the most likely scenario is that companies like Apple and facebook come up with a centralized virtual currency, that to the uninformed public, offers 99% of the advantages of bitcoin.

Companies like Apple and facebook wants to make lot of money, not create an ecosystem. As long as they're fixated on making their own walled garden with high fees, we have an advantage.

If we accumulate a coalition of companies into a Bitcoin army, then even apple and google can't stop us. Moreso, if any of the biggest tech company decides to join the army.

We need to become so attractive, that they rather join us than fight us.

Where the wallstreet journal article?

It's a startup currency that acquires startups!

Isn't curious that a community form around promoting some kind of money, which by then should be booooooooooooring no brainer? It's like forming a community around promoting a kind of concrete.

Service works, without a hitch.

Burning Man is very different from Porcfest in those two ways.

Probably a bad idea to setup an exchange at Burning Man due to possible bad publicity. It's lot easier to set it up at various physical libertarian gathering.

You buy into all that government fear mongering? Global warming fear mongering for the left, terrorism fear mongering for the right. Government growth for all!

I sense a DERAILMENT!

Not much yet, other than being a really interesting facet of my life.

It sold bitcoin: cascasciousimus (horrible name, btw) coins. I believe Roger refilled it at least 3 times.

My bad. Probably I misremember.

You left out the vending machine. Cheesy

Vending machine kinda sucks. It should able to accept bitcoin from a phone or something.

Did this guy talks to only yes-men when he started his project?

Stop discussing Satan! Angry

Let discuss bitcoin! Like, why didn't the bitinstant guy record a session? Next time, record some video!

bit-pay have over 600 merchants using it! That's what I am more interested in, not a company selling mining tools.

Some dude refer me to the site on some forum about open source gaming. I dismiss it as an agorist currency that can't possibly work.

That was after the first slashdot coverage. Then I eventually become convinced that it was useful. I was there before the bitcoin price reach 1 dollars. Grin

Thanks. I don't understand withdrawal process for international transfer and I am afraid. I am still afraid of paypal but thanks for letting me risk my money.

Given that Bitcoin transactions take a few hours how does someone pay for something like an ice cream that requires the payment up front before the goods are handed over?

Presumably, they accept at 0-confirmation.

How they accept bitcoin? Through a smartphone app?

So I talked to the manager at my local B&N store. He said that they don't care what magazines they carry (and indeed don't make those decisions either), because they lose money on every magazine. He said he wished the whole magazine section was just books.

Make sense, as I never actually see anybody buy a magazine.

49% of total reserve gone for MyBitcoin is corrected to 51% of total reserve gone for MyBitcoin based on en.bitcoin.it's article. However, I still have no idea where the number for the stolen bitcoin comes from. I saw it in the original list, but I do not see any citations.
