Title: Pay your bills in canada with bitcoin
Post by: techstorm2 on January 21, 2014, 01:27:28 PM
Found this on coindesk, this will be amazing if we can get it in other countries, Id certainly use it in the UK.

Canada seems to be leading the way in terms of bitcoin innovation.

Every step toward making BTC more popular is a good step. Is it proof of Canada accepting Bitcoins? Governments do not like cryptocurrencies. I would use it in Poland also.

Really good idea, and nice site design. Id definitely use this too. In the UK, we don't really have anything that just keeps all bills in one place, so even that would be a step forward!

I don't think it will be available in Germany soon since German state is skeptical against alternative payment methods.

I crossed my fingers and waiting for good news ;) BTCBTCBTC

please remember to post your experience, delay, etc.  By the way, they mention the price is valid for 15 minutes but they want 5 confirmations - so the price will always fluctuate as 5 confirmations almost always take over 15 min??

You U.S.A. people can use www.joinsnapcard.com (http://www.joinsnapcard.com) to pay your bills too.  :)

I've used their services several times to order virtual goods and their service is awesome.

Awesome discovery!  Thanks so much.  I only have a few bills to pay but I'll definitely give it a try.

Nice. What Bitcoin rate did you get? Any fees?

0.0851 BTC which is 69.44$ + 3$ fee

I believe rate was about 850$ which was the current price on cavirtex when I did the payment

Note that it is Canadian dollar ($850 CAD / around $765 USD) - looks like their rate is linked to cavirtex which is in general on the low side; but the key is the service works.

Canada are the first to do it but hopefully other countries will follow this amazing step forward.

Wow, and their office is a twenty minute walk from my home... Cool!

I don't know if I'll personally be using this service, especially since I will probably be moving away within the next couple of months, but kudos to the new site!

I love Canada, thinking about moving there.

If I had the money I would consider moving there too just because you can pay your bills with Bitcoin.

Depending on where you move in Canada, whether you can pay them with BTC or not, some of your bills will be drastically higher than elsewhere in the world for the same service. Read up on it... :)

Also, our income tax is crazy high; especially in Quebec.

They seem to have suspended their service?  The maintenance page has been up for over a day.

The value of the Canadian Dollar has been dropping quite sharply lately.  It'll be great when I go there next on holiday, but it'll suck for the people living there.  I expect to see a rise in the rate of Bitcoin adoption if that trend continues:  http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/falling-loonie-means-just-more-milking-of-canadian-consumers-neil-macdonald-1.2513237

I'd definitely say we are.  First ever atm in Vancouver, another opened in Toronto a few weeks back. More and more companies are taking Bitcoin here everyday.

It's really cool to see it take off here. Some are saying that Canada will be the Silicon Valley of Bitcoins.

*edit* apparently there is an atm in Ottawa as well.

I know the guy who started this. Very smart guy who works out of the Bitcoin Embassy in Montreal.
