I think this idea deserves more recognition.
A phone is much more accessible and widely available than a computer. There are many, many people for whom they only got a phone.
Even some kind of SMS / gateway / key exchange would be something... being able to send a payment by sms to a gateway server with an unsupported phone to a supported phone, for example, or to a trusted third party who can handle the transaction for us.
By rolling passcode perhaps.
That would fantastic, and possibly not too much of a major overhaul needed?
Inspired?
I am working on an open source SMS project that may be capable of providing this capability. However, I am not so familiar with how payment would be handled by text messages. |

How would it be possible to use SMS to buy/sell bitcoins?

is there any usefulness for SMS/Text Messaging integration with Bitcoin in any way?

If you have a local ap (apache+php) server, you can run this code and keep it open in browser window and it should update approximately every second. It isn't 100% precise, but fairly close.

I'm recently unemployed and have since established much interest in Bitcoin community as well as contributing developmental aspects towards some related things, but I need a job to survive/support myself. Is anyone hiring? :3

From the source code: main.h: // To limit dust spam, require a 0.01 fee if any output is less than 0.01
I added this little tidbit into my IRC bot: According to http://is.gd/dsqcH the world population is 6,855,986,675. If everyone had the same amount of bitcoins, everyone would have 0.00306302 bitcoins. If 0.00000001 bitcoins were equivalent to US$0.01, then everyone would have equivalent of US$3,063.01645489 and the value of all bitcoins would be equivalent of US$21,000,000,000,000.00. How would the BTC0.01 fee affect things considering above? |

A B with two lines through it without the circle may be a bit confusing or too similar to the Thai currency considering the US$ symbol is sometimes used with one or two lines. So additionally a circle around it like the icon used with the client and also the favicon used at this site seems like a good idea.

A tiny bit now, but in a couple years? Here's a snippet from my IRC bot. According to http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html the world population is 6,855,970,029. If everyone had the same amount of bitcoins, everyone would have 0.00306302 bitcoins. If 0.00000001 bitcoins were equivalent to US$0.01, then everyone would have equivalent of US$3,063.02389176 and the value of all bitcoins would be equivalent of US$21,000,000,000,000.00. |

I suggest a character representative of symbol for Bitcoin currency be submitted to http://unicode.org/pending/proposals.html฿ doesn't seem to be worthy considering it already is well established as Thai baht (currency). |
