@elonmusk you should accept bitcoin at Tesla.

Elon Musk PM to Elwar:
Sounds like a good idea Elwar, I will do that and you should receive a 1000 BTC bounty for it.

I'm offering a 1000 BTC bounty for getting a major business to accept Bitcoins as payment. Conditions:

The business should have at least tens of thousands of customers and a revenue of at least 50 -100 million USD.
The business must accept Bitcoins as payment for the most of their services.
The business must provide a reasonably convenient way to pay with Bitcoins. If it's an internet business, they should process the Bitcoin payments automatically.
The bounty recipient(s) must prove that they convinced the business to start accepting Bitcoins. Contact Sirius by a PM or IRC when the business has shown interest in accepting Bitcoins.
The bounty will be paid when the business has accepted Bitcoins as payment for 3 months. If they accept Bitcoins for less than 3 months but at least 3 weeks, the bounty will be 200 BTC.
The bounty expires on 31.12.2011. The business must make the decision to try out Bitcoins before that.
These terms are subject to change.

Ask me if you're unsure if your business qualifies. Feel free to contribute to the bounty amount.

Suggestion: Try to get a poker site to accept BTC

Is this still up for grabs? :-)

I doubt that any business with 100 millions USD of revenue would accept bitcoins right now. Do you realize how much a 1% shift in Bitcoin price (which happens everyday) would affect the company? Million dollar companies don't play the roulette with their revenues. Every dollar is accounted for.

the main problem of companies is less bitcoins volatility but its dividability, how can you liquidate, bitcoin when you have to pay 1000 employees?

From Linode's Lee Matos:

Quote

I do not know of our plans to accept bitcoins as payment. I think that it is safe to say that we will not be accepting bitcoins until they widely used across the public sector. I hope this helps!

I presume this type of hesitation to accept bitcoins until bitcoins are 'widely used across the public sector' is prevalent excuse across many businesses, and without any of them taking initiation and instead preserving hesitation, then there will never be an established 'wide use across the public sector.'

I don't expect that the government will ever accept bitcoins.

governments with strong currencies wont accept bitcoins

governments with traditionally weak ones like simbabwe will

Just want to know if this bounty is still good since it says that it would end New Year's Eve of 2011. The time was very short as most businesses at that level would take almost a year to make a final decision. If it is still good I have been talking to my store director at Best Buy as well as on their suggestion DB and they seem interested. In fact they have asked me to write up a presentation which I just completed and will submit sometime this week to the store director and/or corporate leaders. Let me know if I will qualify for the bounty because I would like it. Cheesy

Sorry, the bounty is closed already. Hopefully someone else would be willing to donate for the cause.

Looks like it's too late QK

The thread title needs to change then.

Agreed.

I will try no matter what, but it is going to cost a lot of money to make it happen, so some extra Bitcoins would help a lot.

If this company comes on board, it will be a great step, but I don't think it will send the Bitcoin price over $100.

I will post again once there is an update.

What sort of bounty is still available if I can convince the following company to accept Bitcoins publicly on their website?

Publicly traded on the Nasdaq
Stock price currently over $40
Market cap of over $500,000,000
Anual sales of over $300,000,000
Worldwide customer base.
Would greatly benefit from accepting Bitcoins as a payment method.

I guess the bounty would be a bitcoin exchange rate above $100 and a healthy reinforcement of your bitcoin hero status (you won this in my mind with your billboard).

Yes you would qualify since Best Buy has revenue of more than $50B. I would personally add another 2000btc if this is accepted nation-wide.

I hope you make a good presentation.

Are we talking about the same "BestBuy" ?

You are WRONG!

i have just asked kickstarter.com to use bitcoin as a donation method. i think that its the right way to use bitcoin, because bitcoin can be used to sent small amounts.
