It seems it's the current standard: also buying from Overstock with BTC is limited to US only.

The hope is that they would sell worldwide at a later time.

If I well remember, it has been reported that for Overstock.com it was about 10% of their sales.
Not sure if that percentage is right or if it can be applied to a so bigger company but maybe that could be a starting point for further speculations.

EDIT:
Sorry, I was wrong. That 10% was the percentage of BTC from sales that Overstock would take on HOLD.
About the sales numbers, their CEO predicted that Overstock will see a total of $10-15m in bitcoin sales this year. (*)
So, considering that the revenues for the last year were 1.3b, we could speculate on about 1% of sales are BTC transactions. Any Thoughts?

If I had to choose I would say Paypal, but considering that Ebay owns Paypal, then Ebay should be better.

Me too; I didn't realize how much Dell was bigger than the other companies already accepting BTC until I saw that chart.
Though no correction has still happened, at the moment.

In the sticky of this section there is everything:
Forum ranks/positions (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?)

This is what shocked me:

I think that the following graph is pretty self-explanatory about the impact of this news:

TL;DR?

Bitcoin is still here.
Bitcoin is here to stay (it seems).

You are surprised only because you don't know how much expensive can be a pizza. 

I'm wondering the same thing. More than 1000 users are a lot.
OP, would you care to explain a little more?

LOL, I think you are right. It can't be just a coincidence that the results are often so useless.

Waiting for the new forum software, I think that ATM our best options are:
- using google search like other users have suggested;
- using the search function on https://bitcointa.lk , an unrelated website that is currently mirroring https://bitcointalk.org .

Great! All we need is just necroing old activity questions too! 

This is the one I like (you can directly select your SP30 hardware):

More in general, as already suggested, you can take a look at the Mining speculation subforum.

This is, for example, a thread with other links to mining calculators:
Mining > Mining speculation > best mining calculator

Not at the moment:

Yes, that bbcode doesn't work.

In a similar thread, has been reported that it was probably disabled for security reasons.

Banned for still not having banned anyone using a question.

Because someone with his time-machine brought us this thread from 2011.

It is CPU intensive, but the program isn't multi-threaded.
So what you get is just one CPU core at 100% for all the rendering time (at least with the Dot algorithm, not sure about the others).

I could try another rendering with a different layout, beside Dot (already tried) and Neato (as per Welsh's hint).
Any thoughts about which one to use? Which one could best fit?

Seven months ago, with that difficulty, it would have cost you $3,162,791,285,103,330,000.00 per block just for paper and ink.

tl;dr - mining by hand is no longer profitable. (LOL)

I don't like duplicated threads. 

What do you HATE most?

Congrats, I think you deserved it.
