We processed over 7000 BTC (about $35,000) worth in transactions during April and that is strong growth over the previous month. This represents bitcoins being used in real commerce to buy real goods and services. We are happy with our progress thus far and believe that several more years of investment will yield good results. Looking forward, our continued growth is dependent on our ability to attract more merchants selling higher priced products. We believe that our ability to deliver risk free, next day deposits for very large, international orders sets us apart from many other payment processors.
Awesome! So both Bit-pay and BitInstant saw excellent growth in April. Great to see corroborating figures. |

Also, it should be noted that BitInstant is a "derivative service" in Bitcoinland. Meaning, people only use BitInstant if they're already using (or plan to use) Bitcoins for some other useful purpose (whether entertainment, shopping, value transfer to 3rd party, paying for services, etc). BitInstant is not an end-point for Bitcoin funds, but merely a bridge to other end-points. What this means is that whatever size BitInstant achieves, the real Bitcoin economy must necessarily be some factor larger. BitInstant can thus be viewed as a fractional proxy of Bitcoinland, so these figures are quite wonderful to hear  |

This is why your service shouldn't be free. You need to charge money and buy a maintenance team with it.
I'm not sure I'd pay much just to have guaranteed 100% uptime. A site going down for a bit isn't a huge deal... so long as it's not hacked and comes back reasonably soon (and it doesn't happen often) then it's worth the freeness. Piuk's better than any maintenance team anyway  |

I think either layout is fine. But what I have a stronger opinion on is the terminology used on that page. When a new Bitcoin-user arrives on that page (a non-techie), he will think the following: 1) "What the hell is a "graphical interface" and how does that relate to Bitcoin" 2) "Are all these softwares equivalent? Do they serve the same purpose? Do I need one or several of them?" 3) "Which one is the official client?" To solve these questions, I propose the following: 1) Change the "Graphical Interface" title to "Bitcoin Client Software" 2+3) Create little blub under the heading, saying "Below you will find several leading Bitcoin clients. Any of them will work for all basic Bitcoin functionality. Bitcoin-Qt is the original software, and if you're unsure which one to use, you should default to Bitcoin-Qt." <-- I'd also append this last sentence to the beginning of the Bitcoin-Qt description. The current sentence "Bitcoin Qt is the frontend for the original code written by Satoshi" will be confusing/meaningless to any non-techie Great idea to get these clients on that page!! |

I believe Crypto X Change ( cryptoxchange.com) accepts ZAR and can send ZAR out to your bank as well. Give them a try! |

I've done some bitcoin projects but am new to the forum here. I'm doing code and development for this project: http://satoshidice.com/Other projects of mine: AI Image generation, not bitcoin related http://1209k.com/nest/For a while I was selling bitcoin using Google Checkout because I love chargebacks. They make me all tingly. I can vouch for Fireduck, please unjail him! |

Did you miss the irony in your signature?
Asking for voluntary donations is the same as selling a product that is highly targeted? Hmmm one might say it's more legitimate. When you're selling something, there's a two-way benefit. When you're requesting a donation, it's a one-way benefit to yourself (save that the person might feel good about donating, of course). I'm just being hard on you cause it was funny to decry advertising when you're advertising in your own signature |

That talk was roughly 50% about Bitcoin. THAT is how a virtual currency panel should be done!
