I want to see ubuntu support bitcoin then they can integrate it into their mobile payment systems. Imagine how cool that would be.
Yeah I could see Ubuntu adopting bitcoin possibly and you know what I could also see (instead) it being used on the PS4 (as the PS4 is x86 and they can't use Microsoft software and with Steam's push towards Linux I could see Sony following somehow) but Ubuntu phones are going to be very high end phones if there to dual function as a full PC. The FireFox phone is being made cheap and is relying on HTML5 web based apps rather than a app store. The FireFox is being market at emerging markets while I bet the Ubuntu phone will be market at the high end of the western market. Deffo want a Ubuntu phone tho tho I do prefer to use Xubuntu and/or Lubuntu. Tried LMDE the other day and chose the Xfce version to save resources yet it was painfully slow compared to Xubuntu (on this DN2800 Atom).

Imagine if 1% of remmittances were sent w/btc 
The amount of remittances sent from the UK to India is in the £BILLIONS and I bet they pay heavily in fees. This is a major opportunity for bitcoin. Lets just hope these cheap HTML5 FireFox phones take off there

The Indian people don't even have a Wikipedia article on bitcoins and they are second-most populous country on the planet. Does anyone here speak Hindi? How do we bring bitcoin to these people? Why aren't Indians interested in bitcoin yet?
Edit: I noticed we have a sub-forum for India but it's all in English! Not a sign of native interest!
