Incidentally, who wants to wager if or when Casascius will be Bitcoin's Bernard von Nothaus? Thinking of how to word it, and guessing what dates to use: - http://www.betsofbitco.in |

Though just the first 8 characters of the bitcion address are on the coin itself, am I given the full Bitcoin address on the shipping list or something so that I can verify the address truly has funds? (or to add funds to it if I wish?)

Unless it is those that held big balances at the exchanges, the BitcoinDays Destroyed metric barely budged with all those coins moving around -- i.e., it doesn't appear to have been trading of old coins that are just now being unloaded on the markets. - http://abe.john-edwin-tobey.org/chain/Bitcoin?count=2016 |

I see that Ruxum exchange will accept GoldMoney Gold Grams, Silver and Palladium for adding funds to the exchange. The metal is converted at current rates for the trading currency you choose, less a fee. You need to be signed in to read the details but they show it on this page: - http://x.ruxum.com/account/transfers/deposit |

Come October 1 [...] follow 'know your customer' (FinCEN) rules within the US, if you want to purchase or sell Bitcoins through an exchange intermediary Care to share specifically what the significance of October 1st is? There are a lot of banking changes on 10/1 due to Durbin related regulation but I'ld like to know what KYC changes you believe will occur on 10/1 as well. |

Generally card vendors charge ~$3 for each cash withdrawal. Bummer. Here's a few that don't:
[...]
Are there any more?
Are you asking which banks issue cards that don't require a fee for withdrawal at ATMs of other banks? If so, USAA is one. (they reimburse the fee) |

Incidentally, whether or not the #bitcoin-otc marketplace was used, the OTC Web of Trust (WoT) can still be used to give and receive ratings. - http://bitcoin-otc.com/trust.php |

I'm sure many of us have noticed the 'Margin trading (coming soon)' on Mt Gox, and I wonder what the community thinks to trading BTC on margin.
Margin trading was to be a feature already possible at HelloBitcoin.com though being based out of the U.S. (they claim, though I've seen no proof of this) they are required to impose a minimum balance restriction of $2K USD. Their order book is pretty thin yet though so even with a margined account you couldn't do much activity. But it is possible today, apparently. - http://www.hellobitcoin.com |

Without a premium at this point for adopting the currency, what incentive is there to use bitcoin over eBay? What incentive is there to accept bitcoin over *PayPal*, did you mean to write? For a U.S. seller, PayPal takes 2.9% + $0.30 of the payment. for a $100 sale, that means just $96.80 would be received. Accepting $100 worth of bitcoin at the current bid, then trading them on an exchange would cost less than 1%, and you would get about $99.00 USD as a result. $99.00 beats $96.80 by most all measures. |

(PS I do not know whether oDesk charges you for creating a job, if so take those fees off the $40)
oDesk's fees paid by the employer are 10% of the "job". - http://www.odesk.com/help/help/policies/fee_policyIf you are hoping for a $40 payout, then you probably meant to suggest adding those fees on top of the $40 then? e.g., $40/0.90 = $44.40 payment to oDesk, oDesk takes the 10% cut ($4.44) leaving $40 to you. Of course, setting up a fake job listing for the purpose of simply transmitting money is certainly against oDesk's terms of service. There have been reports of oDesk suspending accounts that they suspect of participating in money laundering, though I'm not trying to imply that this type of transaction would be considered to be that. For the prescribed use though oDesk's list of countries in which they treat the withdrawal transfers as "local currency" (i.e., can do a domestic bank transfer) is interesting as there are nearly no Bitcoin exchanges supporting hardly any of them: Armenia, Bulgaria, Colombia, Croatia, Egypt, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, Serbia, South Africa, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Uruguay. - http://www.odesk.com/community/node/17020 |

Why can't we apply the bitcoin paradigm of decentralised cryptographically secure authority to other aspects of society, and reap the benefits? This thread is partly just to toss around some of my ideas The title reads "public institutions", but then you used an example of medicine which is still somewhat a privatize industry in certain parts of the world. As far as decentralized, there is recent news that AirBNB's model of decentralized room rental for allowing homeowners and apartment dwellers to compete against hotels is now adding sublet (i.e. monthly) rental as well: http://mashable.com/2011/09/01/airbnb-monthly-rentals-subletsi.e., decentralization is an approach that is spreading and can grow further. There's an amazing amount of innovation happening where decentralization is occurring. See this list of organizations, for example: - http://www.collaborativeconsumption.com/the-movement/snapshot-of-examples.php |

The answer is: Yes. It is VERY illegal. You're looking at some serious prison time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_launderingMoney laundering is disguising illegal sources of money so that it looks like it came from legal sources. Why would you assume I have an illegal source of money? The use of a mixing service does not automatically mean money laundering is occurring. [edited] |

Is there a method for me to change the password with the service? I haven't used it yet but now wish to and want to set the password to one created by strong password generator.

All ideas and feedback welcome. The Summary for a block shows "Previous block" but the value displayed is not the block number but the index, which makes it confusing. - e.g. http://pi.uk.com/bitcoin/143815 |
