Read the article or the above comments. It's not actually a bank at all. They're just confusingly calling their ATM machines 'banks'.

I haven't watched the video but psychiatry seems almost like a kind of pseudo-science to me. It's also alarming how easy doctors seem to throw anti-depressants at people, especially when they seem to be nothing more than Placebos for depression/anxiety etc and actually tend to do more harm than good.

Was gonna ask if they had any plans to offer shares. I'll definitely buy some as I was looking to invest in some Bitcoin companies and I think a company  like bitpay is only going to grow along with Bitcoin.

The prices are not displayed individually but the option to pay in Bitcoin becomes available at checkout. To see if the Australian one accepts them just add something to your cart and check.

That's great news. The first and only times I've ever set up and sent a bank transfer was to purchase coins from Bittylicious. I'll use my debit from now on. So much quicker and easier. I'll probably wait till you accept them in GBP first though.

If he doesn't pay anyone I can guarantee you they'll be in here kicking and screaming. Half of them will probably keep asking every 5 minutes if 'anyone recieved their payments yet?' Happens every time even on established deals.

Write the script then put it on the net or share it on here. I'm sure you could get it crowdfunded in bitcoins if it was good enough and people liked it. I'm also not sure if movie companies even listen to 'pitches' anymore and if they do it'll be incredibly difficult to get one, but if you've got a great script it'll probably find its way to them eventually.

True, but don't staff normally have to get permission from a supervisor or manager to do a price match? I think that's how it works over here, otherwise stuff like this will happen.

Maybe you should read our comments and not assume things. Where did we state we thought this was going to be a permanent operation?

I never thought there'd be something I agreed on with Glen Beck. So it looks like he's actually going to invest some money into Bitcoin and has recommended to his kids that they do? Cool. 

And "Trying to understand something that isn't even there... It doesn't make sense". Isn't he a Christian? 

Easy. Never actually put it through the till or cancel the last transaction. And a lot of places will change cashiers several times without kittying up so you wouldn't know who was dipping in the till.

I've never actually thought about it this way, but I guess you're right. Theft from tills by employees is a big problem. Counterfeiting is also a massive issue which Bitcoin solves too. I think it's only natural that digital payments in some form will replace coins and notes, but I guess half of cash transactions are actually done electronically with either bank transfers or credit/debit cards as well anyway.

I dont think you can refuse to accept legal tender. And I'm almost certain they'll miss out on sales.

Seems unclear, but I found this that shows the law can be different in Scotland:

In England and Wales the £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes are legal tender for payment of any amount. However, they are not legal tender in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

I was just wondering if there's a legal problem with only accepting Bitcoin? Are they actually refusing to accept GBPs? I don't know if the law is different in Scotland, but I don't think a business can refuse to accept legal tender unless it's counterfeit etc. I dont know how well this decision will go down with their customers too. I know the store has an ATM, but will most people be bothered to use it? I guess this is all good and free publicity for the store, but I hope it doesn't backfire for them.

They might not be able to take down Darkwallet but that doesn't mean the powers that be wont try go after Amit and take him down instead.

Which is probably code for once we've worked out how to take our extortionate cut. Obviously I'm all for ebay and other merchants adopting/accepting Bitcoin and also taking their tiny cut in fees etc, but I've got a feeling it won't even be worth using Bitcoin with them once they've got their claws into it. I suppose it'll save them money on creditcard fees as well, so maybe they can pass the savings back onto the users of Bitcoin, but I'm sceptical.

Updownbit can't be counted until there's confirmed payouts, which is tomorrow. I'm thinking he'll pay providing he is who he says he is though. And have you requested that Ritz's also changes his thread title?

He already left positive feedback for Ritz (as did someone else). If you look at Ritz's feedback he has a (+2). I think to neutralise it you'd need at least two positives and from someone directly on the trust list, not someone put there by another. Negative feedback seems to hold more weight than positive too, but it's a confusing system to say the least.

His first payout is tomorrow so you don't have to wait very long to find out if he's legit.
