Zurker Now Accepts Bitcoin


Zurker is pleased to announce that we now accept Bitcoin payments for credit purchases.

Bitcoin is a decentralized currency which governments have no control over. It is private and secure, and cannot be frozen or limited. Bitcoin is becoming more and more mainstream, with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of transaction occurring annually. If you don't have a Bitcoin wallet, you should get one now.

Several startups are facilitating Bitcoin transactions. We are currently using Coinbase.

If you don't know what Bitcoin is, here's an introductory video, and here's a great article, and here's the Wikipedia entry.

To purchase vShares using Bitcoin, just head on over to the payment page and select "Bitcoin" instead of "PayPal" when checking out.

Well, not facebook (yet?), but it's something!

Great "social network". They're so insignificant not even Wikipedia has ever heard of them.

got the news as well, signed up a long time ago, but never really used it.

it's not decentralized, but it claims it's owned by its users, and you can buy "vShares" of it. Doubt though that their growth will keep up with Bitcoin's

Is this pretty much BTCJam except with more social network stuff?

[franky1]

its a pyramid disguised as social networking.

check out zurker.co.uk

crowd funding.,,,
cant get in without an invite....
average investment size $40.....

"28,966 members have earned a stake in Zurker either by referring their friends.."

see the pattern you put money in so the person who invited you gets his referer bonus... then you get paid by refering more people...

in the end someone loses. and the guy at the top closes his doors..

and for that... i'm not gonna sign up....

Bullcrap social network. Dont care what they accept. They use the same advertising that Draugiem.lv used when they started. Draugiem owner told that there will be no advertisements on portal ever. Now draugiem is unusable without Adblock Plus. And the censorship and deletion of groups used by political organisations, mutual cooperation with secret service and so on.

We really need antisocial networking. Anonymous, untraceable, uncontrollable. Freenet have various implementations of this idea but for security conscious internet users complete abstaining from social networking is norm (except when used for researching, spreading and social engineering). This my forum profile here is as social and anti-anonymous as it gets for me.
