Liberty Reserve?

Wow! Thanks!

This should definitely get our team excited about adding support. Talking this over with my business partner, we did have some legal / liability concerns which I posted about here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1551802

Feel free to add some thoughts in there as well. The answers so far have been pretty good.

Seriously, this just made my day. Definitely cool to see this kind of support.

OP updated.

Sounds great Luke. Let us know how we can support you.

Wonderful! Let us know if you have any questions about anything at all.

Or 'sink beneath'.

I suggest that anyone who is serious and dedicated and may have some skilz focus mainly on the dev forums, but jack-offs poke there heads in there from time to time as well.  I am lazy and more comfortable among the flotsam and jetsam and more typical plonkers of the community.

There are some gems here, with great reasoning, but they float upon a sea of twats. 

Enjoy this mis-conception while it lasts.

I'm asking my team to seriously consider supporting it (this is my first post out of Newbie Jail, btw).

I'm new to Bitcoin, but have enjoyed this recent price increase (it was $17 when I found out about it). I've been talking with the great folks in #bitcoin and reading what time will allow here and on Reddit. Fascinating stuff.

We run a shopping cart software as a service (http://www.foxycart.com) who's primary focus is serving developers. The Bitcoin community seems to have a lot of developers. We're hoping, if we do support it on our platform, it could create some buzz, drive some traffic and actually get people using Bitcoins for every day commerce. We're not in the 10's of thousands of stores (yet), but we do have more than a couple thousand using our system and, according to these guys, we're #8 out of 177 this month for fastest growing ecommerce technologies: http://trends.builtwith.com/shop/growth

If we can help move the needle a little bit and get every-day merchants thinking about Bitcoin, that's a win for everyone.

So please keep an eye out for us and give us some love if we do launch Bitcoin support. Our first tiptoe in the water may involve bitpay support and who knows about the future.

Side note:
Thanks for being such an intelligent community. I like the "newbie jail" idea and I've been pleasantly impressed with the rational thought talking place here. Then again, maybe I just haven't been around long enough.

Yeah I agree, Apple would be a long shot. I hold Google in much higher regard though, their Wallet is perfect for Bitcoin.

iTunes accepting bitcoin is the same Visa or mastercard accepting bitcoin... stay away from apple

Not MechWarrior Online apparently


Bah.

Google Wallet and iTunes will definitely be the best additions to Bitcoin, because it will open the possibility for everyone, worldwide to pay for apps on their smartphone. Having to use a credit card for this purpose is a major barrier for many users, so the option to pay with bitcoins would actually solve something.

I was excited for Infiniti Poker, but they are like Butterfly Labs: always making promises and then always delaying. Not sure if they are trustworthy.

I think it would be nice to ask thinkgeek.com to accept bitcoins

Bitcoin is the cats pajamas for merchants.  It generally sucks for consumers though.  For an example of this, look at the bASIC scam.  e.g., who got their money back and who did not.  Reasonably together people who used mainstream payment methods were made whole through chargebacks.  Those who used Bitcoin will largely be sucking on it.  It's the scammer's call.

The fact that Bitcoin is a poor choice for consumers also detracts from it's value to businesses as customers may shy away from using it.  If integrators start providing charge-back protection, they will have to suck the cost out of the userbase...just as do our current mainstream payment providers.

Bitcoin is, in my opinion, mostly useful for revolving services (such as Mega) except that at some point smaller transactions will be indistinguishable from useless dust like SatoshiDice and will be impacted by whatever mechanism is emplaced to defend against such things.

Is there a clear and concise form letter floating around bitcointalk or elsewhere that extolls the benefits received by businesses if they were to implement BTC?
If not perhaps we can put one together.

Key advantages...
1. No chargebacks
2. lower fees vs Visa/PP etc.
3. bitcoin volatility fears can now easily be allayed with Bitpay integration.

I wish amazon would use it instead of inventing their own funky Microsoft points clone

SA was in their heyday (vis-a-vis Bitcoin) around the time they outed Bruce as a degenerate scamming fuckhead.  They were both very funny and providing a well needed service to the Bitcoin community back in those days.  Since then the amusing goons have mostly wandered off and there are like 400 pages on the new thread re-hashing about 4 tired and not terribly amusing themes.

To this day the SA forum is a good way to pick up on absurd threads on this forum since a number of SA goons seem to have little better to do than to scan bitcointalk.org more thoroughly than I.  But even here one needs to go through like 10 pages of boring stuff to find a gem.

I actually believe that I might have talked the most comically talented goon into plunking some money into BTC at around $3.00.  I hope so because he'd be up nearly 1000% and his work was worth it.  He shut up not long after that which is why I am hopeful that he was bright enough to have realized that it was worth a speculative bet.
