Scan accepts BTC?
-
I didn’t know Scan accepted Bitcoin? That’s excellent, buying computer gear with BTC seems like a strong link.
I’ve also dropped them a message saying thanks for supporting BTC and asked if they would also consider Feathercoins.

Just spotted this today too ;D good news!
-
This is cool :)
I see they have chosen BitPay as there payment process, which may limit their adoption of FTC as an alternative.

[/quote]Is there a FTC equivalent to BitPay?
-
It depends what the merchant is after, BitPay gives the option to dump the FIAT out on a daily bases, everything I have seen that gives an option for FTC only pumps out FTC as the transactions are made, without the option for FIAT.
I was thinking about this the other day, as for the smaller retailers this could cause a cash flow problem

-
coinpayments.net -> Cryptsy (set auto sell FTC to BTC) -> auto transfer BTC coinbase/bitstamp -> bank account
-
Interesting. How much would you lose in fees during that lot?
-
For UK merchants I think bitstamp is 2-3 days for a withdrawal - if selling lots of high value goods this could still cause cashflow problems I guess.
I did consider doing ftc -> coinpayments.net -> cryptsy -> bitcoin wallet then “buy” from myself with bitpay and cash out. A lot of hassle though :-[

[/quote]Coinpayments: 0.50% + 0.01000000
Cryptsy: 0.30%
Coinbase: 1%So still less than, say, accepting a credit card through square.

[/quote]And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is what matters, because if you can envision a path there, you can code it, automate it, and reap the reward. This is an opportunity for an entrepreneur waiting to be jumped on.
