One of the world's largest online travel agencies, Expedia, has become the latest company to accept Bitcoin transactions as a form of payment.

Nice, BUT, every 24h they will sell the bitcoins for USD, not hold.
I'm sure if Expedia understands that the price of BTC rises slowly, even they will hold their BTC.

As it currently stands, they have no volatility risk in crypto as they are doing the same thing as Overstock and Dish--using Coinbase to instantly convert to USD.

aw ysssss you're a PIMP

EDIT: will the cold storage be implemented for the MN the 20th as well?

Yep, it's supported by RC3. Binaries will be available soon.

Wow those are awesome news, congratulations sir.

Last question, I saw on darkcointalk that you were happy that approx. 98% of MN were paid, is that a non issue to not reach 100% ? I might have misunderstood also.
As far as I understand that 98% number was from before the checkpointing was removed. Reading through the testing thread at darkcointalk, the checkpointing was causing a bunch of orphans, among other issues, so now that it has been removed that number is likely higher.  

great work, but please dont feel rushed. Better to wait longer if needed to make sure that 100% instead of 98% are paid

Well Evan just pulled in the release by a week so he must feel confident. A lot of people were working hard to try and "break" and "hack" testnet and the masternode payments proceeded as planned. I'll let Evan comment on the specific numbers, but I feel much more confident about the masternode payments today than I did a week ago.

Anyone got a link to that post? If its the one im thinking of then I think people misunderstood it and the post was about 98% of the block being payed out? and I thought they got mixed up with 98% instead of 80%. I could be wrong but thats what I thought it was saying at the time.
