Added a link to a simplified summary of the paper for those who don't want to read through all the math.

Good idea. Your link appears to be broken though.

They start with the assumption only miners relay transactions.
That's exactly the opposite of what they wrote. What they are trying to improve is this: every node relays transactions, but only miners get paid (i.e. there is no incentive to relay a transaction. Actually, transaction fees are an incentive not to relay transactions)

Auctioning them at ebay is not a good idea. I occasionally use Bitmarket. Prices are a little off sometimes, but it works fine. bitcoin-otc is also nice, if you are into IRC and GPG.
Anyway, hopefully SEPA will be coming back to TradeHill soon.

Just make sure that the search results are good. Sometimes people feel the need to find something. They are less likely to feel it is a scam if they went out and looked for it.
Currently they're not great... But I like the slogan.

It is an interesting idea, but I am not sure if people would use it. Since it is against the ToS, people might not want to associate themselves with this kind of trades.

Maybe I'm not articulating this well. Is there anyone working on a smartphone website or app that simply asks to scan a QR code containing Bitcoin? I would like to be able to give someone a scratch-off card with bitcoin value that they can easily spend online to buy things like debit cards and gifts.
I don't think it exists, yet.

Aren't you in one of those places where electricity is "cheaper by the dozen"? The more you consume, the less you pay.
|
|
|
So you send them BTC and they convert it to USD? Has anyone tried?
|
|
|
and after i buy Linden Dollars where can i switch them to bitcoins?
TradeHill CampBX MtGox If you can wait a few days and do a bank transfer to one of those sites, you don't have to go through all that Linden Dollars trouble.

If you get no answers here. I would try the poweruser form on stack exchange. Just say it is a 7z file not need to talk about wallets or bitcoin. I have found stack exchange very helpful finding esoteric things.
You mean SuperUser

Too bad there's not a good way to get money into Tradehill quickly.
It would seem that if you can't get funds in and out it is not really an exchange... There is bitinstant but apparently they are out of funds, again.

As you can see there is "volatile" region with low $2.83 - $2.85. It can not be happen because
Aren't you looking at data from TradeHill?
|
|
|
And it is happening again: TradeHill at 2.85 and MtGox at 3.05

Yeah I looked into it a couple months ago when my expanded farm started creating a solid flow of cash & BTC at both exchanges but the amounts were so small and fleeting I said MEH. The crappy thing is I just had Tradehill send a check for $500 on Friday so it limited what I could grab.
Most opportunities are < 3% and gone within minutes, but occasionally there are bigger ones. Arbitrage bots have been losing much more money with the price fluctuation in the last months than they have been earning with the trades.

Strange usually arbitrages that easy don't happen.
Not a speculator but I picked up 100 BTC. That was too easy. I wish I had more USD @ TradeHill.
I've been doing arbitrage for 4 months and it's the first time I have seen a big opportunity stay up for so long (it has been several hours now). Anyway, I also ran out of money at TradeHill

Bitinstant was not created by TradeHill. They are a recent service that allows you to make instant deposits between exchanges, but they only work with TradeHill for now. There are a few other deposit methods at TradeHill.
