ASIC Myth Buster

Good idea!

But We have to change 1 thing...

ASIS Miner companies and pissed off customers who lost their life saving will fuel the Government Effort to Shut/Ban the Bitcoin in the US or at least they will give pretty bad names.

Paypal are pushing out REFUND to BFL Transactions now like no tomorrow

Some Banks in the USA are start to honor Reversal on the Wire Transfer of Funds to the ASIS Miner Companies after the denial of the refund request due to the major delay.

Now most miners (pre-order) in the market are fancy paper weight or an expensive space heater or great hobby toys

This gotta change. Politicians will be forced to take some actions when people in USA are losing millions of $$$ of life saving when they tought it was a great idea to invest in the miners in late 2012 and early 2013, but now that didn't pan out.

When the politicians are flooded with phone calls, e-mail, letters and personal visits complaining about the BFL, miner sales on Ebay, other miner companies with pre-orders. They will get tired of hearing about it and they will do something adversary to Bitcoin

A fair amount of spelling and grammar mistakes, hope you didn't send that as an email Undecided

.

Changed some wording around as well, let me know what you think.

Thank you tysat. I'm sorry but the email went out yesterday Embarrassed

.
I'm not a native speaker, and felt this email was far from perfect, hence this topic.

Maybe we can try with armorgames, then...
Then we can hit steam, but we need a perfect one for that.

Hello,

I already tried to talk to your company about bitcoins with no response. So I'm taking my chance here, because I really believe you're missing the train not offering to pay for kreds using bitcoins.

Bitcoin is a digital crypto-currency that is now almost 5 years old, and is becoming more commonly adopted. When it was first released bitcoins had no value, currently 1 bitcoin is worth about $346.

This is a very incomplete introduction for people completely unaware:

A bit longer, Max Keiser talked about Bitcoin again recently:

An explorer is soon to make the first bitcoin transaction from southpole, and plant a bitcoin flag there:

Bitcoin currently being tested by Baidu:

Bitcoin ATMs are beginning to spawn:

I believe the first online gaming platform accepting bitcoins will:
- Create a nice buzz
- Most likely won't regret it financially

If you're afraid to use Bitcoin because of the fluctuating value, there is a solution to that problem. You can use a payment processor such as Bitpay or Coinbase, they will take the bitcoins and convert them to dollars for a fee of 1% or less.

I really hope you seriously consider accepting bitcoins.
Thanks for reading,

Hello,

I already tried to warn you about bitcoins through the in-site form, to no
avail, apparently.
So I'm taking my chance here, because I really beleive you're missing the
train not offering to pay for kreds using Bitcoins.

Bitcoin is a digital crypto-currency that is now 4-5 years old, and that
is more and more commonly adopted.
When it was first released, a bitcoin was being traded for a few cents,
now 1 bitcoin is worth 327$ (at the time I'm writing this).

etc.

I'm sure you're even better than me at finding material about bitcoin, as
much as I'm sure people on your team heard about it and could explain it
better.

But I'm also sure the first online gaming platform accepting bitcoins will:
- Create a nice buzz
- Most likely won't regret it financially

If you're afraid about handling bitcoins and want to stick to $, there are
some payment processors (like paypal) such as Bitpay, that will take
payments in bitcoins and send you $.

I really hope you seriously consider bitcoins.

Not really sure where to post this, please, mods, move the topic to the section you see fit.

This is an email I sent yesterday to kongregate, where I pasted in a couple recent links I fectched here.
I'm not really satisfied with it, and was hoping we could design a better template to have a solid base in this kind of prospection.

I'll edit the second post with the best template, taking in consideration all the remarks and suggestions.
Also, we need to keep the links up to date, I just threw in random ones I fetched from here...
