Japan, but she'd need to be fluent in English and not sound like a gaijin character.

Even if Fiverr did allow BTC payouts, you can bet on US.gov forcing them to implement an AML/KYC and tax identification number scheme in order to continue effectively persecuting economic liberty.

Could they not move operations outside US borders?

I think Fiverr is based in Israel, but Team America World Police's jurisdiction extends to cover all sovereign lands.

Sorry to break he news guys but fiverr have been using Bitcoin for some time now.
Any gig that you buy can be paid with in BTC.

But you don't get paid in BTC.

I'm pretty sure that if enough people want to get paid in BTC, then they'd implement it pretty soon.
They have the existing framework and user base so not really hard to implement.

But then how could they justify continuing to charge their exorbitant fees?

They couldn't, so they have no economic incentive to allow BTC payouts.

Redundant topics, ugh... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=830600.0

I'd like to propose 1 XST = 1 satoshi.

I concur. There should be only two currency codes, and at the extremes, no half measures to confuse the fuck out of average people. The largest unit, 1 BTC=XBT, and the smallest subunit, 1 satoshi/0.00000001 BTC=XST.

We need to lock in the smallest subunit, the furthest point of divisibility. If 1 XST ends up being exchanged to $0.01 USD, then 1 XBT will be equal to $1,000,000 USD.

Clients should allow setting XBT or XST as the default display (with appropriate warnings), and pricing can be displayed both ways in the global marketplace. No changes in the way TXs are constructed in the background would be necessary.

And there goes the anti-civil rights/self-defense "ghost gun" FUD, right out the window.

We will most certainly reserve our right to develop actual functional, reusable polymer guns though, to deal with governments preparing to democide or otherwise solely disarm non-aggressors, for our bloodshed.
3532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A difference of opinions at the Bitcoin Foundation regarding the XBT proposal? on: October 22, 2014, 08:39:59 PM
I'm on the working group. There are lots of options for units to go with an ISO 4217 currency code. Would XBT = 100M satoshis (1 bitcoin) be better than XBI = 100 satoshis (1 bit)?

If XBT = 1 bitcoin, I don't foresee people writing 0.00098 XBT to describe the cost of bubblegum. People _might_ write 980 XBI though.

I think we need more community input on this choice. Can we get two currency codes? Doubtful, but is worth discussing.

Because true free market is as big of an utopia as communism is. We need state and police to keep people in check unfortunately.

We need people to keep the bloody tyrannical state and police in check.

No. To sell digital goods, you need to go through hell with API, developer account, separate accounts. Also a seller risks account termination and at the least, payment reversal, if trying to sell BTC as a physical good. There is no "say product delivered" that Amazon requires buyers to do. They will just assume that the product was delivered if the seller marked it as shipped, until...

a dispute and/or fraud, then Amazon will request proof of delivery, and effectively only signature confirmation restricted delivery to the name on the Amazon account will let the seller win.

And even if someone were to risk their account and payment reversal over this, the least fee'd section for sellers would require a $3.01 sales price+$6.99 shipping, incurring $2.69 in fees, and giving the seller $7.31 of your $10.

More trouble than worth.

Wow oO.... Something is telling me that BTCtalk could get into a lot of trouble for this.
Does really BTCtalk aprove this? Sell illegal weapons?

As far as I can recall, forum policy prohibits selling items that are illegal in the majority of countries...namely narcotics.
Promoting other products or services seem to be fair game, whether it be weapons or Ponzi Schemes (as a heated debated detailed many months ago).

There used to be a post with this sort of information in it somewhere on the forum.

Regarding the rifle, it may be illegal to own in (or ship to) other countries, but here in the States it's perfectly fine.
Yeah but that's the states, it's shipped from Romania. Can I put up an add for drugs here? Pretty sure selling AK 47 in the states online is illegal too.

It's not shipped from Romania, and merely advertising online is not illegal in the US.
