You plug Bitshares and hope to make it back one day!

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.

 +5% +5% +5%

you certainly know how to drive attention from big players to bitshares...

maybe it's time for a marketing delegate proposal also  ;)   :P

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.
