lol so you dumped 70k NMC all at once to us miners and the exchange prices didn't budge. Guess alot more people are holding on to it than expected.
I was surprised by that too. It was a nice bonus for me!

If only there was some automated way of transferring value.....
Quickly....
Internationally....
With almost no fees.....
I am at a total loss!
Oh wait.... again.... Why not just give the option of using the mtgox or tradehill rate, and send the user coins to their address if they like that option.

If you don't have success, try a prosper loan. It's pretty easy to get a loan funded there, especially for debt consolidation. I got a loan for $5k to buy a car that I wanted to fix and resell, got 11.5% interest rate (which wasn't too great, but was far better than my interest rates on the scammy credit cards I had), and it really worked well. The loan was fully funded by peers in just 24 hours, and I had the money in the bank in 7 days.
They offer down to 6.5% interest now (I think the minimum was 9.5% or so when I got my loan), so the service is definitely maturing and getting stronger. If you have good credit, you should be able to get close to that rate. And the interest goes mostly to peer investors, not banks.
EDIT: This wasn't the purpose of my post, but I just looked to see if they had a referral program, and they do. So if you DO want to go the prosper route, let me know so I can get you a referral link. It's $100 bonus for referring people, and I'd be willing to give you half of it if/when you sign up.
I may try that next month. I wanted the money to stay in this community but I also want to get it done too.

Boy I hate giving this money to Bank of America. Half a point ain't much to offer someone for tying their money up for almost a year. It's barely above a national bank free savings account. That coupled with the risk and well... 6% a year is many times the national savings bank rate. I am not sure what you are saying. You are quoting half a point then saying a year. It is half a point a month.

Offer the OPTION of taking BTC at the current rate of one of the other exchanges for withdrawals of USD. Also offer the OPTION of a check. Not everyone will want those options, but those will work for many.

Open to trade?
Probably not but what do you have?

Boy I hate giving this money to Bank of America. Then why did you borrow it from them in the first place? Considering the risks involved, I'll loan you the money but my rate won't be +0.5%. I'll consider +10%. They were giving lines of credit when others were not! The rate is .5% a month. Why would I pay loan shark rates when I already have the loan? I want to pay off the loan and pay less, not more!

I am selling this iPhone 4 for about $300 shipped USA. I am not changing the BTC price unless BTC leaves the $2.42-$2.73 range.
Included is the original box, manual and a brand new headphone, power block and cable all original apple. Also included is a used but very little wear Spec brand case. The unit has normal wear, minor scratches on screen from about a year of use. I will ship Priority mail tracked USPS to US customers included in price. Reason for sale, I received my new 4S. I am a known trusted seller and have sold over 100 items for BTC.
I will ship overseas, just add actual shipping cost.

When Patrick says 'network' he probably means what in the US is called distribution. I have now a separate power company that provides the 'generation' and another (the main one) that provides the 'distribution'. I can now pick the power generator from a choice of multiple vendors, and the price is about 10% less from some of them. The only problem is it takes a good deal of time to change one, like two months.

There is no reason offline currencies cannot be exchanged that are backed by bitcoin as well. Casascius coins are an example of what can be issued by a gub-o'mint that owns a stockpile of bitcoin. You don't even have to run the bank if you don't trust it. You can just convert the hard cash back to electronic form. Then you could be reissued coin or bills at the cost of whatever it takes to issue the physical form.
Never tried casascius coins, they don't seem durable to me, maybe I'm mistaken though... And what's up with bitbills? People are waiting in raw to order. What are they up to? Incompetence or big projects? Regular status updates would be nice. I accidently washed one and it survived. I did at least 25 meatspace transactions with bitcoin at the NYC bitcoin convention. Most paid with the android app but we also had Flexcoin and mtgox payments.

and the pool has hit 30k mined NMC have namecoin payouts started? I have my namecoin address in there for a day, so far nothing.

You can go by history and the value of the transaction. To be fair, there have been many places that STORE your bitcoins that have had problems, and many private sellers as well. There have been far fewer (but not zero) bitcoin ecommerce sites that have defrauded customers. BTCdeals.com is the only one I can think of off hand.
I would not buy expensive items from an unknown bitcoin ecommerce site until they have a track record.
