If Subway were to accept Bitcoin, no one would know what to charge until the moment I got there. And instantly afterward, the merchant is at risk due to volatility.
It's a problem I don't know how to solve,
It solves itself gradually as the Subway manager starts being able to buy his ingredients with bitcoin, then his rent, then his electricity, his staff's wages, etc. |

or you could just have them send you a text/SMS message.
Yes of course. Or a pidgeon. |

Call the place, talk to the owner, find out address, decide approximate order, send bitcoins, go eat for "free".

I would go so far as to say Bitcoins would need to be pegged to USD (or some other currency) at a certain value. Pegging could never be enforced. Say you try to peg 1 BTC = 10 USD... What stops me from buying a coin for $11 if I really really want a coin? Or selling one for $9 if I desperately need some fiat cash? Nothing. Suddenly it's floating again. |

Yesterday, I think you should shop around for a buyer, there's probably a few people that would be interested.
If not, I'll get in touch again tomorrow.

Good luck with it... your last game was a total flop... I was the only one that sent in 0.25 btc  ...or maybe that defines the game as a 'success', since you're up 0.25! |

As soon as you enter your password, the contents of the wallet are decrypted so your private keys could be read from RAM.

FOUND A BULK BUYER!
Bulk purchaser of online porn? How odd. I got a little over 100 BTC for all the accounts. What we're confused about is who needs that much porn. A reseller? Someone who doesn't want to on-sell in bulk, but individually over a longer period of time? |

I own a pizza shop and I want to accept bitcoins but I'm still majorly concerned about how to keep my coins secure on windows.
Start by not using Windows. It's posts like this that give Linux users a bad name. Just saying. Linux users have a bad name?  At least one of them does... Linus... that name's terrible. |

I wonder what bitcoin.me is worth  I was thinking about that "Should we buy bitcoin.com" thread and how much less likely it seems that forum members can raise a bounty for it. |

Just noticed this on bitcoinhop.com: The site was hacked and will not be returning online. If you were awaiting a payment, please send an email to bitcoinhop@gmail.comwith details about your account/item. Does anyone have any further info? Seems strange that they will 'not be returning'. |

From here: http://www.dncrunch.com/?p=12224 It’s interesting to note some sales of domains based on the hot startup BitCoin as well — Bitcoin.de and bitcoins.de for 29,750 EUR total. Yes, very interesting to note |

The hard part is actually sending the refund to the customer. You can't send to either the change address or any of the inputs, as the customer might have been using an online wallet service and the service will not know what to do with the payment. The customer will most likely have to supply an address to receive the refund. This is easily done via email or other online support methods. In person it's less easy today, but will become easier in time as the bitcoin URI scheme and QR codes become more widespread.
Refunding to a different address/location/medium is what could get a business into big trouble imho. When you purchase with a credit card, the store isn't allowed to refund that purchase to cash, or to any other credit card, it can only be refunded back to the same card, to hinder money laundering. |

Too far away for me to buy lunch there, so I just sent them a 0.02 freebie instead.
Although, I'll definitely look them up if I ever make it to NY.
