Could someone give me a brief overview (or link me to one if there is a sticky that answers my question) of how to sell bitcoins for money? I know you need a Mt. Gox account, and I think a dwolla account? How can I ensure I don't get scammed?
"Real" money is gold and silver coins. Some silver has been offered here: https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12697.0
Or maples here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=10795.0
These guys apparently take BTC too: http://thegoldtrader.com/
I want to post this thread about Article 1 of the United States constitution regarding section 8
"To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;
To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States;"
This is a political topic unfit for the general newbie forum, please whitelist me.
I want to believe this newbie-forum only rule has been instated for good reason, I have my doubts, but perhaps I am a statistical outlier with my desire to post meaningful threads about the compliance of bitcoins in important jurisdictions

The US Constitution, a writ of mandates and prohibitions on the behaviors of the office holders, is above all fiction. Marc Stevens covers it very well in his Adventures in Legal Land and his No State Project.
Joke: A little boy, an attorney and a judge were walking one day and they saw a five dollar bill on the sidewalk; who got it? The little boy of course because attorneys and judges are fictions of law. But then so too are five dollar bills . . .
One of the odd things about occidental folks generally is they tend to spend a bunch of time contemplating the future and thus not living in the present. One description of oriental (Chinese I think) thought is how a river looks when only looking down stream or how the voyage of a ship appears when merely looking at the wake from the stern.
Fact is BTCs are a currency now or, at least fit the definition of "currency" better than FRN (so called "USD").
I have lured a friend who sells batteries/electronics online to get into BTCs and he will soon be offering his wares in exchange for BTC.
The future is already here.

How did you know the future is here unless you contemplated the relationship of the future to the present? Using a similar river analogy, you don't always have to 'be' the river, looking at the bank of the river as you flow past it. You can take the perspective of the river bank which simultaneously holds the potential for past, present, and future river configurations. When we learn past present and future are connected, 'living in the present' isn't as concrete of an idea as you may think.
I only mentioned one perspective of Oriental consciousness. For myself there is no future or past just the eternal now. For now BTCs are here n'est pas?
"Police" comes from the word "policy". The so called police are merely municipal policy enforcement officers. So the question is EXACTLY what municipal policies apply to private people? The answer for the most part is none. Because in America the rules, regulations, codes etc ONLY apply to the office holders - they being the "public" (a "public school is a government school, a CPA is certified governemnt accountant etc).
Unfortunately most of the sheeple beLIEve all that nonsense applies to them.

This is totally cool.
For myself I have a 4.5kw PV system up and running (2 years ago - I wish I had started BTCs back then!) to mitigate my electric cost.
Here is yet another way BTC is outside the suicide banker box (apparently in Norway he cannot sell his power BUT of course he can sell his shares to the company Ugh!)
Again the future of BTC is now!

ummm.... interesting vid Title12USC§411
Thanks.
Try this one: "Die, banker DIE!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGFZ1Jj3ui8
The suicide bankers and financial terrorists are basically doing the same thing...
Not specifically to the LEOs coming through American doors - shooting old men, ex-Marines, and seven year old girls.
"LEOs"?
I guess the first time the laymen was shown email they said politely "ineresting... but can't I just lick a stamp and do the same thing?"
The interesting part is that we still "lick a stamp" ... and you know why? Because the traditional mail can be sent in places where there is no access to Internet.And i have bad news for you ... BitCoin is a "play money" in this very moment of its history ...
Ciao.
In addition to licking you can also send FRN (so called "USD") in the envelope along with other nefarious if not pernicious stuff like anthrax.
A nice litmus test of who you do business with may eventually be, "Do you accept BTC?" - hey NP, I know somebody that does . . .

Well the reason I am concerned is I travel with my laptop and I am worried about the TSA goons groping more than just my private parts!
Hah, well I trust Mt Gox way more than the TSA. Actually truth be told, after Mt Gox's reaction the their security breach and their response to the public, I really do think they're pretty trustworthy these days. Hell, Sony was never that forthcoming, really very few companies seem to be willing to both take security seriously and tell the truth to the customers.Well the reason I am concerned is I travel with my laptop and I am worried about the TSA goons groping more than just my private parts!
Well let's hope MtGox is telling the truth. As I said in another post MtGox will probably have 100x more problems with the Japanese goons who enforce FRN (so called "USD") currency law (the so called "Legal Tender Law" http://www.truthsetsusfree.com/HJR192.htm ) than with the actual hack.
I'll be interested to see if the USD-BTC rates change when the difficulty goes up. I would think in theory there should be some adjustment as people re-interpret the value of BTC.
I am thinking the "value" of BTC ultimately will be in their inherent ease to transfer to others to accomplish transactions.
Because for example I recently needed to convert FRN (so called "USD") from a credit union account to IDR and then transmit same to a foreign bank account. The credit union - which had a so called "wire transfer" office - acted like complete idiots in terms of how may times I needed to contact them to get the job done in addition to having to pay $35 FRN to these currency hackers to transmit about $400 FRN. And I had to do a lot of splainin like who/what/where/why in addition to how much, all of which was none of these currency hackers business!
Fook FRNs, the suicide banksters and the jackals they rode in on.
So, how secure are the "wallets" that TradeHill, Mt.Gox and other trading sites use?
If their servers crash - like if my laptop HD crashes where my wallet is - does that mean bye2 to all them BTCs?
My understanding is yes, you'd lose everything if your account is compromised, and yes if the site when down you'd lose access to the wallet for that time.If their servers crash - like if my laptop HD crashes where my wallet is - does that mean bye2 to all them BTCs?
As far as I can tell, I don't think they give you a "wallet" exactly, instead they give you access to your funds in their system. Effectively they act as your bank, but without interest (unless you count market fluctuation). But if you trust them you could certainly keep your funds there, then transfer bitcoins to your everyday account for spending cash. Kind of like visiting an ATM.

Hey guys, I've got a question for you. How big is the block chain going to get? I ask because I want to make sure the usb drive I use is actually large enough to encrypt an entire client indefinitely. So I know that as blocks get very old they're no longer saved, but aren't the new blocks larger than the old blocks? Meaning, won't the size of a full install always increase?
Or then there's the other option, of just using a 8 or 16 GB drive and using it as a full OS+bitcoin client.

So I take it you could have two or more of these usb drives (even full OS+bitcoin client as you say) and if one of them craps you dont lose your BTCs?
The suicide bankers and financial terrorists are basically doing the same thing with CDOs and derivatives to home mortgages and whole countries like Greece. See Keiser Report(s) for details: http://rt.com/programs/keiser-report/
