"Only the beginning"?  I would have loved to have some names dropped.  ;)  I guess we will have to be patient and see what major retailers are on the brink.

This is only speculation and wishful thinking so there are no names to be dropped. Shame. I got a bit excited by the headline.

I think TigerDirect has been pretty big!  Can't wait for the day that Amazon announces BTC support!

"One great beacon here is major retailers like Overstock  -- and there have been others -- hopping onboard, there are others of similar stature in the pipeline." - Fred Ehrsam

So, this is turning out to be a full-on pony show. They announced this months ago, and there's been zero progress. Just a room full of overpaid mouthpieces saying really obvious self promoting platitudes and euphemisms, but zero action.

So, good news overall (and I mean that, the longer they take to get their act together, the more progress the network makes, in users and new features)
