If you decide to use a logo design with the Facebook logo included, you'll need to receive permission from Facebook first: https://www.facebook.com/brandpermissions/logos.php

Number six in the guidelines suggests that using the Facebook brand will not be approved:

"6.  You may not combine our Brand Assets, or elements of our Brand Assets, with your own name or mark or generic terms."

Sorry to put a damper on the contest, but I thought I'd pass this information on before anyone else includes the Facebook brand in their entries.

I'm guessing "[WTD]" means "wanted"... right?  *iz newb*

I will pay $30 USD for 3 BTC using Payza.  This is my first transaction on here ever and I'm new, so I am willing to send first to a trusted member.

Thank You!

Good points, though you're forgetting Bitcoin's greatest public appeal (which you kind of noted in point number 2): No government or country or state or physical location recognizes Bitcoin.  Therefore, it's untaxable and untouchable and 100% in the control of the Bitcoin owner.  Not only that, but if you take a look at the places you need to go through in order to obtain Bitcoins, you'll notice that Bitcoin is side by side with things like gold and silver, even though it's not a physical entity. 

The similarity between them, however, is that they represent value.  You can't exactly place a gold nugget on the counter of your local grocery store and expect them to take you seriously.  Value is based on what we, as the possessors, place into it.  If we wanted to, we could start trading pocket lint instead of Bitcoins, just as long as we believed there was value in it.  In short, so long as we keep wanting Bitcoins and spreading the Bitcoin love, they'll continue to grow in popularity.  Of course, I would prefer pocket lint because I have an entire closet worth of factories.

No, it still works. His first lesson is before you even make it to the website.  He's using CoinURL, which pays something like 0.001 or BTC per link click.  If you look in the top-right corner you can press "Skip Ad" and move to the blog.

I was trying to be more creative than posting another year, but it seems not much else works :/

Thanks, Meni! I'll check that one out after I've got this Payza thing whipped

@mcriss444: How did you do it?!  I'm still very much lost.

Oooh, okay.  I suppose that makes me both Bitcoin and gambling newb!

I'm not sure I understand what you want us newbs to do

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize that would be helpful, as I was merely trying to empty my Payza account.  I'm in Canada, which seems to be troublesome.

I'm a complete newb in the Bitcoin world and seem to be having a horrible time trying to acquire a few Bitcoins.  I've been searching for hours for a simple way to receive them, but haven't had any success so far.

Being the gullible newb that I am, I ended up opening a Payza account and depositing funds so that I can exchange from Payza to Liberty Reserve and finally to MTGox for a couple of Bitcoins...  Why is this so hard?  After all of the transaction fees, all of my cash will be gobbled up.

Any-who, I think I've finally found a good place to get Bitcoins (Bitcoin-24.com) but still have money in the damned Payza account.  So... on alertexchanger, it says:

From Alert Pay Account:

From Alert Pay Account Name:

To Liberty Reserve Account:

To Liberty Reserve Account Name:

I'll be damned if I could figure this out.  Alert Pay (now Payza) only seems to use your email as the account name/ID er-whatever.  And my Liberty Reserve information keeps coming back negative when I try to continue.  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm only after a few Bitcoins   Why is this so hard?
