Since it's only 4 days old we're not even in the google listings yet so hopefully people will be patient while the directory grows.
Oh... in that case, you're doing fine!  Cool I'd still suggest fixing that multiple entry "bug".

In regards to filling in the directory, since it was just launched 4 days ago I'm still deciding if I want to fill in the directory with businesses myself or not.  I would rather have merchants submit the site themselves, that way I know they found the site, they find it useful, and I feel more comfortable having merchants fill out their own business details.
Sure, that's ideal, but there's a hurdle every community has to get over before it spreads. I can't see this taking off any time soon with only 3-4 unique entries. Maybe fill in some light data about each business and allow them to "claim" or "replace" it later on with a full-fledged listing, that way the site is at least somewhat useful to the community that'll be spreading the word about it.

Re: Runescape gold/accounts for bitcoins?

I currently have a few accounts almost to the right levels, but I was wondering if anyone would buy them with Bitcoins? The lack of people selling them for Bitcoins is a bit disturbing...
Aren't they pretty easy to recover? A scammer would have an easy time "selling" accounts for Bitcoins (irreversible) only to recover the account later and regain control.

Are there supposed to be duplicate entries? I see "Bit by Bit" and "base2shop.com" listed twice in their respective categories.

Also, any chance you'll go through and fill in the directory a bit? I was thinking of starting a competing service to base2shop.com but just came across DownloadCoin.com. Glad I did, because the latter is really well done and has a lower transaction fee than I would have started with. It would have been incredibly wasteful had I not stumbled across it before starting development of my own service.

The source in on github I believe.

Though http://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/ may be of more use for learning purposes.

Re: Whitelist Requests (Want out of here?)

I've lurked here and kept up on market fluctuations (via BitcoinCharts.com) for the last few months, trying deciding whether or not to take the plunge into the Bitcoin market. I've done a few days of mining on my lowly Radeon HD 4850 (embarrassing MHash/s rate) and very much due for an upgrade. I have an IRL friend that's heavily into mining and we've had several discussions about his success and the possibility of building my own mining rig.

I'm a web developer and programmer and may contribute some of my time and skills to develop Bitcoin-based tools.

I'm primarily looking to be whitelisted to communicate with another forum member in his thread about my upcoming purchase of his goods. Otherwise, I plan to continue lurking unless I have something of value to post.
