I am thinking about adding this currency to Udimi.

Benefit for sellers will be super low or none commissions for payment processing.

Best, Uncle Dimitry.

Ok as I said before this is the going rate for ONE bitcoin $343.18 per bitcoin so I guess out of my league and how does the pay a $20 order or something hmm... ok seen it says a faction of a coin so how will that work I think too confusing or not to pay for items ie solos/adverts here?
added later
Anyway will have a look at other places but as I said pretty expensive...!

You'll need to buy 0.02 BTC if you want to have a solo $10 worth

As long as I don't have to waste my time dealing directly with BTC then I am fine with it. I just want my payment sent to PayPal as always.

Instead of BTC why don't you consider Skril.com . Lots of people like it. BTC is trendy, but low adoption rate, My opinion it is best to keep everything in dollars. It's simple, legal and everyone understands it.

Uncle, I understand it ultimately is to benefit sellers, with reduced or even no commissions for payment processing, but as a buyer, unless the step by step to buy is very simple and "in your face".. I may eventually be turned off by this.
Just my 2 cents..

Yeh hard to obtain these bitcoins(you need a wallet as such too) as can go to bank have a turnaround period to receive too from what I heard.. a lot places sellers have min purchase as well... for me an option is ok if have no other in a squeeze but generally I would use PP and Payza simple the others I have never heard of, but if easy to setup no point in not having the options it's good...

Uncle D, one other aspect of BTC you didn't consider is that Udimi is at HUGE risk for fluctuations in BTC based on your structure.

For example if someone buys a solo 2 weeks out and BTC is trading at $380 and then it is trading at $300 just after solo is completed your liable for that decline. You potentially could loose a lot of money. Likewise you could gain but why take that risk.

Leave BTC to those who want to sell drugs or other elicit items cause there is really no other use for it outside of that. Good credit, a high limit Visa or Amex beat it any day.

Payza, Skrill are all good PayPal alternatives. There is also Google Wallet or even Amazon Payments.

looks like we don't need BTC, but pair alternatives to PayPal.

4 or 5 years ago if you bought $27 worth of Bitcoin I heard it is now worth 850.000. What a turn on investment. Yes I was approached many years ago Turned it down :-(

If it's an option it will be good I think those who like it can use it those who don't use pay pal etc... Just my 2 cents.

I am disappointed by one comment that says bitcoin is for illegal stuff only... Bitcoins are being used by more genuine merchants like Wordpress, TigerDirect, Overstock, etc, but unfortunately, only the bad instances remain in people's mind. How much dollars are transacted in money laundering cases? We ignore it even if its in the news. But when a non-govt non-central-bank based currency gets into dirty use, the whole currency is dirty?

Cant blame the people I guess, we are somehow used to accepting whatever is fed to us via mainstream media.

From a buyers perspective it sounds like to many hoops to jump through to use bit coin. That and i think it is confusing to most on how it works. With that said i like having options. :)
