In the month of July, I tried to add money to my paypal account from my PCF account and it failed and there was no such charge.
However in the month of August, I tried to add money from my bank account twice and I got hit with two(2) $45 charges, what the hell is going on here?
PCF would be your bank? The problem is the "pull" processing method called ACH (well, in the U.S. it is ACH, there are similar electronic funds transfer methods in other countries). To add money to PayPal from a bank account you add info to "link" your bank account to your PayPal account. Then when you add money, PayPal attempts to pull funds from your bank, which they can do because you gave them permission to do so. If the problem was that you were trying to transfer funds that were not available in your bank account at the time, then the bank charges an overdraft -- regardless of whether they allows the withdrawal (putting your account negative) or rejected the transaction outright (leaving you with the overdraft fee and no funds added to PayPal.) That's probably why you see the fee that you are describing. Now why they didn't assess the overdraft fee the first time might have been an oversight, or perhaps an intervention by the bank staff as an act of mercy. Perhaps you would like to use a payment network that is "push" only, ... and thus has no concept of overdrafts. The name for that system is called Bitcoin. |

I have also tried pywallet to get a text file with the keys. This produces output in a format as described in the forums, but the private keys produced by pywallet don't actually match the address
Others have reported that same problem with pywallet: - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/4428 |

Putting the burden in someone elses hand like blockchain that holds a more experience than a newbie like myself seems more fitting currently.
The level of security necessary should be proportionate to your risk. A hybrid wallet like Blockchain.info/wallet might be fine for an amount that you might be willing to carry in your back pocket or so, but the use of Blockchain.info/wallet still depends on you maintaining a secure system. So for that reason, you would want to limit the amount of funds keps with an EWallet with, by definition, requires you to access it over the network. Another factor to consider is fees. Blockchain.info charges no fee to use the wallet and to withdraw. Additionally, if you wish to access the wallet from a mobile, not all EWallets have multiple access methods. Here's a comparison chart: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mobile_Payment_Apps |

If bitcoin.org wants to avoid being associated with fraudulent and illegal activities,
This forum is BitcoinTalk.org Is that perhaps what you meant to write? These categories have allowed entities to offer products that potentially violate US rules.
I didn't realize BitcoinTalk was based out of the U.S. And reportedly, it isn't. The forum isn't based in the US.

Operational results, MPOE
*******************
Overall trade 75`648 contracts, of which -12`312 +7`100 CALL ; -32`472 +23`764 PUT.
Could you describe what that breakdown is? Does that refer to how many MPOE had to be the counterparty for versus both sides being private parties? Or ... ended in the money, or? Incidentally, monthly results summarized here: - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmcTCtjBoRWUdFBCN29xMEtJbEdMOXEyN2pWTllId2c |

From the site: I will be receiving all shipments in Euro by mail, but not Greek-banknotes
(banknote-number begins with Y). - http://btc4euro.eu/Does that mean Euros are no longer truly fungible? |

I don't understand why people spend 1700 dollars on a mining rig
Bitcoin is not out of the woods. There are severe risks yet ... there could be a determination in the U.S. that Bitcoins are stored value used internationally and thus any business that accepts them as payment or for exchange must do full AML / KYC compliance, even for a 1 satoshi payment. (Of course, this is not at all likely to happen but is in the realm of possibilities). That would crush the bitcoin exchange rate for a while. So if you had a GPU rig, you could always sell the hardware and get back maybe 75% or more (or more than 100% including the mined BTCs that had already been cashed out). Whereas is you bought BTCs, you take the entire loss. That has changed though. Used GPUs are not selling near their "as new" price anymore. In a BTC/USD collapse, they'ld get even less. Used FPGAs may have value, depending on the model, but probably nowhere near the level used GPUs sell at, compared to "as new". Used ASICs end up essentially being paperweights at best. So, historically, GPU rigs were nearly guaranteed to be profitable (in terms of USDs invested) no matter which way the exchange rate went. Anyone buying one today either has free electricity or doesn't understand math hasn't performed the proper profitability computations. |

however when gold, oil and s&p500 futures are added, opportunities would greatly increase.
Will that be XAU/USD or XAU/BTC ? (or, for example for Brent crude ... OIL/USD or OIL/BTC )? Also, ... get to it! OIL is going up!  |

I don't think "I have income denominated in bitcoin" is a very good answer, either.
Do you consider trading on margin to be a loan? Some do. |

feel free to leave more suggestions to us!
Looks awesome! Is there room under the price chart to skip in a little volume chart? (don't weave it in like BitcoinCharts does ... there's sufficient real estate for a little chart underneath (like not even 1/3rd the height of the price chart is needed.) |

BTC-e, for instance, appears to now be allowing LR deposits and withdrawals once again. (Their most recent update of their deposit and withdraw methods no longer has the "temporarily unavailable" warning removed. - https://btc-e.com/news/88 ) But BitInstant is no longer accepting LR it appears. I also notice more digital currency exchanges are accepting Bitcoin. There's the originals yet, ... Aurum X Change, Nanaimo Gold, WM-Center and Lilion Transfer (and now Bitcoins Direct) but newly added (or fairly new... like new in 2012) are ECurrencyZone.net euromoneychange.com fastexchanger.net minute-exchange.com and a few others possibly. Instead of LR being the common denominator used for exchanging digital currencies it appears Bitcoin is starting to fill that role. |

This is what I need, a site like taskrabbit that takes bitcoin, and can be used in my city.
Or use TaskRabbit, if they were to simply to start taking bitcoin for payment. They don't even accept Dwolla yet, so Bitcoin is probably even further out. You can get on Dwolla's notification list though to learn when that happens, if it eventually does. When that happens then there would be at least a not all that complicated path: BTC --> USD (at an exchange) --> Dwolla --> TaskRabbit. - https://www.dwolla.com/places/taskrabbit-hq/joz3dzayfh9pbyobOne way someone who is unbanked or doesn't want to use their own credit card can use TaskRabbit is to buy a TaskRabbit gift e-code. Someone on the #bitcoin-otc marketplace would be willing to make the purchase and enter your e-mail address as the recipient. - http://www.taskrabbit.com/giftAnother service that at one point was kind of similar to TaskRabbit (though I'm not sure how similar they are still), is Zaarly. And though they don't take Bitcoin yet, they will likely be accepting Dwolla: Zaarly's a marketplace. Dwolla does payments. So, one audience member asked towards the end of the session, can we ever expect to see the two startups work together?
[Zaarly CEO] Fishback said there's a high probability. "We've been talking about it for awhile," he said. "There's some cool magic to be done between Zaarly and Dwolla ... I have no doubt about that."
"I'd bet an enormous amount of money," he continued, "that sometime in the next year there will be some cool stuff going on there." - http://www.omaha.com/article/20120329/MONEY07/303299780/-1At some point Bitcoin becomes just one more tiny icon next to the others .... We accept: VISA / MasterCard / Dwolla / Bitcoin |

What about a protocol that used the figures in percentage (in scientific notation, sure) relatively the totality of bitcoins instead of a number of bitcoins that is completly arbitarily.
The protocol only knows satoshis (1 satoshi = 0.00000001 BTC). So the client display code is what knows the concept of a bitcoin. So you are simply describing a change to the display portion of client code. You code create a fork of the Bitcoin-qt client to do this. I can't think of a single person who would want it (except maybe some mathematicians who might like the novel look) but there isn't any technical reason this couldn't be done today. |

Ive been loading blockchain.info wallets and making QR codes of the Keys and putting the passwords underneath.
Hopefully there are instructions given to the recipient to change the password before adding any additional funds to the wallet. For convenience the private key from a note handed out can be imported into a Blockchain.info/wallet and a card with that wallet's URL be handed out as well. Thus the recipient has a piece of paper that can be exchanged with someone else, but also has that amount online, needing nothing more than to log in before it can be spent. A few times that I've handed out paper bitcoins at functions I've hand-printed an expiration date (e.g,. 30 days from the event date) as only a fraction of them actually ever get redeemed by the recipient. But putting on the expiration date I am able to avoid wasting any funds to recipients that didn't choose to participate. This lets me distribute a higher amount (e..g,. 0.1 BTC) in situations where this is out of pocket. There might be only 1 out of 10 who actually redeems the funds, unfortunately (depending on your audience). So simply after the expiration date the funds are reclaimed and reloaded onto additional paper bitcoins to be used at some future event. |
