You know, if the pizza companies have a pizza-ordering API I could totally build this.

Customer sends MEC to a unique address.
Await confirmations.
Sell MEC instantly (since pizza guys don't accept MEC yet).
Send automated API hit to order pizza (use CC or pre-arranged payment method).
Display order confirmation number to customer (let them call pizza place directly if there are non-payment-related issues).
Hot steamy fresh pizza arrives.

I don't like the "Sell MEC instantly" part, but since pizza guys are USD I suppose there is no choice in the matter for the purposes of this sort of business 

Totally do-able.

Well since the last available download of new wallet set off my Antivirus (AVAST) and the website that scans it (links posted below) said it was cleared.. i obviously have a problem downloading it when my AV says no and some guy on chat says yes..

Today I went to check.. and I try to download the new wallet and its not available.. page cannot be displayed when trying to download it.  I am sorry to say all this is too suspicious for me.. will try again in a few days till all lights go green.. anyone else might want to be careful as something strange with the download is going on.. again .. "trust no one"...

this is what that guy posted but my antivirus (even thought its in the scanned green list) still says its VIRUS. All these below say clean yet mine said no.. and not available now..you all might want to be a bit more careful.. and its not minerd.exe (miner flagged) but its a WALLET.. don't compare apples and oranges.. they are not the same.  I need a lot of proof to make an exception to a "false positive" and someone saying its good in a reply doesn't cut it.. Below is what that guy said was good .. but yet its no longer available..i dunno .. and to say again .. this is the FIRST wallet i have that has set off my antivirus when trying to download and now its not available.. those that gave it an exception may want to check themselves.  I believe my antivirus is still blocking the download.. that's why its unavailable to me.

I didn't claim anything, I gave you all the information you needed to make the decision yourself.  You can't scan the file since you are afraid to download it because of an erroneous suspicion from your antivirus.  But I did download it and used Virustotal to scan it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirusTotal).  Not only did all the major antiviruses not find anything malicious but your very own Avast found it to be safe as well.  Now stop this nonsense or we will have to assume you are a troll trying to tarnish MEC's image.

Someone just dumped some 70k MEC. 
Whoever bought it, enjoy all that MEC!

That's a few pizzas for sure.  Someone will most likely be looking back at that one as one of the worst decisions they made. 
I mean yeah, if you're desperate to pay the rent or something I understand completely. But you'd have to be a real candy-ass not to roll the dice on this one. 1250 blocks from now, or just over a day or so, could be one of the biggest days in Crypto-coin history.

At this point, I'm thinking that's the case. I can't imagine anybody mining digital currency that doesn't understand the basic shortcomings of crappy, low-end consumer anti-virus software. Avast throws warnings every time it doesn't recognize an executable file -- it's pointless for anybody that knows what they're doing.

Pizza is just another universal currency.  From the Megacoin site: "instead of someone saying a pizza will cost 5 Mecs or Megs, they might say 5 Micros or 5 Minis." I am seriously looking forward to the day when the MEC to pizza index hits 5 Micros.

Difficulty is too high, I think it may take more than a day to reach the reward half.

The more the merrier though, right? I've typed up a short draft myself.
My bullet points:
1. Based on latest bitcoin (8.2) but is scrypt instead of SHA-256
2. Has some community support (moved up into the candidate category)
3. Competent dev. Maybe implementing zerocoin.
4. Really nice user friendly client, and professional website.

Anything else?

Listen this is really about adoption of a coin.  Now all you IT and self serving people can stop now.  Here is the real scenario.. the common, not IT people you want to adopt your coin will NOT because when they go to download it .. it will stop them as flagged by antivirus (many have avast).  Now most people do not have virus and IT experience therefore will not download your coin.  You need adoption for a coin to be successful.. so i bring up a problem with the coin.. i never once said coin was bad I said the wallet is flagged by antivirus.  well most common people without IT experience will not get your coin.. so you all say things like "more coins for me then" .. another wrong approach.. most of you have been into coins etc and understand false positives in antivirus.. but the majority of regular users do not.. are you saying that MEC is only good if you know how to bypass your antivirus.. cmon get your heads out of your ass.. this is a developer release issue and if you want your coin to be successful it needs to not be flagged, period.  Don't bother commenting again to me .. i wont read this any further.. you are most self serving and forget the big picture.. you want to  make money therefore you need to be popular.. and being AV flagged does not make this so.. so get behind your coin and fix the right issues instead of calling me a troll or saying I have shit antivirus.. deal with the real issues.. and it sure ain't me, its the improper release of a coin that has  been flagged as suspicious virus or malware.  How is this going to be popular to the masses?? It needs to be simple to use, easy to get, and safe and reliable.  End of discussion.

I imagine a bunch of douchery comments now to try and make fun of me.. or someone will say - more mec for me .. or someone will say maybe you shouldnt be into crypto are all seeing it from the wrong perspective.  So go ahead make dumb comments.. maybe put up some gif's of stupid movie quotes.. but the fact remains it was flagged by antivirus and its not good for anyone if it is.

While I most certainly agree with you that it needs attention, I've had other very popular pieces of software flagged as a virus before (most recently the Pokerstars client). It happens, but it's almost always temporary.

most of you have been into coins etc and understand false positives in antivirusEvery person that has antivirus SHOULD understand how antivirus works... but the majority of regular users   I do not.. are you saying that MEC is only good if you know how to bypass your antivirus.. cmon get your heads out of your ass..

Sorry but your antivirus, which has been explained, does not recognize the exe. As a result it isn't saying it's bad, just a , wait a minute, are you sure? Happens with everything from a python beta, PYHTON BETA release. Do you understand that? PYTHON BETA

this is a developer release issue and if you want your coin to be successful it needs to not be flagged, period. [\quote]
your mental kung fu is weak

Don't bother commenting again to me .. i wont read this any further.. you are I am most self serving and forget the big picture.. you I want to  make money therefore you I need to be popular..

do not know what to say to crazy

and being AV flagged does not make this so.. so get behind your coin and fix the right issues instead of calling me a troll or saying I have shit antivirus.. deal with the real issues.. and it sure ain't me, its the improper release of a coin that has  been flagged as suspicious virus or malware.  How is this going to be popular to the masses??
