Jon - please hire someone (serious here) to get the press involved in this.  Someone needs to gather the numbers for sales, or something, so that the press can write articles on this.  You're probably way ahead of me on this, but the press is writing about Bitcoin Black Friday - so they're going to go nuts if we can give them a dollar amount spent and number of merchants - maybe even number of purchases / people who participated.  This will be *huge* press for Bitcoin, and i would hire someone to contact every store that participated, and every press outlet possible (maybe put a notice on the website home page) ... to get the articles out there.

I realize this is short notice, but im hoping someone will consolidate this information on the sales and participants and help get the public aware of what went down!

Huge press opportunity for success of Bitcoin.  Very important!



That'll be me on Saturday. ( Cry )

We're getting HUGE press right now, go hit up google news.

I'm planning on doing most of my holiday shopping today with bitcoin.

Who's with me?

We will be doing most of our Christmas shopping with bitcoin tomorrow.  We will be traveling with our new smartphones (paid with bitcion) trying to do our shopping and answering the Bees Brothers emails.

Never a dull moment with bitcoin!

gyft.com is offering 4 points per dollar on black friday, so 1 day deal only. i might make another order on coinbase and then trasfer it over there just for the hell of it. paying the exchange fee will probably negate any savings, but i don't mind.. it's just me helping move BTC around.

That's our plan too!  Now that "Gyft" cards are available for the hard-to-shop for people, I think I can do all my Christmas shopping with bitcoin!


You know what would be really amazing?  A whale like goat, nakowa, or rpietila, loaded, etc buying a space flight from http://www.virgingalactic.com tomorrow.  They actually have an add on http://www.bitcoinblackfriday.com/#cat=0  Grin!

Not normally a fan of this type of consumerism, but to me this is more about demonstrating to the world the growing power of bitcoin.  My GF and I reviewed the vendors listed at:

http://www.bitcoinblackfriday.com

We will be buying:

1. Coffee (http://bitbrew.net)
2. Honey caramels and regular honey (http://www.beesbros.com/store-for-bitcoins.html)
3. Fancy loose-leaf green tea (http://tealet.com/bitcoinblackfriday)
4. Sexy lollypops (http://www.lollyphile.com)
5. Amazon and Target "gyft" cards (http://www.gyft.com/bitcoin/)
6. 1/4 oz gold eagle (http://www.amagimetals.com/gold/fractional)
7. A bitcoin T-shirt from one of the many vendors.


Last year BitPay did 99 transactions on Bitcoin Black Friday (and that was the record at the time).  It will be interesting to see how much we have grown.

I hope Bitcoin Black Friday is a success!  Is there anyway to analyze the blockchain to know for sure?

Do retailers typically convert to fiat when coins are spent?  Trying to time my next bitcoin entry -- trying to buy the dips, but there are no dips  Undecided

I've got my eye on a speaker bar on bitcoinstore.com.

at this point, i rather buy an amazon gift card with BTC instead of buying it directly. i know, people who are invested in BTC don't like this.. but sale prices on goods are much cheaper than the retail you have to pay in btc.

you can buy amazon vouchers for devcoins:

Devcoins are cheap right now relative to other coins (they haven't gone up as much). Instead of spending your bitcoins, switch one of the alts with no merchants into devcoin and get some amazon vouchers.

Anyone know if there will be a deal on Galaxy S4 cases? It would be especially awesome if the case had a Bitcoin design  Cool
I don't think that there is one with a Bitcoin design, good idea though!
