I have been a on/off lurker for 1.5 years. Just now really getting into it now. Did a small investment in 8 GPUs to mine on. Thankfully electricity is fairly cheap here.
I do a lot of internet purchasing. Everything except groceries for myself. I'm sure we all do.
Not sure if there has been a movement on trying to get websites that we all shop at to accept bitcoins, but I have started this myself. I would love to pay in BC if the option existed on the websites I shop at. I have started the process of emailing these companies on when they will accept BC, if they have looked into accepting BC, etc. I will be emailing them periodically as well about it. Im a long time shopper at all these websites, so will be a long time nuisance until they take BC, lol.
The BC community is pretty large it seems. I figure if enough people email the stores they shop at, some websites would really consider accepting BC and take it as a payment option. Thus strengthening BC place in the world. :-)
