Title: [2014-04-03] Chicago SunTimes Becomes First Major US Newspaper to Accept Bitcoin Post by: pabloangello on April 03, 2014, 06:00:03 PM http://www.coindesk.com/chicago-sun-times-becomes-first-major-us-newspaper-accept-bitcoin/
Quote Following its successful test with bitcoin micropayments provider BitWall back in February, the Chicago Sun-Times has announced that it has partnered with San Francisco-based bitcoin startup Coinbase to accept bitcoin payments. That test saw the newspaper receive more than 700 bitcoin donations over a 24-hour trial period in support of the non-profit Taproot foundation, which offers pro-bono service work to organisations tackling social problems. The announcement makes the Sun-Times the first US newspaper to accept bitcoin as a payment option, a move that editor in chief Jim Kirk indicated was in line with its digital-first promotional strategy.

That is a good sign. Are they using Bitpay? The only reason people are scared of volatility is because they haven't seen a market that hasn't been manipulated before, that's my theory, they could be using anything these days, lots of new payment processors popping up. |
