Title: Big name in Bitcoin Business on next MetaCo.in deal. Guess and win 500,000 uBTC!
Post by: Gabriel Beal on June 26, 2011, 06:08:19 PM
For tomorrow's deal we're featuring a big name in Bitcoin businesses on MetaCo.in (http://MetaCo.in).  Post your guess as to what business it will be.  You can only guess once.  If you guess right AND you sign up either to follow us on Twitter (@metacoindeals) or sign up for email updates (http://www.metaco.in/account/), you'll win 500,000 uBTC (You have to sign up before you are chosen as the winner).  Well, we'll pick one person randomly from among the people who guess right.

Yes, I'm using uBTC to make it sound larger.  I suspect all bitcoin promotions will eventually quote the prize in Satoshis.

While I wholeheartedly endorse your enthusiasm, you seem to be guessing what business model we'll be employing tomorrow.  You're supposed to try to name the business that will be offering a ridiculously good deal on MetaCo.in tomorrow.

It's not me,  but I am interested in doing a deal.
We specialize in fiber optic transceivers for use in Cisco equipment,  so I don't think the market will be wide enough for that kind of thing.  Do you guys have any suggestions as to what popular product you would like me to do?
I can do USB flash drives,  but they wont be much/any cheaper than other online sites.

Any thoughts on what you would like to see?

Which sites? If you are talking like meritline.com etc, I think USB drives would be fantastic.

I can get just about all the same stuff as Newegg,  but I can't sell it for more than a dollar or two less than they do.

Would you guys be interested in something like this?

http://www.amazon.com/Super-Talent-Pico-C-STU16GPCS-Silver/dp/B001PPPIYM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1309142344&sr=8-3 (http://www.amazon.com/Super-Talent-Pico-C-STU16GPCS-Silver/dp/B001PPPIYM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1309142344&sr=8-3)

I can match the same price on Amazon....

I can confirm that, although the Bitcoin network doesn't yet :) (0 confirmations)
