Ordered from TD on 31/1/14, gave them a call this morning (3/2/14) to see why order was stuck "In Process". To my surprise they asked me what the wallet id & transaction id are,  Shocked RUFKM? Did they NOT hire a BTC pro to set them up? There are api's that handle all that, might want to add that info into the order database ya think..  Anyway IMHO there is not a snowballs chance in hell that they took in 250K, fingers crossed I get the AX1200's...

We are the champions of the night
I have a TD less than an hour away from me, if they start accepting BTC in store I'll never go to Amazon again..

I'm surprised it took Zynga so long to join in they seem to usually jump on the next tech.

Probally will start selling mining hardware soon, just need to wait for the 6 month wait fron butterfly... Cool I guess how tiger direct is getting in the game.

They are getting in the Game cause they heard of NewEgg joining hate when I see companies do that, the true victor is Overstock and Zynga.  Those are my heroes now anyone who comes after are just scared to lose out.

But on their web site they provide a link for those interested in mining hardware to Butterfly labs!!
FAIL

I guess it's good news overall.  The more household name vendors that accept it the better for the whole market.
