Title: Lets get reddit to accept bitcoin for reddit gold.
Post by: Bitcoin Oz on September 12, 2011, 10:03:53 AM
I tried creating a reddit thread where people could pledge to buy a reddit gold membership if they start accepting bitcoin for it. I would buy a 12 month one if they did so. How many other people would join me ?

I wouldn't personally buy a 12 month, but that is because any funds that I have going toward online discussions must be going to SomethingAwful first, then reddit.   I can't say I would 'arrow down' this idea either, it makes little sense to me for most sites not to have a payment system in place taking into account other currencies, or at the least, the one that was made for internet transactions specifically in mind.

I thought you left the forum noagendamarket?

Also, your submission to r/bitcoin isn't showing up for me in the new queue, although if I click on your link I can see it.

I'm not 100% certain but I think that means your account has been flagged as a spammer or something. You may want to message one of the mods asking to get your account become an approved submitter one so that this doesn't occur again.

I don't promote crippled websites. 

I find continued usage of crippled websites a higher form of promotion.

Wow, that was a shitload of responses.  That went from being an unseen post on /r/Bitcoin to top page, awesome.
