Title: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: btctalk on October 23, 2014, 12:30:40 AM http://blog.theshayan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/10173556_664898116878813_57102845221628895_n.jpg Café Aunja – 1448 Sherbrooke West Quote CAFÉ AUNJA: WHERE IT ALL BEGAN It’s around a cup of coffee that My Dear Montréal was born. A warm ambiance, a vintage decor, a welcoming staff and a lulling melody; we almost feel like home. Café Aunja offers a healthy menu that changes at the whim of the seasons, refreshing drinks and a large variety of oriental tea. Grade: 9/10 - MY DEAR MONTRÉAL (http://mydearmtl.com/2014/09/07/cafe-aunja-where-it-all-began) Cafe Aunja (http://fb.com/cafeaunja) is the first and only cafe in Montreal that accepts Bitcoin, located at 1448 Sherbrooke West (Google Map (https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Cafe+Aunja/@45.49778,-73.580298,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x4cc91a6aa10b0933:0xdf1f68b5a7781615)), Downtown, Montreal. This place best described by Google: “Cozy basement-level Persian tea & coffee spot offering sweets, art on the walls & live music.” Also there is a 10% discount if you pay by bitcoin :) Quote “Everything about his place makes you want to loose track of time and wonder about the meaning of life (until you find it). The front space welcomes a new exhibition or performance every other day, while the back end, filled with a large couch, is a cosy haven for the intellect at work. Should you need a little dose of caffeine to keep up with conversation, Cafe Aunja has you covered with over 60 varieties of dried flowers and teas to mix into your very own hot drink. Every teapot is served with a few Persian chickpea cookies (Nan-e Nokhodchi) that literally melt in your mouth. So really, you have no reason to leave.” – MTL Food Snob (http://mtlfoodsnob.wordpress.com/2014/02/09/montreal-cafe-aunja-persian-nights-meet-le-plateau-in-the-heart-of-downtown) More Reviews and pictures: - Yelp Cafe Aunja (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/cafe-aunja-montr%C3%A9al-2) - Introspective Eater - Chill artsy downtown cafe (http://introspective-eater.com/2013/11/24/chill-artsy-downtown-cafe/) - Cafe Aunja Instagram Page (http://instagram.com/cafeaunja) - Have your Coffee with Bitcoin #MTL (http://blog.theshayan.com/2014/10/23/have-your-coffee-with-bitcoin/) Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: knight22 on October 23, 2014, 12:38:29 AM Neat!

Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: btctalk on October 23, 2014, 06:06:27 PM Neat! Did you convince them yourself? The owners are pretty open to new ideas and they were really excited about the idea when I told them. All the work has been done by me, hopefully I would get some feedback to make the backend system more efficient :) Very very good news. I wish that many people will pay using bitcoin and not FIAT currency ! is the first of all montreal cafè? Yes, the first cafe in montreal that accepts bitcoin and also in Quebec province. I did a quick research and couldn't find one in the whole eastern Canada. Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: Daniel91 on October 23, 2014, 06:23:25 PM Neat!

I'm planing to open a caffe in Belgrade, we have a restaurant where you can pay with BTC but not a caffe like this. I think it would be brilliant, because there is actually a lot of people from Belgrade that are using BTC. What do you guys think? Any experience with caffe where you can pay with btc? Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: ytr8 on October 24, 2014, 01:57:18 AM More and more business begin to accept bitcoins, but why the bitcoin prices are falling?
Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: Victoo on October 24, 2014, 01:16:03 PM More and more business begin to accept bitcoins, but why the bitcoin prices are falling? It is still too far from having enough merchants. Price is falling because still no certainty that governments will accept it or ban it. Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: SFMiner on October 24, 2014, 06:05:00 PM Great news, and congrats on getting them up and running with Bitcoin!
I'll definitely check it out soon... Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: allthingsluxury on October 24, 2014, 07:14:36 PM Great job and keep it up! Good to see more and more small businesses accepting BTC!
Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: btcrich on October 24, 2014, 07:51:27 PM Great work!
Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: btctalk on October 24, 2014, 09:55:50 PM Nice! I'm planing to open a caffe in Belgrade, we have a restaurant where you can pay with BTC but not a caffe like this. I think it would be brilliant, because there is actually a lot of people from Belgrade that are using BTC. What do you guys think? Any experience with caffe where you can pay with btc? There are some small issues that need to be fix. the main one would be a faster way to verify if the transaction is confirmed or if it's broadcasted to the network, it's not realistic to wait 10,15 minutes (yet only for 1 confirmation) to pay for a cup of coffee. There's this trade off of time vs. security, you either should trust the broadcast (unconfirmed transaction) or wait for the first confirmation. I'm researching different methods of fast verification and this is a great experience to see how each one works out in real life situations. Another issue is privacy that you should not reuse one address for all your transactions. The other challenge would be the security of private keys that I assume I've overcome this with some basic cryptography. and also it's always possible to get a 3rd party like bitpay to go through all this trouble, but I prefer to have everything on my own hands, even if there would be any blames (hopefully not) :) More and more business begin to accept bitcoins, but why the bitcoin prices are falling? Victoo is right on this, and also most of the ups and downs in bitcoin prices are basicly the changes in supply and demand (bid/ask) in the market. we have a long way to stabilize this with the number of merchants that accept bitcoin. Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: jennifer21 on October 28, 2014, 03:13:34 PM I hope every Cafe in the world accepts bitcoin too.
Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: yayayo on October 28, 2014, 03:28:50 PM Neat. Looks like a cozy place!
What worries me a bit are reports by a few people (recently on reddit) that some of the places that once did accept Bitcoin are no longer doing it due to lack of demand and complexity. It seems that some businesses just took the opportunity for some cheap advertising... I hope this place will continue to accept BTC even if it will take time for real demand to establish. We need more of the smaller and medium businesses to accept bitcoin, because those are the real backbone of the economy. ya.ya.yo! Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: mullerdan on October 29, 2014, 01:55:09 PM Congratulations! its a really great new!
Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: fredthegambler on October 29, 2014, 03:32:11 PM Yes! Happy to hear that Canadians are accepting btc with open arms.
Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: 1Referee on October 29, 2014, 06:35:43 PM I wish we had some places like that here where I could actually spend some Bitcoins.
Looking forward to see more Bitcoin accepted here logos on store windows ;D Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: Madness on October 29, 2014, 06:47:11 PM You convinced them by your self ? Good job mate ;D I wish everyone do the same in his area

We need more of the smaller and medium businesses to accept bitcoin, because those are the real backbone of the economy. ya.ya.yo! regarding Cafe Aunja, as I'm maintaining their bitcoin payment I will do my best to have it available as long as possible, I made the interface really simple and made HowTo catalogues for new employees so it wouldn't be too complex for those who does not know what bitcoins are or how to accept them and suchs. Hope it works out :) I'm also working on the the payment system to have it as a framework for easy implementation on other places, if any. btw there is a 10% discount if you pay with bitcoin :) Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: TwaiteTokyo on October 30, 2014, 01:40:40 AM I want to know what they received is btc or fiat
Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: fa on October 30, 2014, 02:28:31 AM That's nice news. Only hope my local Café offers the same payment method.
How many btc accepted recently? Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: bitkilo on October 30, 2014, 05:07:11 AM Take note Australian cafes, we need more of you to start accepting bitcoin.
Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: BigBill on October 30, 2014, 10:13:18 AM This is very good news that even a small cafe wants to accept bitcoin.
Every single step is important for the development of infrastructure bitcoin. Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: tanaka on October 30, 2014, 01:08:48 PM I hope more establishment in asia will accept btc as a mode of payment
Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: btctalk on October 30, 2014, 06:03:32 PM I want to know what they received is btc or fiat They're receiving BTC but with an option to cash out whenever they like to, so basically btc. That's nice news. Only hope my local Café offers the same payment method. How many btc accepted recently? it's like asking your local cafe how much cash they earned this week :) Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: bornil267645 on October 30, 2014, 06:15:40 PM I just can't get enough of the line that says, "Bitcoin Is Accepted Here". It's like my four favorite words. And bravo to the cafe. 8)
Title: Re: The first Montreal Cafe to accept Bitcoin Post by: btctalk on November 09, 2014, 02:08:01 AM That's nice news. Only hope my local Café offers the same payment method. How many btc accepted recently? There was a quite good turn out, more than what I expected. :) |
