Yeah about the visa card from Bitcoin company, I want to add that I was particularly disappointed by their lack of help towards fellow bitcoiners even though I understand they indeed couldn't do more. But all the other services were just nicer and trying harder.

Amazon gift cards are actually some sort of trick, because for some reasons they aren't enforcing those laws and the good thing is that you can top it with a very exact amount. There's even a way to buy bitcoin with them, which would have been a way to get back the "money" with it but I forgot how exactly.

Indeed, getting commerces around you is the best. And same, the chit chat is quite a step. What can be nice could be to print a small prospect with quick info and way to a wallet. What's good to sell the idea to them is that accepting btc is actual free advertizing, since it's in fact a new market that's opening to them, rather than a conversion of their usual income but also because bitcoiners send other bitcoiners there, plus if they get added to btcmaps or other similar services.

Anyhow, wish you (and all of us) good luck .)
