Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

a gas station accepting bitcoins would be really awesome for car drivers.. !!! But filling up would take over 20 minutes for 6 confirmations. |

Either do something like a reloadable debit card, where you can fill it up with BTC, and empty it in brick & mortar stores (like gas stations) and as long as the debit card issuer is trusted, 0 confs are needed, or, just accept the 0 conf transactions (places like primedice do it anyway) for smaller transactions because reversing it isn't worth the time. |

Gift cards for amazon.de.
Gyft has Amazon.com, but I don't know if you can sign up from Germany. |

BTC is anti middle man (and thus reduces corruption). IMO, people should start looking into a way to decentralize those parts that fucks up most of society and eliminate the human middleman from these industries: insurance, healthcare, court system, banking, government, energy industry and the weapons industry. Solve those issues and it seriously jeopardizes the power of the corrupt rich families.

Household consumables. Food and drink, bathroom and kitchen items. Light bulbs. Furniture. Clothing has some representation, but nothing like enough variety.
Ammunition, Firearms, Parts, accessories, etc. Can't think of many fun stores that will take my BTC.
Have some of these at http://fs.thebutterzone.com but it's a liquidation, not a business. |
Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Cavirtex is about to come out with a BTC debit card. Probably could solve all of the day to day payment issues with BTC. |

I've always felt that BTC should be primarily an internet currency. Buying stuff at Amazon and Ebay, paying for website hosting, games etc. Anything you need online should be a click away with BTC, no risk of identity theft and no interest.
You can buy domains with NMC but it would be nice to pay for their hosting by BTC or NMC. Not too sure how NMC .bit works.
The best business would be a paypal type that can effectively connect BTC with fiat making it easy to buy BTC with credit cards. It is sad that a internet currency cannot be bought directly on the internet the same way you buy movies and items.

Itunes and App Store should accept btc apple accepting BTC would make an example for the world to accept BTc as they are one of the biggest companies around Apple will be the last one will accept BTC because they charge 30% commission in their payment system. |

Light bulbs are available at CVS, Kmart, and Lowe's via Gyft. That is not quite as convenient as paying at the POS. Yet that is encouraging. So maybe it is only the concentrated distribution of Bitcoin that is holding us back. |
