Hi
Yes I'd like to see this happen but it would require development.
There are different ways of doing it.
1) the site has a bitcoin account, and virtual bitcoin are passed between members. Every time a real bitcoin payment is made, a virtual payment is triggered from the virtual bitcoin reservoir account. this would be fairly easy.
2) The module acts as a bitcoin client, creating wallets, managing payments and displaying balances. This would involve full knowledge of the bitcoin API, and you wouldn't be able to use much of the module, but the bitcoin part would still give site builders a drupalish experience.
3) Integration with blockchain.info or similar through their API.
So which method did you have in mind?
Note that such work will be much easier in the drupal 8 version, alpha is coming very soon.

Ah, I am delighted you are thinking along with me,

So far I wish lots of flexibility. either the user of blockchain api or one's bitcoin address. you can also user the bitcoind server info.

I will also glad if there could be a commerce module integration too, because a user might need to purchase an item via the commerce module and have the funds being saved using the community accounting feature, there could be an extensive feature such as send, transfer, request payments and so one. just like a marketplace feature,

what do you think, I would like to contribute towards this as well. let's make up the points to include.
