is there any loophole that allow you buy prepaid visa/debit giftcard from newegg now that they accept bitcoin Huh

Hm.. Just last week Newegg told me that they have no plans to ever except bitcoin

"Thank you for contacting Newegg.

I apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, we don't plan to start accepting bitcoin. Thank you in advance for your patience.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please visit our FAQs page. If you still require any assistance, please feel free to reply directly to this email.

Thank you,

Yeah, they've had that standard boilerplate for a long, long time. I wonder what finally tipped their hand. Probably all this positive press around the auction. It's obvious bitcoin is being given the green light by the US government, and that it's here to stay. I see more big companies jumping on board in the near future.

Either that, or the state of California clearing up the waters about accepting crypto currencies (which used to be illegal, even if not really enforced).
