I am in the UK, and I use Barclays France to transfer Euros cheaply.  They are very helpful with UK customers since many of them take out mortgages for french property.  they don't require residency in france afaik.

Satoshi is working with Julian Assange in England while Mr Assange is awaiting extradition to Sweden.  I hear they have both gotten perfect scores on Rihanna's "Pon de Replay" on Kinect's Dance Central.

If you sell me the "share" of eBay, and I sell the "share" of eBay to person C, then these two shares are not fungible unless you and C agree to face one another and I can step out of the middle.  If you do not agree to face C directly, then you owe any eBay dividend payments to me, and i owe the exact divident payments to C.  That sounds like trouble.

You might attract more people with a start/stop date.  i.e. you can replicate a single eBay share for two years.

I feel that ByteCoin is right.  However, a counterattack:

If the network suspects a cartel, there are several strategies to make life harder for the cartel.  here is my idea.

At the expense of some unlucky honest block generators, impose a time restriction of, say, 20 seconds before any two blocks can be accepted by a node.

Cartel finds block 1 and 2 before the rest of the network does.  Say an honest generator finds block 1 and immediately transmits the message to the rest of the network.  The cartel matches by sending block 1, but the cartel now has to wait 20 seconds before they can transmit block 2.  If an honest generator finds block 2 in that 20 seconds, they too will wait until the 20 seconds is up.  I'm not sure that 20 seconds is the right number, but it at least forces the cartel into more races.  The cartel will necessarily have a lower fraction of blocks if the network adopts this strategy.

Inflation/deflation = change in exchange rate

So if USD/BTC increases but EUR/BTC decreases, does the bitcoin economy have inflation or deflation?  or both? or none?

+1 ribuck.

why not list a 1-month, 2-month, 3-month and 1-year contract?  also, why are we dealing with years and not block numbers?  call me insanely optimistic, but maybe we will be replacing the Gregorian Calendar with the Bitcoin Block Calendar sometime in the future.  i digress...

from what i've heard on irc, there is at least one user who can turn a profit when the ratio of Current Difficulty:price of USD/BTC is anywhere under 800,000.  Currently that ratio is at 12,252/.019 = 64,484.

The price was uninteresting.  But thank you for the price, I'm glad you were willing to take the risk!

bump!

any interest here?

What is the price for me to

1) buy 1000 Bitcoins from you with USD when the block total reaches 100,000?
2) sell 1000 Bitcoins to you for USD when the block total reaches 100,000?
