Title: [2014-08-16] Dish Paid in Bitcoin by Filmmakers to Promote Documentary About Bit Post by: zakoliverz on August 16, 2014, 04:30:43 AM http://variety.com/2014/digital/news/dish-paid-in-bitcoin-by-filmmakers-to-promote-documentary-about-bitcoin-1201283890/
This week, Dish accepted Bitcoin as payment from Austin and Beccy Craig, who produced and star in indie documentary “Life on Bitcoin,” covering the first 101 days of their marriage paying exclusively for products and services with Bitcoin. The docu does not currently have any distribution partners. The Craigs, who live in Provo, Utah, signed up for the Dish America’s Top 250 package, with 290 channels, priced at $79.99 per month. That’s the equivalent of 0.163137 in Bitcoin as of Friday afternoon, per exchange website CoinDesk. (That excludes set-top/DVR fees and other charges.) |
