I need help to add bitcoin to my blog as a donate facility and then later as a e-shop feature.Merchants need an incentive ike I do to be able to accept currency and to make the change worthwhile. Even 1BTC or 2 would rly help me cover my costs of setup.

Is this still available. It would be nice to help use the BTC to get someone to automate my BTC sales.

Does it count if a website accepts BTC as a donation even if they do not sell anything?  For example, if I convince my son's Boy Scout Troop to accept BTC if someone want to donate to them.

I would like to participate in this reward offer.  I will convince ABUgames (www.abugames.com) to start accepting Bitcoin as one of their accepted payment methods.  Their site has a Google PR of 4.  They sell Magic the Gathering trading cards, board games, and other gaming accessories.  MtG cards were one of the first products sold online in the early days of the web, so it seems fitting that it would be among the first products sold for bitcoin.

Please add my name to the spreadsheet.  My bitcoin address is: 1AgZgDq77Ahux1K7LdoYUJdYXT8fQanwn4

Whether I succeed or fail, I will announce it either way.

Success!  I have successfully convinced www.abugames.com to accept Bitcoin.  The logo is posted directly below their other payment option logos for credit card and paypal.  Prices on the site are still listed in USD, but bitcoin is now a payment option during the checkout process.  When selected, a new order total is computed in BTC.  At the end of the ordering process, the customer is presented with a unique payment address that corresponds with each order ID.

My bitcoin address for the reward is: 1AgZgDq77Ahux1K7LdoYUJdYXT8fQanwn4

Thank you to all those who have sponsored this challenge.  Is this reward offer available more than once per applicant?  (I might know of a few more stores who would go for it.)

I will also post in another thread some tips that might help others who are working to convince more shops.

It doesn't sound like it, but does the reward apply to start up businesses? I have some friends who are starting up an embedded systems deisgn company and I am going to help them get set up to accept bitcoins.

hmm, so i havent had a reply yet from all the companies, is this common?

edit: i've received an e-mail from shopto saying that they might consider it. the e-mail got stuck in my junk box so i didnt see it right away
also, ive sent an inquiry to the game lord of ultima, part of EA, don't think a huge company like that would accept them on a large scale right away, but who knows what happens if a smaller part of them accepts them...

I'm staying with what I already posted... we need billing companies that do the credit card/ wire payments for paysites (like porn etc) to accept btc. It would multiply the number of people using btc since noone wants that shit on their credit card bill.

That's pretty impressive, ABU Games are a big company in terms of MtG players!

Guys, just to let you know I am not paying any pledges any more and also, I haven't been maintaining the spreadsheet for a long while. For the third time I am looking for some trusted person here to take over from me. Please PM me if interested.

Is there no early adopter willing to spend some bitcoins for cheap bitcoin lobbyists?

100btc for 100 shops to accept bitcoin is a good ratio i think.

I just go my yubikey from mtgox. It's awesome.

I wanted to use it with online password store lastpass.com, but they want USD 12 / year to become premium member.

I suggested they should accept bitcoin payments. Would be a nice fit, since they're already heavily into crypto and they could really grab up some security-aware bitcoiners with yubikeys.

Not expecting any bounty.
