Hi,

A new bitcoin venture - http://binarysecurity.webs.com/

Bottom line: I will do a basic web application penetration test on your site in return for bitcoins.

Loneaspen.com

Online Multiplayer Pool Games and Tournaments

I will accept bitcoins for donations (stars) and custom virtual goods in game.  Currently virtual goods are only custom cues sticks (to be used in game), but I will be adding more.

Contact Sales@ that address to arrange a transaction.

   I'd like to do that, but I think there are some serious legal issues doing that since I'm 100% USA based.  My own private currency, AspenBux, is just given away in free tournaments, or you can do those paid survey things to get them.  But you can redeem AspenBux for USD also, so it's a fine line I walk.

   That's why I stated that you can use it for the virutal goods, and didn't mention playing for it.  Now after I move the op out of USA, it's a different story.  I might pay out in BitCoins later if I get some in the account, but that would require sales, because I'm not going to mine them.  20 hrs of mining, 0.00 coins, and my Host company for the VPS was about to shoot me.  They even killed the container and left it off for an hour as a hint.  I was nice about it too, just set it to 1/4 Cpus.  I normally run 5% cpu at prime time high stakes tournaments, so it was a big change and they noticed...

   Illegal = Consideration/Chance/Reward of Value.   Legal is replace one of those with something else.  I keep consideration to Free (none), and Chance to Skill.

   


   
   



   

Can you add the Bitcoin payment instructions on the page so we could add it to bitcoin.org/trade?

Only sites that offer services or products are added to the list. Of course you could make a list of donation-accepting sites on the wiki.

Hi all, I've been doing web development & hosting and VOIP services for over 10 years (and yea, our site design is still 10 years old - we're too busy with real clients to fix our own site!)... but I've now decided to start accepting bitcoins as payment for our VOIP services.  I'd consider it for web hosting too if there's a want for it.

80 BTC/month + 0.50 BTC/minute anywhere in Canada/Continental USA - includes a Canadian DID (phone number) in your choice of major cities.

Details are here:

Cheers!

Sounds very nice zooko. Keep us updated.

Bitcoins when viewed as a commodity may be utilised for barter exchange at any of the following sites (opening up avenues to a whole new electronic barter economy with Bitcoin as intermediary for real tangible goods or services - thus Bitcoin as a commodity exchange medium could be fulfilling a gap in the inefficiency of traditional bartering - where you have to find someone that wants what you have and have what you want - Now Bitcoin as an exchanged commodity could be the intermediary in barter transactions!!)

Here is some of the top Barter sites where Bitcoin as an electronic coin commodity may be exchanged for just about anything, and just about anything may be exchanged for Bitcoins!! :

www.community-exchange.org
www.barterthing.com
www.favorpals.com
www.swaptreasures.com
www.ubarterexchange.com

So maybe we should launch Bitcoin into the Barter economy as well?

Also note that numerous jurisdictions (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_tender) will be excluded from the benefits of Bitcoin should it be called a currency (and thus be a foreign currency as opposed to the national currency, and thus not legal tender currency for payment purposes).  If Bitcoin is officially viewed as a commodity - it may be bartered with, in these (and all other) jurisditions and thus will have universal use.  The fact of calling Bitcoin a currency and not a commodity, may have a hindrance on international use (some jurisdictions may forbid or restrict PAYMENT, but not BARTER, made other than by legal tender) when Bitcoin establishes itself in the mainstream market.  For an interesting parallel consider the Islamic gold Shariah coin (with intrinsic metal commodity value, see http://www.islamicmint.com/news_articles/articles/statement_castineria.html paragraph 7.) in comparison to Bitcoin (with its intrinsic mathematical solution's value).

More currency, barter, legal tender info (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency) describes how a Central Bank may have sole control over a nation's CURRENCY (as opposed to foreign currency that are sometimes specifically lawfully excluded as payment substitute for the national currency).  Central Banks generally does not have sole control over COMMODITIES.

Exchange control also has legal implications when dealing in foreign currency (currency other than the national currency) in some jurisdictions (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_exchange_controls).

When owning the keys to unlock a mathematical problem, it should constitute a store of value in the form of COMMODITY ownership of instant access to a mathematical sollution to a complicated problem.
