Purse.io Has Disallowed Purchasing Amazon Gift Cards With Bitcoin (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 10 hours ago by rbtkhn

This notification just showed up today when I logged in. No reason was stated, but it must be assumed that this was a fraud mitigation decision. The benefit of purchasing Amazon gift cards on Purse rather than just purchasing the desired items directly is that it allowed you to purchase items, including used items, from third-party sellers effectively at a huge discount, which cannot be done through the Purse platform directly.

Crazy marketing idea: Find the hidden accepting bitcoin store in your town. (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 2 hours ago by frrrni
So the contest is like a treasure hunt: The first person who would spend bitcoin at the secret bitcoin store, wins a prize. The secret store would be partnering with the contest organizers, and can't advertise that they accept bitcoin until a winner is found. The store has to reveal that it's the secret store if it's simply asked "Do you take bitcoin?"
The idea is that people would run around asking in different stores "Do you take bitcoin?" and then go away! It might make one or two store owners think.

even if they don't advertise it, it's always going to be obvious which stores always accept bitcoin. go straight to the local e-cig supplies store and win, basically.

i was at a nerd convention last night and some dude was ranting at 2 guys about buying bitcoins highlights include:

1. "IF I WALKED IN A CAR DEALERSHIP WITH SUITCASE FULL OF MONEY THEY WOULD STILL FORCE ME TO TAKE OUT A LOAN!!!"

2. "YOU DON'T STORE BITCOINS YOU STORE 1s AND 0s!!!"

3. "YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE BITCOIN TO USE BITCOIN!!!"

at some point he left and the guys looked at each other and started laughing

Or they could jump on board and speed up the process of Bitcoin adoption and figure out a new way to profit. They won't though.

[�]aka5 4 points an hour ago

For example they could easy adopt the BTC ATM concept and sell and buy bitcoins in there WU offices (and profit from the margin, they could also automate this in the future and profit even more).

western union was founded in 1851 to provide telegraph services, and butters assume the reason they don't adopt bitcoin is because they cannot adapt to new technology.

I don't understand why this even needed to be tested. Of course the mining algorithm would work on an old computer, it's not all that complex as far as computing functions go. Basically asking "can old computers do math". The answer will always be " yes, but much more slowly than new ones ".
