https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/do-they-accept-bitcoin/

This is a simple and unobtrusive Chrome and Firefox extension that lets you know when the website you are on accepts Bitcoin. It also features a "stumble" button that takes you to a random Bitcoin-accepting site, providing a convenient way for you to explore the Bitcoin world.

It currently works by scraping http://www.reddit.com/r/btcbase?limit=100, http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade and http://www.bitcointrading.com/forum/spend-bitcoins/online-stores-accepting-bitcoins/ to generate a list of Bitcoin-accepting websites. The list is accessible at http://216.155.145.197/acceptbitcoin.txt. If you see the app showing an incorrect result for any site, it includes a built-in feature for submitting corrections, which I then add to or remove from the list.

The code is open source at https://github.com/vbuterin/dotheyacceptbitcoin

Donations welcome at 1V1tALUeAuCLqvJR3TiF2uXFrdFGNdTPN , and if you want to contact me privately about anything I'm reachable at vbuterin@gmail.com.

Argumentum ad lunam: the fallacy that because Bitcoin's price is rising really fast the currency must be a speculative bubble and/or Ponzi scheme.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.
