Title: Merchants who uses bitcoins for non-illicit goods
Post by: SandStorm on May 27, 2013, 06:19 pm
I'm a bit curious about this. Since I believe sites like silkroad is making the foundations of bitcoin trade. Therefore I would like to be able to buy legal stuff with my bitcoins to, so that this currency will grow strong among regular retailers.

I believe this will help anonymize the vendors here on silkroad if bitcoin becomes something that is used to buy and sell all kinds of stuff.

So do anyone know sites that sell cool things for bitcoins?

Their is a vendor here who offers us the ability to shop anywhere we want using our bitcoins. It is listed in the services category. I have not personally used it but I know one person who did use it and said they would use them again.

As far as clearnet shopping it is limited to date, but it will grow overtime.

That list is quite lacking considering 10,000+ people start accepting bitcoins a month.  Regardless, you can buy anything with bitcoins using bitspend.net

I've been there, but the problem is that there are to many and few good sites since it basically just list any merchant who accepts bitcoins.

But bitspend seems like something I have to check out :)
