@darkstar_, as someone who has watched the charts a bit I think Friday at 23:59 might be a good time to get the btc conversion rate. There's normally something stupid happening on the Sunday-Monday period price wise. (although it might not affect things too much in the bull run).
I can perfectly understand the reasons behind this change, volatility is very high and continuously adjusting BTC-based rates would consume time and work in such a situation, and it would also be riskier for the entities behind the campaigns. But it's a bit sad because it shows how far away Bitcoin is still from being a "real currency".
Yeah @lidl, stop converting euros to pounds because it makes pounds seem like they're not a real currency: is my problem with that statement.
You buy a decent house in the UK you can expect to pay £250k+, to buy a nice house in Sweden you can probably expect to pay 2.5M krona+ (you actually could buy both with €230k if you really wanted to, I'm sure there's someone out there within the next 6 weeks+ - typical minimum house sale period that would take you up on that conversion without fees).
It is a point that if you earn in a currency you can expect to be paying in that currency for simplicity but I can understand the reasons not to.
And I suppose this is decent compared to my £1/0.01btc a week i made when I was a (I think full) member here.
