Following today’s announcement, consumers and small business owners are able to purchase all items on Dell.com using bitcoin. To promote the news, the company is offering a 10% discount on all Alienware-brand products to bitcoin buyers. From http://www.coindesk.com/computer-giant-dell-now-accepts-bitcoin/Almost makes me want to get a new one... too bad the old one was so good, it really is hard for quality products to compete with Crap you just replace every other year. Isn't Dell one of the companies whose products come with NSA-sponsored malware? That Alienware deal is a plot to steal your coins! Seriously though - selling compromised computers to people known to own bitcoins is an attack vector somebody is going to try sooner or later. |

Ah that would be buzzkill but your right that would really be one of those attack vectors where you get up to your neck in trouble without even realizing that your going into the slaughter. http://rt.com/usa/dell-appelbaum-30c3-apology-027/Anyways your right but let the price rise a bit we all got tired of 630 XD (BTW whats up with chartbuddys images not loading ?) |

3 ~ BTC500 walls on Huobi now First 2 were eaten. (They appeared at ~3840 then moved to ~3870, got eaten, then replaced at ~3840, moved to ~3870, got eaten.. repeat) So, thats a good chunk of selling pressure gone on Huobi if we assume this is a single entity eating up lots of coins to hold* rather than sell for a 1% profit like most Chinese traders seem to do. *2% gains likely. lol EDIT: BOOM!!!!  ps i know this is USD observer, but really, if China goes nuts the US will follow. Not a single trade on stamp in 8 min now though. |

Have the Winklevoss twins ever publicized the address where they are storing their vast number of coins?

Dell might be accepting BTC on their US sites, but for the rest of the world it's still dirty old fiat... Inspired by the news I jumped onto alienware.com.au and scoured their site for any mention of BTC payment acceptance. Nothing. Opened a chat window with one of their staff. "Unfortunately Dell Australia is not accepting Bitcoin payments at this time. Maybe in the future." Lame...  |

Believe it or not it's now cheaper to buy via coin base than with cc... if you have a fully verified coin base account that is. SO GET SPENDING. Even if you pay USD go USD to BTC to buy... it's actually cheaper that way. |

How do you send USD to Coinbase/exchange/Bitpay/whatever, and what do they send to Dell -- USD, or BTC? If USD, how do they send it? |

Dell's Bitcoin wallet is on Coinbase. If you pay with BTC in a Coinbase wallet, you avoid the transaction fee. This implies the transaction is off-blockchain when the payer and payee are both using Coinbase. Otherwise, you pay the standard Bitcoin transaction fee for BTC payments coming from non-Coinbase wallets.

I don't think news is gonna do it. All the western exchanges are following China like white on rice. So until China makes a decisive move either way, we're stuck in this slow sideways void.... |
