Bitcoin Black Friday - Let's spend those hoarded bitcoins!

[Melbustus]

I'm planning on doing most of my holiday shopping today with bitcoin.

Who's with me?

That's our plan too!  Now that "Gyft" cards are available for the hard-to-shop for people, I think I can do all my Christmas shopping with bitcoin!

Nice store!  I wish I knew about you guys before I bought my new iPhone 5s!  Next time...

gyft.com is offering 4 points per dollar on black friday, so 1 day deal only. i might make another order on coinbase and then trasfer it over there just for the hell of it. paying the exchange fee will probably negate any savings, but i don't mind.. it's just me helping move BTC around.

Looks good!

Im going to buy some stuff with my bitcoins!
hope you all do

Thanks Peter!

Can't wait to see what other deals are around. Any notable ones I should know about?

[Bees Brothers]

I'm planning on doing most of my holiday shopping today with bitcoin.

Who's with me?

We will be doing most of our Christmas shopping with bitcoin tomorrow.  We will be traveling with our new smartphones (paid with bitcion) trying to do our shopping and answering the Bees Brothers emails.

Never a dull moment with bitcoin!

Jon - please hire someone (serious here) to get the press involved in this.  Someone needs to gather the numbers for sales, or something, so that the press can write articles on this.  You're probably way ahead of me on this, but the press is writing about Bitcoin Black Friday - so they're going to go nuts if we can give them a dollar amount spent and number of merchants - maybe even number of purchases / people who participated.  This will be *huge* press for Bitcoin, and i would hire someone to contact every store that participated, and every press outlet possible (maybe put a notice on the website home page) ... to get the articles out there.

I realize this is short notice, but im hoping someone will consolidate this information on the sales and participants and help get the public aware of what went down!

Huge press opportunity for success of Bitcoin.  Very important!

Made my first purchase!  

Even though QT failed to generate a confirmation in less than the necessary 15 minutes..., and the shopping cart timed out.

[Mitchell]

And where does it say that LiteCoin can handle more transactions then Bitcoin? It doesn't matter that LiteCoin has "faster" transaction. It needs to have more confirmations then Bitcoin before it gets accepted.

EDIT: Changing your post and removing the Litecoin part doesn't help.

[LiteCoinGuy]

wanted to buy some stuff with bitcoin but bitpay was broken. anyone has the same problem?

@ GeekBitcoin

You may want to add some instructions for using the shopping cart here. (defined in includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php)

This made me laugh
