Isn't that the idea in the link I posted? D'oh. Didn't read it. Consider my post a tl;dr for those too lazy or unwilling to click links.  Sounds good to me.  |

Thanks for linking to a bitcoinweekly article!  No problem. |

One of the problems with an anonymous exchange is the transfer of funds to and from the exchange. One interesting idea for solving this problem is the use of a cut-out (an espionage term). Basically, if I want to send money to the exchange, I set up a bank account for this purpose only. I keep one ATM card and send the other to the exchanger (via an intermediary, so I don't know the identity of the exchanger). Whenever I want to transfer money, I deposit money into the account and alert the exchanger. He sends a runner out to a random ATM to withdraw the money. Then he credits my account with the same amount (minus a fee?). When I want to withdraw, the opposite happens. I notify the exchanger of my intent, he sends a runner out to deposit some money into the account, and I withdraw it at my leisure.

This could become a hassle with a large number of users, though there could be many anonymous exchangers that operate like this, or perhaps they merely supply fewer non-anonymous exchangers with liquidity.
Yeah, but this probably won't be a problem at the start. We could wait to figure that one out after we see if it gets big or not. It could be fairly easy for banks to determine who is using this method of exchange. It might look suspicious if a large number of accounts are being accessed at ATMs from all over the country as well as one specific geographic area. Perhaps the exchanger would have trusted agents located throughout the country?
Perhaps. |

I'll buy some more from you since you were my original choice. My BTC is reserved for someone else right now, but after I get his product and pay him, I'll buy some more bitcoins and send them over to you. |

I could probably get the ones I actually need to be working on done in 2-3 days. I have 1 job that would take a little longer, but I'm doing it for free, and it's not urgent, so that one can be put aside for a while.

This needs to happen! I would love to be a runner! Once I've completed a few jobs I'm working on, I should have plenty of time to help with coding this.

Bitcoin prices just rose a lot yesterday. Updated invite prices for the new exchange rate, please?

Do you have some other currency? Convert it!  Can't because all my money is in a bank acount managed by my parents at the moment(I'm 14). I can't buy BTC any other way either because my dad soesn't beleive in it either because he thinks it is illegal. That sucks. Would your dad be willing to talk to someone from the bitcoin community to clarify some things about bitcoin? I'm sure someone would love to help you out. I'd do it, but I'm only 16, so he might not take me seriously. Does that sound like a good idea, or would you not be comfortable with that? |

Is it a steam gift or just a CD copy?
Sorry, I always forget to include important info in my posts! It's a cd copy for Xbox360. |

My friend couldn't sell this to anyone at school. He told me if I could sell it for an amount of bitcoins at least equal to $40 USD, he would start taking bitcoin seriously. Any takers?

I would like to see this as well!

Aren't virtual hosts just used if you have multiple domains that go to different directories? If you don't set up virtual hosts, shouldn't it default to /var/www directory?

So, I'm trying to figure out how to host a .bit domain on my server. When I try mapping the domain directly to my server ip, and then try to access the domain from a webbrowser, I still get "Server not found." Do I have to add the ip for this dns server to my server to host .bit domains?
|
|
|
|
Well, mapping directly to my server's ip still gave me the "server not found" error. But I tried using ns with slicehost again, and adding a dns zone with my domain, and this time I got some output: Anyway I could trick it, maybe? |
|
|
|
yeah, can't you do that on slicehost? i do so on afraid.org you can also set your IPs in namecoin though should look like namecoind name_update d/yourname '{"map": {"": "1.2.3.4", "www": "4.3.2.1"}}'Well, I tried to, but everytime I pressed submit, it just dissapeared. I think it doesn't want to recognise the .bit extension. But you say I can just map it directly to my server's IP, instead of going through the slicehost nameservers first? |
|
|
|
like this namecoind name_update d/yourname '{"map": {"": {"ns": ["ns1.slicehost.net", "ns2.slicehost.net"]}}}' That's what I did, but how do I make it go to my server specifically? Normally, after I set nameservers on a domain, I have to log in to my server management page and add dns records to my server as well. |
