wheres the highest concentration of bitcoin users?
In terms of users per square km, my guesstimate would be:
1. New York metropolitan area
2. San Francisco Bay Area
3. Helsinki
4. Sydney
5. Stockholm
6. Toronto
7. Randstad
(guesstimate loosely based on statistics @ http://bitcoinstatus.rowit.co.uk)
So like a service that you would pay bitcoin to and they would issue you your usps stamp or ups shipping label?
What I'm thinking of is a network where anyone with a bike, car, van, truck etc can sign up, get a message when a delivery comes up in their area, accept it and make a few b's. A trustworthy network would take time to build up so a simple 'deliver it now' service using UPS, postal services etc. would probably be the only way to get started. Eventually it could build up to a service as anonymous as bitcoin, no names or addresses necessary, just GPS co-ords and times with verification on delivery.This has been in the back of my mind ever since I first saw ebay, bitcoin almost completes the chain by offering an efficient system for CoD with multi-sig transactions, the only part missing is payment of the courier on verification of arrival if no one is there to collect.
love it. if there's any sort of densely populated (by bitcoin users) area we know of...could start testing this system?

give me bitcoin and address ill buy and ship to u
I disagree, at least for most regular porn sites. Porn is only successful due to misdirection and laziness. If subscriptions cannot be charged automatically (which Is currently incompatible with Bitcoin), then it's a non-starter.
Then keep your recurring payments and charge a 30% premium for one-time payments. That way, you don't lose any of your "lazy" customers, while gaining additional privacy-aware customers, who would previously have refused to use your service. Win-win.
Also, bitcoin volatility is not an issue for porn sites as long as bitcoin is bringing in additional customers, because porn sites have large fixed costs and small variable costs.

I think this idea needs a whole lot of development, but could be one of the coolest services bitcoin could offer.
It already IS under development, it's called bitdrop
Look like still in the brainstorming phase.
Do you write the code?

changing Bitcoin in an other currency might be always a problem because it's anonymous and there is now way for authorities to track the source of the money down...
if anyone has amassed 100,000 -500,000 btc and tries to cash out ,i would imagine there would be some serious explaining to be done
how could authoritys prove your coins either did or did not come from a business which was illegal by its nature or illegal because it didnt pay tax every year like every other business is supposed to ?
could you just say you mined them all when mining was easy ?
now I'm understand why early adaptors try to keep their hoarded coins clean! maybe they want to avoid trouble if they want to cash out sometimes in the future...
When you release an address into public, I don't think anything stops people from sharing that address to people not registered in the forum and performing any search on it. From that to Google indexing the addresses, I don't think that's a big step. If you really need anonymity, just do as it's said: one address per transaction, and if you really need your coins not to be tainted, use a mixing service.
that's the number 1 way to get tainted coins 
Imagine standing in front of a tax auditor or a judge in 5-10 years trying to explain that you give you coins to a man you met on the internet called Pirate and he gave you back 3400% interest but the business he did with them was confidential
its all fun and laughs until you get your assets and accounts frozen as "suspicious " .........at some stage bitcoiners are going to need to buy big ticket items like homes etc and i have no idea how the law is going to interpret " internet play money " being changed into millions of real dollars but i expect it wont be smooth sailing and a shitload of regulations will probably be introduced in the next few years

Bitcoin financial services.
Think insurance (CPA on GLBSE)
Assurance
Loans(Hashking, PatrickHarnet)
Background checks, identity verification
Some things that can really only happen because of bitcoin
Peer to Peer package delivery (Bitdrop)
Playing the bitcoin stock market (GLBSE.com)
Hired thugs (someone is eventually going to need their legs broken)
Person to Person bitcoin/fiat exchange.
Lots of ideas.

Your jumping ahead or yourself, there is not even a simple way to get that much into cash right now. Their are significant limits on every exchange as to how much you can move a week or month.
