Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

I know this is real because the amazon rep Hariprasath is the exact same guy who fixed a billing issue for me less than a month ago.
Anybody who says fake with no evidence just got his ass handed to him.

Erh... Ever heard about the developer console? It just lets you edit the HTML of the page you're viewing, meaning that you can edit the text to say whatever you like.

@delaro
Why are there 16 minutes between both screenshots in the clock on your computer? Why are there 14 minutes between making the first screenshot and posting it here?

I sent this email to Amazon's customer support on Jan 19th. This was my message. It was a little crude but I was in a hurry and didn't expect to get a response back. " Original Message --------------- 01/19/14 09:50:00 Your Name: Alex Myers Comments:Hello, I was wondering if Amazon.com would be willing to accept bitcoins as payment for merchandise on their site. Since I have quite a few bitcoins that I would like to spend and there aren't many major websites that accept bitcoins, I would like to ask if there would be any chance of you begining to accept bitcoins in the future so I can spend my stash. One of the reasons I prefer bitcoins over cash is because they are much more secure and there is no chance of having my personal information stolen, like what happened at Target recently for millions of customers. This would give me some peace of mind. Also, the transaction costs associated with bitcoin are almost 0% compared to the 2.5%~ cost that credit cards charge. Would you be willing to begin accepting bitcoins on your website? Companies like Bitpay and Coinbase make it very easy to accept bitcoins and then transfer those bitcoins instantly over to cash for almost free. I would appreciate it if you would give me this payment option. Let me know what you think - Alex Myers --------------- " I opened up my email today and saw a response from Amazon. " Hello, Thanks for writing to us. We don't accept bitcoins as a payment method on our website at this time. However, I am pleased to inform you that we are in the process of creating our own bitcoin payment processor and will be able to begin accepting this method of payment in the near future on Amazon.com. In the meantime, we accept credit cards, debit cards, payment from U.S. checking accounts, Amazon.com Gift Cards, Amazon Payments Stored Balance, and the Amazon.com Store Card. Here are the credit cards we accept: -- American Express -- Diner's Club (U.S. billing addresses only) -- Discover -- MasterCard -- Visa, Visa Electron, and Visa Check Cards -- Eurocard -- JCB -- NYCE -- STAR -- China UnionPay (credit card only) You can learn more about these payment methods on our Help pages: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=513058 Thank you for your suggestion to accept bit coins as a payment method. Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve our website and services. I appreciate your thoughts. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Best regards, Hariprasath S. " Is this important news? Let me know your thoughts. Did anyone else do the Harlem shake to this one?in other news - Target has "targeted" me and my e-gift card. they first said, NO, WE WONT TAkE ANY GC that isnt purchased nor saved in the official TARGET APP. The lady proceeds to make me download their POS app which doesnt work, and I still cannot use my e-gift card, purchased with bitcoin from Gyft. This is the first time that's ever happened to me but they basically have me pigeonholded with a useless giftcard. I'm now talking to gyft about getting a refund as their client is refusing to allow me to use it. I've used target giftcards on my phone before at other ones - why the mess up all of the sudden.

Publically traded companies have certain requirements on how information that could effect the companies stock price is released. Something like this would be released in an official press release for "everyone" to learn about at the same time. Nice troll though, got me very excited for a minute

If this was true. The price would have risen in a couple of hours because of insider trading. I can't imagine Mr. Hariprasath to know about this and not to buy some bitcoins himself.

If you have btc and you must use it on amazon - then use gyft, its virtually the same process I've been using my btc with amazon for months now to expand stuff.
