The number of requests for BitBrew coffee from abroad have grown so much, I've finally been able to negotiate much better international shipping rates. Now, for only 1.5 BTC more, even those outside the continental US can enjoy premium coffee in exchange for bitcoins.

My thanks go out to all current and future customers for helping to grow the Bitcoin economy.

I haven't mined a day in my life.

I came across Bitcoin while doing some research on economics (to make an educated reply in another forum) back in April. I was lucky enough to get to buy some via PayPal before that option went up in smoke, but I was stupid enough to gamble them away. In the end, when the exchange rate began to increase dramatically, I was back where I started - at zero.

In hindsight, I do wish I had purchased more and acted more responsibly with them, of course, but my poor decisions don't take away from the desirable qualities of bitcoins which attracted me to them in the first place. At the moment, they seem to be a way to get rich in and of themselves, but this is simply a byproduct of the market, not built into the bitcoin client.

My advice to anyone who feels that they're being left behind by the Bitcoin train: review your motives and carefully consider why you want bitcoins.

I was reluctant to reply when this thread was first created because I was sure the many individuals who offer hosting would jump at the opportunity to solicit your business, but since they haven't...

I can offer you webhosting that would match your needs for 1 BTC a month and I'm willing to adjust that price each month in accordance with the going exchange rate.

PM me for more details.

Yes, a horse named Satoshi.

He doesn't have to change behaviorally, just watch his post content.

I see where he's coming from, also. I was 23 when I became a retail business owner and I've been told I look much younger than I actually am. Consequently, I had several customers who refused to believe I was the owner or manager, thinking that, at best, I was the owner's son. I can't say with any certainty how much business I lost because of this, of course, but I can attest to the fact that many people will judge you based on your age.

And just to get it out of the way - No, I'm not Atlas.

Since this game has been closed indefinitely, I thought I'd let anyone interested know that a very similar game has started up at http://bitcat.ch/.

The game ends and whoever hasn't gotten paid yet loses out.

I was just about to ask the same thing. It says "and never ends" at the top.

I do believe this round was set to end around this time.

Since no one else is answering your question:

Yes, you can still have btc sent to any old addresses mybitcoin.com generates and they should show up in your wallet.

Don't limit yourself to RL, shakaru. I can envision some instances when a sidekick can come in handy online. You'd be like a sockpuppet without the ethical dilemmas!

Ditto.

Site's back.

Edit: Nevermind. Gone again.

I don't understand what you're implying. That Satoshi isn't his (her?) real name? Did anyone ever think it was?Or that the white paper popped into existence out of thin air?

That's a good idea, k. I'd sign up for a newsletter.

Added you to The Bitcoin List as well: http://www.thebitcoinlist.com/listing/virtex/

Yes, I see your order. Coffee will be roasted Tuesday due to the holiday and shipped out Wednesday.

Thanks for shopping at BitBrew!

I sent them a message and recommended they respond in this forum.
