Hm.. Just last week Newegg told me that they have no plans to ever accept bitcoin

"Thank you for contacting Newegg.

Yeah, they've had that standard boilerplate for a long, long time. I wonder what finally tipped their hand. Probably all this positive press around the auction. It's obvious bitcoin is being given the green light by the US government, and that it's here to stay. I see more big companies jumping on board in the near future.

Either that, or the state of California clearing up the waters (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2449020/california-law-removes-ban-on-alternative-currencies.html) about accepting crypto currencies (which used to be illegal, even if not really enforced).

I don't really understand the question. What sort of loophole may he be talking about?
