This gives me an idea for a long term SN reporting project. A phone call or email to every business listed on BTC maps. Asking just a few questions like:
Do you accept bitcoin?
did you know you are hosted on BTC maps?
If no to question one, are you interested in accepting bitcoin?
Any question suggestions for this short survey?
It would be cool to compile long term results for this and start to develop some stats based on geographical locations
When you guys orange pill a coffee shop, do you go down the SoV route or the recieve Bitcoin and spend it on the business as a circular economy?
When orange pilling a small business in the farmers market or a coffee shop there's one huge advantage over the case your described here. Transaction fees. Most high volume low margin merchants light up when you tell them that accepting bitcoin is free and that fees are the burden of the sender. That's generally my shoe in. The rest comes later.
All you have to do is ask \ stacker news
All you have to do is ask - an update \ stacker news
In these two posts I answer all of your questions here :)
The if the merchant is using the square terminal to generate a lightning invoice then the sender may use any lightning wallet. They don't need to have cashapp themselves. If you want to pay with bitcoin, you'll have to ask of course. It's only awkward if you make it awkward however :)
Very cool! Is there a time frame you'd like us to adhere to? Or since this is a long going project, if it takes me until past May to post, I'll just be among the June posts? :o
Ill comparison because those numbers are directly proportional to money and effort going into marketing not because everyone is dying for seedless bitcoin custody. I won't go as far as saying this is an attack (yet) but surely you see the danger in thousands being unable to simply move their seed into some other open source option if need be? This to me seems like yet another way to cajole the masses into a pin that locks from the outside. It's dangerous.
Ok seems I copied and pasted the first youtube link during a commercial so that's Annoying and embarrassing.
There will be a ton of friction man. General awareness is very low and there will be many more disappointments than success stories like this one for some time. But trying is so important. We must try. If you think bitcoin really is a better monetary network than alternatives, then share your opinions to these merchants. Just finding a single one to start helps a lot.
I can't really see a downside of another/more implementations. More choice and more competition breaks up the current dichotomy we are dealing with. More choice = more power to the pleb imo and that's what he says in his post, ay?
Oh wow it's cool to see 9:30 club mentioned here I just recently saw Atmosphere there! I was visiting about a month ago and took the opportunity to go. Cool venue.
Nicely written from yourself it was refreshing compared to your harsh style of posting I see often from you. Crazy you're still getting downzapped so hard. Thank you for this.
And what of your bowels? How has your poop changed? I like to eat clean but I love veggies. I can't really imagine not eating them. A common meal for me is a huge bowl of ground beef but I'll cook mushrooms and carrots and brocolli with onion and garlic in butter before the beef goes into the pan. I just can't imagine my bowels being happy with only meat.
for @k00b also
https://www.americascardroom.eu also. I remember back in the day to withdraw I would have a check mailed to me from some polish bank. it would take so long that the second you got it you had to cash or deposit it immediately because it would expire soon.
they’ve accepted bitcoin for a long time now , on chain only, and the deposit/withdraw phases are so smooth now.
also https://swcpoker.club they even denominate their chips in bitcoin! Your stack their on the site is subject to bitcoin price action. ACR however they just convert to USD right when you deposit
What about adding an option mid game for the players to stake some sats for the game?
I think it'd be so fun to match someone equal to your rating and ask to stake 100 sats on the game. And perhaps if there's a rating disparity there could be odds given . . . but that would incentivize sand bagging . . which is bad
When the merchant goes to finalize the transaction they click checkout every time. Then they're given options to select cash or credit. Bitcoin is added to that list too. So if you're asking for the merchant to check if they do all you have to do is tell them it should be on the list after checkout.
