His domain knowledge was awesome. He knew everything that I needed in terms of the hardware.

What annoyed me was that he made such a statement without even reading up a wee bit more. It was annoying that all he read was banned.
It was the equivalent of me asking if the RAM that he was suggesting was banned.

And yeah, happened on the same day.. Was mindblown when I saw the news on the same day.

That is how always it is. Outside of your area you will find intelligent people making comments which are widely believed. You would've thought they would look up a bit, but they just take the easy way out.

Probably I am the same too so I shouldn't rant Grin

Well, no call, no mail from Dell after that..
Found a new vendor and sorted out my needs

It is a great news! Anybody bought with BTC?

Its not available in Dell India, in fact I doubt it is available outside USA. Bitcoin is still in murky land regarding regulations so companies will tread cautiously.

Until RBI clarifies, or somebody goes to court over some incident forcing a ruling, it will stay like that here.

Have asked them. They said that they'll let me know soon.

I am not sure about Dell accepting Bitcoin in India .. Maybe after 2 or 3 years sure , coz fucked up RBI wont even allow foreign entities to work as foreign company but should start a subsidiary company in India so that it follows the regulation of RBI .. Even to have e-wallet integrated to your website needs 2-3 years worth of Paperwork and bribing .. Flipkart have ewallet , Amazon.in don't .. we definitely need a coinbase alternative in India .. RBI wont give any special permission or give out rules for how Bitcoin start-up should work until they see those companies making lot of profit and then the GOVT will force RBI so that they together can suck more money from people and put in their Swiss accounts

lol yeah.. I have a call with him tomorrow morning.

haha thats gonna be humiliating for him, and Pls do you best to make him feel that. :p [I'm evil]
I'm sure he must have done all the research about it in last couple of days , But don't get surprised when he'll say " bitcoin is insolvent " because mt-gox went insolvent [that is one of the most absurd thing I have heard from one of tech friends]

I called Dell on Friday to check on some hardware.
Got through to the sales guy who got us on a conf call with a pretty senior chap from their technology team.
We began the call and I asked him if he had heard about Bitcoin.
His flat out answer was 'yes. it has been banned no?'
I lost my temper and said 'For a person working with high technology, you don't seem to know much about the same'

Felt quite bad that I had done that until later when the Dell news came out.
Forwarded the Blog to him

So if I got it right , this incident took place same day when Dell officially announced that " They are now accepting bitcoins " and that " Senior chap "didn't knew about it that's totally lame , is it that hard to subscribe to blog feed of company you work with .?
I guess he was just another lazy a*s living in oblivion.

Its the same all over again. Bitcoin has reached some sort of visibility that this doesn't change much. What it does instead is another way to spend your Bitcoins which just amounts to selling pressure. Something different still needs to happen for Bitcoin to take off.

Yeah Adoption isn't making much of impact lately like it used to be when bitcoin was not much known, but if eCommerce sites like ebay or amazon jumps in that'll surely take it up.

There had been news of ebay's interest in bitcoin in the past but still nothing concrete yet. And Dell's adoption of BTC will have impact on BTC adoption by other sites , its just a matter of time.

Again, adoption like this won't increase buying pressure. Initially it was creating some buying demand as it was gaining more visibility, but not so much now. Instead you have more ways to sell.

Something else needs to happen for Bitcoin to rise.

Bitcoin market is still more speculative than anything and adoption or any other good news definitely has impact on BTC economy , though it takes some time and doesn't get pumped as used to occur earlier.

Its great news for Bitcoin and many other ecommerce sites may follow similar trend. Acche din for Bitcoin Grin

Bitcoin has already seen so many " Acche Din " only question that should be asked is whether they are coming back again .? HOPE SO , I can see all the reasons influencing btc in good manner. lets see if something similar happens this November as Nov2013.

It would be nice for it to finally rise though
8 Billion market cap for a while now.
