Bringing up this older thread because circle.com has just gone live for all. There are no transaction fees (one of the bigger reasons folks said MS via bitcoin would be unfeasible).

Might be a good time to regroup and see if we can make this possible.
Edit: I just checked and the processing fee for CC transactions is 2.90% with Circle. I guess if you are speculating on BTC rising in value, you could net out the fee.
