Random Bitcoin Apps (that don't exist)

- BitGallery: A flash-based art gallery where you are shown two or three examples of the artist's portfolio at low resolution. Enter the gallery for a Bitcoin donation and see all of the artist's work at high resolution.

- BitPet: A webcam of a hamster with a food dispenser connected to a computer. Every time you send a Bitcoin, the hamster gets fed. Who would let a hamster die? You'd make milllllllllions!

- BitVids: A NetFlix-type service where you pay a Bitcoin to watch a full-HD movie. No accounts or subscriptions required (thanks to osmosis for this one).

- BitVote: Associate your voter registration (for a club/town/city/country) with a Bitcoin public key. A tiny amount of BTC sent from your wallet is your vote. Vote from home.

- BitShot: A webcam of a guy standing against a wall. Send a Bitcoin and he gets shot with a paintball. Excellent for de-stressing after a long day at work.

- BitTourist: Find someone in a city you're traveling to who wants to buy Bitcoins. Meet them at your destination and sell them your Bitcoins for the local currency. Save a ton of money on currency exchange.

- BitServant: List of people in your area who are willing to run errands or do chores. If their status indicates "available," send them Bitcoins to complete your task (groceries, shopping, lawn mowing, snow shoveling, etc).

    >guy leaning against wall, smoking a cigarette, 3 or 4 paintball hits on his chest already, waiting for the next donation<

    Wall-guy: Dude, I've been standing here for hours. How much longer are we gonna do this?

    Gun-guy: (off screen) As long as it takes, for you to make me enough coins to pay for that dent you put in my car, now quit whining...

    >I get home from work, really pissed off, sign on, sees post about these guys, open my wallet, and empty it<

    Wall-guy: At this rate, we'll be here all year...

    Wall-guy: >flicks his cigarette away< Alright, lets get this over wi... uh... what are you doing?

    Gun-guy: I gotta reload.

    Wall-guy: Why? You've only taken 5 shots?

    Gun-guy: um, yeah... >reloads his spare magazine< ...we need more.

    Wall-guy: Just how many coins came in?

    Gun-guy: Uh, just go with it. Movies and beer tonight? My treat!

    Wall-guy: oh crap... >looks directly at the webcam, flipping it the finger, just as a few hundred rapid-fire paint-balls start peppering him all over<

    Um... yeah... I'd pay for this service...
