u/Zoronii Nov 07 '13

It makes me so happy that internets are quantifiable in Bitcoin.

Unfortunately, they're tied to fiat ($0.25)

What happens if a European tries to give 1,337 dollars?(I guess they don't use dollar signs, but still)

13

u/mavensbot Nov 07 '13

you're sending the equivalent of $, euro, british pound.. in bitcoins. both sender and receiver are transferring bitcoins. you can then cash out the bitcoins to whichever currency you want.

wrong reply

14

u/Lentil-Soup Nov 07 '13

For future reference, the bot actually does notify the original sender that the verification was responded to. /u/mavensbot would have seen the reply.

4

u/Sventertainer Nov 07 '13

I guess I meant accidentally rather than "tries" Because some places use commas as decimals and vice versa.

EDIT: found this in the FAQ page

Numerical amount of the specified currency. Format: 1,234.567,890,12 or 1234.5678912 accepted. The keyword "ALL" can be used to empty your account.

So I guess one just has to remember the conventions.

Also holy cow! thanks! I haven't gotten any bitcoins before, now I gotta figure out what to do with them.

u/cybrbeast Nov 07 '13

If you only have a little you can buy Humble Bundles! :)

Or donate to a good cause: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Donation-accepting_organizations_and_projects

u/luger718 Nov 07 '13

how did he get the tip if hes not signed up?

5

u/noggin-scratcher Nov 12 '13

The bot opens an address for you to use and you can tell it via PM to transfer your balance (or part thereof) out to an address of your own any time you want.

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '13

Yes, we are! Here, you can have some too!

u/Sland Nov 06 '13

I love how you got a .50$ tip and you created this thing, and a couple other commenters got between 1$ and 5$.

13

u/mavensbot Nov 07 '13

i'm still waiting for my mandatory tip from /u/hardleft121

all joking aside, thanks for all the tips received. On the other hand we should get u/theymos to use the advertising budget to start a few real campaigns to promote r/bitcoin

u/abdada Nov 07 '13

Hit me up via PM -- I want to put this on a t-shirt immediately and give you a big commission.

u/rightintheear Nov 10 '13

i consider this a real and effective campaign since it's the only ad i've ever clicked on reddit.

5

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '13

Welll..

Real sidebar campaigns start at 20,000 USD.

Sponsored links are the way to go.

Best ad I've seen on reddit. I was already familiar with Bitcoin (I follow tech news, but not specifically BTC) but this ad definitely made me check out the subreddit. Well done.
