The wiki page you might have been referring to is this? - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Real_world_shopsI liked the map interface used for this site, but with entries getting aged off, no business is going to keep returning to re-add their marker on a weekly basis. - http://www.bitcoinlocator.com |

1.) Use multi-factor authentication. If your exchange doesn't offer multi-factor (e.g., yubikey or mobile sms/text verification) then consider finding a new exchange. 2.) Contact your local police and/or #bitcoin-police - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Police |

There are so many options for cashing out of bitcoins ... why PayPal? If you are in the U.S., many exchanges offer withdrawal to your bank account with ACH. (just like how withdrawing from PayPal to a linked bank account works). If you are in the SEPA zone in the E.U, there are multiple exchanges that offer the ability for you to withdraw to your bank account as a SEPA transfer For Canada, same thing -- easy bank transfer. For those without a bank account, perhaps a family member or trusted friend would accept a bank transfer as a favor to you. And then have it sent via PayPal from there, if you still really want PayPal after that. There are many options: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Selling_bitcoins |

Are the fee's included in the transaction with the other trade sites? or does the 0.3% fee (for example) get added after? They occur at the same time as the trade transaction. Some exchanges list them as separate transactions in the history, and others include a fee column but all exchanges charge the fee when the trade is made. Some exchanges subtract the fee from the proceeds of the trade. For example if buying 1 BTC at $10 and there is a 0.3% fee, you will be charged $10 but will only receive 0.997 BTC. Others add the fee to the purchase price. For example, to buy 1 BTC at $10, the amount charged is $10.03. The fixed-rate exchanges would normally be the ones that function this way. |

Strangely, there aren't many other options. - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:EWalletsBitcoin would really benefit from a trusted and professional ewallet service. There have been great strides in the past weeks as far as options available for EWallets. Yet even with a trustworthy provider there are risks. For instance, only a couple of EWallets support multifactor authentication -- and those are through exchanges. So if you feel the need to use an ewallet provider, perhaps use a couple or more different ones to lessen the risks. |

Serve is giving away $10 for answering a trivia question. The catch is that you then need to either have a Serve account or need to sign up for one in order to get the funds. This is available in the U.S. only. - http://www.playmoneymover.comOnce you have the funds in your account they can be sent to any other Serve user, spent using the Serve prepaid debit card, or withdrawn to a bank account. How Serve works and why it is relevant to Bitcoiners was described shortly after its April Launch - http://www.bitcoinmoney.com/post/4165831078This promotioin is similar to Dwolla's giveway program earlier this year where amounts from $1 to $5 were given away. Over a decade ago, PayPal (then x.com) gained a user base by offering the same deal -- $10 for signing up. |

A wallet cemetery service.
Having bitcoin on many computers and virtual machines, I have many wallets that I've used at one time but don't think I will ever use again. I'ld simply delete these but I never know if, for some reason, someone at a later time would send another transaction to the same address that is now in a dead, deleted wallet.
A service I think might be useful would be to accept my empty wallet as an upload, which would then import the keys from that wallet and associate them to my account. If any funds are ever received to those addresses, I get a certain percent, and the cemetary service gets a cut for their efforts. I would use it even if I only got back just half though I suspect the rate could not be too excessive or competition would emerge (and because I still might have the wallets backed up, the competitor could become even as far as ability to spend any coins that arrive.)
I do know that once the merge capability is in the bitcoin client that this cemetary service will be less necessary, but at the same time, uploading a wallet and entering an email address is going to be the simplest solution -- which often becomes the winning solution.
I'ld love to see someone offer such a service.

It's been discussed before, and I think someone is working on one. Search for "Bitcoin ATM". I don't think the deposit of cash is something that is being considered for now. Supported is only the dispensing of cash, if I remember correctly. Now that ExchB accepts cash and check deposits at any Wells Fargo or Chase branch, the deposit problem just got less difficult, at least in the U.S. - http://www.exchangebitcoins.com/help |

I have some BTC and I'd like to convert them to either Paypal balance, or alternatively something I can use for credit card transactions (like a prepaid debit card or virtual gift card). What is the simplest, most effective way to accomplish this?
Because trading bitcoins with PayPal as the payment method violates PayPal's Acceptable Use agreement, you won't find much in the way of exchanges doing that. You might find some individuals who will do this trade, on #bitcoin-otc marketplace, for instance. Since you are the party accepting the PayPal, you would be the party incurring the risk shoudl the buyer reverse the payment at any time ... months after the transaction even. As far as prepaid cards, there are several: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Selling_bitcoins - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade#Gift.2FDebit_Cards - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade#Gift_CardsIf you do an OTC trade, this is useful reading: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Secure_Trading#Use_Bitcoin-OTC - http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/Using_bitcoin-otc#Risk_of_fraud[Update: Oh, hey! - http://www.aurumxchange.com/help/index.php?act=article&code=view&id=4 - http://www.aurumxchange.com/cards4% 3% load fee, $3 per ATM, $5.95 monthly maintenance. (see below) $21.99 for the card if you don't buy it preloaded with $799.75 load using Mt. Gox USD redeemable code/voucher or LR USD] |

Well I have been around a little and seen that I can sell runscape gold for dollars at several sites online, now I just look for a place where they buy RS gold with bitcoins.
Anybody who know a place ?
There have been plenty of Runescape / bitcoin trades here on the forums (Marketplace) and on the #bitcoin-otc marketplace as well. Runescape is one of the few games that formally allow trading of the in-game currency or any other transaction you wish to make: - http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/free_trade_getting_started#free_tradeWhat isn't clear .. are you looking to buy or sell runescape gold? |

Does this have something to do with Bitcoin? I supposed technically it could be argued that since LR is accepted by many Bitcoin exchanges and LR is hard to acquire that this could be Bitcoin related. It would best if it were moved to the Marketplace subforum though. As far as renting out your connection ... interesting. Violate's the ISP's terms of service, I'ld wager, but interesting. I wonder why specifically Idaho. |
