They got frigged yesterday, a bunch of wallets compromised.  They also said they are reimbursing missing coins. Check reddit someone posted a list of effected addresses.

Absolutely.  As cryptocurrencies show their potential we might see an integration, but I don't think the dollar is going anywhere for a while.

The way he talks about Bitcoin technology is really encouraging, always like watching him talk on podcasts and publicly, feel like I learn something new every time.  Glad he's the first Bitcoin encounter for a lot of people so they don't go into it blind of it's complete potential.

Great discussions between two awesome people Joe and Andreas  !

Hey there! I have not gotten a chance to filter countries for international function, but here's a bit of a list of merchant checkout providers - http://yocrypto.ca/category/crypto-currency-merchant-payment-solutions/bitcoin-point-of-sale-checkout/ Hope this helps, best of luck with your search!



On second thought, Coinpayments should work I think.

Hey! Found some merchants around Indonesia using http://bitwyre.com/! Best of luck with everything!

LOL. I thought it was kinda funny asking for a dollar. Then I realized I don;t even have a dollar to send. Now that my friend is funny. Hope you find your dollar!

I am a bit late for the holidays but it's here   Just got the site up a day ago!

Bit Benefits - a coupon, deal, discount directory for merchants to list their deals and show consumers that shopping with Bitcoin is better.

Listings are free, come share your discounts and I will do what I can to connect your brand with customers!

Happy holiday business everyone!

Good to know! I hate when bitcoin is accepted by sub par businesses.   They should be in here taking notes.

Gez, quite bar reviews in here, glad i haven't gone with them.  What issues did you have?

I think there is one...and one only.  Cash. And that would be a shit ton of it, not to mention transporting it to the destination.. security... nevermind.

Yeah, a person loses to much time and money if you were to follow ALL of the scams circulating unfortunately. Although if what I recall is correct, BFL is running a sham, not sure how they're in operation still unless someone took over?

Hey Bitcoin,

After a few surveys and poking around the community (+ a little unemployment....vacation  ), i think there's a large portion of us that are still not Bitcoin Consumers per sey, shop with Bitcoin, or have found enough value to use Bitcoin for daily shopping purposes.  

Happy to share with you today a new project, Bit Benefits.  A service to connect Bitcoin holders with value, and a place with plenty of reason to use Bitcoin for purchases instead of traditional payments.

Basically, a discount place for businesses to connect with Bitcoin consumers that is easy to navigate by type retail or website, and categorically.  In order to achieve this the posts are separated:

Offer Type
“Item Discounts”
“Service Discounts”
“Store-wide Discounts”
“Special Offers”
“Shipping Deals”

Category
Categorized with subcategories which I am working on at the moment. They are definitely not 100% complete, but I am hoping to hear from the community what can be added (Hard to cover areas you’re not familiar with!)

Type of Purchase
-Retail (Print coupons)
-Ecommerce (Coupon Codes)
-Other… not sure, but you never know.

-Will be adding location based searches in the near future when there is enough retail locations up, but for now, the browse and all of the search pages with a coupon showing it's location has a toggle MAP button, which pops up a big Google Maps widget to show retail locations!

---

Each free listing includes
Free listings!

30 Day listing in 1 category
3 Uploads
Visitor counter so you can monitor how many people have seen it
Google Maps listing if you need it


Also, the front page will hold things such as “Editors picks” and Seasonal features, “Boxing Week” which will put your free add on the front page.

-At the moment “STORES” are manually inputted, and will be added as Brands and Stores pop up with multiple coupons.  Members will get a store made right away.

-Multiple free listings are NOT ALLOWED! They ARE ENCOURAGED!  Share your discounts! If you’re giving 10% off and free shipping with bitcoin purchases, make 2 listings, one for the 10% off, one for the free shipping!  This is not spam, it’s easier for people to find your discounts.

-ALL listings are 30 days. Why? This is the easiest way to ensure a steady stream of unique content.  The option is available at the end of your listing to “renew” as well.

-Visitors using the service can sign up for automatic category updates.  When a coupon is uploaded, they will receive an email, it’s pretty cool!


Short term plans -
-weekly blog
-make pop out coupons nicer
-Bi-weekly newsletter
-Improve navigation in categories and on posts
-Timed auctions
-Limited edition Coupons
-In house deals for members using discounts
-rewards for people posting good crypto deals that are valid[/li][/list]



That’s all for now! I really hope everyone finds use in the site.  This is the trial period but it would be cool to see some deals and discounts up!  
All of the coupons currently running are examples will be expiring in the next 24 hours.

If you own a business, feel free to post a coupon right away, or if you happen to know of awesome coupons that are open to the public, feel free to post them up to share with the community.  

Feedback on ANYTHING and EVERYTHING  is greatly appreciated, I really want this to help bring consumers and merchants together, anything that can be fixed will be taken into account right meow! It's my job to make sure people are visiting the site and using these coupons, submit your listing and let me take care of your marketing.

Ahhh, I see, haha thanks for the laugh.  Is Butterfly Labs still operational? Seems like quite the shady operation, I haven't really seen any specifics other than they defaulted over half of the orders?
