Actually, there is much more exchange going on via the mailing list here: http://wiki.eudemocracia.org/en/bitcoin

I've been subscribed to that list for three months now and the amount of buy/sell requests has exploded. I would guess at least a couple dozen new topics are started every day.

Wait, so you're in?

For those unfamiliar, The Promo Bay is a program where The Pirate Bay promotes independent artists by putting their logos and links to their websites on The Pirate Bay home page for the weekend. The artists' works are distributed as torrents for free but they typically direct users to their website where they provide donation options.

TorrentFreak has an article up today about how this weekend's Promo Bay Artists (game developers) found themselves in this fortunate position: http://torrentfreak.com/pirated-indie-game-devs-get-full-pirate-bay-support-to-crack-steam-120215/

These game devs just learned about bitcoin today and added a donation address to their website:

It would be great if The Promo Bay also promoted artist compensation via Bitcoin. If you agree, you can send The Pirate Bay the suggestion here: http://thepiratebay.se/contact

They certainly won't ever accept it if their users never request it.

Hi piuk,

I noticed that the receive api callback from blockchain.info is no longer immediate. I was accepting zero-confirmation payments successfully up until maybe a couple of weeks ago. Here is an example of a generated address for which I'm still awaiting blockchain.info's response: https://blockchain.info/address/14TdZ3nRTcfLUkRUb8DUTXUZf8Pe6pPwEG

Did you make a change to the callback so it no longer responds immediately?

Thanks.

EDIT: FYI, I am using the anonymous payments option.
EDIT2: I finally got a response after 4 confirmations. How can I avoid this delay and get an immediate, zero-confirmation response?

Here's the email address where you can suggest bitcoin payments: donate@wikimedia.org

Thanks, Kupsi!

¡Gracias, Narydu!

Thanks. I'm already listed there but after a week still no hits, so I thought I'd mention it here.

Hola,

Yo quisiera vender aproximadamente 10 a 50 bitcoins ahora para el precio de mtgox al precio azul (~7.9 ARS/USD), sin honorarios. Por favor envíame una mensaje si estás interesado.

¡Muchas gracias!

I'm looking to acquire some pesos so if anyone is interested in buying BTC in Buenos Aires without fees, please pm me.

Announcement: As a result of the rise in BTC value, the per GB rate has been reduced to BTC0.03.


Thanks. The bugs in that other service motivated me to create a functional version of what I find to be an incredibly useful service.

Haha, I hope it's accurate!

Does anyone know how Tony arrived at this estimate?

That's my intention.

Coinbase.com is my favorite method for buying and selling but it might only be available to US citizens. You have to link your bank account with your Coinbase account but that is painless as they don't require any of the identity validation like Gox and Dwolla. You do have to wait the 3-5 business days or so to receive your coins, but the exchange rate is locked in as soon as you initiate the purchase. And the fee is only 1%, so if you're a casual buyer, it's an excellent (perhaps the best?) option.

I don't mean to derail the thread but I wanted to say thanks for the continued efforts on DIANNA. I'm happy to hear the project isn't dead.

Fail:
