Hello all.
I've been lurking these forums for about a month now, just reading other people's reactions to things, and now that I have a handle on how to mine, how to exchange bitcoins, how the blockchain works, etc, I've convinced an entrepreneurial friend of mine to accept bitcoin on his website. I am trying to get the API for Paysius working, and so I finally broke down and registered here. Hopefully I can get some information on it, because Bit-Pay requires a TAX-ID to sign up, which would be great for my friend, but I want everything set up and working before I hand it over to him and don't want to go through the hassle of getting my own TAX ID. I will if Paysius doesn't pan out, but damn.
Anyways, I'm loving the bitcoin community. Perfect mesh of economics, IT and libertarianism. Fits me like a glove.
Although I was on the early cypherpunks mailing list and have been interested in the general concept of digital cash for some time, what actually got me into Bitcoin finally was that Bitcoin poker sites like Seals are about the only ones to allow U.S. players.
I suspect that will stop eventually if the traffic becomes profitable enough.
That the currency allows other potentially interesting uses is just a side bonus, although it may become the main attraction for me eventually.
