They should have listed this in Bitpremier. There are dozens of similar listings there. Otherwise, how Bitcoin enthusiasts will know about this sale? That said, if the sale actually happens, then everything will be smooth. Washington is a Bitcoin-friendly state and there are several Bitcoin ATMs and other crypto-businesses operating out if it (esp. in Seattle).
I wish it was more friendly than you make it out to be. We have a decent community here, but we are so scattered, and the "community" doesn't really pull together to accomplish anything. Compare that to our sister local community in Vancouver and we are a mess.
That said, we are better than most, and I look forward to us getting more folks on board, especially restaurants, that stuff is fun!
