If I understand correctly they could accomplish this rather easily if they wanted, just have bitpay handle the btc transactions and hand dropbox the fiat $$$. Everyone is happy?
I don't see this as a real long-term solution. The better option would be to accept Bitcoins as they are. It's a good compromise, but nothing more. From a business perspective I see this as a low risk way to get to the native acceptance. Yes they could probably do their own e-commerce thing to accept it, but I would be willing to be the investment to do that is much much higher then adding another 'merchant account' to the existing solution. Then later on one can evaluate if it makes business sense to remove that merchant and go 'native'. I agree with you on this. What I am afraid of is that if Bitpay fails down the road they would take a lot of confidence of the bitcoin with them in the grave. We need more native acceptance in the long run, a single point of failure is never a good idea. |

I don't think imminent, but very possible. Let's hope!

I seriously wonder how dropbox will react. They can't possibly ignore this vote . |

If I wanted to manipulate the price, looking for feature requests on products like Dropbox and then promoting them in Bitcoin communities/forums would be a good way to go about it... |

About 2 accounts per user that voted

Given that really only one in 20 Might actually pay....
You think that they will even consider calling a lawyer
to figure out the legal for "mear" 420 new paying customers?
Since it make good press.... I think they will

don't let me make you question your assumptions

Your estimation seems correct, yet one thing I don't understand is this: About 2 accounts per user that voted Do you assume everyone has multiple accounts? I think most of them actually only have one. Also some people might have forgotten about the 6 votes, making an average of 5 votes per user more logical. |

Yep... why the hell would you want 2 different dropbox accounts? You can restrict syncing to certain folders if you don't want to sync everything on every device. |
