I think it would be a good idea to do not so much a Bitcoin OS but a general privacy OS. It would have bitcoin functionality, automated encryption of everything, TOR, bitmessage and other similar software. There's Tails which is super tight for security but expansion is limited as it is designed to run off a DVD/thumb drive. Something in the middle between Tails and Ubuntu would be awesome.

Interesting site...It could be really good once you have a lot of less restrictive sell orders. Right now if you go on there with a specific amount of bitcoins you want to buy at a certain bank there's only a chance it will happen. Keep going though!

reddit is a good place to announc eit

I got a fake ID off silk road, opened up a PO box and buy gold which I can sell for cash locally. I can also order straight cash off Silk Road and localbitcoins though usually the fee is too high.

I'm amazed that people can get orders in at all. I've tried a few times the last few days with different browsers and always get "We are experiencing problems with one of our partners, please try again later." This is a probably a good thing reading the other responses in this thread.

Getting the unable to verify identity error message too. I don't understand why people are upset that you were down. Yes it would be a very good idea to give users a warning but they are a private company with no obligation to do things with preordained timing.

Tried bitinstant today but deposit slip will not download. I click create payment slip and nothing happens. Tried in Chrome, Firefox and IE.

ecardone is down for the count (domain seized!)

"I am unsure how much liberty reserve mattered in the scheme of things."

People that used Liberty Reserve and switched to bitcoin are for the most part not using Mt Gox. That is anyone involved in black market activities

I have heard that if you put MP codes from different geographical areas on your card it will flag it. Are all your MP's bought at one place?

I would suggest vacuum sealing any dollars going into the us postal system. Also you will want to put it behind several layers of opaque paper.

Honest trader. Got my btc right away and some bonus powercoin!

This is true, kids. The Man just came to my house, told me to put my wallet.dat on a floppy, and walked out with it.

Your lucky. I had my private key tattooed on my ass.....still can't sit down!

Not sure but many of my users report that it does now work for them. I have no idea why!

I need a form that encrypts like the one here: http://medicineman.6te.net
This form uses the javascript based hanewin encryption system and does not work on many browsers/platforms. I need something that works on at least most browsers/platforms. I also need to be able to swap out the public keys in the code. PM if you're interested and include a quote.

thanks!

blockchain.info has an api that makes it easy to automatically generate new addresses.

I'm actually more excited about the number of fantastically wealthy libertarians we'll have in a few years. As my bitcoin wealth grows I will be investing in all kinds of projects that will fuel the cause of freedom!

I would not use a public proxy (like private internet access), but a private bought one. Or log in from an internet cafe. Anyone who logs in to a fake paypal account from their home computer is a fool!

Yeah cash by mail is tricky. Maybe you should just accept postal money orders instead? You could easily prove you didn't cash it if you get an empty envelope.  Also I am curious as to how you keep things straight. If you have two people ordering $200 worth how do you tell them apart? I've seen other bitcoin businesses add small amounts (e.g. $200.04). Just curious.

nanaimogold, your site looks like what I'm looking for...will give it a try. Like the ease of it. I do want to say that you should really work on a more professional site design. My immediate reaction to the site was that it looked amateur and a possible scam. No offense i hope...just some constructive criticism.
