such a site would certainly have to be hosted outside the US, outside their domain yanking control as well. A bulletproof host in China or something so if some guy starts selling fake/stolen louis vuitton bags you don't end up arrested for running the site

Buy starbucks gift cards with bitcoin problem solved.

Damn you Libertarians trying to replace your nation state currency with bitcoin, therefore angering the secret service who will no doubt work to destroy this . To me bitcoin is a way to anonymously transfer money, and an easy way for merchants to take payments online avoiding chargebacks, avoiding high priced and exclusive payment gateways, avoiding payment contracts where they dictate what you can and can't sell, and centralized bullshit like Liberty Reserve.

There's already a giant thread where Gavin talked about this, what he did in the meeting, what they asked him about ect.

If SOPA passes google will start censoring wholesale more than they already do now. I've already noticed a sweeping ban of copyright vids that used to come up in video searches that have all disappeared and replaced with links to paid Amazon content

This is an awesome idea, except they host with xlink which in turn is getting domains from networksolutions (US company) which means this project is doomed should SOPA pass. Any time they want the US corporate gestapo can have all their domains pulled. Should have built it foreign/european from the ground up

They are different depending if google.ca/google.com/google.uk ect.
Google also traps your previous searches/keywords and uses that to feed you suggestions, so if you were just on a martial arts page or something you'll see some of that creepy tracking being fed into suggestions.

If you're looking for a way so whenever somebody searches for a certain keyword they get your link to a youtube vid start making wordpress blogs with backlinks to your video and other SEO tricks (syndk8, blackhatworld, warriorforums) ect.

Since you're mining make up a bitcoin mining ebook, then pimp it on warriorforums 'special offers' forum and upload it to Amazon kindle. Place is crawling with make money online books

CINFU has always worked for me they have dirt cheap VPS and take bitcoin
Located in Uk/Germany, under $5/mth

Kalyhost I've used before and are good too. You can use whoever you want, like 2x4 hosting in Russia, then just get somebody here to change your bitcoins in WMZ and pay them directly

Yeah I do need a #bitcoin-otc ID.
Was going to wait til I started selling GPUs there

I generally run

Host (debian)
2 OpenBSD instances to lock down internet facing applications
1 Debian instance to set up online stores/play around in.

So max 3. I also load up pirated XP sometimes simply to stream live sports flash not supported by FlashVideoReplacer or SOPcasts but would shut down the other guest o/s's. 90% of the time it would be two OpenBSD guest o/s I do almost everything in it

Sure, since I already borrowed off you many times ^_^


Thanks for the offer. I'll be back for more after paying this loan off once my glbse offers are up. I make income in corp bank deposits then have to convert it all to BTC. Takes me one week to get money from Belize to here to make deposits without paying the ridiculous $75 wire fee ($50 to send, $15 for my shitty bank to receive)

I have to buy a system specifically for virtualization anybody have recommendations? I've already narrowed down the hardware to all OpenBSD/GNUlinux compatible hardware except wondering if there's any significant difference between AMD64 vs Intel64. Googled info presents arguements from 10 years ago from various fanboys presenting zero evidence of said claims

Hihi

Require yet another BTC loan up to 35 BTC max.
Whoever lends 5BTC I will repay 7BTC (if you lend 10, I'll repay 14)

Repayment Friday, 20 January (most likely repaid Thursday evening, but one day added so I'm not late)
This is to buy additional hosting for my various schemes. When it becomes a well oiled python scripted machine I'll open it up on GLBSE paying crazy returns.

I think it did, one huge loan went through and floodgates opened now

MtGox (or somebody here) should use trustcash.com payment gateway. Has over 10,000 cash deposit spots in the US plus the checkout cart thing takes care of everything, no people depositing cash and screwing it up not keeping the receipt or wrong account ect. Just ask them what bank's they use and get an account there for instant near realtime deposits.

If you wanted to sell for credit cards it's possible but only if you use a 100% chargeback insurance like cashrun.com and had a huge float of coins sitting around while you wait to get cleared funds into your merchant account (takes like 3-5 days). For extra chargeback protection could charge the customer a registered letter fee, there are services in every country you can pay $5 to drop ship a registered letter with a code or something so you are at least somewhat protected.

Would still get chargebacks though, but I imagine if you jacked the fees up 10%+ could cover them easily. This of course only works if you found an 'Angel investor' and pimped your idea to them, and you aren't American, and you don't directly sell Bitcoin but a gamecard voucher or something that you can convert into BTC on the same site.

Might as well pay each other interest and fees instead of giving it to credit companies.

If they're dumps sell them for bitcoin then give the money away
All charities are at risk through paypal or CC for chargeback fees. If you wanted to ruin a charity you donate 30x through paypal then issue a chargeback for each transaction...they get hit with $35 fees every time regardless if all stolen accounts. This strategy was employed against Scilon anti drug charities with great success if I remember

There should be a donate to charity bitcoin page that's run by somebody bulletproof/trustworthy that also enables you to send money to prisoners. Dunno if anybody here has had to send cash to an imprisoned hacker friend in the US It's amazingly complicated and expensive

Anybody can open a Cavirtex account problem is cashing out the coins. If you live anywhere near the border just drive up and open an account in person you'll get one. HSBC if you have an account in the US will open you a CAD account. You could also mail order an account from ICICI Bank or something. They just need a $5 cheque from your American bank, and scanned documents. Good2go

If that fails ask http://www.canadianbitcoins.com/ to trade your virtex balance for mailed cash or something

You can use that service Bitinstant to buy into Tradehill with dwolla
Or at least you could last time I checked

Did you click the link in the spammer email and give them your login info?
I like how Pecunix is set up. You can still use it through Tor and they give you a 16-character PIK and without it withdrawing is useless.

still waiting to hear back from whoever is running strongcoin. tried cancelling and resending last 2 xfers and got some undefined error. hoping this hasn't turned into a mybitcoin scam...note to self trust no online wallet
