I like the idea of charging a fee

Either you have dark pools free and available to anyone, eg.  don't limit to 1000BTC/$ +
Or don't have them at all.
862  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bounty for Bitcoin Animated Movie [13622.05 BTC ($2520) and growing] on: April 05, 2011, 06:49:22 AM
Unlocked because my separate bounty is still alive.

If the video makes it to the Digg frontpage, I will pay 1 BTC per digg it gets (max 2000). I'll also pay 500 if it makes it to the frontpage of Slashdot and 500 if it makes it to the frontpage of Reddit.

Even if it doesn't make it on those sites, I will pay 100 BTC per item below that I feel is satisfactorily covered.
- How Bitcoin works technically.
- Why Bitcoin will work economically.
- Why Bitcoin is better than the alternatives (PayPal, Liberty Reserve, cash, etc.)
- How to get started. Won
- (Professional-looking animation and audio.) Won
- (Long-term value for the Bitcoin community.) Won

So you could get a total of 3,600 from me. The video must not contain any major inaccuracies to qualify. I can help answer questions about how Bitcoin works, and there is a lot of info on the wiki.

Has anyone used http://www.xe.com/fx/?

Good or Bad experiences?  Would anyone recommend?

One solution would be to trade with family (or other trusted parties) in other countries.

Trusted traders well maintain accounts with their partners in other countries,  going in debt or credit with each other.

Only once they have become significantly unbalanced will the traders settle their accounts.

Settling the accounts could involve sending the funds to a relative of the trader in each country, or any other way that minimises international money transfers.

The way around this is a face to face bitcoin for cash over the counter kind of trade.

This requires sellers to be physically present to do this though.

We need an international backbone of trusted Bitcoin traders to feed the in-person OTC trades, otherwise the OTC trader quickly has all BTC or local currency.

We need to start thinking of creative solutions.  Grin

Over the last two months I have been intently observing the growth of the Bitcoin economy.  The interest in Bitcoin has been astounding, well at least until the interested party tries to buy some.

Buying Bitcoin's is an mission and a half.  Either the particular solution for the trader is non-obvious or requires a huge amount of effort.

As a community we need to do better if we seriously want Bitcoin to succeed!

Some of my idea's to help:
  • Write a 'Trading Guide' explaining the best practices for trading Bitcoin
  • Make Bitcoin-OTC easier to use
  • Moderate the marketplace forum more strictly, enforce well formed titles and styles
  • Develop a backbone of international Bitcoin traders

Please post your ideas, and talk about what you can personalty do to help make Bitcoin liquid.

spenvo, BitcoinBulletin.com has the most annoying layout to read.]
The main text part should be not be so thin.  It is annoying to read when every sentience wraps.

I have contacted my friend if he would want to do this task, he can both read and speak Chinese.  I will put up 30 BTC collateral for him.  So you don't need to trust a new member.

I will give a yay or nay within 24h if it is happening. Smiley

I have written a best practices guide for trading online within the Bitcoin community.

Please Read!  Important information!

I'll register. What should I do once I do so? Do I need to send you an email letting you know my information or something?

Once you have resisted with bitcoin-otc, I can look you up at http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewgpg.php

I will then send you a pgp singed email that says 'I want to buy this kindle, and the terms of the deal'
You can reply with a singed email saying 'Yes that that is all good, here is my Bitcoin address for this transaction (you should use one Bitcoin address per transaction).

This means that if one of us do not hold up our end of the deal, we each have singed proof of our intentions.

Hope this makes scene, I'm looking forward to doing business with you.
