OP, you are a donkey. The only way to now save face is to let this thread die instead of trying to suck us in with your silly drama.

Intersango offers bank deposits in USD and a number of other currencies:

Update 04 November 2011:We now have gained access to our HSBC records from last week. Missing deposits will be credited this weekend. A change in the format of the records means there is a slight delay in us important the statements. Accounts should be credited on Sunday. Withdrawals are still delayed, but the backlog should start and finish next week. Apologies for any delay. "It may be many years before taxpayers' £20bn investment in Lloyds can be privatised - unless the chancellor is prepared to take a loss on the sale”
Yeah, Lloyds is partly owned by the public sector. The nice thing about that is that as a consequence they have a sane Terms & Conditions that doesn't entitle them to do whatever they want. Also Lloyds is a very play-it-safe bank and doesn't unnecessarily over-expose themselves to high risk assets like some other crazy banks. The downside is the inefficiency that comes from being partially of the public sector.

OK, so I had to check it again now and there 1611 advertisements in the drugs section. Two days ago it was a little under 1500. So about 150 new advertisements in two days.
The growth rate of advertisements does not necessarily represent the number of advertisers. It is just as likely there could be less people with more adverts per person. Who knows, only SR owners do. Maybe try asking them? How can I contact the Silk Road guys? I have a case I want to put before them about putting out some rough figures to help bitcoin. I have some questions to ask them.

There's only 5000 users registerd, 1000 pieces of goods on sale (90% are drugs), concurrently less than 50 users online top, and i bet less than $1k goods are sold everyday.
This is great news. I've never been on there but you've confirmed my suspicion that it's a small part of the bitcoin economy. Where did you get those numbers from? Are they on the site?

Should've kept those bitcoins afterall naaah, you should have sold them all for $30. I actually bought several $k around $0.2 or so, sold them and was like "fuck yeah! $100". Waited and waited after they sharply rose to $1 because I was *sure* a crash was coming due to the reasons in the OP. Looks like my time will come again this time around! haha

Unenforceable.
Miners would all need the same fee structure. An artificial limitation on the scripting system.

My dad is from fucking Iran and this shit would never fly there! Blaa blaa culture is no excuse. You would get the crap beaten out of you by the police for pulling this over there.
And this is a country with the most fucked up authorities and laws which makes peoples lives a living hell.

I caught my mum watching a film yesterday which I think is based off this animation: http://www.fat-pie.com/time.htm(lol Gavin (56) looks like gavin andresen) Film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Time_%28film%29Premise is that time is the currency. 1 cup of coffee = 4 mins. I get the impression though that if that were the case then the economy would shut down and everyone would hoard. but who knows if the supply was inflating.

Can you explain why the new Lloyds TSB account is owned by a new shell company called "Interteni LTD" ? Does Lloyds TSB know who they're really dealing with?
Yes they do. As stated here, it is a temporary company as Intersango LTD is owned by multiple share-holders who have to be present to open the account or be available to a notary abroad. That takes time, but we fully intend to switch the account from Interteni LTD to Intersango LTD in the future. Right now, there are more pressing matters. Interteni LTD (company number: 07826131) under the Companies Act 2006. Intersango LTD (company number: 07683978) under the Companies Act 2006. The certificate of incorporation for Intersango is available on our about us page, and the one for Interteni should be available later today. For now you can download it from here. We are required before opening the bank account to divulge all information and I was completely open about our activities. The manager was told about http://intersango.com and the full details of Bitcoin Consultancy's operations (which I drew her some diagrams of our company structure to explain to her colleagues). Considering that the Lloyds bank manager was extremely displeased at our prior treatment and took several photocopies of our past statements and letters, they know we are the same people behind Intersango LTD. Our website is on their records, and for us to lie or falsify information is highly illegal and would put me at risk of jailtime.

LOL @ the 'vulnerability' then. Had me thinking he was the next uber hacker. ;p thanks for the update.
There were some decent people who helped me/us out in our early days when it was just me alone. We have a list of their names to reward them one day if we become successful

I already found a vulnerability within their site that could of allowed me to steal the entire balance of BTC... I reported it.
Us accidentally sending you bitcoins when we first newly setup the site, does not consitute a 'hacking' but is a human error, and then theft when you refused to pay the money back. It was a change-over error which was controllable. The compensated loss was controllable due to the measures in place such as offline wallet for the actual site balance.

I propose 3 step phase plan:
step 1. Protocol specifics are definitively agreed upon. No going back after this step. Takes as long as it has too, but ideally 1 month. step 2. Implementations are all synchronised and ready with branch/patches ready to accept the new changes. Testing needs to be done. 1 month. step 3. A date is set for the switch-over. Packages are released and all merchants/users/vendors/miners are given a switch-over date before the change becomes live. Enough time needs to be give for everybody to change over. I propose 2 months.
After this and with enough testing, the OP_EVAL can be introduced into the GUI and such after a while. This puts the total timeframe at around under 6 months.

btw in libbitcoin there are a bunch of other tools but I didn't include them as they're more complicated to setup: examples/poller download the bitcoin blockchain into a postgresql databaseexamples/subvertx/balance find the balance of a bitcoin address using the downloaded database after running the poller above tests/net connect, handshake (swap versions, wait for veracks) and then download the first 500 blocks.
