There was quite a lot of talk in the news about this "bits" adoption thing, but I'm not seeing many wallets actually using it.
Is there any consensus regarding using "bits" as a standard?
On topic: I like the proposed bit symbol a lot!

Hahah, this necro thread gave me a nice laugh! LOL, thanks!
2011, what a year!
BTW: do you miss Atlas? He was like a diamond compared to today's trolls! : )

Why is blockchain.info wallet developing its own merchant database? Wouldn't be easier (and faster) to integrate data from openstreetmap.org, like coinmap.org did?
Sooooo many merchants are missing in blockchain.info wallet.

Is Apple's big announcement going to have anything to do with Bitcoin?
Probably not. But whatever they announce tomorrow is not going to sound as huge because of today's announcement. That is only my wild guess, of course.

What a timing! I'm sure Braintree/Paypal put this info out today to !@#$% Apple's keynote tomorrow. GG!

This is great news! Time to buy more i guess : )

just he one stream right?
Yes, one to rule them all I own BTCradio.com thats what I wanted to do but the dev. ran away lol
Have you ever watched "Randy Pausch last lecture"? Brickwalls are there for a reason! : ) BTW: If you know any other cool free and "ad-free" radio, please let us know... we could try to worm them up for Bitcoin.

It's free, super cool 24/7 music, no ads, not a single spoken word... A lot of different genres... and the best part, I'm listening to this radio for few years now and music just doesn't start to repeat! http://bgdradio.netShow them some love! Note: I have no relationship with this radio in any way, i just love what they do. Few weeks ago I asked them about btc donations and they added the donation address recently.

Problems like this will be worked out over time, I'm sure.
In the meantime, make sure you have more than one wallet installed on your mobile in case situation like that happens. There should be a backup plan to impress your friends : )
Also, if you use blockchain.info wallet or similar wallet with central server behind... the hardware on their side may be down, so it's cool to have another standalone wallet that connects directly to bitcoin network - just in case.
Remember: it's still early. As much as I'd like bitcoin to go mainstream, i personally think it's not ready yet.

Speaking of the t-shirts, we'd like some feedback from you.
Congrats! I personally would prefer just a logo T-Shirt. BTW: are we going to be able to choose a size?

Yes. Click on the gearbox and export your private key. You should get your private key along with the brainwallet "phrase" used to generate it. Note that if you secured your wallet with a password, there will be an extra string following a "!". This is also part of your brainwallet string (I believe a sha256 hash of your password).
Hope that helps....
Thanks for the info, it works great! @rushwallet: are android and iOS versions planed too?

Is there a way to import password protected rushwallet string into some other online / offline wallet?
Or is there maybe a tool to get normal brainwallet string out of password protected rushwallet string?

Its a monumental failure is what it is. Good lucking trying to buy stuff on here while paying with BTC. Once payment is made, its gone. At least with Ebay/PayPal, we have buyer protection etc.
What? Not sure if you are being serious...

I got my invite and $10 also. But since i am not from US, linking bank account or credit card is not possible right now.
Interface is very nice, logical and simple to use. And i like an option to change mobile SMS 2FA to GA.

How many of you guys actually spend bitcoins for transactions? Sounds like all you guys care about is the price
I use Bitcoin on daily basis for all sorts of things and whenever i can. And i igree with you that there is too much focus on price. Also, whenever i introduce people to Bitcoin, first thing they care about or ask about (most of them) is possibility for further appreciation and what is the risk for Bitcoin to go down... it's quite annoying to be honest...

I honestly doubt that the thought of bitcoin being a "ponzi scheme" is the main reason adoption is so slow.
I personally find Bitcoin adoption to be extremely fast. I became a "Bitcoiner" in 2011 and since then things happened with astronomical speed. What Bitcoin has achieved in just few short years is breathtaking to me.
