Well, as a salesperson you could use some sort of voucher system. The customers sees you generating it (difficult symbols so he cannot remind it and walk away). Then he "donates" you the money and you give him a voucher to receive his "donation". The voucher can then be used to get his donation from escrow or something. Dunno, something like that would be useful I guess.
Perhaps, but I have to be able to say that to a judge with a straight face. Kinda like what some people did during prohibition in the U.S. It was illegal to sell alcohol in some places, but not give it away. Guys would hang out selling very expensive pencils that came with a "free" drink. These attempts generally did not hold up in court.

I looked into buying some BTC ATM's but discovered one problem. The FinCen guidelines are not crystal clear, but seem to state that the owner/operator of the machine must be licensed as a money transmitter. That could represent an insurmountable barrier to entering the market. Some states have ridiculous requirements, such as posting multi-million dollar bonds. Has anyone come up with a way to address this? I would love to own and use such a machine.  
Can't you make it a donation like ATM? You donate me 100$ dollars, I will donate you a BitCoin. Tongue
Hopefully you won't change your mind and keep my btc. I could not demand that you donate to me.  Undecided
But do keep trying to find a way! I think these will show up eventually. The problem is that the banking industry has worked very hard to keep any new players out.

I got banned for asking if anyone uses bitcoin at a website. The mod goggled it and said I was banned for "being part of a pyramid scam for bitcoin Inc." lol

There is room for many opinions here. The math of the bitcoin protocol is independent of politics. I think capitalism and democracy are good systems when not corrupted.

Origin:
early 21st century: from bit4 + coin


What's a "bit4?"
I dunno  Huh
But I think it is incorrect. The derivation is clearly bit (as in a unit used in computer processing) and coin (as in a currency).

EDIT: I guess it is for all you 4 bit computer users.

FACT: The biggest currency to launder money & promote fraud is the US currency

The terrorist organization illuminati (also known as the Bilderberg Group) is out selling the idea to the general public that Bitcoin is the currency to launder money & promote fraud.

I hope The Bitcoin Foundation brought that up at the meetings yesterday and today.
If they brought up any illuminati crap I am going to work on getting our lobbyist fired. lol

I think it is just to early to tell what bitcoin is going to do. The client is in beta, few have heard of bitcoin, most of the major markets are still untapped (foreign remittance for example). We are still in the early adoption phase, and likely will be for a few years.
6592  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Discussion: Duplicate private keys - Who has Bitcoin ownership? on: August 28, 2013, 03:42:29 PM
That is a lot to consider. In a practical sense  the owner of the private key is always going to be the "owner" of the bitcoins, right?. Since that person, good or bad, can spend the coins.
Sharing a private key would require a huge amount of trust.

Hello, world!

Hello Harry, what is this sorcery?

It's some kind of geek witchcraft! Have your computer run this incantation.

Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  cout << "Hello World!";
  return 0;
}

http://www.bitcoiniacs.com/rates/ site was telling me $1CAD would buy "infinity" BTC.  Sweet!  Smiley

So a scammer has determined that bitcoin is a scam? And now he wants more bitcoin by some kind of scam sale of his account?
Sounds legit.  Roll Eyes

It is legal in some countries.
Here it is called conspiracy to commit crime, facilitating a criminal enterprise, and if he is a minor you can add contributing to the delinquency of a child.
