Hello board,
i m looking for reliable exchangers who can sell my btc for WU/MG or bank wire transfers to India...can any experienced members suggest a few exchangers.
ECurrencyZone will accept bitcoin for funding a bank transfer (INR): - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/ECurrencyZone <-- Fairly new, but they've supported bitcoin method for a while now and I know of no complaints. As far as paying for a Western Union transfer with Bitcoin, see: Bitcoins in Berlin, WM-Center or ECurrencyZone: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Selling_bitcoinsThere are individual traders who can send a bank transfer: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=89.0 |

With that i guess i would appreciate someone with more information on it
“GPG” stands for “Gnu Privacy Guard" and is has the functionality of PGP less some proprietary stuff GPG users don't really need. GPG is used with Bitcoin affiliated services because it is open source, can be used anonymously, and works well for protecting from unauthorized access. Bitcoin.org software releases include GPG keys of those who built it to ensure the software is authentic and not tampered with. The #bitcoin-otc IRC channel uses a GPG-based authentication method (gribble) and reputation/trust history system -- its Web of Trust (Wot). You might see this trust history in third party services also, such as with trader profiles on LocalBitcoins. All orders through MPEx exchange are transmitted as GPG signed messages. You might see GPG-signed messages in the forums, especially for offers and acceptances, as these are legal agreements and a digital signature can be just as good as a wet ink one. The benefits don't come without a cost however. And the main cost is convenience. If you receive an encrypted e-mail and you accessing your e-mail from a mobile phone in which you did not install GPG (or transfer over your private key) then you will not be able to read that e-mail until you are back on a device with GPG and your private key. So step 1 to using GPG is to install the software and generate a key (assuming you don't already have one). Which software you use will depend on your operating system: - http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/GPG_authentication#Third-party_guidesBefore you actually start using GPG for anything, make sure you have backed up your GPG private key and your revocation certificate (and store that backup in a secure place): - http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN513Then, instruction from there will depend on what you want to do next. For the -otc Web of Trust (WoT), you'll need to register your key with the gribble bot: - http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/GPG_authentication#Encryption-based_authentication_via_GPG_key_with_the_botIf you want to encrypt e-mail, the instructions will depend on which e-mail program or service you use. You can always manually encypt using the command line tools, and then paste the encrypted message in your message (e.g. using ASCII armored mode) or attach it as a file. |

I've heard people complain that it took them more than 7 days, Heh. I'm pretty sure that is far, far outside the norm. Recently on a really, slow old computer (Atom processor if I remember correctly) I hit about 30 hours. If your operating system bogs down with a screen saver, or stops the hard drive on inactivity, or goes to sleep then any of that will, of course, cause a significant delay in syncing. Other delays can occur in using older versions (pre-v0.7) of the client. I've heard people claim that they were done in less than 2 days.
This specific problem reported is probably past benefiting from this, but now the client can take a bootstrap.dat that is downloaded as a torrent. Simply put that in the bitcoin folder, launch bitcoin and wait. Other performance tweaks involve using -connect=[a well connected node] so that the client isn't doing its random peer selection while you are trying to get the blockchain. SSD hard drives are good as speeding things up too. Really good. |

I just wanted to mention that a skilled blockchain.info admin can perfectly steal your funds. He just needs to change the javascript sent to your browser in order to get your password.
That is true. If you are running the Javascript verifier, it will alert you to this happening though: - https://blockchain.info/wallet/verifierBut few people run that -- a password-stealing change like you describe would probably go undetected if it were attempted (against a single targeted individual). This is a good thought exercise here though. What if this were a hosted Bitcoin EWallet, lets say, and something like this happened? The hosted EWallet provider could simply adjust your balance to recover the 5 bitcoins that were accidentally sent to you. They would have the technical ability to confiscate funds. Now I don't know if this has ever happened but technically it is possible. And if this were a bank where something like this happened (e.g., someone else's deposit went into your account) I guarantee you they'ld reverse the transaction immediately instead of just politely and firmly asking for a voluntary return of the funds. A bank might even send its ex-military security officer to ensure the safe return of the funds after they've screwed up: - http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/93a47a62-daf0-11e1-8074-00144feab49a.htmlThat this incident occurred in the first palce reminds me of Stanislav's admonition: The real laugh is that there is no solid reason to believe that the world’s national banks have seen it fit to sweat so much as one drop to vanquish Bitcoin through discreditation. Bitcoin users themselves have been doing a thorough job of this.

It says that I am 89.9% done with 21,305 blocks remaining but how long should this take?
This will vary based on your hardware and other factors (e.g., if using an encrypted filesystem). If you can't wait for it to sync, you have options. You can import the private key for the address that the funds were sent to using another type of client or perhaps an EWallet service so that there is no start-up time. For instance, the Blockchain.info/wallet hybrid E-Wallet has a method to import a private key. So while your Bitcoin-Qt client is downloading you can go to the debug window and enter the commands to export a private key for the one address. Then import it into Blockchain.info/wallet. And you can spend the funds right away. The next version of the Bitcoin.org client (v0.  has been completely redesigned as far as how the data is stored and accessed, and the initial installation and sync can be as quick as an hour or so (with beefy hardware). For some people, even that is too lengthy so alternate options include using an Simplified Payments Verification (SPV) client (e.g,., MultiBit or Bitcoin Wallet for Android), or a lite client like Electrum or Bitcoin Spinner, hosted (shared) EWallets, or a hybrid E-Wallet like Blockchain.info/wallet: - http://Blockchain.info/walletBut if you can wait, you are already fairly close to where you only need to leave the client run a bit longer so it can finish up syncing. |

no, I don't see any option where BitInstant can send TO dwolla
Also, Dwolla USDs are Dwolla USDs. So if you send the funds through BitInstant and they end up at Mt. Gox, couldn't you withdraw the USDs from Mt. Gox via Dwolla and then transfer from there to Camp BX? If I remember correctly, Mt. Gox prefers that the USDs deposited turn at least once (e.g., used to buy bitcoins) but I don't think there is a technical mechanism that would prevent you from immediately withdawing any Dwolla funds that you've deposited. Though ... Mt. Gox already often has a backlog for withdrawals using Dwolla, so if you need this for arbitrage it probably wouldn't work. Maybe doing a trade, your MTGUSDs for someone else's Dwolla USDs, from there will work for you. |

the french site www.nfc-smartags.com where you can buy all of your NFC tags, and more payment I accept bitcoin! ! I added an item to my cart (nice animation on that! :-) ) and got to the part it asked for me to register or login. I didn't see any reference to bitcoin though ... does that come after I login or is it only manually processed at this point? I invite you to come discover my site to help you realize the possibilities offered by the NFC
I described a potential Bitcoin variation of an existing NFC application in another thread: The problem that PayBand solves is that you can show up to the event without carrying cash and to get access to the "fast service" lanes at the concessions.
The problem with PayBand is that you must have an account with BarclayCard to use it. Using bitcoin to load funds means this can be offered by a party that isn't a bank.
I can see it being used at events or tourist destinations even, particularly with ones where you are active and carrying a physical wallet / purse are not convenient.

private information (phone number) has been disclosed from the blockchain.info database.
Source? [Edit: What you are probably assuming is that the person's info (phone number) posted in another thread came from blockchain.info. It did not. Blockchain.info doesn't hold that information regardless. Oops, forgot, if you have SMS notification then they do have that information.] |

Two days later he starts getting all these bad ratings. He'll probably come back under a new name. #bitcoin-otc Nick HistoryYou can see his history of names there. Looks like he's too stupid to change his IP address between nick changes, leaving a lot of potentially useful history. Oh wow. That's one of those impersonation attempts. (using a slight variation of a nick of a user with a good trust history). 2012-12-16 23:03:37 CST 1355720617 JOIN Azelphur_ [otc] #bitcoin‑otc |

Ive been working on an exchange for BTC/SGD and would appreciate if any members would be interested to assist me in beta-testing the exchange. Here are some candidates who might be willing to test it out: - https://localbitcoins.com/country/SG |

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought they had, just like they do for PayPal. I wonder why not, ... it would seem easy enough for them to add that method. |

Remember when Kyt Dotson's articles on Bitcoin also seemed to focus only on the sensationalist aspects of Bitcoin?
Good to see this rational discussion though.

Since inclusion of this tx in the block requires the 0-confirm tx to also be included it would be a protocol compatible way to "pay a fee after the fact". However it requires the bitcoind or other software used by miners to be "smart" enough to notice that tx X has no fee but the output of tx X is the input for tx Y which does have a fee and thus there is value in including both in the memory pool for the next block.

No, as rules concerning prescription medicines vary country to country. Only illegal drugs are banned here.
So Retin-A, which requires a prescription in the U.S., is OK to sell here. Heroin Xanax requires a prescription in the U.S. Can that be sold here as well? [Edit: Heroin was a bad example, as a Schedule I drug it is not available for purchase wtih a prescription. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Substances_Act#Schedule_I_drugs ] I'm just trying to understand what the difference between the two is. |
