What's going on? No bids and the price was driven extremely high. This doesn't look good.

Hehe, let's just say I had an inside tip  Glad you guys enjoy the pearltree. I'll continue to add links and organize it as best as possible. If anyone wants their site on the tree, sees one I missed or feels one belongs in a different category, PM me or leave a message here. |

Running just fine on Win7 64bit as well

Well, ebay already considers it currency. I don't want to wager, but you can go ahead and e-mail alertpay if you're interested in their opinion. I'm sure they'll promptly reply.

Good luck trying to convince Alertpay that. My bet is they'll still call it e-cash.

If you travel over to www.pearltrees.com/bitcoin, I've set up a web of bitcoin related links, directories, bookmarks, traders and everything else Bitcoin related. This is not limited whatsoever and is an ongoing process to put together everything from merchants using Bitcoin, to blogs that mention it. Bitcoin related twitter accounts and contacts. The goal is to find, arrange and put together a large array of different Bitcoin services and sites, all together in one place. By scrolling through the pearltree, you can see previews of the page, comments of specific sites, see how many others have it favorited, and can view Bitcoin bookmarks in a more visual manner, organized and grouped. By signing up with pearltrees you can also save any branch of the bitcoin pearltree and place it on your own for easy viewing and saving. This isn't only limited to a directory, but more of a categorization of bitcoin related bookmarks. If the idea is well-received, I will work on putting together even more links. |

Another bank account based payment processor that I found is Alert Pay. It is Canadian Based. It requires a business like MtGox to be verified, which will instill confidence with customers. It comes complete with API integration for the MtGox website. Credit Card based transactions is also possible for the brave - but those preferring more secure, non-chargeback transactions - bank transfers are offered. To get your FREE account with AlertPay, click on this link: https://www.alertpay.com/?hr8ZCMa6QOBJpH0tRiiz3w%3d%3dIf you do not mind, I will get referral fees if you click on the link, as I have also gone through a lot of trouble of searching for a true, fully international, western based, stable payment processor alternative to paypal. Hope this might assist you all in your international bank account transfer transaction dealings in Bitcoin. |

From Alertpay's User Agreement: 6.2. Activities Not Allowed
Using or selling any form of e-cash, web cash or other matter, tangible or not, that is redeemable by a Buyer for a product or service from a third party. Your alertpay will just be frozen. I do not recommend Alertpay. |

You mean like tangible goods? If you're trying to ship it to another address, you would have to convince the seller to allow it I'd think, but I don't think you'd have certain paypal protections if you did this.

Official word from ebay on selling bitcoins on their site:
Although Bitcoins is not a game currency, it is still
considered digital currency and it requires a peer-to-peer transfer as
all online currency. Therefore it is not allowed on eBay. Also,
Bitcoins would be considered currency because you can redeem it for
items.
Please do not list this item.
Thank you again for contacting us prior to selling your Bitcoins. We
appreciate that you choose to use eBay.
Sincerely,
Ning M.

Yeah, the spike is from the Slashdot article, not businesses accepting Bitcoins.

Last time I checked months ago, there wasn't enough data to make a chart. Glad it's finally showing some stats.
Google has quite a useful group of features. Another one to point out - Google Alerts. Get an alert on bitcoins, and any new sites that mention bitcoins will be shown to you.

You can already purchase facebook credits for games from facebook themselves. I don't think they would consider throwing their system away for one like Bitcoin.

I don't know about the Australian ebay, but tire money is available for sale on ebay here in the States as well.

What humans are you talking about? We have had to struggle throughout the generations, sure, for survival, yes. But don't confuse that with being 'evil'. Societies have always struggled to keep their keens safe, and while the concept of 'society' is a little too wide, and may mean the world, a country, a town or a home, the basic thing here is that all the 'evil doing' that is hardwired on our DNAs is actually just survival instinct.
Sure, that's all I meant. Survival instinct. At times when humans were struggling from meal to meal, not even close to an organized society, it was a necessity to be the "baddest motherfucker" in town. If you weren't, you'd starve. In that sense, I feel humans are naturally more evil than peaceful because we needed that in order to survive. Peace, outside our own group or family, didn't come until we realized people had stuff we wanted. Either way, it's still selfish. |

What is the getsatisfaction page for? Bitcoin in general?, Bitcoinmedia.com?

Not exactly responding to the quote, but I think humans are inherently evil. To be realistic, it's hardwired into our DNA from millions of years of survival of the fittest. Where you only lived if you fought for your stay. Living peaceful in society is nature vs. nurture. Forager vs. farmer. We are still inherently selfish and egotistical, but being nurtured in a community where we need to give in order to take, most people have learned to control their evolutionary predispositions.
My view is broad and not based on Bitcoin but I do not believe it or any other cryptocurrency to be a threat to society, only to government because they would lack the control they always desire.

It's not only the money, but the recognition. Recognition always plays a role. Being part of something new and exciting, and being part of a group that agrees with you on that.
People want to share/explore their own ideas, make a name for themselves, while making profit in the meantime. Bitcoin is a fantastic opportunity to do that.

It looks like Mt Gox has an API for Mt Gox users to send bitcoins directly to other Mt Gox users. So if it was ok with bitcoin4cash, then we could send cash to him and he could add bitcoins to a specific Mt Gox account.
What is the difference if bitcoin4cash just sends you bitcoins and you add it to mt. gox yourself? |
