http://www.ariapc.co.uk/superspecials/Following quickly on the heels of Scan.co.uk another UK computer parts company will be accepting bitcoin from Monday 10th February. Also they have a sale on a bitcoin / altcoin mining frame for holding graphics cards

http://www.scan.co.uk/info/bitcoinYou can now buy PC hardware and other things in the UK with bitcoin! I use this site for the vast majority of my hardware so this is fantastic news, kind of tempted to treat myself to a new graphics card

Just got the same email myself, obviously to do with this site getting hacked a while back now someone has a huge list of email addresses to spam.

It really annoys me when people start all their sentences with "So...". In English you BARELY EVER start a sentence with "So..." and it's even rarer to use it to answer a direct question. I mean WTF? I thought this was a quick fad but it's been going on long enough and we have to put a stop to it. I'm starting a committee or something. It drives me fucking nuts. Learn to English.
So let me get this straight, starting a sentence with "So" annoys you and you just have to vent like a little child? Also "Learn to English", what sort of terrible grammar is that? I think you meant "Learn to speak English" ? |

Surely the best targets are those that are mostly cash only and don't accept cards due to their fees. Things like butchers and groceries stores.

The answer is simple, if you can't afford it, don't buy it Most of the worlds problems is because people get way out of touch with their debt and affordability. |

How do you sue a protocol that isn't owned by any one person, company or country?

I believe the media is necessary to drive up the price, and the media appears to be getting tired of doing Bitcoin stories. We need a new ATH or some big corporate endorsement in order to reinvigorate the positive reporting.
My prediction is if we don't get a good rally up to $1050+ today and a new all time high early next week we're more likely than not to be in a bear market by the end of next week.
I think I'd be happy with it hovering around $1000 for the next month or so over Christmas / New Year with a new rally starting in later January. Lets be honest its been a great year for Bitcoin and the price of it, getting greedy and wanting another run around the festive period is asking for trouble as so many people have other commitments around this time that it will be hard to react to things. |

Does this count as irony?!
Best case of irony I have seen in a long time. |

I went all in a bit back, now my Bitcoins are worth about the same as half my current capital in my mortgage  |

He's hit the nail on the head, what really sucks about Bitcoins is the fact that if you save them they become worth more, unlike the £££ in my bank account that loses value at a rate of about 5% per year.  |

That makes a bit more sense Will be interesting to see if this actually takes off, the UK market has been very stagnant and had lots of issues with banks. This could be exactly what is needed for things to start taking off over here. |

I think the ability to hold increases the more you could have right now if you had held in the past. My current stash is about 30% of what it could be if only I had bought and held in the past. Now I am wiser(?) and learn to ignore all the waves and just realise that the tide is creeping higher if you look past all these big waves coming at you constantly.

So his premise is that Bitcoins can't be real money, because you can't manufacture something for Bitcoins without at some point converting it to fiat?
Surely that's the same premise as saying you can't manufacture something for $$$ without first converting to £££ or Yuan or Euros, if the materials you need are priced in that.

Wonder how much of a markup they will have? Also who could the company be with 28,000 locations? I thought perhaps someone like Spar, but they only appear to have around 2400 stores.

I don't even understand why this is taken as bad news, its just neutral. Banks can't trade in bitcoins or take out insurance against them, hardly surprising. Individuals can do what they want but they accept the risk.
This is no change to how the rest of the world is working with Bitcoins. I'm surprised if any Chinese banks have invested in Bitcoins heavily anyway.
