As Maged said, it's probably too much to ask for direct implementation into the AH, but i assume (haven't used it yet) you have to charge your account on their website using one of the current payment processors, they could add bitcoin to that and add 'euros/dollars' to your account at the current exchange rate. Thats not even hard or expensive to implement. The only reasons i can think of that make an argument for blizzard i think is that they have less overhead costs from the payment processor (none?). Also enables people who want to remain anonymous to use real money AH. (extra users) btw; i thought ogrr was bigger, my mistake  but still impressive site imho. |

Blizzard aren't going to implement Bitcoin in Diablo 3. I don't understand why you guys think they will.
Sure, it'd be a cool idea, for us Bitcoin users, but the majority of the general public will just use conventional methods.
Sure, it'd be great for adoption, but Blizzard aren't going to use a currency with hardly any users in comparison to conventional means, especially one that many small-scale businesses aren't using.
Start small, then the big companies will follow. Bitcoin is still an infant.
Blizzard is a huge company. They care about easy profits, not adopting a digital currency with a tiny market cap..
Come on, you guys seriously think they'd consider it? Not to mention that it'd cost them thousands of dollars to implement and test a Bitcoin auction house, which would mean they'd probably lose money in the long run as I don't think they'd recoup that money any time soon. (consider the amount of Diablo 3 players that use the real money auction house and have a Bitcoin wallet - not a huge market)
Do you think they'd consider using a payment processor like AlertPay/SolidTrustPay/LibertyReserve in Diablo 3? Nope, I don't. These are all quite shady payment processors in the view of a large company and they will simply group Bitcoin up with them.
There already is a huge trading platform for diablo stuff using bitcoin. IMHO it would be a smart and profitable move from Blizzard to adopt new 'revolutionary' payment methods. Will they consider it? That depends on who decides really, clueless employees will trash it yea... true dat. And that's probably where our tickets/suggestions end up, with the clueless employees. So will Blizzard consider it? I think they would if it gets to the right people. Does it get to the right people? I don't think so. |

Author owns BTC and hopes news will make it go up. Nothing new here. Nobody I know is moving from EUR -> BTC. That would be stupid silly ... IMHO it's the smartest thing you can do with any fiat currency this moment... |

Will there be any simple way for the user to export or backup private keys??
|

if your bitcoins are not showing up after update, do not worry (yet). wait until the blockchain is back up to date the coins will then show up. i had this problem, too.
Yep, you're right Seems it had to download the entire blockchain again, took a bit of time |

Great update, thanks, still the best mobile client imho. When can we expect a wallet 'export' or 'backup' function? With the update my old wallet got screwed up and i lost some BTC in the process  |

It reminds me of the drunk bald guy with the yellow t-shirt of last year that was spamming the web with his shitty videos.
omg thanks for the reminder! almost forgotten him! where has he gone? can't seem to find any of his vids YTKilledRawdog closed his YouTube channel last year That sucks, i loved his bitcoin vids xD [edit] He's back(?) http://www.youtube.com/user/SirRawdoglet |

Take your loss like a man...?
As we all did..

Besides the whole rediculous ponzi idea.
The users buying BTC @ 10.000 USD can still spend that bitcoin for an equal amount of goods and services. So, there's no loss for anyone using BTC as money. Only a high risk of loss or profit if you use it as an early investment.
Also, bare in mind that IF those people become wealthy they did do something for it. They started a revolutionary global 'free' currency.

Of course the whole idea is idiotic in a practical sense for the users.
But for governments it will be a key issue to kill bitcoin.
They will require some form of regulation, if not at user base, it will be at exchange base.
Forcing them to taint or quarantine coins will be one of the first demands. If they don't abide by those rules, they will be shut down.
I hope it won't come to that, but currently i view this as inevitable.

The dev team is polishing things up before release. As the MicroCash.org site states, the release was scheduled around the "tenth". Tell me this, what is up with that recent theft of over 18,000 BTCs??? Just another reason why it is time to move on with improved technology....
Oohh i see where you're going, with MicroCrash you don't need scriptkiddies to steal your moneys, the devs will do it for you! That's simply ingenious! Quickly, tell me how do i sell all my bitcoins to get microcash? (having them take my bitcoins AND my microcash sounds kinda silly, but hey, so does this whole topic.) |

OP another SolidCoin / MicroCrash sockpuppet? -.-

@davout, where do they state that? tried to find it on the apple page but no hits with a quick search.
Well if bitcoin hits mainstream they will only digg their own grave by not allowing their customers to use bitcoin.
|

I think this will be a heavy burden for the economy to bare...
But yea, better now then in the future.
Very interesting, meanwhile i'll continue to develop my bitcoin alternative that does not require a blockchain.

Why would they not allow bitcoin apps?

Nog betrouwbare Nederlanders die Bitcoins willen verkopen ? Ik heb er nog best veel nodig! Hoe veel heb je er nodig, PM anders even wat details misschien kan ik je helpen. |

Hoi nederlandse delvers.
Ik delf nu op 324 mhps bij bitminter met een ati 6950 (2 gb)
Kijk ik naar mijn graka , zie ik dat hij maar voor 25% gebruikt wordt.
Hoeveel zou ik mhps zou ik kunnen halen?
Misschien dat je er nog een paar losse mhash uit kan persen maar veel meer als wat je nu hebt gaat er niet in zitten met die kaart hoor. |

Not sure what you mean exactly with a payment processor with bitcoin, but i'm still waiting for a payment gateway that allows people to pay in bitcoin using existing methods.
So the customer is charged with x BTC, then gets the option to pay with BTC/PayPal/CC whatever, and no matter how he pays, the seller gets BTC.
Currently you have to convince your customers to use bitcoin, then they have to find a way to get bitcoin, (then withdraw them) and then send them to the seller. Which just makes bitcoin a hassle to use.

Naturaly you would use different addresses.for each transaction, but following where those transactions all come together is very easy. Using an external mixer service is tricky too, need a lot of trust to do that and it will probably be very expensive at high values and volumes, making bitcoin not so interesting for busines ... I was hoping somebody had a better idea then mixer Services.
So 4 random customers send you money then you pay hosting. If one of those 4 cares they'll see that... you spent the coin... maybe... or maybe you moved it to another wallet you control. I'm not talking about small /home/ business, i'm talking about big business, like amazon.com or other big boys. I agree that even for them bitcoin will only get them a few transactions. But if it becomes more mainstream, so will their finances. Ofcourse normal customers won't go thru the trouble of figuring out the blockchain, but spying on competition is a big business on it's own. |
