Am I asking for too much?
|
|
|
|
|
What about bank transfers?
Do banks in general accept that you send money from their office without asking for ID?

Well, this is not my main business idea, just some market research regarding gold sales.

Phelix,
Can the namecoin client run behind Tor?
The error message is something like: Warning, to use namecoind...
|
|
|

What is it with humans that make us volunteer sometimes, especially on the internet?

Do you have a link to a windows 7 64-bit version?
just use the normal 32bit version from here: https://dot-bit.org/Main_PagePhelix,
How can I receive the shares?
you need to start a namecoind instance to create a wallet. then you can issue yourself or I can send them to you. If you never used bitcoind I am not sure this is the right thing for you, though... let's just say I warned you  I tried starting namecoind but I got a couple of error messages. Now it just starts the command window, some text blinks by and then closes again. |

The premium on a 10g bar of gold is about 5-6%. Add the 10% "administrative" fee, and the price of gold has to go up 15% to $1978 per oz. (a new record) just to break even.
Buying a 1g bar is even sillier -- the premium is around 20%.
There is a better ways to buy small amounts -- buy shares of a gold ETF, such as GLD (dollars), or LGT (litecoins). You can buy and sell small amounts with relatively low transaction fees.
The 10% administrative fee from my side has been removed. Perhaps I will add a set fee for each item sent, if this business goes live. |

How can I anonymously exchange BTC for cash and vice versa without sending cash in the mail?
There's a reason why cash-in-the-mail is well used ... privacy for the sender remains intact. So if you are buying bitcoins with cash-in-the-mail, your transaction remains quite private. But if you are cashing out your coins, cash-in-the-mail to you does not necessarily protect your privacy from the sender knowing who you are. The challenge in trying to transfer a physical item without the sender knowing the recipient is something seen quite often in spy movies. The same techniques applies though for truly anonymous cash transfers, including the tactic of employing a dead drop: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_dropThere are secure communications methods (e.g., GibberBot + Orbot on an Android mobile) that can let two counterparties conduct a trade without ever needing to directly interact. Certainly though, there could be restrictions against transferring cash in this manner in many jurisdictions -- particularly with larger amounts of cash. Now if in instead you simply meant how can you trade without showing an ID, there are many methods. Bitcoins Direct now takes cash deposit at several banks. BitMe.com accepts cash deposits at Chase. Individual traders on LocalBitcoins.com can be found. And for cashing out, LocalBitcoins.com works for that as well. Another option instead of simply converting to cash for everything, bitcoins can be spent when making purchases. If the places you would consider spending your coins at don't currently accept bitcoin, each reminder the merchant receives about bitcoin will help make the day where they do accept bitcoins come sooner. Nice reply, informative. Hmm... There should be a more convenient solution for this. Perhaps as localbitcoins.com grows it will become easier and easier. |

Could bitcoin crowdfunding work or is the market too small? Post your opinion.
It could work and maybe it will work in future, but IMHO at the moment the market is too small and there are too many scammer around: I've the experience of btcjam for loans, even high rated borrowers has turn out to be scammer (I've over 50% of scam over the loan I made). Interesting. Do you have any ideas for crowdfunding projects that you don't mind sharing? |

Guys, those were excellent replies : ) Just the kind of replies I was hoping for. I couldn't have dreamed that you would fill out the whole form. Now, if you could do it in the wiki at http://bitcoinfreelancing.t15.org/wiki/questionnaire/ instead, maybe we could create some interesting pieces of crowdsourced creative content. I want definite answers to questions such as "what is a question" : ) |

My kingdom for a link...
Google team, if you read this, that was not a serious offer. I am not operating a kingdoms vs links exchange.

A 10% admin fee for holding gold is ridiculous. I don't think you will find anyone that will take you up on this offer.
Oh, come on. It's not that bad. |

How can I anonymously exchange BTC for cash and vice versa without sending cash in the mail?
SRON
you can't. Only option is to employ proxies (real people) on both sides, who organize a real life meeting and exchange cash with BTC. Proxies? Hmm... Now that's a thought... Could you elaborate please? |

Anyone interested in investing in gold? It's pretty easy to buy gold in the town where I live. If I get ten investors I could pop down to the shop and buy 10g or so. We could keep it for a year, then sell it and split the profit.
I charge 10% as an administrative fee.
If this is not interesting, do you have any other suggestion for a similar operation?
SRON
Ok, this post has been updated.
I will try selling gold instead.
The gold will be sent by mail through recorded delivery. Let me know if you're interested and I will update with more specific info, check with gold shops in this town and so on.
Consider this post market research.
