"give away around 0.1BTC per sale of each T-Shirt"
How much are you going to charge for these shirts?
0.1BTC is around $13 or £8 at today's rate.

I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with Satoshi.
What would his return achieve? Nothing!
What disadvantage could there be to his return right now? Well, he might commit suicide and his body be found with two bullets at the back of his head. Or you know he could be charged with rape based on the accusations of some ex cia pretending to be a bitcoin enthusiast who changes her mind about having sex a week later.
Leave the guy alone for the time being. If he is absolutely needed - unless he is dead - I am sure he will provide help one way or another. Until then, no point of him to show up just for 100000 posts of thank you and you are my hero etc. He knows all that.
People should be obsessed by Satoshi. If Bitcoin is, as looks likely going to change the world of banking and economics and possibly how governments are run, what if the bitcoin code was developed by a government agency? I find this scenario more likely given the way the financial institutions of the West, Fed/BOE/ECB/IMF seem hell bent on an economic apocalypse. |

Not any more, currently there is no way to add funds from UK on blockchain.info. |

Brilliant lol, it added $243 to his cash account as well  No doubt some people will fall for it and get their wallets cleaned out. |

" Should Peter Vessenes resign as the Executive Director for Bitcoin Foundation ?"
Perhaps you should give it it's proper name. The Bitcoin Foundation has been voluntarily dissolved according to .gov records and the new entity is called "THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC. DBA THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION"

Governments cant regulate mathematics, which is the basis of bitcoin. Its like trying to regulate gravity.
Try flying a hot air balloon over the White House.  |

To be honest I think the TransferWise pushing is partly due to the affiliate program lol. Regardless it is one of the very few options available s...o  . It does kind of negate the whole instantly sending coins when it can take days just to get the BTC into an account. Whoever does find a way around this could dominate the UK market, I don't really believe the UK citizens trust their government. At least all the people I know hate every banker/politician and would rather those corrupt officials got sent to the highest volcano peak and asked politely to jump of the edge.+100 |

I totally understand where you are coming from, UK is rip off when it comes to bitcoin. I have looked into all the methods posted here, as op stated Localbitcoins and Bitbargain seem rather expensive, one guy is advertising to buy at £40 on one site and is selling at £100 on the other. Extortionate UK bank charges for international transfers make the big exchanges nonviable for someone just wanting one or two coins to get into the system, BitcoinFridge seems to have died, I put in a buy request and have had no response and other methods take at least 48 hours, which is unrealistic when prices can move by as much as £20 in an hour.
There must be many more people like the op and myself here in UK who are frustrated at the situation here, especially when you consider that for example I bought a laptop battery from Hong Kong on ebay, paid by paypal and received it within 3 days and yes I understand the problems re paypal chargebacks.
It seems the rest of the world doesn't trust the British banking system, can't say I blame em with George Osborne in charge.
No its just UK banks charge extortionate fees for international and even just EU intra-SEPA transfers for UK personal accounts. You can tho use TransferWise to get money into Bitstamp or MtGox for just £1 but I'm not sure if it works the same for withdrawals. I keep seeing people trying to push TransferWise but like I said before 48 hours is too long to make a translation with the current volatility of Bitcoin. I don't have to go to the newsagents to buy meat tokens so I can then go to the butchers to buy some sausages so I don't want to be changing my currency through third party sites to make a purchase of Bitcoin. |

Brilliant site, love it |

I find much better to use transferwise.. there are no fees and you will be buying from an exchange.. check my signature  Thanks for that but with prices changing so quick, 48 hours is too long. I wanted to buy when it was around £36 now it's at £70  |

Many thanks, wallet created, now I just need to get some Ripples lol.

I am looking into Ripple because the exchange rate looks more stabile than Bitcoin. I registered but how can I get Ripples? It seems that in order to buy Ripples you need at least a certain amount of Ripples but I don't have any Ripples because I just started out. There is a link in my Ripples wallet to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145506 but I don't seem to be eligible for this. How did you get a Ripple wallet? I have been looking into Ripple and can't find wallets anywhere. |

Been waiting all day for an email reply to my buy request and seen the price double  , guess they ran out of coins. |

Try a search like this "bitcoin site:godlikeproductions.com" , no conspiracy.

You think it's hard trying to buy with US $, you want to try living in UK and buying BTC, sellers with UK banking options are as rare as hen's teeth.

I had same thing, mined on P2pool and wanted to move 1.3 ltc to another wallet but having to pay .9 makes it pointless mining.
