Hmm... it's been more than 12 hours and I still haven't received any notification email nor anything within my paypal account... anything abnormal?
Yes. Can you please email jeremyATspendbitcoins.com with the amount and bitcoin address you sent the payment to? |

Why can't I do an internet transfer to buy bitcoins in Australia? Because bitcoin transactions are non-reversible and bank transfers are reversible. Technocash was previously doing bank transfers to Mt Gox for Australians and had their accounts frozen by NAB due to fraud complaints. By only allowing cash deposits, we are protecting ourselves from having the same thing happen to us, which means we can stay in business. We realise this is a lot less convenient, but unfortunately it is necessary to keep the business running. |

We have big things planned, and our current programmers are too busy with their full-time jobs to get things going as quickly as we want.
If you are a web developer, well-versed in not only front-end but also backend programming of secure websites and browser extensions, and would like to come on-board as a partner with a stake in the company, please email a resume (of sorts--doesn't have to be formal) to jeremyATspendbitcoins.com to get the conversation going.
I have moved this to project development because we are attempting to create something new. Here's the idea: A browser extension includes bookmarks to all of our affiliate pages ( http://links.spendbitcoins.com) and allows you to spend bitcoins on all those pages without having to go to the Spend Bitcoins site. If you have the technical skills & time to set this up, we want you on-board as our new partner! Please email or PM us ASAP. Thanks! Jeremy |

There's some talk over here about doing some Bitcoin integration with Amazon via userscripts. Would you be interested in providing an API to facilitate this? Even if the purchaser has to wait on a manual fulfillment from you, it would be nice to have near-seamless integration. As for your affiliate accounts, is there a way to link the order to you even if it is almost finished? I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I like your spendbitcoins site; thanks for your work! Hey there, We're working on a browser extension that does just that, and uses a pull-down menu to go to Spend Bitcoins affiliate links for all your bitcoin spending needs. Your script may be a big help in getting the extension done. Thanks! We're looking for a web developer to get this going ASAP. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=57275.0 |

EDIT: We have taken on a full-time web developer as a partner and will soon be rolling out some great changes.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Idea: Userscript for Bitcoin integration into Amazon
|
on: January 08, 2012, 10:26:02 AM

Cool idea! Here's a stab at replacing the prices, with a hardcoded exchange rate. Hover to see original price. Tested in Chrome and Firefox, it seems to get most prices; I've noticed some that get loaded after the page has loaded don't get replaced. I'm not sure the best way to handle that. It's only USD right now. // ==UserScript==
// @name Amazon Bitcoins
// @namespace joeyhewitt
// @description Show prices on Amazon in Bitcoin
// @match http://www.amazon.com/*
// @match https://www.amazon.com/*
// ==/UserScript==
// https://gist.github.com/437513
(function(callback) {
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.textContent = "(" + callback.toString() + ")(jQuery);";
document.body.appendChild(script);
})(function($) {
var BTCPerUSD = 6.59;
var convertUSD = function(text) {
return text.replace(/\$\d+(\.\d\d)?/g, function(USD) {
return (parseFloat(USD.substring(1)) / BTCPerUSD).toFixed(2)+ ' BTC';
});
};
$('.t14, .price, .priceLarge, .listprice, .tmm_olpLinks>a, #actualPriceExtraMessaging, .fionaBuyBox font, .t11, .mbcPriceCell, .plusShippingText').each(function() {
var $priceEl = $(this);
var originalPriceText = $priceEl.text();
var btcPriceText = convertUSD(originalPriceText);
$priceEl.hover( function() { $(this).text(originalPriceText); },
function() { $(this).text(btcPriceText) } );
$priceEl.text(btcPriceText);
});
});
As for the actual purchasing part, http://spendbitcoins.com/ takes BTC and gives Amazon gift codes in several currencies. If they could provide an AJAXable API for price quotes and retrieving the code (including updates on them waiting for confirmations, etc.), we'd be mostly done, right? EDIT: Updated code and link Wow! Just downloaded the script. Pretty cool! This should help us big time in finishing up our browser extension. Thanks! |

cool, next question then:
do you have the cashflow to be able to pay a $5000 bill... or, what would be a reasonable limit to assume?
Not a problem. Happy spending! are their no limits at all? is their a limit to the number of transaction we can do per day? There are no hard limits. $5000 would be a good guide. There is no limit to the number of transactions. If you happen to make an order for more than I have on hand for the particular method you have chosen, I reserve the right to give you the option of waiting a day or two or taking a bitcoin refund. This has happened 1 or 2 times in the 8 months I've been running the service. |

By the way, I can actually probably do the equivalent of about 3 full-time jobs this way. I used to do a data entry job for Visa (yes, I used to work for one of the major credit card companies, ironic, eh?) from home that everyone else did in the office and I did in 12 hours what my office counterparts did in 40.

Economy / Services / Will work for bitcoins -- Virtual Assistant
|
on: December 30, 2011, 01:30:38 AM
|
I am currently looking for work as a virtual assistant for one or more persons or companies. My position at my day job was eliminated today in a downsizing move, as they have not been doing well in this economy. What's in it for you (and/or anyone else you know who needs some work taken off their plate):A hard-working customer service focussed individual whose number one concern is always the satisfaction of his customers (internal and external) and always gets his work done in both a professional and timely manner (for evidence, see http://bitcoinfeedback.spendbitcoins.com, http://feedback.spendbitcoins.com & http://ebay.spendbitcoins.com). Relevant skills: Customer service (phone, email &/or instant message), typing, data entry, writing &/or proofreading, back-office operations (purchasing, accounts receivable, accounts payable etc)--basically a well-rounded office professional. What's in it for me:I'm about to go back to university to get a degree in Clinical Psychology. Being a virtual assistant will allow me to set my own hours to some degree so that I can attend lectures and study as well as work full time and run Spend Bitcoins. I am looking to earn approximately 1000 USD worh of BTC a week minimum, but that can be spread out among multiple employers if there isn't one who has enough work for that salary. If you have any amount of work for me, please PM me or better yet email jeremyATspendbitcoins.com. |
