Bitcoin / Bitcoins / Crypto Currency

What point in time would you take for the exchange then? The average on the day someone says they want to buy it? the moment they confirm? Could it be easier to list it as 0.5BTC say, and hope the arse doesn't fall out of the coin over the weekend?

I've given this some thought. I think I'd agree a point in time to take a price from a mutually agreed exchange.

Just a thought, but do any of these problems indicate why you might not want to take BTC in the first place?

Absolutely. However I personally believe the huge fluctuation situation to be somewhat temporary. I reckon things will stabilise over the next five years however there is always the risk that somebody or something breaks Bitcoin in the meantime.
