Just want to say that I've been really excited about bitcoins and I wanted to start an experimental bitcoin business. The process was pretty straightforward: - Think of a name and idea (I thought amazonbitcoins going down was a shame so decided to start another site without trademark issues..) - Download twitter bootstrap (I've never used it before - I'm more of a backend engineer) - Start writing code while reading the docs. (very good docs on bootstrap btw) - Find a merchant account (bitpay took about 5 minutes to get setup) - Ended up developing an entirely static site which has a full end-to-end solution! I'm pretty impressed that bitcoin even allows me to do that. I have a site with a fully integrated payment solution in under one hour. I still haven't figured out how conversions back to USD/EUR would work but I'll get there :) So that's my Show HN for today.
