Yay! Sent my 1 for the next charity.

Just a note to anyone not yet aware that you can exchange bitcoins for PayPal at http://spendbitcoins.com. Lots of feedback on our own site and on bitcoinfeedback.com.

Just click "convert bitcoins" at the top of http://spendbitcoins.com and then choose PayPal. Unfortunately, we are unable to avoid PayPal's $0.30 + 2.9% fee, but we do not add any fees to that. You get the current Mt Gox rate!

http://au.spendbitcoins.com provides an easy way to buy by depositing cash at any NAB for those who'd like to buy bitcoins in Australia.

Oh, and we get cashback on our Amazon credit card as well.

EDIT: Also, you can pay us for a premium listing on the "Places that accept bitcoin" page (or you can list yourself for free non-premium!)

Fantastic question! We make some from people shopping on our affiliate links, particulary Amazon, and we make the rest by reselling the bitcoins anonymously at a premium in Australia (see the "Buy Bitcoins" tab).

Thanks Stephen. If anyone does this successfully please let us know!

My wife made this-> Chase around the world and you can use bitcoins through http://spendbitcoins.com to buy it!

Due to popular demand, we've just added the Kroger group of stores to Spend Bitcoins. Order a physical Kroger group gift card at http://spendbitcoins.com (just click "convert bitcoins" at the top of the site and choose Kroger).

Happy spending!

Expected this to be done late last month, but I'm assured we are getting very close.

I'm pretty sure the facebook poster meant anti-Semitic. But they wrote anti-semantic, which I think is a genius new word with magical powers.

In an argument:

A: You're just arguing semantics.
B: Are you anti-semantic? (And as being labelled anti-Semitic seems to be the worst label one could possibly have that may even be career ending, who wants to be labeled anything that sounds remotely like anti-Semitic?)

I think I'll have a stab at using the new word:

Politician: It is highly unlikely that anything will emerge from the MEF in terms of detailed programmatic specificity.
Interviewer: Now you're just being anti-semantic.

Overread on facebook:


So here's the game: Who can come up with the best anti-semantic comment?

Ready.....Go!

Interesting you should ask that today, as today is the very day we axed that fee.

No. And it works successfully now 99.9% of the time. This has happened maybe 3 times over the last few weeks, and I've just got a new address from the customer and sent successfully (so it's not really a problem, just a mystery).


Hmmm... I tried this. Nothing showed up in notepad, and the same error occurred when I repasted from notepad.

Here's the latest address it happened with if anyone else wants to donate satoshis to the mystery:

I've had a strange occurrence with customers a few times and I'm wondering if it's a known issue.

The situation goes like this: When I paste the bitcoin receiving address into the "Pay to" field on my (official Satoshi) bitcoin client, a different bitcoin address populates the "Label" field. When I click "Send" the address in the "Pay to" field turns red, and no send occurs.

I have then tested sending 0.01 to the address in the "Label" field and found that it was a valid bitcoin address, but I have yet to hear back from any customers whether they have received this test bitcent or not (I have checked blockchain.info and it does appear in the blockchain).

Is this a known issue? What's going on here? Just wondering, as it's quite the mystery to me.

Hi there! Go to https://spendbitcoins.com for a secure connection. The whole site will be loading there within the next few days.

Thanks for the feedback!

Firstly, the margins aren't as high as they might seem. They account for our own wire fees/forex fees and of course a bit of profit.

Secondly, yes, for people for whom the highest priority is price, the regular exchanges are the better option. You will find better prices at the exchanges, so if that is your main priority, you are better off using one of the exchanges. On the other hand, if promptness, service &/or anonymity are your priorities, we believe you’ll be happiest with our service. But don’t take our word for it, have a look at our testimonials.
