just like the wild west, where mining became expensive, the miners began opening saloons, blacksmiths and other things to get paid gold.. meaning less sweat and a calculable profit margin.
so now bitcoin is going through this very phase. ... but what does the bitcoin community really need to help this along. 1) drop shippers, manufacturers, suppliers that accept bitcoin. 2) employee's who are happy to accept 100% bitcoin for thir salary. 3) delivery companies to accept bitcoin. 4) utility companies.
we need to get this ball rolling so that not only do we as a community tell merchants the benefits of bitcoin from the payment processing fee side, but also from the supply/delivery and salary side.
so now lets get our thinking caps on, which companies should be the first that we aim our plea's of bitcoin acceptance too. to help merchants adopt bitcoin more and not have to worry so much about converting to fiat to pay off costs.

atfirst thought i was thinking: microsoft as a supplier? most people buy PC's with microsoft already included, or torrent it.. so microsoft is not a big name id waste my time on to help merchants.. but then, the chain reaction as your first sentance pointed out: although it would help hardware suppliers such as but dell, lenovo, HP, to get onboard as they can buy OEM licences using the bitcoins they get to then start selling PC's at wholesale retailers in bitcoin so i agree microsoft would 'help' push the PC manufacturers

call me old fashioned but i prefer users to be proper nodes and part of the proper network, not using web walets last i checked, and this was a long time ago (like a year), the blockchain was something like 12GB.. i wouldn't be surprised if it has reached 16GB by now. no way you can fit that in an installation disk, so it would be a problem. i guess windows could package it in a flash drive, but they can do that with every piece of software. it's too big and too much work.
call me modern but doesnt a blueray disk which most new PC's have contain 25gb/50gb, so if the OEM supplied to pc manufacturers would be blueray based. but we all know PC manufacturers install OEMs onto PC's from a hard drive clone (iso)
