I concur! This would be an awesome idea, I'd be all in for putting in coin for a game bundle.

Electrum lets you set whatever you want, IIRR... if it doesn't I could easily make a patch to fix that or perhaps enable it as an expert option.

For consolidation, you could setup a tiny fee for the transaction and just expect to wait a long time... but in personal finance management, time probably doesn't matter so much.

I offer up vanity address building. Whatever method you like:

 * Full private key generation by me
 * Mixed generation to have the real private key hidden from me
 * Up to 6 characters (excluding the '1') (ex: 1FunMan)
 * Case insensitive if you want - makes it cheaper

Ex: 6 char vanity key = 0.002 BTC (roughly $0.25 now)
5 char = 0.001 BTC
4 char = 0.0002
3 char = 0.0001
2 char = 0.00001 (prefer bulk so you don't waste your money on trans fee)

case insensitive = half cost

Bulk discount == for every additional one, add half cost of the new one.. sorting most expensive first costwise

Simple service at cheaper than pool (IIRR) though not quite as super-big lengths. Any takers? Anybody want to take a share of this, ex: we get 4 orders in, we split even 2 / 2.

Always happy to have another option to buy / sell items... so long as we don't entirely dilute the market (Bitmit looks to have such little buyer activity). Also... $10 fee... perhaps make a fee based on what amt you can sell?

Ex:
$0 fee - limited to 0.5 BTC-value items
$5 fee - limited to 1 BTC-value items
$10 fee - no limit on value

That way small time sellers can get in and perhaps start establishing a base - then upgrade later, or choose to directly contribute collected coin towards fee.

Thanks for the Keepass recommendation for the masses.

There is also Keepassx [1] w/ cross-platform support (ex: Linux, OSX) and it works quite nicely w/ minimal memory usage compared to Keepass2 & .Net. I use both in different scenarios - Keepass2 for by main accounts / etc where I typically access via powerful PC and Keepassx when I have to work on a not-so-powerful PC w/ more protected accounts.

Would one option for eBay w/ protection be sending a physical item containing Bitcoin information... as well as perhaps offering an electronic version to go along w/ it.. or would that not work in seller protection?

Future has the benefit that you don't muck w/ hash rate.

There is the travel in the past idea... traveling to the future could also be a good plan.

Take your small amt of bitcoin way to the future where the value has gone up because of widespread usage => scarcity. Buy some very valuable items, take them back, sell them for more BTC now. Rinse - repeat.
