Well, to be honest I don't see that much huge demand for local gold/silver trading, but we will try to add that feature at some point  

Edit: and we have some plans for removing spammy ads from the site. However that isn't high priority right now, for now we need more traders/ads.

With DRM you always have to view or enjoy the media somehow, eg. the media always needs to be transformed in unencrypted form. So you can also always capture the media. It is a different case.

Yep, you can change your default location on the main page (the two boxes and "change" button). It should save the cookie for about like forever, so you don't have to rely on the IP location. (how could I make this more intuitive?)

Hmm, I'll look at it... Don't you have your ad edit URL where you can delete them?

Edit: in fact, I don't see any ads from Frankfurt, if you mean that... There area only ads in berlin leipzig, dresden, hambur... Your IP located position never goes in to the ads.

What city did you try? What country?

We recommend using postal codes/zipcodes, because they usually work somewhat well, but cities should work as well in most cases...

Hmm, I'll try to fix this problem ASAP.

Edit: should be fixed

Well, there were couple of bugs, they should be fixed now and there shouldn't be 500 errors any more. If you are still getting them, drop me a msg.

We will add ability to stort by price, but that is currently minor priority, since there aren't any sellers to make this kind of sorting sensible.

Lots of minor updates made, for example now you can link to a city this way:

http://localbitcoins.com/location/DE/Berlin/

Also there is some random "active cities" fetched at the bottom of the listing page.

Sorry about the continuous errors with the site, we are rapidly making changes, because at this point we sacrifice stability over features. In the longer term the site will be more stable

I'm interested as well

After reading the article, I really thought that bitcoin could be huge thing in china. Especially since the investment vehicles for the poor and middle-class are very limited (for example, they can't invest outside the country), it could really change things. Have to start translating my projects to chinese

If you are interested to this kind of site, check out my newest project localbitcoins.com

I'm developing it now actively, and the response has been positive. All kind of feedback welcome.

Sorry, missed it! I'm using python and django. I will have to think about the freelance offer. Now kind of in hurry.

I just updated the site:

- Now the equations are simpler: no need for {{ and }}: you can just type mtgoxEUR * 0.95
- New parameters added: USD_in_PHP, USD_in_EUR, all currency conversions from http://openexchangerates.org/latest.json (USD -> any other currency)
- Lots of currencies added (this makes the currency list very long, but it should be usually automatically determined.)
- Minor improvements

Bug reports, feature suggestions, etc very welcome!

Edit: sorry, I didn't add wvap from mtgox, since there are already weighted averages from bitcoincharts.com, which incorporates the trades from all exchanges. (eg. EUR_24h, USD_24h)

Well, I will edit the article "for extra pocket money" -> "for becoming a millionaire" and so on Yeah, the guide is probably geared too much for small exchangers, the site is of course suitable for bigger exchangers as well.

The map feature takes a long time to develop, and I really want to go to Berlin bitcoiners meeting today, which starts about 1 hour from now.

What was the location you tried to add? Maybe I can quickly add a city database to my app, so that cities/towns can be added without resolving to google database...

Hmm OK, I will try to add that kind of feature. Just have to think a way to implement it...

You can also try adding by a city/town name. However currently it might not work, since google has probably blocked our location requests...

SOme serious bugs found when you left min and max amount undefined. These should be fixed now. Sorry for the downtime!

Yeah, it is now automated. The values should be updated each 5 minutes. You can use any parameters from bitcoincharts.com, for example {{ mtgoxEUR_close }}, {{ mtgoxUSD_high }} etc. Also wighted averages for currencies can be used: {{ USD_24h }}, {{ EUR_7d }}

I'll try to add more parameters in the following days...

Hmm ok, so the ad location is wrong... I'll try to fix it.

Hmm, seems to work for me, it is 4,5 kilometers from my place (10557, Berlin).
