Has anybody here purchased anything off of tigerdirect.com with Bitcoin?

I might be due for a new laptop one of these days...

Edit: here's a relatively recent article about them https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/18-months-adopting-bitcoin-tigerdirect-reports-fantastic-experience-continued-growth-1438985840

I bought a laptop from Amazon via Purse.io, got 10% off. Might want to check to see if the laptop you're buying is available there as well.

What laptop did you bought and how much did you pay for it?

Anyway, looks like we are going to reach 400 soon enough because the price is currently at
$381 @ bitfinex 
Let's take a good nighty night sleep with a glass of warm milk and when we woke up may the price reach what we wanted to be

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Original price was $1800, Amazon discounted it to $1400. I got it for just over $1200.

That's a bargain man, almost stolen I would say! Nice for you.

380$ looking good. All prices are starting to be greener and greener which is good: where this can lead? A steady but regular rise to 500$ does not seem a dream now. We can go there easily if volumes keep this pace. That would make a nice Christmas

More support for jstolfi on /r/btc than on his native board?

Well, I tried to post only serious stuff to /r/btc .  Perhaps I am a better bitcoiner than buttcoiner after all... 

Or perhaps, in those filtered and pasteurized forums, they feel the lack of a villain to shoot at...

what did jorge do to get a perma there? o.O

It was a 90 day ban.  I don't know why.  I asked the mods but did not get any answer. 

I only made two posts there yesterday, after being absent for ~2 months.  One critic of the 21co Computer, the other explaining the new RBF and criticizing the lack of a fixed queue policy. 

Maybe the ban had nothing to do with those posts.  Probably some of my old "enemies" there just reported me as a troll based on the whole of my "work".

Or perhaps Roger Ver, the owner of /r/btc, was pissed off about some not so nice things I wrote about him elsewhere (such as taking the side of OKCoin in the dispute over bitcoin.com).

Heavier than expected resistance at this level, especially at OKCoin.

PS. closed my long seconds before it broke down...

can anyone explain to me what this means to us average and noob bitcoiner ?
and what the chances that a nation will include bitcoin as portofolio in their reserves ?

Roger Ver created RBF I believe. Apparently he did not like criticisms of his new forum on his old forum.

From the AMA of Nejc Kodrič of Bitstamp

What are your thoughts on the whole bitcoin scaling debate?
We support BIP 101.

Will bitstamp follow most of the rest of the industry and switch to BIP 101 this December?
Yes.

Why can't I trade EUR at Bitstamp?
We are working on supporting multiple currencies. Cannot exactly tell you the release date. It is quite a bit change.

Here is my reading.  Buttcoiny, of course.

Funny... But I don't plan to short yet, maybe about 4 - 5 days from now, if this really runs out of steam.

sorry, but i dont see any logical and reasonable objection there ?

Roger Ver created RBF I believe. Apparently he did not like criticisms of his new forum on his old forum.

RBF is the replace-by-fee queue policy, that Peter Todd implemented and added to Core for the next release.  I don't think that Roger had anything to do with it.

With this change, a transaction that is still unconfirmed will be replaced in the queues by a later transaction that spends the same inputs (even to totally different outputs), if it pays a higher transaction fee.  Howeve the first transaction must have a tag saying that it can be replaced 9at least in this version of the patch).  

This feature is useful only when there is a backlog of unconfirmed transactions: it provides a way for the user to bump the fee on a stuck transaction, to increse its priority.  It also lets a user to cancel an incorrect trasnaction, if he notices the error and reacts before the bad transaction is confirmed.

The impact of this change on payment processors and merchants is not clear, but it is certainly not positive.

EDIT: corrected Freudian slip "cancer a transaction" to "cancel".

The report by those two analysts concludes that, if the Central Bank of Barbados had bought some bitcoin in 2009, it would have made a significant profit by now.  It then extrapolates the exponential growth of the past 6 years to decades in the future, with the obvious results. Based on that analysis, it advises the bank to buy some bitcoin.

their analysis sounds utterly logical and well reasoned.......   thing went up we should have bought it
presumably the usual disclaimers apply
