What the Flamin 'Eck is Bitcoin

[HaroldTheBarrel]

Tried to buy a couple of authentic Aspire bits on FT.

i've done this before and it wouldn't accept PP and just defaulted to Credit card. This time though, it only gave me the option of paying by Bitcoin and I couldn't see any way of paying by cc.

i thought Bitcoin was some Weirdy beardy thing that gaming geeks dreamed up but now I find that it's actually being used in the real world. Is there a way around this with FT. I don't really want to have to get some of these Bitcoin things

Pretend cyber money essentially . . . . have a read of this thread for a workaround HaroldTheBarrel.

buy something that equals the value you was gonna spend, then pay for it via PayPal once paid you need to cancel order and pick refund as gift certificate (pretty much instant) once received gift certificate put order for the aspire bits and pay with gift certificate

Job done

I MAY be wrong but I'm pretty sure there's a fake FT site, close down the page you're looking at, then open a new one, type in the FT addy then you should be able to pay via PP. it's happened to me three times in the past fortnight

Bitcoins are a digital currency it is certainly real and there are lots of companies starting to accept bitcoins

Bitcoin is great for getting illegal substances delivered to fields in the middle of nowhere for subsequent collection at a time that suits, or so I'm led to believe !

I've just gone on fasttech and went on an item and it says all the ways you can pay Inc PayPal? Is this happening to you and not letting you pay by PayPal or?

Yes, the PP option is greyed out. Bitcoin only.

I'll try the gift certificate method.

I'm not 100% sure but I think all cancellation refunds are being given in gift certs. I cancelled something, asked for it to go back to PayPal but came back as gift cert. For once I can't see anything I want or need on there
