I was hoping to see more mayor retail stores getting in on the Bitcoin action, but it seems as though it's only the "alternative" merchants taking advantage of this event. Other than Gyft,

I do not see some mind blowing deals. The Trezor deal sounds interesting, but I am not sure what they offering. { $79.5 for two... or $79.5 each, if you buy 2 } Sorry if I am a bit slow

today, but I had very little sleep lately. Anyone bought something from any of these retailers?

All of the deals are now live on http://bitcoinblackfriday.com

They don't show up for me. I still see the "sign up for a reminder" thing.

That is due to the cache, refresh your cache by doing ctrl f-5
Wow thanks, I feel ashamed now  Grin

T-minus 3 1/2 hours for me to start the shopping spree. And the hunt is on!  Shocked
It might be an odd question to ask but what time zone was it based on if we are going by UTC Black Friday is already on Smiley

As a consumer I like that there are 2 sites.  More chance I won't miss out on any deals.  We will see which site is better tomorrow.  I wish there was early access. 

Will the merchant list be up at midnight EST?

Ours will be, or around then. Might be an hour or two delayed depending on how it goes.

>quite surprised we actually have more than 2k merchants.

There aren't 2k merchants.

.info has been spewing that number with no basis in fact.

Last year we approached something like 3-6k merchants. We had access to most of Bitpay's merchant list and contact information, we had help from *every* payment processor to reach out to merchants.

We started months before .info even registered their knockoff website.

We got 600. Total. Less than that once you got rid of the scam sites.

I'm also guessing a majority of their 'deals' this year aren't even Bitcoin exclusive.


thx for the update. i will visit your website for sure.

Is anyone else just going to hold? I feel like buying, but then I regret buying because I don't have many BTC, and I feel like buying some product with gold, thats why I tend to hold.

Buy with bitcoin and than buy the bitcoin back the day after.

That way you can benefit both from cheaper stuff and still having your coins again afterwards.

I just gave the number i saw on their website .The more the merchants the better chances of us getting the deals so its a good thing for us buyers.

What I really hate is that most of this BF lists become available on Black Friday. People don't have enough time to prepare their strategies. I like to think about my purchases or investment decisions.

I think you hit the nail on the head  with this statement... I also plan and budget way in advance before I make a big purchase decision and I shop around for the cheapest deals.

I sometimes wonder if they do this on purpose to force people to make impulsive decisions. This is one of the reasons why the USA has such a debt crisis. People are being

bombarded with aggressive marketing strategies and they buy unnecessary things on impulse. If you had time to compare prices, you could make the best decisions and you

would isolate the real deals and bargains.  Sad

The reason you see a lot of conventional Black Friday deals marketed the entire week before hand is that they need to get people physically into the stores.

A lot of the cybermonday deals aren't pre-announced.

The first year I started this event I decided it was more worthwhile to announce all the deals on the day of. It provides more of an 'event' and is much easier to promote to the mainstream media.

Anyways, that's been the number one complaint I've heard this year, so next year we'll change it up a bit.
