"How do you eat an elephant? One bit at a time..."

I don't think an auction format will fly for the sale of bitcoins. I list a bitcoin at $10, someone lists it at $9.99. Now I have to edit my auction? How is that any different than an exchange?

Most people will set a "buy it now" price. It will not sell unless it is priced competitively. It's more of an open exchange with buy and sell offers but people can set their minimum asking price or leave it open to auction. If they have a good reputation they could possibly even command a premium. One of the primary benefits is avoiding some of the hassles associated with trading on exchanges.

Okay, here's the bounty:

10 BTC for the best logo design. Post them in this thread. I will set up a poll where people can vote on the best with the winner getting the bounty, free publicity, admiration and envy of the community!

If I'm missing something let me know.

So you are announcing... nothing?

To the contrary, it is a site that will be up shortly. I am posting now so bitcoin users can request the features that they value most. Also, I will have a bounty posted shortly for the logo design.
