I wanted to see if there was any demand here for work that would be paid using bitcoin.
There's an opportunity for someone to build a standalone app to redeem private keys.
All the app (or mobile-enabled web app) needs to do is simply let you scan a QR code with a private key, and then scan the QR code of the destination Bitcoin address (or allow entry of the bitcoin address / paste from clipboard).
From there the app needs only to send an API call to Blockchain.info:
(Well, technically two calls, one to get the unspent balance and the second call for the spend transaction.)
This could be a pretty easy app (or mobile-enabled website) to build. To see how a mobile-enabled website can do a field for scanning via a QR code, see EasyWallet.org' site:
