Had a couple back and forth emails with Tom a few months ago about bitcoins, the result of which was that he decided it was too confusing at the time.  Glad to see they were able to at least get him considering it again.

Good introductory article without any propaganda.

Brief mention of the Technology Review article (http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/38392/?p1=Mag_story1) on Kurzweil's site -- front page right now.

I think the podcast is a rehash but the story is on the front page of NPR.com right now.

He's been updating his silver channel pretty regularly so maybe he's just been busy with that.  I'd love to hear his take on recent events though.

A bit more technical exploring the forces at play in securing the block chain.

Interesting and well written.

Still a few left!

Following up on another thread, I've got some stickers you can use to spread the word of Bitcoin.  The QR code on these directs to www.bitcoin.org.

Stickers are 2"x2" and come in sheets of 16.  I can sell for the btc equivalent of 1usd per sheet +50cents shipping to anywhere in the US (shipping may vary if depending on the number of sheets ordered).  Have a custom bitcoin image you want printed as a 2"x2" sticker?  I can probably do that as well.  PM me if you're interested.

Thanks!

+1 for Viking -- paid promptly for a shogun code I was selling.

Correct.  Sorry for not making that clear. 

Ok I had a little time and the stuff to put this together:



Stickers are 2"x2" and come in sheets of 16.  I can sell a sheet for the btc equivalent of 1.50usd shipped to anywhere in the US.  I'll also take Mt. Gox, Dwolla, or nmc.  If you want one of the other versions I can probably make them too.  PM me if you're interested.

Thanks!

Thanks for the positive reviews!  Still have some left! 

Thanks to all that ordered -- still have a some left!

+1 to xGreg -- smooth transaction.

Still got some left!

Sorry Sold out!  I'll re-open if I get more.  Thanks to all who bought! 


I have a number of Shogun 2 Total War steam codes I'm looking to sell for 1.251btc each or best offer.  PM if you're interested.  

Please see my silver thread in my signature for reviews -- I'm a reliable seller.

Thanks!

I agree the tides are turning -- we need a Bitcoin PR person to do a podcast with Lew.  The idea of money having to arise out of a commodity is far more tenuous than the idea that money is anything the market wants it to be.  Clearly there are a growing number of people who believe Bitcoins are money and will continue to use it as such.

Edit: On a side note anyone know anyone over at www.zerohedge.com?  A good post by Tyler Durden would go a long way and seems like a natural fit . . .

Some good press on the LRC blog the other day.  He does a good job of refuting some common misconceptions of why Bitcoins aren't money.

Adoption costs can run into the tens of thousands of dollars.  That said anyone who wishes to donate should probably do their due diligence, and yes this thread probably does not belong on the main page.
