And what about a lightweight client for desktops? (or servers) is there any way to run bitcoind in this mode?

The RPC does allow import.  The ability to remove a key is not yet in the client, but the Bitcoin source 'main" trunk has support fo "removeprivkey' (so a custom build of the client would support it).

Here's how that would be used:

Cashing out to PayPal can be done relatively safely.  On the #bitcoin-otc marketplace you likely would have been able to have found a trading partner who wanted LR USD and had a trust history in the #bitcoin-otc Web of Trust (WoT) such that you could trust that a PayPal payment from them.
 - http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#bitcoin-otc
 - http://www.bitcoin-otc.com
 - http://www.bitcoin-otc.com/viewratings.php

Another method would be to convert LR to to bitcoins and then to get PayPal USD redeem those bitcoins at SpendBitcoins.com
An exchange that takes LR for deposits is BTC-e.com.  Also does BTCTree.com but they are new and currently there are no sell offers on the book.  Antother method that would work is to use AurumXChange and exchange LR USD 1:1 with a MTGUSD redeemable code.  Then buy bitcoins with that and  go the SpendBitcoins.com route:
 - https://www.spendbitcoins.com/convert/paypal/  ($0.30 + 2.9% fee)
Or offer to trade the MTGUSD for PayPal USD 1:1 on the #bitcoin-otc marketplace.

The UI for confirming the e-mail address is odd.

Normally, web-based apps have a form with fields, where you enter the value and then click a button to submit.

The only button next to the 'verification code" reads "Re-send link"

So when I enter the code and then click a button, it of course, sends me a new link with a new code.

What wasn't obvious is that the form (apparently) does a check on each keypress or paste, and as a result as soon as I've entered a valid confirmation code it registers as confirmed, without me clicking any submit button.

Functional, maybe.  Intuitive for a web app, nope.

Putting in a Verify button or something like that (in addition to the Re-send link button) might make it easier to understand.
6226  Economy / Services / Re: GLBSE feature request: registered funds on: May 23, 2012, 09:55:13 PM
I'ld like to see a feature that goes even further: position transparency

So maybe a "registered" fund, and an "open registered" fund type.

The open registered one lets an investor see how many btcs are invested in funds at that time, and the specific allocation of shares held in each of the assets, trade history maybe even, etc.

Otherwise, an unscrupulous fund manager could have 100% invested in an asset that is under that fund manager's control (or benefits the manager in some way, such as kickback or inside info).

how important is that money must be equally created by the people NOT few FAMILIES

Well, nearly half of all bitcoins that will ever be issued have been created already, with another 25% created a little over the next four years, and the remaining over the decades that follow.

There is little seigniorage with bitcoin, so there is no transfer of wealth by fiat, instead it is earned by those mining operators who are more efficient than their peers and by those who speculated and profited as the value rises.
  
There have been attempts at alternative currency systems closer to what you are hoping for, but they have not had much success.  For instance, the Occcu might be closer to what you are describing:

The timestamp can be up to two hours different.  Block thus won't always be in chronological order for the timestamp.

Why? (How can this be?)

From the Bitcoin wiki:

Quote
Each block contains a Unix time timestamp. In addition to serving as a source of variation for the block hash, there are also validity checks, that make it more difficult for an adversary to manipulate the block chain.
A timestamp is accepted as valid if it is greater than the median timestamp of previous 11 blocks, and less than the network-adjusted time + 2 hours. "Network-adjusted time" is the median of the timestamps returned by all nodes connected to you.

Also, we do use ssl during transactions and trading.

I see.  I can force SSL by logging in with https.  The site doesn't force this, presumably because some browsers won't like the cert?

Also, the site is working intermittently.  For a few minutes I was able to see the chart, get a quote on the CALL and PUT.   A few minutes later, no chart, $0 in the current value.

I am attracted to this like a moth to flame though.  I won't be surprised that my wings will be burnt off but I'll be a guinea pig here.

One question, so when funding the account, I get a rate less favorable than spot rate.  What is the percent fee that is charged for converting BTC deposits to USDs for trading?
6232  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Please! Make services available to Puerto Rico! on: May 23, 2012, 07:27:40 PM
EDIT: It would be perfect to be able to do a cash deposit in a location nearby. Now bitinstant have deposits through Walmart, CVS and 7-11 but none of them are working in Puerto Rico.

Looks like Walmart will work using this method:

Please please! Do something so that i can make a cash deposit in Puerto Rico. We are a commonwealth of United States. There are walmarts here but Zip zap says that there are no deposit locations in my territory.

Just choose any Walmart in the states, and bring it to a Walmart in Puerto Rico, should work fine.

Upon registering the response was:


"Not Found

The requested URL /portfolio/depositfunds was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Also, the register form does not use SSL.

The domain is registered anonymously.

6236  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: [ANN] bitfloor cash deposit, ACH withdraw, and wire transfers on: May 22, 2012, 10:26:31 PM

We do, however the fees for such wires are generally high (15-30$ range). Anyone who wishes to send us a wire is welcome to do so, just contact support@bitfloor.com and we will provide you with the relevant bank information.

Why doesn't your deposits or withdrawals page mention wire deposit, wire withdrawal and check deposit methods?

This is one of those things that isn't easily solvable, primarily because advertising that you do money exchange (even if not at a profit) means you probably should also be registered as a money service business. [Update: In most jurisdictions.]

I was reading about how those doing infrequent exchange (up to 5 times per year) below the AML threshholds ($1K per day) and not at a profit are excluded from this requirement.  I would like to find out specifically where in the regulations this exclusion is described.

6240  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Class Action Lawsuit vs. Bitcoinica for USD funds on: May 22, 2012, 07:33:28 PM
Not to be negative, but class actions are kind of a US thing. Some other countries use them, but not all. First thing you need to do is figure out which jurisdiction you would pursue this in (NZ I'm assuming), and find out if such a thing is even possible there.

Had the organization properly notified its customers of the "reorganization" to New Zealand?  Proper notification might be where account-holders had to opt-in to acknowledge this change before the account would continue with the new owner.

Singapore was where Bitcoinica supposedly was based out of previously, and there might even be customers able to argue they were led to believe this was (still) operated as was initially claimed -- by XWayLab out of Delaware.
