Re: Just asked leanpub if they accepted bitcoins, this is what I got...
Holy shit, they're actually waiting for Paypal to integrate Bitcoin? 
WTF, the whole idea of using Bitcoin is to get rid of Paypal, along with banks, credit card companies, and other slow, expensive, restricted, monopolistic, insecure crap.

While I agree with your direction, what the heck would you expect from random business #75939? I don't know who leanpub is, but why would anyone expect them to immediately jump on Bitcoin?
It's hard enough to keep a real business afloat, what with all the million details that need attending to. The idea of accepting Bitcoin likely has never even crossed the mind of your average business owner. They have a payment solution that is 'working' for them.
The average person needs to be exposed to an idea somewhere around seven times before it actually enters their consciousness. This contact from gurghet may be number one of the requisite seven.
