I know the guy ( I mean, I have his skype contact ).
Where is the spam?

Not in this forum but here: http://localbitcoins.com

I repeat, where is the spam?

[HostFat]

I see the problem.
denaro-vero.com shows the value of the gold/paper that he is selling ( he said that he doesn't own this domain ), but localbitcoins doesn't have the "gold" in the currency list.

Well, to be honest I don't see that much huge demand for local gold/silver trading, but we will try to add that feature at some point  

Edit: and we have some plans for removing spammy ads from the site. However that isn't high priority right now, for now we need more traders/ads.

Less spammers = more traders

[Serenata]

Looks good now, no errors

EDIT: Any plans to support Unicode character set? I tried to add an advertisement with comments in Greek but the characters were converted to ??

Hmm, I'll try to fix this problem ASAP.

Edit: should be fixed

Sweet! Thank you

Some locations don't resolve right - eg. there was someone from Venezuela, and it resolved to netherlands. Now venezuelan postal codes should resolve right. If you spot any this kind of errors, please msg me!

A new feature added: a simple utility for making the equation for you. This hopefully makes pricing somewhat easier.

Awesome. Really made with usability and convenience in mind. This one feels like it can become widely used.

It would be nice if it could calculate the current price when you click "generate equation" as a preview before you submit the advertisement

I second this, otherwise great job on the design!

Added a twitter account, which tweets the ads over the world: https://twitter.com/#!/LocalBitcoins

I tried to add a listing today but got an error

Problem parsing equation

USD24h*USD_in_AUD*1.10

Equation made using the tool
- weighted
- USD
- 24hr
- 10% comission

I live in Australia and want to use a conversion from the bitcoin USD rate and then to AUD.

It needs to be USD_24h (spot the underscore...)

Edit: should be fixed now, sorry for that bug.

Edit2: shit, still not working...

Edit: ok, now it is working

Just wanted to let you know that the new map feature uses almost random places for some entries.
Czech guy saying he is in Prague, shows up in Bangkok. Slovenian guy is in Portugal and so on.

Allow people to upload photos of themselves, and pay you to verify their account (take their ID and stuff).

Also the search function could be better (have a giant box which accepts post codes, city names or similar) with the ability to filter by currency. It would be good to show the city for sellers and buyers because I have no idea about distances on the scale of 100s of Km, but I do know all the local nearby cities/towns. In the UK at least, distance isn't always proportional to ease of access / cost of travel- Ramsgate -> Manchester is cheaper than Ramsgate -> Milton Keynes despite being massively closer.

Thanks for the feedback, we will look in to this.

Edit: should be fixed now. We won't be adding any new features for a while, since we are developing bigger updates next. Still we will fox all critical bugs, if you spot any, report them to us. We really appreciate it!

Thanks for the feedback. Currently the site will be probably at hold for some time, while we will plan for a bigger update. The process will be streamlined, and also some kind of reputation/profiles system will be added, as currently the site is just a basic message board.

Now we have cash exchangers in 30 different countries! Thanks for everyone who put their ad online!

Could you consider adding a redirect or somehow otherwise accommodating www. ?
