It ended up going through in the end.
If I close my client there is 1 confirmation, will it still send?

I sent this at 9:03 AM PST, and now it's 4:15 PST. I can't find the transaction on either one of these sites: http://blockexplorer.com/http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/My bitcoin client clearly shows -3.40 that was withdrawn. The status is still "0/unconfirmed". I only have 8 connections, and turned on port forwarding to 9 connections. Right after I "sent" my transaction, I closed my client immediately. Should I just continue waiting or is there something wrong? Should I leave my client open until I get at least 1 confirmation when sending? |

Is there any email list we can sign up to be notified of an updated version of GUIminer?

What percentage do you feel would be fair if at all?
If I were you, I would just use the current spot price. 50% of the time you will win, and 50% of the time you will lose. If you lose more than you win, I bet it won't exceed what you lose every time you take a credit card. Yeah, I may try that out. |

30% discount to the daily low in order to book a reservation? Why would anyone do this as opposed to selling the coins and paying in cash?
Just noticed this. I recognize BTC is a volatile market so I'm ok with merchants low-balling figures for the time, though I recommend using some kind of statistical window as opposed to the low. The 30% is insane. Why would I pay 30% more for my hotel room just to book it in BTC? If I book a room with a king bed for 3 days (which was my plan) that's $250, so I'm supposed to pay an extra $75 because someone had to go to MtGox for a minute? C'mon, I trade I mine I know how much time/effort it takes to convert BTC to USD and vice versa, and that's not worth $75. Sorry. Good point. I just did my first transaction, and I was surprised by how quickly it went. Mt. Gox --> Dwolla --> My Bank Account. About 1 day. What percentage do you feel would be fair if at all? |

I may be getting quoted in an upcoming Gizmodo.com article for accepting BitCoins at my hotel. If someone sees it, please put up the link, and I'll try and keep my eyes open too.

Yeah, I probably wouldn't start start something big. As soon as I white-listed, I can post in the marketplace and see what the interest is.
The problem is that this would be limited to mainly people who want to travel to Disneyland.

Yeah, essentially someone would need to create a bitcoin hotels.com sort of website.
But this would require tons of work and buy in from multiple hotels.
The reservation status would be equivalent to accepting cash. Reservations would only be held if paid in advance.
Credit cards are nice because they "hold" the room without actually charging it, and you don't need to worry too much if you need to cancel. Whereas bitcoins would need to be refunded, and there are transaction fees associated.
Due to the "cash" equivalency of bitcoin, I think this may not work very well unless you're used to having no reservations, and just walking into a hotel. For most travelers, this is too risky because the hotel may easily be sold out.

I run hojomaingate.com and redroofbp.com
I'm trying to get a sense if I want to accept BitCoins.
Would people be interested in doing something like this?
And if I did, I'd have to do a 20% markup on the exchange rate to make due to the fluctuating nature of the coin, not to mention, I'd have to somehow convince the owner on this.
How do you think something like this could work (or wouldn't work)?

I would like to see what the interest is of people to stay at either one of my hotels: hojomaingate.com or redroofbp.com and pay in BTC.
I'm not sure on what kind of exchange rate I would want, but that would be something I'd want to discuss.
LOL, I think by just replying to this message, I'll have 5 posts and be whitelisted anyway. Thanks. Only five? I thought I read fifty. I'm getting old and my eyesight is going.  Yeah, I thought I'd be okay now. I guess it takes more than 5 posts? |

Hello,
I own redroofbp.com and hojomaingate.com near Disneyland.
I'm hoping to accept BTC for travelers, but I'm not sure how interested people would be.

I hope it doesn't crash so soon. I'm already started investing in mining  |
