I'm in the UK. I've got a gyft account, unfortunately there isn't much choice yet for UK customers - they've said that they will be looking to improve this in 2014.

Can we use Gyft in the UK?

Yeah, just not for very much right now. We have a very big market for gift cards here though so hope to see that change next year.

Which ones can we use? As I mentioned in the other thread, buying giftcards would be a quick and easy way to convert you BTC into something you can spend on the highstreet, but here's hoping we wont need to use Gyft and many highstreet stores will just start accepting BTC themselves in 2014.

Choose the UK option and see what there is.

Just signed up and there doesn't seem to be any UK merchants currently, unless I'm doing something wrong. According to this UK amazon vouchers are coming soon though.

If Bitcoin price became stable and an e-commerce giant like Amazon added it as a payment option then 100% yes.
Once a giant online retailer ads it thousands more will follow

This is exactly what needs to happen. If a big retailer does start accepting it it'll most likely push the value through the roof and more and more retailers will indeed follow.

This tread is full of loosers.

Your write Tongue.

Yes, proper grammar is important, but it's not that big of a deal. But sometimes improper grammar could get you put on the Sex Offenders' Register: "Let's eat out children" Vs Let's eat out, children Tongue.

I'm a Libertarian Socialist, but don't really believe in this redistribution of wealth. Giving everybody free money wont make people equal. Some people are just bad at dealing with cash for a start.

I do believe Bitcoins/cryptocurrencies could be part of a revolution, and really can fuck the banksters and corporations over bigtime. How and when is up to the people.

19469  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why should I use Bitcoin instead of Paypal? on: December 11, 2013, 02:27:23 PM
Because Paypal and eBay are twats. I think everybody has already mentioned pretty much all the reasons why BTC/cryptos are better.


19470  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Internet and what it represents is why Bitcoin will kill all currency on: December 11, 2013, 02:23:17 PM
i dont know if it will "kill all currency" as you stated
it will be an alternative option

it might kill paypal and western union though  Grin

I agree with this. If people had any sense Cryptos should fatally wound PP & WU, but how long they take to actually die is another question. Cryptos might kill fiat currencies eventually, but it's a long way off. Cryptos need to become so easy to use and store that our grandparents can use them with ease.

If people had any sense BTC/cryptos should destroy Paypal.

Do you guys reckon there's a reason/conspiracy theory why they haven't started accepting them, or is there some other less suspicious reason? I personally cannot fathom why they haven't implemented BTC donations yet.

Was is just me or was that Dr. Christos Vlachos occasionally/randomly talking in his native language, or was he just talking really fast? Found it comical either way.

you can post your selling rate here.

Looks like $900 (+PP fees).

Are you willing to escrow?
19477  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do I need to be worried about reusing account addresses? on: December 11, 2013, 01:29:45 PM
Should I generate a new one with each transaction or is it safe to keep using the same one? Coinbase keeps spitting out the same address whenever I try to move BTC over there.

You don't need to. Depends on what you're doing. Also, it doesn't matter if people know your public addresses, just keep your private keys and log in details safe.

Does Gyft work in the UK? If so, I'll buy all my christmas presents with bitcoin Smiley

+1 looking for UK options... not a lot to be got.

I was also wondering this. I'm guessing you can't, but a service like this for the UK would be great.

http://www.gyft.com/shop-for-gift-cards/



I asked Gyft a while ago and apparently they are planning on looking after the UK properly next year. Smiley

Interesting. It would be a quick and easy way to convert you BTC into something you can spend on the highstreet, but here's hoping we wont need to use Gyft and many highstreet stores will just start accepting BTC in 2014.
19479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Christmas shopping on: December 11, 2013, 01:25:44 PM
I'm buying gifts and I'm looking for suggestions. I'm looking for gift which I can pay for in BTC - I just bought a knife from knives4bitcoin as a gift for my cousin. If anyone has any others they'd like to share, please post here.

What country are you in? In the US you can buy giftcards with BTC on Gyft: http://www.gyft.com/shop-for-gift-cards/

There's a thread about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=366559.0
