Wikipedia is definitely the main target. Shouldn't be that hard if we spammed them with donations. Say 200 members at $5 each, that's $1,000 and 200 separate messages saying you can take your donation via btc. Not sure what kind of support they have in place for donations. Could even make it $1,000 in a wallet and say that there will be recurring donations if they take on bitcoin as a payment method.

Maybe Amazon Coins?
I can't imagine that Amazon would name their coins Amazon Coins without being fully aware that these are going to be seen as similar in people's minds. Whether they're exploiting Bitcoin or non-committally lending their name to validate Bitcoin just by using the word "coins", I don't care, because there will be a two-way synergy that benefits both.
If Bitcoin is already on their mind, I can't see why they would be opposed to letting people buy Kindle apps and e-books with it (e-books which, of course, can be read on other things than just Kindle).
Donating to Wikipedia is one thing, but not everybody cares about donating to Wikipedia. Being able to buy books has FAR more reaching appeal!
|
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

Oh trust me they don't need bitcoin. Italy gives them over a billion of euro each year, plus tons of benefits etcetcetc. In the grand scheme, no one really needs bitcoin, but it would be cool to get the Holy Father's blessing or even condemnation of it... The euro is likely to crash, and Italy is unlikely to have the ability to shower the Vatican with cash and benefits much longer... I am sure the pope's bean counters know this. So, it would be interesting to hear the Vatican's view on Bitcoin. Maybe if all the Catholics on this forum tweeted the hell out of them about it...

I think bitconstore, if it starts to gain traction, can put pricing pressure on the Neweggs and Tigerdirects of this world. Pricing pressure that they will only be able to relieve by also offering a discounted BTC payment option.
Market segments with low margins and cutthroat competition, where a 1% difference can make or break a sale, are prime candidates for a kind of "BTC domino effect" once a first vendor offers a BTC option. Aside from electronics, rental cars, airlines, cruises, and hotels could be other examples of such segments ready to be bitcoined.

This! We don't need to ask for amazon or ebay to trust bitcoin.. they won't. We need to show them competition, like our amazon killer ( bitcoinstore.com ) and our ebay killer ( bitmit.net ). And then services like alibaba, dx, will follow...

Relatively speaking, SomaFM is probably a small target, but I figure any traction is good traction and their 'indie' status and approach may generate some interest. Then again...maybe not.

I checked out the huge, infamous Something Awful bitcoin thread and it struck me again that the most comfortable way SA goons (as they're called) can relate to anything is by taking the piss out of it. The purpose is comic gold first, truth second. That aspect of goon culture introduces a systemic bias against anything that is too new or different.
In the thread, I noticed people making major, obvious errors about Bitcoin and other things - errors that would be corrected in almost any other forum, especially the non-Bitcoin ones - yet no one corrected them. Again their primary purpose is to take the piss, and if a caricature is more funny to talk about they'll work with the caricature. They live and breathe on comic gold. Some of them even check these forums looking for gushing statements to poke fun at. It's actually kind of a nice reality check to temper the enthusiasm that can sometimes get out of hand here.
Therefore, I think SA will only support Bitcoin when it becomes funnier to make fun of Bitcoin's detractors, rather than just its supporters. Either that or when Lowtax figures out he can make money by offering premium memberships in bitcoin. Since reddit and 4chan - the closest thing SA has to siblings - already both accept it, it may be just a matter of time.

Hey all, I have been exploring bitcoin for a few months (and lurking here) a while. On reddit, I started a grassroots effort to make it easier for people to quickly email and contact organizations that we would like to see accepting bitcoin. Here is the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArZ3BWIAbHXndFdrdEc0VlhoODZYdlNGTFdZdEFJM1E&usp=sharing#gid=0 It's not 100% complete but the main thing is providing a quick way to contact the organizations. If you do so, please be polite and stress the benefits of accepting bitcoin. Don't simply say "ZOMG it has quintupled in value, accept it now!!!" I think the best approach is a calm, rational approach. If a competitor has begun accepting it (e.g. camwither.com), tell them that. They will be more receptive to adopting it if someone else has first. If any of you want me to add any, just pm me here, on reddit, or email at pikeadz@gmail.comThanks!!!

Since reddit and 4chan - the closest thing SA has to siblings - already both accept it, it may be just a matter of time.
SA was in their heyday (vis-a-vis Bitcoin) around the time they outed Bruce as a degenerate scamming fuckhead. They were both very funny and providing a well needed service to the Bitcoin community back in those days. Since then the amusing goons have mostly wandered off and there are like 400 pages on the new thread re-hashing about 4 tired and not terribly amusing themes. To this day the SA forum is a good way to pick up on absurd threads on this forum since a number of SA goons seem to have little better to do than to scan bitcointalk.org more thoroughly than I. But even here one needs to go through like 10 pages of boring stuff to find a gem. I actually believe that I might have talked the most comically talented goon into plunking some money into BTC at around $3.00. I hope so because he'd be up nearly 1000% and his work was worth it. He shut up not long after that which is why I am hopeful that he was bright enough to have realized that it was worth a speculative bet.

Is there a clear and concise form letter floating around bitcointalk or elsewhere that extolls the benefits received by businesses if they were to implement BTC? If not perhaps we can put one together.
Key advantages... 1. No chargebacks 2. lower fees vs Visa/PP etc. 3. bitcoin volatility fears can now easily be allayed with Bitpay integration.

Bitcoin is the cats pajamas for merchants. It generally sucks for consumers though. For an example of this, look at the bASIC scam. e.g., who got their money back and who did not. Reasonably together people who used mainstream payment methods were made whole through chargebacks. Those who used Bitcoin will largely be sucking on it. It's the scammer's call. The fact that Bitcoin is a poor choice for consumers also detracts from it's value to businesses as customers may shy away from using it. If integrators start providing charge-back protection, they will have to suck the cost out of the userbase...just as do our current mainstream payment providers. Bitcoin is, in my opinion, mostly useful for revolving services (such as Mega) except that at some point smaller transactions will be indistinguishable from useless dust like SatoshiDice and will be impacted by whatever mechanism is emplaced to defend against such things.

Google Wallet and iTunes will definitely be the best additions to Bitcoin, because it will open the possibility for everyone, worldwide to pay for apps on their smartphone. Having to use a credit card for this purpose is a major barrier for many users, so the option to pay with bitcoins would actually solve something.

Having to use a credit card for this purpose is a major barrier for many users, so the option to pay with bitcoins would actually solve something.
iTunes accepting bitcoin is the same Visa or mastercard accepting bitcoin... stay away from apple

I'm asking my team to seriously consider supporting it (this is my first post out of Newbie Jail, btw). I'm new to Bitcoin, but have enjoyed this recent price increase (it was $17 when I found out about it). I've been talking with the great folks in #bitcoin and reading what time will allow here and on Reddit. Fascinating stuff. We run a shopping cart software as a service ( http://www.foxycart.com) who's primary focus is serving developers. The Bitcoin community seems to have a lot of developers. We're hoping, if we do support it on our platform, it could create some buzz, drive some traffic and actually get people using Bitcoins for every day commerce. We're not in the 10's of thousands of stores (yet), but we do have more than a couple thousand using our system and, according to these guys, we're #8 out of 177 this month for fastest growing ecommerce technologies: http://trends.builtwith.com/shop/growthIf we can help move the needle a little bit and get every-day merchants thinking about Bitcoin, that's a win for everyone. So please keep an eye out for us and give us some love if we do launch Bitcoin support. Our first tiptoe in the water may involve bitpay support and who knows about the future. Side note: Thanks for being such an intelligent community. I like the "newbie jail" idea and I've been pleasantly impressed with the rational thought talking place here. Then again, maybe I just haven't been around long enough.

Or 'sink beneath'. I suggest that anyone who is serious and dedicated and may have some skilz focus mainly on the dev forums, but jack-offs poke there heads in there from time to time as well. I am lazy and more comfortable among the flotsam and jetsam and more typical plonkers of the community.

OP updated. Wow! Thanks! This should definitely get our team excited about adding support. Talking this over with my business partner, we did have some legal / liability concerns which I posted about here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=146164.msg1551802#msg1551802Feel free to add some thoughts in there as well. The answers so far have been pretty good. Seriously, this just made my day. Definitely cool to see this kind of support.

Linode (Hope it's not still too much of a sore point for them)!
For really big traction, Flickr would be a good candidate. Yahoo need the money and Flickr is more 'out there' than the rest of Yahoo.

What about other currency exchange sites like http://www.xe.comand http://www.transferwise.comA lot of bitcoiners already use these sites to deposit into exchanges and buy BTC. Wouldn't it be great if these sites themselves could exchange for BTC?

Which is why the Bitcoin community needs to push for XBT as a quasi-official code so that SIX standards are forced to accept it because the mainstream banking system has adopted it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148229.0BTC is fine for unofficial use. There is a majority which accepts the need for an X-code: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149150.0
