You can still do that, and you don't need a cd key to download.
It's kind of hard to find a link, but it's there. For the record, digitalrivercontent.net is an official MS CDN:

We have left the gold standard. Gold still exists and is still in limited supply, but is no longer disastrous.
Meant to use a mu-sign, as in uBTC. Slashdot didn't want me to.
It was disastrous because the economies were pegged to the gold prices. Nobody wants to peg the dollar to bitcoin, because Bitcoin is simply a commodity, just like gold (today), oil, Apple stock or minerals.
And Nobody* suggests linking Bitcoin to any currency.
People already pay mining fees, typically 0.0005BTC / transaction. Right now you get about 0.1 BTC in mining fees from a block, and 50 BTC from the built-in reward (which functions a a way of distributing bitcoin initially). As the reward halves every 4th year and number of transactions supposedly rises, a higher percentage of a miners income will stem from tx fees.
You can make a transaction without paying a fee, but not all miners will include your transaction in their block, and thus your transaction may take a long time to be confirmed.
Sure, you could, but it is less than one per person, the initial complaint.
I still don't see why it matters. Why can't we use BTC?
Gold is finite in supply, too. Why isn't that disasterous?
Nobody* is suggesting we get rid of the dollar, just use Bitcoin as any other trade-able commodity.
"Completed" means doing all achievements, not "playing through the story". To me it seems quite natural that if it's the story that carries a game, people are not going to play through it multiple times to unlock every achievement.
But wouldn't you lose most of whatever you used to take down the market?
You still need someone to sell it TO. Also, why doesn't this apply to any other valuable?
