Good idea! This may very well be the first time I purchase anything on "black Friday" in ~12 years I've been in North America. One concern is the credibility of all merchants you let participate. Given tne irreversibility of bitcoin payments, it would be a PR disaster to let a scammer or an incompetent merchant sneak through and ruin somebody's first-ever Bitcoin experience. This is why I liked MtGox's "trusted merchant" idea, although í don't how well it's implemented. Anyway, please screen carefully whom you advertise on this Web page.
Also, we need more buzz in the media about this campaign, with links to easy-to-start wallets. How would you get a curious newbie to get and spend bitcoins in a few days?

Make me a page! Also, I'm screening them myself, I've disallowed a couple sites due to quality issues... But I won't take responsibility for all merchants, if you have any doubts, feel free to ask about them! |

Great, but can you suggest specific sequence of steps I should recommend a btc-curious person to take, so they can acquire and then spend coins within a day or two? To me this is still a sticking point: too many possibillities, endless combinations, most of them half-baked or too intimidating for an average person. |

I hope this highlights the difficulty of using Bitcoin and how it needs to change! I'm really stressing that merchants with a physical presence host a "Bitcoin Party" to sell bitcoins for cash and teach consumers how to use clients. That's ideally the easiest way to buy coins on the day of. Cheers, -Jon |

I will get Whiskey Dicks in Orlando to do a happy hour special on Friday after work, and I'll be there to educate and sell bitcoins. I always help people install a wallet on their phone when I'm there. |

Anyone need a concealment holster? I'll be putting up some holsters that I'll be liquidating on Bitcoin Friday. It was a deal gone bad for me, but the timing was perfect to help out the bitcoin economy. More details coming when I get them up on the site.

Thanks Coinabul for putting this together! Any update on what bitcoin special you are going to run? It looks like we are going to offer 20% off all our items. This will hopefully get some new future customers and a way of saying thanks to the repeat customers. We will post on our thread tomorrow night. Anyone need a concealment holster?

More details coming when I get them up on the site.
I might be interested in a concealment holster for a Sig 226 and a 228. What I really need right now is something like an Uncle Mike's Kydex Belt holster for two FMK 9C1's and the 226. Got anything like that? |

I intend to spend some coins at privateinternetaccess.com. |
Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.
