The Pet Rock was a throwaway idea, for the thought. What we really need is a Digital Good, capable of being sold or transferred. It can be paired with bitcoin, and then all transactions are for that product, not the bitcoins. Could be a e-card or something like that. As long as Bitcoin itself is not the item being sold for dollars, then it can be used as a part of the transaction.

An e-card would be difficult to justify for such a large transaction though. Maybe if someone developed a simple piece of software around bitcoin, made it open source, allowed people to alter and update it, or it could be a simple program, with updates. It could potentially justify the sales transactions. In essence the software would be free, but people could charge any amount they want for it, and that is the product being traded between people, not the currency of bitcoin.

I have a feeling there are a lot of very artistic individuals in the bitcoin community. Perhaps these Picassos could create some artwork in Microsoft Paint. The more fiat that someone is willing to pay for one of these digital masterpieces, then the more free bitcoins they could receive as a bonus. Grin

This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about!

Great Idea!

This will work great! (Or at least it should)

Now, you are not selling any bitcoins, PERIOD!!!

No FINCEN regs can apply anymore!!!
