Good news everyone!

[darkphantom934]

Good to know that someone high up in executive hierarchy isn't a flaming asshole

This is good for bitcoins because it means that the adoption is spreading among all the major and minor companies, the future is really bright

[gogxmagog]

Great news, unless AOL :/

[linxproz]

There are several good news about the bitcoin adoption but still ebay hasn't implemented btc for real, I'm waiting for it.

is there such a thing as a soft troll?
(~or do we want those?)

this post seems staged

no?

Interesting! Very good to see a company presumably involved with the backend of networking also interested in Bitcoin. I also see Bitcoin more as a protocol that works in the back, much like TCP/IP for instance. Keep us posted!!!

I am a network guy and I work for a company that used to be one of the internet pioneers. Recently however, we have been sidestepped by other companies a bit,  but we are still around and trying to turn things around with new software that frankly is pretty awesome. Anyway, we had an all hands meeting the other day and after the meeting I went up to our CEO and asked him what's his opinion on taking BTC as a form of payment. I was expecting a very short answer that was negative, and to my surprise it was completely the opposite. He seemed very interested and asked me question after question about mining, MT GOX, alt-coins etc. We spoke  for a bout 5 minutes and afterwards he told me to send an email to some of the guys way up on the pole and CC him, which I did! I'm SO EXCITED! I feel like i just asked a girl out to prom and she said welll.... maybe  LULZ.

That is real good news. Companies need to change their opinions about btc payment.

I wonder if this has something to do with the dumping in China?

Yes, future is bright but still is long way to go.
Bitcoin will not become global currency overnight.
A lot hard work and promotion is needed...

very impressed with you're describing. it gives a good big influence to all users of bitcoin.
especially in the country where you work. This may be an inspiration to others

I'm not trolling and this is not staged! the CEO works in my building and I've ran into him several times in the elevator but never had the balls to ask him about BTC.
An all hands meetings on the other hand is a perfect time to ask these types of questions. Granted I didn't ask the question during the QA session since I wasn't sure what his reaction would be.
So I just waited for the QA session  to be over and when people started walking out of the room, i just went up to him and asked.

still no reply :/

Good on you for taking the initiative to propose Bitcoin to the higher ups.  That is something I hope pays off in the long run for both you and the company you work for.  I also completely understand not saying who you work for and associating the forum account with the company is smart IMO.

[soccosocco]

wow, it's really very good news
Can you tell us the name or the company?
This will make the BTC price rise

Great work OP

I Dont think it's a good idea to name the company ATM.

[franckuestein]

Still no company-name mentioned? 

lol.
We want to know that company accepting BTC!

[1Referee]

Cool! CEO's who are open to welcome new technology such as Bitcoin will be a big step ahead of the competitors that aren't interested in renewing.

Hope more companies will follow

Thats really great news. Are you based in US or EU
