Title: I just did a great thing! Post by: tiptopgemdotcom on May 09, 2012, 05:57:34 PM So, it is always a hassle to use my credit card to buy things. I live in Thailand but do a good bit of my banking in the states, and banks are always flagging my accounts as "beware"- hence my transactions get held up. Something about charges in southeast Asia that they do not like.
I buy a certain medication online because it is cheapest that way- and usually I can jump through the hoops and get my credit card accepted. I might have to call my bank or whatever. This time I didn't feel like messing with it when my card was declined, and told this company about bitcoin: http://www.theswisspharmacy.com (http://www.theswisspharmacy.com) Well, lo and behold the person I talked to immediately thought it was a good idea and agreed to take my bitcoin payment. Now this is a solid pharmacy- one that I have used before. I know their medications are excellent because if I get a low-dosage capsule I get a headache, and I had that problem with other online pharmacies. At any rate I am hoping that they accept my invitation and that they post here! Please welcome them warmly, and offer help. Bitcoin can be a little confusing at first. I was thrilled that they jumped right in! -Dave Title: Re: I just did a great thing! Post by: alatus on May 09, 2012, 06:06:14 PM Great result! They are certainly welcome!

Post by: tiptopgemdotcom on May 09, 2012, 06:24:55 PM As a small business owner who accepts bitcoin, I want to get as many other merchants into it as possible. Huge companies have resources to deal with dishonest customers, bogus chargebacks, and bank delays. But for small business these things really hurt. I love dealing with CASH.
