Just creating a thread for ongoing discussions about this specific site.

Original idea/thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=73666.0;all

Current Implementation (under construction): StripCoin.com
For experienced Bitcoiners, you'll want to head directly to girls.stripcoin.com and/or guys.stripcoin.com, depending on your preference.

Also, this is your last change to donate to the beautiful and intelligent women that have complete the bounty requirements, which will be paid sometime on 2012-04-01 in the evening, PST timezone. Donation address is: http://btc.to/446

Do you guys recall the recent travesty that occurred in Fullerton awhile back when this man, Kelly Thomas, was beaten into a coma at the hands of Fullerton Police Department and later died?

My long-time personal friend Travis Kiger played a key role in making sure the police officers involved in this death faced their punishment. Travis Kiger runs the website "FullertonsFuture.org", a community watchdog/blog calling out political corruption and police abuse in their local government. Because of his leadership role in holding authority accountable, he is being encouraged to run for office and help clean up the city and tame its out of control budgets.

If you would like to help a person like Travis Kiger fight back against this type of bureaucracy and cronyism, consider helping out his champaign by donating some Bitcoins.

Currently in beta, but going live next week.

They own about 100 physical properties here in town..

Lets get a champaign going to inform the wild girls of reddit that they can get Bitcoin for displaying their naughty bits. I'm thinking they can overlay a firstbits address in their uploaded images to encourage donations for their bad behaviour. Turn those upvotes into $$$

Ok.. Trying to get this OP up to date. it's been a long, hard ride on the stripper train.

BOMBARD this company with requests to accept Bitcoin!! Email Michael@DollarShaveClub.com

I pledged my loyal customership. Reply if you're also inclined to give them business.

I'd like to support Stefan Molyneax and get him to put Bitcoin donation information on his site.

I've pledged 5 BTC to him and his site as an incentive. Roger Ver has agreed to match my contribution. If you think this is a good bounty, please pledge the amount of Bitcoin you would be willing to donate if he begins to accept Bitcoin and mentions this change in one of his *casts.

I want a local exchange here in Las Vegas. I want to convince a local gold exchange to start dealing with Bitcoin and I need help with a plan of attack.

My idea is simple, but I need some help with a strategy. I have a little bit of a relationship with at least one gold exchange after they recently purchased some silver coins from me but I'm hoping what I'm about to do will be useful to others in other areas to help sell them on this idea.

I want to give a gold exchange $200 in cash to hold on to as good faith deposit if they accept the terms of this little adventure together. This is to help assure them I'm not scamming them or trying to sell them something. If they accept, I'll give them another $100 cash and walk them through setting up their own exchange account, make the deposit of my $100 to be turned into coin, and then show them how to turn the dollars into Bitcoin and safely store them and transfer them to me. Once this transaction is complete, the would return my $200 cash deposit.

First and foremost, I need a simple contract that will guarantee the return of my deposit, minus any fees they incurred (yes I will pay them to make money off my exchange and cover their expenses). Then I will need to have a simple bullet list of how I will help them learn this, the procedure, and what they can expect.

Some of the things I would like them to understand:
* I'm paying you to learn how to earn additional by exchanging Bitcoins
* a balance sheet of how much money will be exchanged for deposit fees, conversion fees, and general exchange rates so it's very easy to see where the money is at any point in the process
* I have free advertising/publicity for them (great place since Las Vegas is a tourist destination)
* x number of potential local customers so they understand the initial volume

If you have any suggestions and/or can help me draft a simple contract, lets hear it.

I really hate to do this publicly but I've given them plenty of time to respond privately.

TL;DR I deposited $100 at CryptoXchange, they cashed my check, but didn't credit my account - initially because I screwed up the deposit procedure (first time working with them). But even after making phone calls, sending emails since the 30th, providing the copies of the cancelled checks that they cashed on the 2012-01-30, I still don't have my account credited, my money returned, and I haven't heard ANYTHING from them since 2012-02-02.

Here is a PDF of my conversations and check images: http://goo.gl/rrhMR

My hopes are that someone here can push the right buttons to help me get this resolved.

Can't wait to receive my first issue!

In November, I decided to give family members $20 in Bitcoins as an early Christmas present. All during the month of December, I gave away about $60, $2 increments daily, in Bitcoins to friends and family following me on FB and G+.

Today, I sent out this email to almost everyone who's recently received Bitcoins from me. I'm sharing this with you in hopes it will inspire you to do the same.

I hope you guys have seen the awesomeness that is Bitcoin. Some of you have seen your Bitcoin stash value from $20 just a few months ago to about $60 today (http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/). I hope you've taken a few minutes to read up about it, play around with your digital money and understand how it works.

What I'd like you to do now is take some of your profits and share with a friend or co-worker. The next time you're out having fun, ask them to cover for you and ask if they would like to hold some Bitcoins for you until you can pay them back. Ask them to load up the software (or instawallet) on their phone - it just takes a minute - and send them their first Bitcoins to hang on to. You'll have something interesting to talk about in line and for a long time after. Here's some great talking points to share: http://bitcoinmedia.com/bulleted-advantages/

Additionally, I'd like you explore the possibilities of replacing those Bitcoins with more Bitcoins by purchasing a few from an exchange like tradehill.com or mtgox.com (there is actually about a dozen to choose from). Hoarding such an increasingly valuable commodity is understandable, but without circulation and growing the number of people who understand and use it, the interest and momentum already behind Bitcoin may take longer to reach its full potential.

If you didn't know, <my kid> has been receiving all of their allowance in Bitcoin for awhile now. They keep some off-line for maximum protection and savings, and then some discretionary spending on their computer and phone. When they want something from the store, I'll buy it and they pays me right there with Bitcoins from their phone. They're almost as much of a nut about Bitcoin as I am and hates giving them up... But we really need to spread the ideas and benefits to as many people as possible - and it only seems to work through friends because of trust and established relationships.

Since there is no central owner of Bitcoin, it takes all interested participants to spread the word. There are no dedicated marketing departments to help us - it's just you and me, and hopefully a few of your friends. I've talked with hundreds of people about Bitcoin, but haven't come close to the level of progress I've made with you because you have known me for a long time and trust me. I am hoping that you can have the same success with your circle of friends and we can make Bitcoin the next big thing and help put an end to all the financial nonsense related to centralized banking.

If you need any encouragement or information to get you motivated, please ask. I will absolutely love to talk to you about this subject. Let's take Bitcoin to the next level!

Tuxavant
P.S. If you don't "get it" and you're not interested in holding or using your Bitcoins. I'd like to buy them back with cash at the current market value (http://preev.com is a good conversion site). Just let me know and we'll work out the details privately.

... stating "BTCinch is simply not a viable business in the US.", "All customer deposits will be distributed via a third party..." and "We are working out a transition plan for Merchants, who will be emailed specifics later today".

Today, I stopped by my local Starbucks for my regular Sunday morning coffee and pondered "When will I be able to do this with Bitcoins" and it struck me... There's only one simple thing keeping this from happening - The Barista's willingness to accept my Bitcoins, and pay my tab with their own Bernankies. How awesome would that be if everyone started doing this? How many service workers could instantly expand the currency's reach? Taxi drivers, waiters/waitresses, anyone working a cash register at any merchant. If you know someone in this type of position and they have been curious about Bitcoin - this could be their perfect way to start getting some.

Has anyone discussed using the PKI of Bitcoin as an encryption and authentication method? Specifically, since it puts digital keys in the hands of every user, is it possible for a system to present a challenge string to a user, have them sign it with their "registered" key, and prove an identity? Can the Bitcoin keys be used to encrypt to public keys in the same fashion as PGP?

It seems like Bitcoin indirectly pushes a PGP type solution to end users in a way that can be intuitive for the average person if a client could accommodate this kind of feature.

Has a friend ever offered to buy your drinks? Do you enjoy a "You buy this time, I'll buy next time" relationship?

Perhaps this is the perfect opportunity to teach your friend a thing or two about Bitcoin.

While you're sharing your liquid grains, on your friend's tab, convince them to flip on their phone and download a wallet on their phone or point point their browser to Instawallet. Pay your tab you owe them right then and there with Bitcoins.

They've already agreed to be "out" the bernankies this time around. They'll have some Bitcoins to ponder for awhile and time to play around with them. If they doesn't find them useful or at least novel (WHATEVER), then just have him send them back next time you meet up and give him the cash for the beer. Slate is clean and you can end the friendship. lol Just kidding. But at least you tried promoting it and someone new got a chance to truly experience Bitcoin.

But if it all works out, you've extended the "Bitcoin accepted here" network and the new guy will be that much more likely to accept them and even use them with someone else!

Viva la Bitcoin!

I don't know where else to put this, so I'll drop it in here..

Send an email to all your friends and family stating that you will give away $1 USD in bitcoins each day for the next 30 days to this email list.

Give them instructions on how to download the clients (point them to BitcoinIntro.com if they are a noob).

Then, each day, send $1 in Bitcoins to an instawallet address and post the URL to the email list.

It doesn't have to be Instawallet, but it's the most intuitive interface for noobs. If you have a higher class of friends, then post private keys, or do some simple xor on them as a puzzle.

It doesn't have to be this specific amount, or frequency. It's just meant to light another fire under Bitcoin.

Post your experiences.

If we love Bitcoin, each one of us should be doing *some* of these things each week.

This is freaking huge in my book.

I just discovered this Firefox plugin called FireCoin. I allows you to support a website by easy donations. A site with specific meta information will allow the plugin to identify a Bitcoin address to send bitcoins. There's optional meta support for a description and "thanks" redirect.

I think it's a good start, but needs support for locating other bitcoin addresses on pages (like forums) to support helpful forum members (where, perhaps, the bitcoin uri scheme/links are not present or can't be implemented).
