Last week I used darkcoin for annonimization of my funds.

I started with exchanging bitcoins to darkcoins on bitfinex, then did a few runds of darksend, and then i exchanged drks back to bitcoin but used different exchange for that. Then I transferred bitcoins to my fresh bitcoin wallet. My funds are now completely annonymous, and will remain so, until i exit to fiat money (if at all).

everyday someone is either introducing a new alt coin or a new way to trade alt coins, but i'm wondering how many alt coin owner use their coins to actually buy thing outside of the crypto currency realm?

Have you ever shopped at a crypto stores  (there are over 500)?
Have you figured out  a way to use your favorite coin to pay your utility bill?

How can we maximize our resources?

"Jay's Jerky" lives ? or he makes sauce now ? LOL

good list !

i like to hear this stuff but i have to wonder why people all avoid saying HOW.
if i use a proxy i can use any coin to buy anything anywhere basically.
what i think we all REALLY want to know is what coins will be taken directly
or maybe by a well known trusted big payment processor etc.

PS:
AVOID PAYPAL or your an idiot !
Trust me it costs money and time and tons of energy and pissing around fighting them once your account is locked.
The use of digital currencies of ANY kind is forbidden with their TOS and it always has been !
They sent it to me in writing..
And the email they sent me i googled it and i found it had been sent to another guy here at Bitcointalk a year earlier word for word.

FUD first & ask questions later™

absolutely and I want to know who is buying and selling using alt coins so that the CC industry get stronger in real terms.

wow, that's a great lead, thanks







Interesting thread. Is there a comprehensive list anywhere of all cryptocurrency merchants?


yes, in fact Bit John originated one it has a ton of merchants on it, many of them are out of business.

This thread was looking more at the action rather than the planning, if there are a hundreds of store and tons of merchandise
and services but people are not using them then the utility of the coin becomes worthless, with out utility the currency becomes a commodity.

The real strength of a currency is in utility.

Most people were answering the question matter-of-fact not really approaching the subject matter in a discussion type way as you inquired and I wish they did,
my guess is if I asked a better question we probably would have gotten that info -- sorry.


I know of only one 'big' payment processor -- coinpayments.net  however they don't service all coins, but very many.  







I want purchase something, but delivery fee to another country is too expensive
And too long. So I never purchase anything Cheesy


however there are tons of electronic goods and services available


Even better, regardless of what country you are in there are many goods and services that are not available in your country that are available in other countries.   Because of climate differences simple things like tobacco, coffee, and water differs greatly from country to country.
