Title: Best news in Bitcoin in 2012 Post by: minorman on November 19, 2012, 10:53:21 PM Let's compile a list of good (and bad) news for Bitcoin YTD? 2012 events only.
I'm not talking about changes in price, volume, user base or that sort of thing. I'm also not talking about vaporware or things which have only been announced, bot not yet hit the market (e.g. Ellet, Bitcoincard, Bitinstant's Mastercard, ASICs, etc.). Real developments - good or bad. List so far: +Bitcoin magazine now shipping (four issues and counting) +Wordpress accepting bitcoin +Launch of The Bitcoin Foundation +Blockchain.info's hybrid ewallet service (iPhone compatible) +The London conference +ECB report on virtual currencies (55 p - essentially bitcoin) +Bitinstant and its 700k cash deposit locations +Satoshidice, Bitzino and provably fair gambling +Coinapult +Pirateat40 default +bitcoinstore.com +ogrr.com & mmoexchange.net merger +torrentleech.org accepting bitcoin +Bitinstant cash-4-bitcoin sites +Bitcoin Friday +Coinbase and BFL securing VC funding +... -The Bitcoinica fiasco -Closure of GLBSE -Closure of Cryptoexchange -...

I was so stoked when I went to slysoft’s download page to update my copy of anydvd and saw the advert giving 50% off for any new purchase. Anydvd and Blockbuster have been a winning combo for me for about 8 years now. I was so excited to see them take Bitcoin I bought GameJackal Pro because it’s the only thing they make that I don’t already own. I don’t even have a use for GameJackal.
