Bitcoin Forum

I am kind of Curious How many people buy stuff like hosting VPN Etc with their bitcoins ???
Also doesnt have to be hosting but any service

http://bitvps.com/ (http://bitvps.com/) has excellent prices for excellent service as well. Recommended.

Yea i was looking at them  which is what peaks my curiosity ,  However i already own a web hosting company so i have no need for there services myself .

Looking to see what else there is

I have plenty of times. There are a lot of talented people who do stuff for bitcoin.

I was looking to buy a physical bitcoin once, with bitcoins ... actually, merely a worthless representation of one ... sortof as a 'desktop mascot' for my den. But then I woke up.

I'm a small-time miner. I mine bitcoins. Then I sell them to pay my bills. In a sense, that is paying for a service.

So you will be offering hosting in Bitcoins right?

Yea there prices are good ... my company has similar pricing wondering if i should accept bitcoins also on my site ,   Also i been toying around mining with some of my spare hardware.

I suspect the vast majority of people convert their Bitcoins to a local currency to purchase things. I used to do that. Now that the community is growing though, it's getting easier to buy stuff without having to convert.

Yeah, count me in.

I can but currently my hosting site does not reflect that , 

And once i am not a newbie i will add that to my profile ...  shameless self promotion is not always good

Does anyone think there are any app developer / Php guys who work for bitcoins ?

Most of the people who has bitcoins i guess.

Using Bitcoin for currency exchange - I have payments going into an account in one country and rather than paying 5% fees to a bank, am moving it in coins.  Going to save me about US100 this month.

I have used my Bitcoins to buy: hardware, coding/web design and I try to use my Bitcoins as much as possible to support the community :)
I also sell Spotify codes and a couple of other things for bitcoins, so I guess I use my bitcoins both as a seller and as a buyer

I maybe interested in using mine for coding / design work

Not sure if this is on topic... I use my bitcoins to gamble. So Im buying anonymous gambling services.

Sure gambling is a service lol

Just like when i leave for Vegas on Saturday  the casino provides me with gambling services

I still think this will be the killer app for Bitcoin.  I was about to depsoit some USD into a poker site just before they got taken down by homeland security :( and bitcoin poker was the first I had ever heard of Bitcoin.

I knew someone who was mining it lol   Logged into there machine and was intrigued

I imagine it went like this...
WAIT YOU ARE PRINTING MONEY WITH YOUR VIDEO CARD... WTF!!
lol bitcoins :)

Not exactly .... soon as i got my head into it i thought it was neat    figured out i have about 340 Mhash of Idle equipment sitting around my house   

LOL   Not many people have that much idle

I had a 5850 idle when i started. About 340. I now have 2 5830s and a 5770 mining.

What does that put you at like 1Gh?

Yeah... on a good day

Fun...    I mine on my own pool though,   I like to know how to do everything ya know
I think if i win big in Vegas i may get a couple of good cards I got plenty of low power
pcs laying around with PciE slots

What do they sell  ??  Cables ?

I do

I used to have two machines mining, and they doubled as heaters during the winter, not so good now that it's summer though :/

I've tried using bitcoin when i bought a hardware.

I would be very happy to work for bitcoins, but I'm a ruby (RoR), C/C++, and Java guy.

I've used BitcoinTorrentz quite a bit to get around my college's blanket "ban" on Bittorrent no matter if I'm just downloading a Linux ISO or something, and I've also paid someone for some graphics work.  Otherwise it's mostly just been playing around with darts and BlackJack and such.

To me, the biggest reason for using bitcoin is that I'm able to buy preloaded Visa debit cards which I can use to buy services anonymously. Hopefully, the market will grow and more services will become available so I don't have to resort to the debit cards anymore.

@Ricochet: totally off-topic but why do you say dslreports.com is biased? I'm having some trouble dealing with them & their forums.

I see services selling visa giftcards so doesn't that mean it's easy to buy almost anything?

In that case why would it matter as long as a business takes credit cards...
