If I were a merchant and sold something with a 20% gross margin, I would like you to convert 80% of the BTC I got into USD and keep 20% of them as bitcoin. So why not offer the choice to your client? If only black or white choice, as a merchant, they will get running-out-of-working-capital problem if keep all the money in the bitcoin they get paid.

 If you offer the partially-exchange offer to the merchants, it will easily get them to keep some of them. later, They will spend more time to know about bitcoin and may try to use bitcoin themselves. This will make it a more widely accepted currency.

Yes, I agree...we are initially offering either BTC or USD payout, but merchants will want more flexibility than that.  The hard part is doing it in a way that doesn't thoroughly confuse people.  That's a great point you make about it enabling merchants to dip their toes in the bitcoin pool so to speak.

You would be surprised, I have been working with e-commerce clients since around 2000, most of them don't even understand interchange rates.  You want big adoption, make it easy to integrate into the major shopping carts.  Make a wordpress plugin that will allow purchases with bitcoin.  There are a ton of people (quite a few adult sites - especially single girl sites/cam girls) that cant or dont understand how to setup a merchant account. Open the door to these sites and you will start to develop an undercurrent that while isnt mainstream will have tons of mainstream users.  No matter your stand on adult entertainment, it has pushed innovation on the web since the beginning.

Paypal much like Visa/Mastercard DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE MERCHANT.  Period.  End of Story.  When I first started working for my employer, I found out they were using paypal to run their credit cards.  A buyer purchased 60K of equipment (not unusual with our equipment), and we had proof of delivery via UPS.  Got a charge back from the guy, faxed IP info, shipping confirmation, signature from UPS, would paypal work with us at all?  NO.  We weren't even allowed to forward the info to the credit card companies because we were going through Paypal.  We were literally doing half a million a month plus through paypal and they were willing to screw us over 60K in chargebacks with no thought.  You really think they care about your bitcoins?  Lesson learned, move on.

I know the reason for the restrictions when the trolls started flooding the forum, but now that it seems to have died down not sure if it needs to continue?  I wanted to purchase something and was unable to get in time because I have only been lurking for a long while.

I was originally introduced to bitcoins by teppy and his Dargons Tale casino http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=1392.0 while I was playing his other game ATITD.  I ended up winning around 200 bitcoins total from me purchasing 10 then promptly forgot about it until a few months ago on twitter Jason Calcanis was talking about it and I remembered I had it on one of my gaming machines.  Turns out I had left the client cpu mining and had actually found a block in that time frame.  Since then I have setup a couple of GPU mining rigs and have been lurking quietly on the forums.

just to go of on a tangent.

why do they seem to think that you repairing their shit is no big deal?

I have a friend who works on cars, if i asked him to just fix my shit for free, he would look at me like I was crazy... "do you know how much work it is, that will take hours"

"you mean like me fixing your computer?"

sometimes people act like they just asked you to get them a drink out of the fridge. I guess cause I am always on the computer, people think I just enjoy stopping what i am doing and fixing their shit when the same people would never want to do what they do for a living for free for me.


i'm sure I could press the issue, or barter more and it isnt a big deal, it is just the attitude.

geek work should be cheap or free, while what they do is actual labor and should be compensated.

I finally got my family and friends to stop asking me to repair their computer for free, when my wife comes along and offers my services to any of her friends that mention the slightest problem. Now I have to do shit for people I dont even know otherwise the wife will get bent out of joint.

As of the OP, I have had a few discussions with friends, but the fact is they are not very computer savvy and the way the client is currently I just cant risk them losing money because they dont know how to secure their own wallets/machines

Whats the monthly fee at the colo?  The amount we spend on some of our smaller hosting might make sense to have our own.

Please let me out so I can make a purchase on marketplace: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=25044.0

I have the time I could just post random on some of the newb threads, but I usually only like to post when I really can contribute.  As far knowledge of bitcoins, not sure how to prove that, I have a couple mining rigs running already on BTCGuild for the last month, managed to work everything out without posting so I guess that might qualify Smiley

Thanks
