Gotta say, that article seems incredibly misguided to me.
I think BTC might have issues with confirmation time right now that prevent a ton of in-store user adoption, but the long-term important advantage that BTC has, in my view, is transaction cost. Apple isn't going to reduce transaction cost one iota for anybody in the chain, from what I can tell, but somebody pleae correct me if I am wrong.
For ordering online for next-day ship, fo airline tickets, for anything that doesn't require immediate change-of-possession, there is a 4%+ advantage to using BTC.
I just wish somebody would integrate a BTC wallet with gasoline pumps and come up with a way for me to put gas in my car while saving that 4%+, then split that savings with the merchant.
Apple just provides a slicker interface for using the same system of usury.

"The Bitcoin Fluid Dispenser 2.3 is an improvement of The Bitcoin Fluid Dispenser II that includes Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth communication, and the bitcoin payment protocol. Using the bitcoin payment protocol with a Bluetooth connection allows for payment to be made with no internet connection on the customer's mobile phone or tablet computer. "
Not bad

I think a QR-code would probably increase the number of donations

I guess at least 20 people will get robbed when they try to download that movie and instead somehow install a BTC wallet stealer...
I don't keep BTC on a computer I use for day to day computing (or any computer for that matter!)

One last push over the top!

No, it's just an mp4 file in the torrent. Quality is very good too

How do you download off the pirate bay? I only seem to be able to get .exe files which I'm not seriously gonna try and open.
You can just stream it here:
http://vodly.to/watch-2752062-The-Rise-and-Rise-of-Bitcoin
yeah that page is blocked in North Korea where I live, sorry I meant the UK.
You need a torrent client. utorrent was the recommended one for windows last time I messed with that side of things.
I have a torrent client, but the file I download shouldn't be a .exe should it? There's like 9 download buttons all with different URLs.
Always, always use the magnet link. That way you're not downloading anything (Well, you do automatically download the torrent from the DHT but not directly from the site). Someone should probably just post the magnet link here but that might be against T&C (though should not really be any more than a link to piratebay)
Edit: Oh, and use adblock. Then you won't see all those shitty links and it will protect you some from drive-by malware installation.

I agree that it is a viable (and much much better) alternative. However I don't care about the industry, I care about the actual creative people behind the film.
hence the donation adress provided whenever someone posts the torrent or stream.
So the creative people get rewarded instead of apple and other middlemen

how does someone not know how to torrent a file in 2014

Paste this into your browser for the Torrent:
Code:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9726736573492069ee27ee0c1d27127d94a92267&dn=The+Rise+and+Rise+of+Bitcoin+-+HD&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337

If you use an adblocker on the site you will only see the magnet symbol, no other "download" buttons with .exe files.

Green candles incoming. This could be the 1m MACD swing to $400.
The next 7.6 minutes are critical, to November being critical.
