Depending on the price I may be interested.  Also #bitcoin-otc is a good bet, I often sell large quantities there as its quicker to get my money out.

I usually pay below market, if your interested in selling to me let me know and we can discuss price.

Perhaps this is something the bitcoin foundation could do, set up a central repository of traders with ratings etc.

This sounds like an interesting Idea, but maybe rather than a QR Code for an address a QR code for a webpage where people can make donations and also see how many donations have been made etc.  I for one like to see what happens with anything I donate to a cause even if its just a news update on a webpage.

Have you tried Trading OTC?

#bitcoin-otc or #bitcoin-otc-uk on freenode is the easiest place to get bitcoins in the UK.  I buy and sell there and would highly reccomend, you can get better rates than most places and it doesnt take long either.

I think they handle a lot of their withdrawals requests manually, or at least this was the case for UK accounts when they had one.  So its not unusual for them to take a few days to actions it.  Ask them on thier IRC channel on freenode, they are normally happy to help.  However I think they are currently going through court due to some mass legal action against Bitcoinica they have somehow been dragged into it. This may account for the delays in your withdrawal.....

You can withdraw via SEPA to the UK I believe, but the fee's are rather high.  I did a SEPA withdrawal from MtGox for 1000 GBP and this cost me about £30.  I would suggest asking one of the Intersango guys on thier IRC channel on freenode #intersango.

Just something to consider especially in Germany I think there are regulations regarding trading with Bitcoins.  Specifically I believe BAFIN covers them.  While I'm not an expert in German regulation I have spoken to some Bitcoin enthusiasts in Germany who told me that by accepting Bitcoins you are subject to the same regulatory requirements as a bank doing commodities trading.  I think this has something to do with essentially offering a type of money changing service.

If this is in fact the case then perhaps you should be careful with setting up a business in Germany that accepts Bitcoins.

If anyone has any hard facts about this I would be really interested to hear from you.

Thanks

Conceptually Great idea, would love it to work.  If it takes off will definitely start trying to get my local stores to accept BTC.  But I don't think hardware issues are the only constraint to getting this tech mass market.  Will be watching with interest though

Would be Nice if they let all customers know what expected shipping dates are..... on the plus side if you paid with paypal / CC at least you can charge back if they abscond.

Hope BFL will ship by end of year!

Really want to get my Jalapenos

I am a developer with a heavy background in finance and energy market trading software.

I am currently working on a project that will provide a single web interface to aggregate prices from all bitcoin exchanges and allow uses to execute from a single website.  its still early days but hope this will improve liquidity and help traders on exchanges get the best possible prices.

I also plan to implement more advanced features such as:

Inter exchange spreads
built in trading bots
risk management

Am open to any feature suggestions or queries.
