Good morning,

I wanted to poll the community and ask if you all believe there is a market for exchanging Bitcoin to Liberty Reserve. Our company comes across a larg amount of LR in our regular business and we are looking to acquire Bitcoin.

Accordingly, we are considering offering a 100% free exchange for Bitcoin users to buy Liberty Reserve. I welcome your thoughts and opinions.

We use bitpay.com . It is ridiculously simple and works well.

The point the OP may be getting at, and my personal sentiments, are that if ASIC's exist and perform as advertised it should be more profitable for them to keep them all and mine with them vs. sell them. If its not, that means its not in our best interest to buy them.

Please contact me in private and we'll discuss.

I would be happy to do so if the appropriate person wishes to reach out to me.

Regarding keeping our own Bitcoin, the problem we run into is that banks and investors will not regard BTC as "real money," meaning revenue we earn by BTC that is not "repatriated" does not count as revenue, and impacts our perceived performance. In our current stage of growth this is a very real issue for us.

Good evening, my name is Jeff and I represent Black Lotus. I finally made it out of Newbie purgatory and intend to be a regular on these forums.


I do not know what DDO or Orien is, so I can safely say we have no part in that rant.


Yes, they were. They're with Prolexic now, and probably paying about 10 - 15 times as much as a result 

I would like to address the matter of these "reviews." None of the sites mentioned in this thread are genuine review sites. Anyone who wants to libel a competitor can easily swamp those sites with fabricated reviews without any type of validation or even disclosing their identity. If you do your research, I think you'll find that our reputation is beyond reproach in this industry.

In any case, we're glad to be here and happy to begin accepting Bitcoin. BitPay is doing great work in helping bridge the gap between traditional and alternative currencies, allowing us to venture into this new territory without having to stress over out-exchange.

Do you think the prices will drop? I've worked with ASICs in networking applications, and everything I know about them suggests that they are very expensive.

I would agree that the best practice is to keep your wallet on media not connected to the internet for routine storage (and have backups)

Our company now accepts Bitcoin and I am looking at getting into mining. Your assistance in getting my account whitelisted would be most appreciated.

I would be more concerned about the risk to the hardware. ASIC's are too expensive to play around with like that.

I would like to request a white list. Our company is a security and hosting firm which recently started accepting Bitcoin as payment. Accordingly, we're comprised of crypto experts

That is not exactly true. PayPal will not entertain disputes involving services or pseudo-cash (aka Bitcoin).

Agreed. I'm waiting to see how the ASIC rigs perform before getting into mining.

Alpaca socks? Is that some sort of meme?

We just started using BitPay. I am really impressed with the initial support we received from their CTO and the ease of use concerning initial implementation.

My name is Jeff, I am with Black Lotus. I'm looking forward to participating on these boards as our company recently started accepting Bitcoin as payment.
