We don't take anyone's suggestions lightly. Mostly because they're generally really good suggestions, to be honest, and this is no exception!

I'm also a fan of BitUSD and the whole BitShares thing, but I don't have any info on future support unfortunately. I've seen this company do some pretty amazing stuff though so I wouldn't put anything past 'em.

You should be asking Dell to refund you about $1200 for that laptop.... :P

I can't find the laptop I had picked out now, and it is hit or miss with the agent you get in the Chat.  Don't even thing about talking to Dell if you have a Bitcoin payment problem.  They are clueless and just want to transfer people around in a circle (very unprofessional).  Coinbase is at least responsive, but now they need to take responsibility and fix there payment system.  I would hint that BitUSD is low hanging fruit when you consider what BitShares went through to actually make it work.  All they have to do is use it...

I finally decided to get a really good laptop because I need to demo a BTS/BitUSD web project in a few weeks in Virginia.  It would also help to get something faster to build the code too.  This is pushing my time-line  >:(.

You made a great case for bitUSD... their mistake cost you not only time but $180! With bitUSD, it would have only been the time and inconvenience.
