Bitpay hasn't worked for me in months. No "send to" address displays in the payment form.

Is it like this for everyone? I never really thought about it. Beginning to wonder now, though.

 ???

Same for me.

I didn't complete a purchase the other day with SmokeCartel because of this :(.

I believe that it's the same for everyone. They have a new "Send" system through a referal link, not mail. The QR code is also with referal link, i already tried.
You have to open an account to them or have a compatible wallet with their system to scan the code. At the moment, the only one i can find is Copay.

By the way this system is one of the worse i seen to send BTC...

The answer is in this thread:

(You need to hack the payment URL and then extract the payment address and amount.)

Electrum understands the "payment protocol" faux-URL.

So stupid.

Here is how I use Bitpay now that they made their system unpayable.

1.  Open invoice and see it's Bitpay.
2.  Close Bitpay invoice window.
3.  Choose a different service that doesn't use Bitpay or just use a credit card.
