I see that BTCPak still only sells $100 worth at a time at present. Are you going to be adding these larger denominations?

The other side:
- People are already running numerous exchanges. How could a very simple wallet web app possibly be in violation of any law?
If you are trying to withdraw large amounts of bitcoins from an exchange, if they are practicing AML/KYC recommendations they are likely to request identity first. Perhaps because an InstaWallet service deals only with bitcoins and doesn't touch fiat those AML/KYC restrictionis don't apply? The difference between an instawallet service and any other online ewallet is that an instawallet is like an anonymous, bearer negotiable instrument. Anyone who knows the URL can spend the funds. Which makes it transferable from one person to the next without there being any record of it. Just like with cash. My jurisdiction is Finland, EU, but feel free to discuss any area at all.
The FAQ page for BtcBuckets (an instant wallet service) reads: "About the creator I am a recently graduated 26 year old attorney licensed to practice in New Jersey." - https://www.btcbuckets.com/faq/ |

(or other site) and it doesn't ship internationally.
Though Amazon already is covered (there are sellers of Amazon gift cards that can be used for payment and Amazon ships most things internationally), there is a place for a service like you describe. goes to the postal office and ship it internationally.
Bitcoin Agents does that: - http://www.BitcoinAgents.com |

I am not exactly sure who maintains the Bitcoin Wiki (en.bitcoin.it/wiki), b
I can confirm this ... e.g., when attempting to login. MagicalTux (operator of Mt. Gox) operates the Bitcoin wiki. Will send a PM to him. [Update: Recover steps being performed: https://twitter.com/#!/KalyHost/status/176785542476861440 ] |

How can we as a group of users support bitcoin in the long run, other than mining and using bitcoins as currency?
I find that carrying around a Casascius physical bitcoin comes in handy as a way to introduce someone to bitcoin. Though many people (particularly in the tech industry) know of bitcoin, few have seen a physical bitcoin. To help explain it, I also keep a "broken" Casascius coin as well. The mystery of how bitcoin can be a physical coin is explained simply by saying how the code printed on the outside is for receiving coins, and the code underneath the hologram is simply like a password. The value of the coin remains protected until the hologram has been tampered with. - http://www.casascius.com - http://memorydealers.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=bitcoinHas anyone here considered running an online business centered around bitcoins? The currently available ones are not that great in terms of quality. Most are also based on the bidding system and not on buy now ideology. There are a limited number of e-commerce sites thus far. As far as buy-now, possibly the one with the widest selection is: - http://www.BitcoinDeals.comAnd a more comprehensive list of sites and services accepting bitcoin as payment: - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/TradeAn existing e-commerce site can add bitcoin as a payment method with a shopping cart interface (e.g., weex just updated the Bitcoin module for OSCommerce) or there are payment processing systems such as Bit-Pay which enable that. - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/OsCommerce_Bitcoin_Payment_Module - https://bit-pay.comAre you are looking to create a site or service where bitcoins accepted and are looking for ideas, or do you have a specific idea you are considering implementing? |

This now shows on the order form. Are there any photos of this?

Sorry for bumping but I need an answer! It all depends on when the transaction gets included in the first block. After that it will be in about an hour to "confirm" with six confirmations, which is the threshold most sites and wallets use. If you are receiving those using the bitcoin client, you can spend those after one confirmation. Because the amount of that transaction is so small, (under a penny) it could take quite a while (hours to days even) before that gets included in a block. If it was sent where a fee was paid with the transaction would lessen the delay. You can see the status of the transaction here: - http://www.blockchain.infoNow if the network shows it as being confirmed but your bitcoin client doesn't, then read this: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ#I_was_sent_some_bitcoins_and_they_haven.27t_arrived_yet.21_Where_are_they.3F |

I can help! Eu posso ajudar!
You should consider signing up as a Bitcoin Agent (who provides this same type of service). There are none yet for Brazil. - http://www.bitcoinagents.com |

emailing MtGox coupon codes is not secure Does that mean BitInstant does direct to the other exchanges (Crypto X Change, Bitcoinica) as well (instead of sending redeemable codes for them)? Stay tuned for more BIG announcemts this week.
More exchanges! More Deposit Methods! More Withdrawal Methods!
Looking forward to seeing that! |

I'm able to buy/sell gold and silver and put them in my bank savings account online
I don't intend to hijack this thread but that statement is interesting to me. Are you saying that in China there are gold-denominated bank accounts? |

A bug report here.
When I attempt to spend the full amount in my wallet without considering the 0.0005 fee, I am presented with the dialog "Miners Fee Recommended". If I click the Add Fee button, nothing happens. This is presumably because I don't have enough in my wallet to cover the payment + fee. If I instead spend only enough so that I have 0.0005 (or more) available for the fee, the Add Fee then is accepted an I am able to proceed.
A second problem. If I have an empty wallet but attempt a new transaction using Send Money, after clicking Review Transaction I am presented with the error message: "Error getting unspent outputs. Please check your internet connection.". Is there no way to discern that the problem is not connectivity but that there are no funds?

No, wrong. That's exactly what the client will do on its own. If I send you 2 separate payments to the same address, they stay as two separate payments to that address. And if you spend them both at once, they'll show up as two inputs from the same address in the transaction. That's the only time that separate payments ever get 'mixed'.
I should have known that. Thanks for clarifying! I found in the wiki a little more explanation: - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transactions#Input |

Place your bets: December 9th or earlier the bitcoin block reward will drop to 25 BTC - http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=312Personally, I'm stumped. I do think the marginal GPU miners (e.g., where electricity is expensive, or not much capacity) will see the 25 BTC drop coming up and some will sell off their hardware to prior to this date. (meaning capacity drops and the date comes after December 9th.) On the other hand, FPGA miners by then could be plentiful (which would cause capacity to increase, and the date come before December 9th). Also, if the BTC/USD heads higher the date before December 9th becomes more likely as more capacity gets added. Who knows. |

The site doesn't seem to display full precision on the numbers. If my bucket has 0.12345678 BTC shouldn't it show that number, rather than 0.12 BTC?
|

|

Just an FYI -- It appears the number of confirmations before the funds appear as being available is three. And there is a wiki page for this now: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BtcBuckets |

You can still do sends unless you've specifically disabled that option.
I see. I didn't realize Instant Send was still and option after locked. That still leaves a method that you'ld have a bad bucket though. 1.) uncheck "Allow Instant Sends" 2.) lock 3.) Click the "Fix Spouts" The end result is a bucket that can receive but no method of sending is possible, right? |

What happens if I click "lock" without first setting up a spout to be able to withdraw the funds?
