You gave me a headache just reading this. Nevermind implementing it. lol

Lol buying BitCoins with PP.... that sounds like a scam. This is how I purchased BC's. I opened an account on Mt.gox. After I opened an account on Mt.gox I funded that through a 3rd party called Bitinstant. You can set up a transaction online and fund your Mt.gox account by using Bitinstant and paying for the transaction at a Walmart or CVS. Mt.gox-Bitinstant-Walmart-moneygram. The money you send via Moneygram goes to your Mt.gox account, and from there you purchase Bitcoins. You then have a code that corresponds to the BC's you purchased and can send them where you would like to. It sounds moderately complex, but once you check it out the process becomes much more clear.

The value swings wildly people... so approach with caution and spend wisely.

As opposed to all your Lock funds, which are rock solid and safer than CDs. Last I heard, they were trading under $0.40/$1.00 and in some cases as low as $0.30. Hopefully you donked all yours off when they were worth more.

So yeah, I don't immediately see the added value using bitcoins over say, GDMP for online transactions. It seems like the downsides are that it's not widely accepted (compared to say, Visa), a PITA with lots of fees to acquire, and has a wildly fluctuating value right now. Does it offer anything in the way of anonymity or not leaving a paper trail or ??? that would offset these?

yea Lock they are saying is the next Full Tilt Poker about to crash.
