Bitcoin Forum

Rather than trying to get the large established payment processors such as paypal to accept bitcoin we should focus on ones that are coming to market as they might accept bitcoin in order to get more customers.

Here is one I discovered is in pre release called paybox -http://www.paybox.me/r/bitcoinmedia (http://www.paybox.me/r/bitcoinmedia)

Link fixed for smoketoomuch.

Here is another one for your watchlist - SelfBank https://www.selfbankmobile.com/index.php (https://www.selfbankmobile.com/index.php)

Hmm, why does this look like a scam to get you to fill surveys and they get paid for it? I mean, $50 for anyone + $5 a day + $5 per referrel *but* the $ does not mean dollar, it is just a virtual representation of nothing. Sure, bitcoins are nothing too, but these guys do specify you can't exchange these for anything, nor will you be able to anytime soon. Also, they have web developers on call if something is messy with the site, but no code developer to help if the internal transfer is not working? wtf? Are they not in development?

I think its because they are in pre launch and testing mode. I thought it might be good to contact developers of new products before they came to the market.

I fully understand that, I know what it means to be in pre launch mode, but I'm just collecting the pieces... why the surveys to keep the account active? And more to the point, why only webdevelopers are available for feedback from early birds? Just makes no sense to me, really, but I'm a known and registered paranoid, guess I could be searching for something to complain about.

The surveys are applicable to paybox developments and are intended for paybox users to give their ideas, suggestions and feedback about paybox services. You don't have to complete any surveys if you don't want to but you will still earn, they are paying you to be active on the site and to login each day and to refer other to earn. So far the developments are going good they have very informative road map which discloses the latest developments and updates associated paybox and they also send out regular updates of their latest features integrated into their platform. Paybox have now implemented member to member transfers into their system so now all earlybird users are able to transfer funds to one and another. Paybox will roll out more features over the coming weeks and months.

There should be a suggestion survey there for suggested features. Just fill out you want them to accept bitcoin as a payment method.

Why don't you tell us about your referral link behind that bit.ly ? ...

Already done my friend  ;)


You can use mine if you like  ;) http://www.paybox.me/r/ivest

No, I would have clicked it anyway and I don't have a problem with using someone's referal link if he or she is the person that showed me the thing, but hiding a referal link triggers a feel of "bad intention" in me..

Just be open and honest, like bitcoin is :P

My apologies.I fixed it for you. Some people dont like affiliate links on their forum.

It is actually just a way of advertising, if they want to compete with services like paypall, moneybookers,etc. they need active users, they get new users with the referral bonuses and by paying them a small amount to be active (that's why you got to login minimal 1 time every 2 days). They than can convince companys to accept paybox as an payment method with statistics of a large active usersbase.

The surveys are usefull for the further development of paybox.
So instead of paying an extern advertising and research bureau, they pay the users. It seems a lot that they pay, but if they would pay for traditional advertising and an extern firm to get those survey results they probably would pay more for an active user and the surveyresults.

And it's not a bad idea of noagendamarket, convincing new company's like this one to accept bitcoin will be alot easier than something like paypall. And if in the worst case scenario it is a scam or they won't accept bitcoins, we didn't lose anything. If they do accept bitcoins we can only profit from it (and we even got some bucks to put in the bc economy if we change the $ for btc :D)

i fully agree to the topic, but paybox.me looks scammy to me.
my account will be inactive pretty quick, i guess,  :D
i'd even delete it right now, but i couldnt find an option todo so.

Can you sent me your 50$ then, just in case it isn't a scam  :P
Username there is the same as the one I have here  :D

How much you made so far?

if that's already possible, i would.
but i doubt that, else i'm just gonna create a few hundreds of accounts.  :D

update:
done, good luck

Made $62.07 and sended $1 as a test so at the moment I have $61.07.

If they stick with the planning I can (hopefully) convert those to btc next year in December.  :P

aah, now i got it, it's not USD, its PBD.  ;)
anyway, i sent you my 50whatever$ and 2.21 i "earned" today.

Received it, sended you a btc donation, so at least 1 person earned something with it :P

yup, they're worthless  :P

lol any takers?

http://www.paybox.me/blog/ (http://www.paybox.me/blog/) things seem to be coming along and they might be having a prize contest?

In truth the more competition there is for paypal the better for consumers. Keep submitting answers to their surveys with bitcoin mentions!

This survey is the one where you can mention bitcoin
 The Perfect Online Payment Processor http://www.paybox.me/opinion-surveys.php?id=00005 (http://www.paybox.me/opinion-surveys.php?id=00005)


They also have a job section in case you are looking-
http://www.paybox.me/jobs-employment.php?id=j0004 (http://www.paybox.me/jobs-employment.php?id=j0004)

I filled in the survey mentioned by noagendamarket with my view of the perfect payment processor, and offcourse mentioned bitcoins. :)

If enough people do this, we make a good change they accept them and like noagendamarket said, the more competition for paypall the better and if we can get one to accept us the rest will follow eventually :)

there is a survey ?

Yes there are a few surveys. The one Im talking about asks you for feedback on the ultimate payment processor.

where to take part ?

If youre signed in you can use this link to find it I think.

This one is coming soon-

https://www.selfbankmobile.com/index.php (https://www.selfbankmobile.com/index.php)

This looks pretty interesting (in the US):  http://www.paynearme.com/
Print out a payment slip on a website, walk into a store and finalize payment in cash, website merchant gets immediately notified.

From their Terms of Service:  "Please do not confuse our PayNearMe payment service with use of a credit card, debit card or pre-paid/loaded card. There is no extension of credit. And since there is no credit extended, there is no ability to challenge or cancel the transaction through a chargeback procedure."

Although it is US only, afaict, if someone is willing to accept PP from us not US based but with good rep (or wire, but I'm assuming 0% fee personal PP transfer from PP balance) and convert to this with a fee, or the other way around, I'm certainly interested in seeing it supported.

http://www.ukash.com/au/en/home.aspx (http://www.ukash.com/au/en/home.aspx)




These are all possible ways to expand the service.

https://www.moneypak.com/ Can be used online to reload prepaid debit cards OR load onto Paypal.

Paypal without the chargeback ;)

Oh Nice! These payment methods would be great integrated into one website which let people sell their bitcoins. They could get the cash out using paypal....and the site would get cash in via these methods to stop chargebacks.

*pokes mt gox

Just discovered this from paybox-

http://www.paybox.me/shop/index.php (http://www.paybox.me/shop/index.php)

Looks like a classifieds site for spending paybox.me dollars ?   :)

Would anyone sell paybox dollars for bitcoins or vice-versa?

I was thinking about this too,  ;)

I would buy bitcoins for paybox dollars, just not the other way around.  :)

Deal!  :D   Where do I send the coins?
I just want to say Im the first to buy paybox cash with bitcoins lol.

They have a new competition to design a debit card http://www.paybox.me/debit-cards/ (http://www.paybox.me/debit-cards/)

   1. $1,000 prize to the user with the top voted design.
   2. $100 prize for voting. Improve your chances with each vote.


Perhaps one of the graphic designers on this forum could come up with something and we could all vote for their design?

This looks like an advertising of a scam site.
