I have registered the domain name bitcoinexchange.com and will start
coding the service sometime soon as a nice leisure activity. I’m
envisioning a simple Google-like interface with no registration and
only two texts fields on the front page, where you insert the amount
of money you wish to trade, and either your PayPal address to buy
dollars or bitcoin address to buy bitcoins. On the next page you’ll
get a new bitcoin address for sending the coins or a check code for
the PayPal transaction text.
PayPal is good for the beginning - it’s simple and has no startup
costs, but later on I might accept credit cards also.
Do you still need the maintenance account? It’s ok if you do, but
change the password to something else.
