Dell now accepts bitcoin in the United States for online purchases of its products. The move is a win for CoinBase, which today on its blog announced that it was the integration partner for the personal computing company.

Overstock.com and online technology marketplace TigerDirect also accept the cryptocurrency.

The price of bitcoin, long a driver of media and public interest in the stuff, has been quieter lately, leading to less commotion regarding the currency. (In fact, there is strong correlation between media interest and the price of bitcoin.)

To spur interest, Dell will sell its gaming-focused Alienware products for a period of time at a 10 percent discount, provided that users make their purchases in bitcoin.

2. Not in my experience

Have you had any Acers or HP's?

And as for this story, everybody thinks they're going to unload this bitcoin fairy-dust 'currency' before the world realizes it's as nonexistent as a Bernie Madoff brokerage account. I think you and I can agree there.
