www.okpay.com offers it.
I'm sure they are the first of many others that will offer similar services soon.

Thank you Bitinstant!

These new features will be loved by your users.
Especially the cash deposits.

What kind of IDs will be required for this?

The Bitcoin community needs more businesses like you!

I just read a bit more about how your site works.

I suspect you would get WAAAAY more users if you offered a way to redeem credits back into Bitcoins.

If you can offer something like that, I will post a whole bunch more brand new popular electronics gear.

I just managed to register with my "very week"  40+ character password.

It is my first time posting a penny auction,  can you guys give me any advice?

It is currently set at 48 Hours,  and 1 Credit to bid....

National radio show on 100+ stations with around 100,000 listeners.

1.5 hour long interview,  condensed version:

Thank you all for the kind words.

I'm only advocating what I genuinely believe in.

I think Bitcoins will make the world a better place.

I'm trying to register,  but your registration form wont let me register because the password I am trying to use: "WxbdnoZ-E^n]wRmz%'zmj.VQrK/9:Z,M"

is too weak.


I'm pretty sure that password is decently strong.

Please fix it so I can register for your site.

The banner will be up there for as long as I keep paying.  I suspect this will be years and years.


To Spendbitcoins.com, bitbrew.net, and others,  I'm sorry I did not have a chance to plug you.
I tried to plug as many things as I could,  but it is hard to remember everyone durring a fast paced interview.

I think a good next step for everyone is to visit www.freetalklive.com, take a look at their sponsors on the right hand side of the page,  see if any of them have something you want to buy,  and contact them to see if they will accept Bitcoins as payment.
If they agree,  please be sure to actually purchase the item from them.  This is a great way to get more shops to accept Bitcoin.


I really want the 50 caliber air-gun their sponsor sells!

Can someone please fix this?
I'm happy to donate as well.

The full interview is now online at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZAFGRrp_kc

It was heard live by around 100,000 people.

I would not have had the knowledge to give this interview if it wasn't for all the great users on this forum.
Thank you all for your help!

Bitcoins are going to change the world!

The host of the show told me that likely, around 100,000 people heard the show!

I will be posting the interview on youtube shortly.

Any reasonable size for that page should be fine.

I will wait a bit longer to see if there are any more banner submissions,  before I ask them to change it.

Thanks so much for the help!

I will post the whole thing on youtube shortly.
For those who heard it,   how did it go?


Also,  if someone can make a banner for weusecoins.org

I will change the Memory Dealers banner on this page to the Bitcoin banner.

Show is starting now on www.freetalklive.com

There is a link to stream the show live.

Everyone,

Thank you for your input.

For those concerned about the illegal aspects of Bitcoin,  I they will surely come up durring the interview.
The main host openly admits that he refuses to pay federal income taxes because he doesn't support the things the federal government does.
He spoke of the silk road way back in 2010 as the potential "killer app" for bitcoins.

I understand that many people have very different political views,  but please keep in mind that the majority of the listeners to this radio show
think:

1.Taxation is the moral equivalent of theft.
2. The draft is the moral equivalent of kidnapping and slavery.
3. The government is the most successful organized criminal gang in a particular area.
4. Because of the first three items,  they want nothing to do with the state.

I understand that most people do not agree with the above,  but because most listeners of this show do,  I think they will be interested in my original points.
If I was going on the Oprah Winfrey show,  I should certainly use a different list of talking points.

I will continue to monitor this thread for about the next 10 hours.
I will post the interview on youtube as soon as it is available.

Thank you all for your advice.
I am taking all of it into consideration.

"They" is referring to Bitcoins themselves.

On Saturday Nov 19th 2011,  at 7PM Eastern,
I will be interviewed about Bitcoin on www.freetalklive.com

It will air on more than 100 radio stations across the USA.
Station list here: http://www.freetalklive.com/affiliates

The show's audience is mainly libertarian, voluntarist, anti-war,  free market advocate types,  so I will need to emphasize the aspects of bitcoin that will appeal to them the most.

My current list of talking points for this group is:

1.  They allow anyone to have a "bank" account that CAN NOT be seized by the IRS.
2. If you are careful,  the IRS can't even know how much money you have in your account,  or that you even have an account at all!
3. They allow you to do business with whoever you want,  anywhere in the world, with complete privacy.
4. No one can block or seize your payments,  in fact,  you can even make your payments secret from everyone else in the world.
5. If you set it up properly,  no one can even track how much money you have earned, so potentially, you could report as much, or as little of it as you choose.
6. Bitcoins can not be counterfeited or inflated.  
7. They will end the government's control of the money supply.

In effect,  they will make paying most taxes voluntary. (in fact,  not necessarily in law)
If most taxes are voluntary,  and the money supply can not be inflated,  the government won't be able to fund its wars. (and other stupid things)
I suspect wars will be greatly reduced, if not eliminated if a Bitcoin like currency becomes used world wide..


The reasons it should be adopted by businesses are:

1.  There are no 3rd party fees.
2. There are no chargebacks or fraudulent orders.
3. There is no risk of identity theft.
4. Payments can not be blocked or controlled.
5. It can be used world wide,  with no need for currency exchange.
6. Anyone can accept Bitcoin payments in a matter of minutes.
7.  As a business owner, I know how incredibly happy I would be if all my customers paid with a form of money with the above properties.

Neat things you can do with Bitcoins:

Get a prepaid Mastercard that can be reloaded with Bitcoins any time through OKPAY.COM
Donate to Wikileaks.
Play poker online for money despite the government's prohibition.
Buy other prohibited items online.  (Silkroad etc)

Please let me know what other things I should mention durring the interview.
What do you think I should say to catch people's attention?

Any input, thoughts, criticism, or other ideas are welcome.

I just sent the following email:

Hello,

I was looking at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising

and I would like to make a $1,000.00 donation via Bitcoins.
I'm sure lots of other people all around the world are also interested in donating via bit coins.

Tony at www.Bit-Pay.com can set everything up for you so that people can donate via bit coins,  and you can receive a wire for USD in your Bank account the very next day after each bit coin donation.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if there is anything else I can do to help,


$1,000 isn't a huge amount of money,  but hopefully it is enough to make them at least consider it.

You are an inspiration to young people and adults around the world!

We need more free market advocates like yourself!
