Me and my wife have been thinking of interesting ways to obtain btc recently, and she is currently offering homemade fudge for btc.
I am offering to use my Amazon Prime account (includes free 2 day shipping on most items, in the USA), to place orders for people who want to pay via BTC. If anyone is looking for an order placed, I can do that for you. Will provide screenshot of order, and also relay all tracking information to you as it is updated on Amazon.com.
If you have any questions, just ask.
Might want to look into Gyft, as they seem to be the primary way to do purchase from amazon using BTC.
Anyone considering using you should use a vetted Escrow agent until your reputation speaks for itself.
Good luck!
I would be happy to use an escrow at first, not an issue at all. Just trying to think of interesting ways to get some extra btc, while helping serve people at the same time. I think DannyHamilton would be a good escrow.
Great, you should be good to go then. Had you refused, the scammer alerts would start rising.
I would suggest joining the IRC channel #bitcoin and discussing further in there. The place is full of trolls but often a few nice tangential ideas get flung out of there.
There is also bitcoin-otc.com/ that will allow to setup a GPG key id, so nobody can impersonate you. You should learn to use encryption reasonably well.
You should keep NO COINS ON A WEB-WALLET.... Run bitcoin-qt on your own machine and encrypt your backups of your keys, in several places.
Enjoy!
All good advice. I am going to check out those places now. They are ok with me linking to a thread here instead of spamming it in the troll box there, or would that be against their ToS
