Post by: doof on February 19, 2015, 10:38:17 AM
I am very please and excited to announce that the Dymocks book store at Carindale, Brisbane, Australia are now accepting bitcoin.  A small but very important step in getting "high street" retailers to a accept bitcoin.

Dymocks.com.au are a pretty well known retailer, so this will be a great client to show case to other potential merchants.

Why mixed? It's great news.

You can't expect retailers to keep the coins after a completed sale. Volatility is too heavy for that.

Perhaps the time will come that they see the benefit of keeping the coins instead of using a third party to convert everything.

Exactly right. Serious businesses are not going to stupidly "invest" in bitcoin the way so many individuals do. When I work with businesses I always recommend using a payment processor rather than directly managing coins. This is the model that works for them.

Thank you for sharing this news!
For ''brighter'' future of bitcoin we need more such good news.
Until this happen, average potential users will mostly see bitcoin as investment, not like ''real'' money.
We really need a lot ''big'' merchants in order to finally become mainstream.
