Entrepreneur Taylor More listed his two-bedroom Alberta bungalow, asking 405,000 Canadian dollars (£261,000; $395,000) - or the equivalent in Bitcoins.

One New Yorker is offering a SoHo pad for sale at nearly $2 million but wants the buyer to pay in Bitcoin.
Are they doing something illegal ?

Based on what? Which crime have I commited?
you live in bristol after all
use OKPay and transfer into MTGOX.
They way I did it and cost me £3 per transfer via Barclays to OKPay Barclays Account in the Caman Island and then to MTGOX. Took about 1 week, but you will need verification done on OKPay and MTGOX which can take a few weeks also.
Oh BTW, there really are some uneducated trolls / fools in this thread.

Get a life or read up on why some non crinimal people are investing in BitCoins and other coins.
Yes. Silly little no life me, purchasing my wares with a recognised currency.
How lifeless of me to make a light joke about it and not to get all riled up and defensive about it.
e: in terms of actual substance, I have read up on this and it has literally been done to death on these forums several times.

So leave this thread, the world doesn't evolve around you or your trolls. You post was pointless and useless to the OP asking a question and served no purpose than to increase your post count and make you feel better for posting crap in the vaque hope of getting a silent chuckle from someone.

Do you even know what a troll is? Seems like everybody these days is accused of being one for making a joke. You're the one goading by making intentionally aggressive remarks - how does that make me the troll?
Why not go and rub one off to ease the tension some?
I don't see what that has to do with anything. I don't live in the USA. By 'recognised' I'm talking about a currency managed by a central bank, traded throughout the world that is legal tender. Bitcoin is neither. :/
Bitcoin is legal tender in some places, such as Germany. The US is still deciding and the UK decided to keep out of the debate for now.
It isn't legal tender in Germany. It's still classified as a financial instrument akin to private money. They are not the same thing.

They said it is private money, and should have the same legal and fiscal rules applied to it that euros do. I don't understand the distinction between that and legal tender
alright mate, chill out. here, have these:

Legal tender is accepted by law. Basically any individual or organisation must accept legal tender, if they do not then in the eyes of the law they are not allowing an individual or organisation to settle their debt. Private money does not have the same standing in the eyes of the law, so whilst people can choose to accept it as a currency, they have no obligation to do so.
So, for example if you had an outstanding debt that you wished to pay off in Bitcoin, your creditor has no obligation to accept it as payment. Now, if you tried to pay off your creditor with Euros and they chose not to accept it, the law suggests they are not allowing you reasonable means to settle your debt.
In a similar vein, Euros are not legal tender in the UK. Airports, Ports and the businesses in the immediate vicinity may choose to accept them as a method of payment, but they have no obligation to. Only Sterling in denominations of 1 pence and upward are legal tender in the UK.
At least, that is my understanding of it.
