a law where books are more expensive if bought online
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> I wonder if community manager is ever

a whole language out of applying romanian grammar to english lexemes
pankkake: I wonder if community manager is ever
a real job. I've only seen interns do it

a Bitcoin Foundation Gold Member
Vallance: The biggest thing of it all is that they are
a Gold Member at the BitcoinFoundation
Vallance: I seen
a few accusations fly around at Bitcointalk.org, I've been following their business seeing how it goes since they came out
Vallance: Credit Unions are the ideal people to bank with but unfortunately my preferred one around here isn't
a part of the CU Swirl Network
Naphex: or how many exchanges/bussiness will want
a 3rd party holding highly private data
Vallance: I had someone contact me
a couple months ago about KYC/AML Identification services. They may have been
a new company, can't clearly remember. They are supposed to streamline and handle all your compliance requirements for you when interacting with customers on exchanging funds.
BingoBoingo: punkman: Vending machines are still
a think. Probably the best way for
a vending machine operator to get bitcoin from vending machines is... Exchanging the cash directly.
BingoBoingo: punkman: You can still fit
a lot of pennies in
a shoebox
Vallance: I'm sure that will have
a permanent effect

Vallance: In the works of trying to negotiate
a deal with Western Union that would allow people to send us payments through their service as
a "Bill Payment" so they would only have to pay $5
Vallance: We've had quite
a few people travel about 100 miles to exchange
BingoBoingo: At
a minimum probably grab licenses for Illinois, Ohio, and Tennessee
BingoBoingo: Also, since money transmitting across the whole US is
a pain, just license in kentucky,
a few neighboring states, and the rest of the US can be serviced by other people.
BingoBoingo: If you were to offer
a network of atms across
a region, maintain an office for inperson service, and have some limited interaction with the web you could carve
a nice niche.
BingoBoingo: If you go exclusively mass market Paypal eats your lunch and people who hate paypal settle for BitStamp's two cans,
a string, and
a rectal probe
Vallance: I've lurked the irc logs and the trilema blog quite
a bit.

a shoebox of cash, and
a printout of an address to pay to with
a GPG signature.

a piece of paper
Vallance: You would be surprised at the old, nearly looking homeless people who have sold us
a handful of Bitcoin though
Vallance: We haven't had anyone drive in with
a shoebox yet
BingoBoingo: So... What's the procedure if I just drive in with
a shoebox full of cash?
pankkake: well mastercoin is made by people who don't know what they are doing, counterparty is in
a slighly better position
bloctoc: Vallance are you providing KYC/AML as part of your network? I'm asking because I have
a Lamassu
Vallance: Besides Counterparty I only have experience with Mastercoin, which I'm not
a big fan of
Vallance: I've had
a lot of chats with the founders of Counterparty and Counterwallet, I feel pretty good about their platform.
bloctoc: yeah that's
a nice thing you got going
Vallance:
A decent day is around $10,000 worth of volume
a day. I know it's not huge, but we don't want to promote more than we can handle.

a real business
BingoBoingo: Vallance:
A physical location in the US and an investment solicitation... seems dangerous...

a phone that close to their pumps. needs to be bluetooth.

a reasonable drive
Vallance: Yeah, it's almost like trends and technology are
a couple years behind for most people here.
Vallance: They've been around for
a little bit, the main thing about them is that they accept credit cards and debit cards.
Vallance: We were hoping to target our suburban town and cause
a good stir but our physical business traffic isn't near what we hoped.
Vallance: Myself and
a couple others run
a small Bitcoin exchange known as BitSpot. It's not an exchange as in the sense of BitStamp or BTC-E, it's more in the sense of CoinMama or the former BitInstant
