I can't believe I'm offering advice to someone who wants to build a bot. It's a very bad idea and you could end up losing a lot. But, make sure you take into transaction fees and delayed market data. Also be sure not to DOS their API or they may blacklist you.
If someone has a wallet with bitcoins in it, doesn't really matter if they got them through buying or mining. What happens if they just decide to give up on or forget about bitcoin? Technically the coins are still out there but if that wallet is never used then those coins can't be claimed by anyone. I guess the same issue also happens if you lose your wallet
That's a pretty hairy situation. Thankfully, Modern technology has enabled us to resolve it.
If I'm shipping anything via BTC, It's being shipped delivery confirmation (signature required, etc). I'd advise the same for all other sellers. To resolve the issue of the item not being what was ordered, Video conferencing allows both the seller and myself to see the item in question.
For large purchases or valuable items, I would advise bringing the mediator into the loop before finalizing the deal, just as a way to be sure everything goes well.
For special cases, I would also be willing to travel, in person, to settle the dispute, but that, obviously, will increase the cost of the service considerably.
The thing about mediation is that it acknowledges that every case is different. There is no universal law which will be able to be applied to every case. Since every case is different, every solution is different, But I won't be satisfied - or paid - until both people are satisfied.
I would also like to point out that anyone who would like to contract for my services beforehand, as a sort of insurance, can do so free of charge. Holding such a contract is a negligible expense on my part.

I've also learned from dealing with eBay to take time stamped photos of what I'm shipping right before packing and shipping. If I'm buying something, I take pics of the opening process. It recently saved me when I bought a used Cisco router from an Amazon seller and it turned out to be beat to hell and non-functioning. He tried to claim that what I got wasn't what he shipped. I had pics from the unopened box all the way thru the unboxing and pics of the serial and showing the damage when the box was opened. Saved me $500
Selling Tinfoil Hats for 1BTC!
Oooh I'll buy two. One for me and one for my wallet
Setup VirtualBox on your machine. Create a Linux VM and encrypt the filesystem, then of course you'll have a linux account that has a password, then in the Linux OS, create a encrypted password protected file to mount and hold your wallet.
One of my spare machines is an AOpen MP57 which has an integrated Intel GM45 (Intel GMA X4500MHD) video. The system is currently running Fedora 15 i386. Does anyone know if it's possible to use this to mine? And if so, which miner? I've tried a number of them and they all seem to have issues compiling.

Considering the warning signs it is pretty amazing so many people lost their money. The withdrawal limits on Mt. Cox were a glaring red flag. Legitimate organizations don't have "withdrawal limits". What if you went to your bank and they said, sorry you can only withdraw $1000 this week. When you see a withdrawal limit that is usually the precursor to coming back "next week" and finding a lock on the door.
Well that's not entirely true. If you want to withdraw a large sum of money from your bank account, depending on the size of the withdraw you may have to come back a different day.

You're not exactly giving anyone a compelling reason to join when your current jackpot is: 0.019 BTC!!! When I play the lottery, its because I am paying a small amount to win something big. 0.019 is not even 1 BTC!
because not one enters i cant just give them away it goes up when people join...because your site is shit, delete it.
It's the first version of his site, give him a break. Websites are like children, they grow over time.
PayPal might freeze trades with bitcoins. I think it's because they don't allow currency trades over paypal or something along those lines.
It's probably safer and easier to just make a dwolla account. That eliminates the trust issue that comes with private trades too.

I second this paypal in their ToS clearly say that they are not a currency exchanger, a lot of people already got their paypal account suspended because of bitcoin trading.
I do not recommend to anyone to use bitcoin and paypal.
Sigh!!! Ok, didn't want to setup yet another online payment account. But out of curiosity, how would PP know that two people were trading bitcoins and using PP as the payment method?
Poor guy. Did this ever work? I received photocopied letters like this in the '90s...
A chain letter
I love this bumpy ass ride.
Are you sure that "bumpy ass" isn't something contagious you picked up? Whatever you do, please do not pass it along
