No and it never will. A change like that would require literally 100% support of all users as it would be a hard incompatible fork.
No need to use tiny decimals though. 5 mBTC vs 0.005 BTC. 5 uBTC vs 0.000005 BTC. It is possible people will call these by slang or informal names. i.e. millies of mikes.
This. When coffee costs 0.00000012 btc, then BitBrew will just say, "That'll be 12 satoshis for the latte" Problem solved. FTFY  |

I saw no mention of Bitcoin anywhere on their site.

Sorry for the necro but this thread has some really interesting ideas that I may eventually incorporate into Cryptobill.com. Also: Cryptobill.com is live! |

It's an interesting concept - but presumably this is just a brain wallet using the serial number as the memorable phrase?
Wouldn't it be safer just downloading brain wallet from github and generating the private key off line?
I think edd's intent is to make it as easy as possible for the receiver to retrieve the bitcoins. That's partially the case. I haven't used brainwallet but, if I understand it correctly, since bills are printed with sequential serial numbers, someone could generate a large number of keys without having the bills in their possession and simply wait until they are funded by a legitimate user. For now, I urge everyone to limit their use of this site to minimal amounts of BTC. I believe it's to edd's best interest to not weigh in on any discussions related to the following due to the site's condoning clause: http://www.stamp-connection.com/dept/wheres_george_stamps.html But it should be okay for members here to discuss said device. If such a product is developed, it'll probably be best to present it in a new thread. The implementation should be apparent. Excellent site, edd. Good show! It's probably safe to say that I anticipate some individuals marking messages on their paper USD to encourage others to find out more about Bitcoin and Cryptobill.com. I created Cryptobill.com so that bitcoiners could use paper bills without writing on them, but it does make it much more unlikely that someone will receive one and unlock the BTC assigned to it. I won't encourage anyone to deface "legal tender" and I won't be selling stamps but I also have no inclination to discourage anyone from doing so. If the Secret Service decides to make life difficult for anyone writing on physical fiat, I'll reconsider how Cryptobill.com should be run but, until then, I think everyone should treat it as a modified bitcoin version of Where's George? |

Will you make it working also with euro?
That is definitely high on my list of priorities. |

Inspired by discussion here, here, and here, I'm excited to announce the launch of Cryptobill.com. Enter the some identifying information from your paper fiat and tie it to a bitcoin address specifically generated for your bill. Send as much BTC as you want to the address and pass it along to someone you want to introduce to Bitcoin. Using the same numbers specific to that bill, the recipient can unlock the private key necessary to import the funds. Alternately, release your bill into circulation with a few bitcents attached and wait for a fellow bitcoiner to find it and "unlock" the BTC by entering the information at Cryptobill. (Defacing US currency is frowned upon by the Secret Service so we can't condone writing a message like "This bill is worth bitcoins at Cryptobill.com" on the note.) To kick off the Cryptobill site launch, for a limited time, one bitcoin address per day will be chosen at random and credited with an additional 0.10 BTC. We've also already released two bills into circulation that will unlock 0.50 BTC and plan on many more! |

MagicalTux is in the business of selling domain names?
yeah, that's how he got started before he got all swamped up with mtgox. Think the combanny is called tibanne, and it sells web hosting afaik Been using it for domain registration about a year now with no issues. Never sent any BTC directly to MagicalTux, however. |

Technically, the protocol is still in beta.

Just sent my five BTC: 668061846134ee11d329038e12d2cb4735e8d73b6dfbc02ae271fa588f170db5

The 0.80 BTC donation was the last transaction I'd received. So when I tried to make a transaction for a larger amount, 0.80 BTC was debited from the donation address to carry it out. I didn't quite understand that this was the way it worked until I saw it. So I sent back two transactions to the donation address to "reattach" the 0.80 BTC (and some of my own) to the donation address -- just so that it could be seen I wasn't taking it away and had coin of my own to contribute..
--ATC--
I see. I just assumed you would keep donations isolated from personal funds and had created a separate wallet for this endeavor. |

Is the bitcoin intended to cover shipping costs, as well?

Block-chain info can be found here: http://blockchain.info/address/1Cr3MTEQxruNimtdCBbUBvDtZFmcW7gHSsNote that I tried to make a testing transaction of 1.00 BTC earlier today and then noticed the network deducted the 0.80 BTC donation received from that donation address. So I had first 1.00 BTC and then 0.741 BTC credited back to the donation address I created to put it back and include a donation of my own to it (totaling 0.941 BTC). Prepared to donate more when help is found... Regards, --ATC-- Could you be a bit more specific about what happened here exactly. I don't understand how "the network" would deduct bitcoins from your address. |

And nope no stolen credit cards Everything here is a completely legit service. I have bought at least 30 items on Amazon with the current linked card so if it was stolen I would presume somebody would have reported it by now.
Maybe it's just the wording, but that scares me. Specifically: I would presume somebody would have reported it by now.
I agree, it is a very odd thing to say about your own credit card. OP, don't joke around about things like this. Provide statements about your services and offer escrow on the first few purchases or present yourself as professionally as possible and let your reputation as an honest business grow organically. |

As a service you dont have to get that seal - but you will get less trust without one.
Not necessarily. Whenever I see a business proudly displaying a BBB logo, I wonder what they're trying to hide behind it. |

edd -
Honestly this price is way to high for anybody on here to ever consider. Amazon g/c's go for mt. gox -10% on the regular.
Only way this will start getting attention is at mt. gox -20%
Thanks, RR. I don't normally buy or sell gift cards and hadn't done any research, I just figured this would be an adequate discount. New price for Macy's online gift card valued at $91.98: 5.75 BTC |

So I was thinking the other day everyone wants to get their hand on bitcoins and presumably so they can buy goods in Bitcoins correct? I'll just go with this assumption/hypothetical. The idea I'm brewing up is to allow anyone to buy bitcoins w/ credit cards and be "credited" with bitcoins as just a "number" behind the scenes to go spend at merchants that accept Bitcoins. Of course, the merchants have to be on board to accept this sort of system but on behalf of the "credited w/bitcoins account" we purchase these items in Bitcoins on their behalf. I don't know if this all make sense but go ahead and give it your best stab!  So consumers would buy "CreditCoins" from you at the same value of bitcoins, exchange these alt-coins with bitcoin merchants for goods, and the merchants exchange them back with you for bitcoins? I don't see what problem this might solve. As a matter of fact, it adds a weak link. You still take a chargeback risk and merchants take a chance that you might not honor your end of the agreement. |

So if you are willing to invest
You posted in the wrong board. This "investment opportunity" goes in Long Term Offers: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=88.0As the author of the thread, you can move it yourself. The link is in the bottom left corner. I can't seem to be able to locate "investment opportunity" when I try to change the topic, would it go under "Economy - Services" or "Economy - Lending" or something? Re-read Stephen's post. |
