Killing two birds with one stone is laudable; but a fair, decentralized currency with a bird worth a stone by itself.

The deal is much better/easier for you if you can do it all up front; maybe 100% of the first month? edit: oh, until they quit. I think if your sales are currently low and this person can deliver, something like 25% would be appropriate.

With this type of support for abolishing software patents from the people who write the software ; it seems we must be able to organize some sort of strike to just put an end to it immediately.

I was really just commenting on the technical side. From a technical standpoint bitcoins are far more convenient than checks; which have been successful by any measure. There is no reason there couldn't be a law that says "it is illegal to

People accept checks.. edit: When someone sends you a transaction, it registers more or less immediately. It is only the confirmations in the blockchain (that happen every ~10 minutes) that give you confidence that the coins were not dou

WHAT? I hope you are one of few that thinks it's morally wrong to do something that is illegal. Legality should reflect a subset of morality, not the other way around. The idea that you are morally obligated to follow unjust laws is absurd.

Let me answer your question with a question: Is it completely unlikely that having a large stash of bitcoin is going to be useful to them? I think the answer is a resounding 'no.' If it put myself in their shoes, with unlimited resources,
