There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

a guy in austria is actually launching a professional p2p transport system, though not based on bitcoin yet. http://www.checkrobin.com/Hannes Jagerhofer is behind this idea, he also launched the very successful checkfelix.com (flight search engine) let him know this is is a good idea and he should implement bitcoin support

I would still really love to see this idea become a reality, and just thought that one of the biggest obstacles to making that happen is establishing a network (same problem as establishing a mesh network). Easiest way to get over that problem is to piggy-back on an already established network. And then I remembered that we already have an established P2P physical network: LocalBitcoins.com. Opinions on whether we should start bugging the localbitcoins guys, and get some coding done to incorporate exchange of stuff along with exchange of bitcoins?

I'd guess that would stand a good chance of getting off the ground, imho establishing a platform for the network to run would come first though. Been keeping an eye on whats happening with Open Transactions as that might make a good platform and it looks like its developing fast. Once something anyone can just download and use is running there then similar bounties towards integrating a courier network into the phone app might work. Maybe, but, again, that's just piggy-backing on the OT network, which may be a bit more difficult, since a lot of OT will be for anonymous type stuff.The reason I thought of LocalBitcoin is because they already have a network within physical space. Should I go ahead and contact the guy running it to see what he thinks?

Got a reply saying they love the idea, but that they don't have the resources or manpower. I replied asking for clarification on whether they mean they lack resources to get it coded and set up, or to deal with the resulting po-po fallout afterwards.

Final reply Hi!
Right now our hands are so full of urgent matters that any distraction from the main service would be disastrous. However, we have plans to open certain aspects of our platform, so utilizing some parts of our platform (reputation system and location databases etc.) in other kind of services are not completely out of question in longer term. Basically we would provide API or something like that, and community could use these to build their own services.
Br, Nikolaus

If it doesn't involve parkour over building rooftops, they're not doing it right

Maybe this discussion should be moved to "Project Development"

There is a system like this that I've thought.
It's centralized. But people can order one thing to be sent to another anonymously. All they need is an anonymous phone number

Non-robotic courier system. You mean traditional delivery?
