Chargebacks. Also, not being responsible for someone else's fraud. And it would be nice if 90% of businesses involved with Bitcoin in any capacity didn't have websites that look like they were set up in 10 minutes and are ready to disappear with your money at any moment.
I mean, it's not like I'm surprised that libertarian currency has numerous financial advantages for businesses and zero protection for consumers because it fits right into their egotistical sociopathic pseudo-intellectual crackpot philosophy, but still.

I like to have:
1) simple transaction export to csv - bookkeeping
2) multiple wallets (is it implemented in SCL?) support
(wallet1.dat, walle2.dat wallet.... )
3) multi-sign payment - 2 ore more must sign off to transfer coin out. (I think this feature was actually planned for BTC)
4) Bitcoin Escrow - for more, see: https://raw.github.com/sacarlson/MultiCoin/master/doc/README_escrow.txt
5) Fast transaction confirmation - future target: same speed (or better) as credit and debit card payments. I can not cave customers hanging around at the counter for 10+ minutes.

I would need Bitcoin to double as both a dessert topping and a floor wax for it to be anything other than useless to me.

What do businesses and customers actually need from digital currency?
Can you, as a business owner list at least one BTC feature, that helps you to start using it daily?
Can you, as a consumer (customer) write down a feature you must have, so you can actually use bitcoins in every day life?
Just write down your idea and short description. That is it.
LETS KEEP IT CIVIL, PLEASE!
Why I started this forum thread? I personally think that BTC needs some new features that make it useful in the real world.
Those ideas must come from consumers and business owners like you.
Lets add some _real_ value to bitcoin!
Please, put your heads together and understand the *coins weaknesses. Not only from nerdy miners
point of view but from the consumer/business point of view. Consumers do not give a flying fuck about your hash rates and difficulties divided buy N and what not 
What do merchants want/need? Has anyone read CC, DC, PayPal, Dwolla etc service/product descriptions? What can be copied successfully to BYC?
