So to arbitrage, I need to first sell my coins in China, then buy them back outside China. If you know anything about any part of this plan that might help, please contribute.
To sell in China, I can either use an exchange like BTCChina, or sell for cash locally (localbitcoins?)
Once I have the CNY, I will either wire it to Hong Kong through a friend, or fly the cash to Hong Kong. I'm not sure what the rules are in order to be able to just wire straight from a Chinese bank account to my US/UK bank account or bitstamp. I'm a US citizen.
Once I have cash in Hong Kong, I will either wire it to Bitstamp, fly to someone anywhere in the world who will sell me a large volume of bitcoins at the Bitstamp rate, or convert the cash to gold 1oz pandas and hoard them because they are pretty and shiny.
Thanks for any advice.

What happens if I wire money to MTgox before verifying my account? If I upload the ID, will they approve it fast when the wire arrives? I don't want to wait two weeks in the 14,000 person line. I realize my withdrawls will be restricted, but as long as I can buy bitcoins fast, this is fine.

If you plan to invest more than 50000 USD or equivalent on the long term in bitcoins, we need to know about you. In this case please use our verification system to get your account verified first.
Please also be advised that all deposits are subject to an ID check by our AML team and this process would take up to 1 business day. First-timer depositors are requested to upload their copy of the official ID to facilitate this process (you will not have to be fully verified at this point if your deposit is lower than 50,000 USD)

I have several friends who want to buy amounts between 10k and 200k. Some of them are in the southern California, and some of them are in Malta. What are the current best ways to buy large amounts? What is going on with MtGox? How fast will they be able to buy on gox with the current AML hold up? Does that just affect withdrawls, or deposits and trading too?
Re: How to tell Iran customers to get Bitcoin to pay the bill?
Iranians should run VPN services for Bitcoins, so we can all get Iranian IP addresses to run Bitcoin nodes on.
Then the Iranian Bitcoin scene will look much bigger than it is - and some Journalist will hype it.. and then.. I dunno.. we all get thrown in jail or something.

I would get an Iranian VPN as long as I could connect to a second vpn through the Iranian one to avoid the censorship. I would trust the Iranian VPN provider to not hand over my data to the US government more than anyone else.
Re: How to tell Iran customers to get Bitcoin to pay the bill?
It's impossible for the currency to take off when you can't exchange it easily. The are very few ways to get it into the country. Foreign nationals living in Iran can trade bitcoins to people for their expenses, or Iranians can sell digital goods and services for bitcoin, as artist Mohammad Rafigh is doing. It's the same deal with Argentina.
Why are you wasting everyone's time making scam threads when they executed the transfer? So you waited two weeks for a withdrawl. Big deal.

Is there any way to sign a message with an address using electrum? I want to quit using the satoshi client completely.
Is there a way to copy the signed message to the clipboard fast? It's annoying to select it.
Not that I know of, as of the current release, but I could provide a quick/unofficial patch that automatically copies the signed message to the clipboard, if you're interested.
That would be great!
Here you go! This is a simple mod of the wallet.py file that automatically copies signatures to the clipboard.
To use it, make sure you are running Windows build 1.01e of Electrum,
go to this directory: %AppData%\Electrum_SysFiles\1.01-e\C_\ElectrumPY\lib
and replace the original wallet.py file in there with the one below:

(for your info, the only source code changes are lines 477-478 and importing the Qt library - feel free to manually review the file if you're familiar with Python)
Just found a real easy way to do this. You can append "| clip" to a command and windows 7/vista will copy the output to clipboard.

I just used autohotkey to enter "electrum signmessage bitcoinaddress", paste the message, and then autohotkey "| clip" and the signed message is copied to clipboard.
Bitpay has still not processed the withdrawl for MyRefugeHouse, and I don't think the director will promote it until they come through. I know bitpay has been busy, and they are looking to hire more people, but it would be nice if they could speed this up a bit.
The director is very happy since I pointed out to her that the bitpay balance is still in bitcoins, and that the value is almost $20 now.
Just received another PM, Seth, from Steve.

...if they want the 50 BTC converted, I need an email from them and to confirm it with the email we have on the account.
Please let us know if the previous BTC50 has hit their bank account. Please PM or call me if another issue arises.
Now go get us another NPO, tiger!

The accountant just told her that $492 was deposited last week, and there is still 50btc in the bitpay account. So I guess everything is getting sorted out. She thought it was an automated conversion and deposit.
