ATM is definitely important, but as for COOLEST, I opt for: http://money.cnn.com/2013/11/13/investing/bitcoins-philippines-typhoon-donations/

Mastercoin is a pretty cool idea, a protocol being built on top of bitcoin, not another alt coin!

Sorry but I don't get you, Mastercoin is another coin like Bitcoin which you can spend and use em?

There are (or at least were) two mastercoin alts.  One was just another "alt".  The one being built on the protocol layer is the interesting one.  I would add a link but i don't think I can add links cause I am new.

Give an application/website a bitcoin wallet. Program it to buy it's own hosting.

Basically, we could one day have entire corporations that are run online without any human interaction that only charges an overhead equal to what it costs to run the business. It would have incredible implications.

For fun, you could put a backup in the wild that verifies the main site is running. If it is down then the backup goes live. You could program it to move every X days.

Imagine if the silk road operated like that? No human control just a permanent service that existed in the wild. It could even send profits directly to your wallet and you'd never have to interact with it at all.

Sounds like the beginnings of SkyNet

The coolest thing currently being done with Bitcoin has to be WITHDRAWING CASH for the 1st Atm in Canada...followed by the Gift Cards available for HOTELS and purchases at Mainstream Retailers like Sears, Amazon and others.

What about that ATM in Vancouver?

That's the most scariest thing I've seen done with bitcoin. THEY WANT A SCAN OF YOUR HAND! Screw biometrics!

I vote this as the coolest thing done with Bitcoins www.takeaway.com , a fast food aggregator, because Bitcoin miners can now feed themselves without ever having to use fiat!  Cheesy

BIP38 is actually really cool, and I don't think advancements in this type of security would have gone as fast without Bitcoin.

I think the MasterCoin protocol is super awesome. It it works then bitcoin becomes more robust and demand goes up. Mastercoin is revolutionary and takes away more financial controls from the old system and decentralizes them for the people.

I'll second Mastercoin. As has been said elsewhere, it's definitely not just another altcoin. Moreover, development of the protocol is progressing rapidly, thanks to the simplicity of its design. (Full disclosure: I own some Mastercoin.)

Wow - thanks! You can't imagine how nice it is to have other people excited about this. I've been excited about it for a couple years, but I worked in solitude until very recently.

It's truly amazing how much dedication you have to work on a project single handed for such a long period of time. Without at least one other person to question my approach to a problem; I wouldn't trust myself Roll Eyes.

Any advice if Bitcoin ATMs have hit Australian shores yet? I did read that they were being imported, but can't remember where now.

Looking at the cost of the ATM, good luck on trying to break-even..

Changing avatars is currently not possible.
I agree with those saying the ATM.  Just seeing these around I could see it legitimizing Bitcoin for those that aren't aware of it, or sure about it.

I think competitive gaming would be very cool to integrate with Bitcoin.

Something along the lines of what is being done with http://www.leetcoin.com/

MCXnow- Altcoin exchange, Interest payments (like a bank), a stock program, games with altcoins coming soon they say and that will give purpose to any altcoin listed here. Some altcoins have no use except for that you can trade them for Bitcoins.
Devcoin- Earn free coins writing, then trade them for Bitcoins on MCXnow

And I've read that devcoin supports 3D printing projects, community building projects and even plans to build a rocket in the future, you can read about it here: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty
