It sux that we are excluded, because of borders. ^Sad^
Bitcoins have no borders, why should you?

Same didn't notice that Black Friday was soon
Although today could be known as a Black Friday for an entirely different reason
RIP SR2 (purge is still ongoing) So it's probably a few more than that.

Awesome. I'll be shopping on that day for sure. 

Any word if you can get Newegg to offer some deals or a % off?

As am I!

I think that spending your bitcoin is the key to have the price of bitcoin go higher over the long term, as spending your bitcoin will contrubate to the bitcoin economy.

That would be amazing! Keep up the good work guys

yay! great to hear this

I think next year we'll actually be able to segregate by country/continent.

Same here! Let's hope there are some more European based companies involved as well

Looking forward to participating in this.

FAQ

Won't this hurt the price? Shouldn't everyone hold?

We don't advocate that Bitcoiners sell out of Bitcoin, only that they support the merchants they worked so hard to get on board and then replenish any bitcoins that they have spent. You can keep your hoard, just spend that fiat that you would during the holidays at merchants accepting Bitcoin.

How many merchants are going to participate this year?

We had 600 merchants participate last year. Thanks to all the growth in the Bitcoin merchant space due to BitPay, Coinbase, and others we're shooting for 6000 merchants to offer a deal this year. That's a small percentage of total businesses that accept Bitcoin, but a large percentage of how many actually interact with the community. We need your help with this, if you want to see your favorite small merchant participate this year, send them an email with a link to sign up on our site, it's free.

How do you screen deals?
I personally review all merchants on the site before we go live. If they're known scammers, their submission is deleted. It's still up to the consumer to double check on smaller stores with few reviews though. Buyer beware.

When will the deals be live?

We tend to tease a couple deals a week before the site goes up. Past that, we unleash all the deals the morning of the 28th.
