Easily sign up at https://ecash.io/merchants/register

Using our service, any merchant can accept BTC. Merchants within the European Union can also receive EUR payouts (after basic KYC).

The merchant API offers a Hosted Payment Page for Bitcoin, which includes an automated currency conversion from over 50 currencies worldwide. Sell in EUR, GBP, USD or any other currency. Your clients pay in Bitcoin. Verified merchants selling in EUR may also receive weekly EUR payouts.

European merchants can sell in EUR and receive the same amount in EUR. The Bitcoin is exchanged behind the scenes.

24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Proposal for "eCash" Ripple fork - your opinion needed on: May 24, 2014, 10:23:21 PM
Hi,

I've been following the recent fallout happening over at Ripple. The original founder of Ripple, Jed McCaleb, is threatening to dump his 9 billion XRP stash, which could clear the entire orderbook. It appears to be a threat to force the other founders, now CEO Chris Larsen and Arthur Brito, to return their ~11 billion to the OpenCoin foundation responsible for distributing the remaining 80 billion or so.

Not only has Jed left Ripple to work on his "secret Bitcoin project", Kraken CEO Jesse Powell has also left the Ripple board as of yesterday.

Jesse left an interesting comment at Reddit,
http://www.reddit.com/r/Ripple/comments/26ccz3/ripple_board_member_resigns/chpwhbs

With the Ripple being open source, he wonders why there hasn't been a Ripple fork yet. Jesse jokes about a Dogecoin Ripple fork, which, if equally popular, could kill Ripple. The point is that anyone can start a company like Ripple.

Ripple can be divided into two camps, as best described in another Reddit comment,
http://www.reddit.com/r/Ripple/comments/26ccz3/ripple_board_member_resigns/chpxxbr

Camp 1: A bottom-up approach: "Everybody can be their own little bank in their own little community." - a digital Hawala system, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawala
Camp 2: A top-down approach: "Let's get banks on board so many people can use Ripple right away." - SWIFT 2.0

Ripple's leadership is pursuing the top-down approach to sign up financial institutions like German Fidor AG. But Ripple's inventor, Ryan Fugger, preferred a grassroots bottom-up approach, but failed to gain momentum. http://www.reddit.com/r/Ripple/comments/26ccz3/ripple_board_member_resigns/chpuhok

Is now the right time to attempt the original Ripple idea? How does the Bitcoin community feel about bootstrapping a bottom-up Ripple fork, with fairly distributed coin. Me and my co-founder working at eCash in Amsterdam might consider pitching such an idea to investors in Europe. We would call it eCash. ("eCash" was originally invented in Amsterdam by David Chaum, visionary cryptographer. )

However, my most urgent concern is whether the Ethereum protocol is already superior to Ripple, or not? And where does PaySwarm by Manu Sporny from the W3C organization fit in? https://web-payments.org/




25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple going up again on: May 21, 2014, 03:50:58 PM
The Ripple approach is to get financial institutions to adopt Ripple. Bank customers won't even notice the difference if their USD accounts are hosted on Ripple's protocol.

That's the way to get mainstream adoption. Bitcoin can't replicate that approach. If you were a bank, would you adopt Bitcoin or Ripple? Once banks adopt Ripple, it becomes mainstream by default.
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple going up again on: May 21, 2014, 03:47:05 PM
Duh, after crashing for months. Ripple isn't an altcoin, and it is a scam Smiley

And AFAIK none of the lawsuits have been successful so far.  So why lose 2.5% extra when selling to get a currency which they have problems delivering?  This just doesn't make sense to me.  EUR should be just as good as USD, and more liquid.  JPY even better.  So why USD?
And btw, I received an EUR (SEPA) withdrawal today.  If you are going to sell anyway, this is a way of getting your funds out as fiat without paying money to an expensive law firm.  Works for those who doesn't have enough in their MtGox account to be interesting as well.

Great idea, if the price goes back up on Mt.Gox, I'll sell for fiat and withdraw using SEPA.

31  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANN] eCash.io - Bitcoin cold storage wallet service on: February 11, 2014, 08:54:45 AM
Is your cold storage working similar to trezor wallet ?

In a sense, yes. Private keys are kept offline, but public keys can be generated online. We use a watching-only Bitcoin Armory wallet for this purpose.

Since Trezor will be open source, and Armory will support it, we will also offer linking your Trezor device to eCash.io in the future. (As soon as possible.)

Withdrawals are scheduled at least 6 hours in the future - this gives the opportunity to cancel withdrawals

Does this mean I have to wait 6 hours before my coins come out of cold storage ?

Is your cold storage working similar to trezor wallet ?

Yes, our storage service works like that. The delay allows you to be notified via SMS or email. You can then cancel withdrawals even if your account was hacked.
33  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANN] eCash.io - Bitcoin cold storage wallet service on: February 11, 2014, 08:34:12 AM
Why should people trust someone to store their coins offline?
What is your profit from this project (in % of holding deposits)? I wouldn't trust someone who are holding (for example) 3000BTC without any legal responsibility and making <10 btc monthly profit from it.
What if you will be robed (physically) and your paper wallets will be stollen? What kind of insurance can you offer?


Hi,

building trust remains our priority at the moment. We are having talks with a notary who may keep a copy of the paper wallet/private key in a safe.

Our profits are generated from merchant services built on top of the wallet, i.e. transaction fees. We are currently piloting with hdphns.com, a headphones shop, and appmerce.com, a software plugin shop. Both now accept Bitcoin through our plugin (in private beta).

We will scale up security proportional to the amount of funds stored at eCash.io.

@yelloyello, op dit moment lijkt Bitcoin me moelijk te integreren in bakstenen winkels. Je moet immers minstens 10 minuten wachten op een eerste confirmation in de blockchain. Met Bitcoin een iPad kopen aan de kassa is risicovol. Je kunt eenvoudig een kopie van de transactie naar een grote mining pool sturen, die hem dan eerder ziet, en dan ben je als winkelier je Bitcoins kwijt.

Dus Bitcoin voor POS, point-of-sale aan de kassa, is nog niet handig.

Met eCash.io bedienen we daarom voorlopig online webwinkels. Die krijgen na 10 minuten een eerste bevestiging, en na een uur de definitieve 6 bevestigingen. We raden winkeliers aan pas na 6 bevestigingen producten te verzenden.

Maar het zou inderdaad fantastisch mooi zijn wanneer we gewoon bij de MediaMarkt om de hoek met Bitcoin kunnen gaan betalen. Dan hoef je niet eens meer in de rij voor de kassa te staan. Gewoon met je telefoon betalen en de winkel uitlopen.

35  Local / Nederlands (Dutch) / Re: HDPHNS.com accepteert nu Bitcoin via eCash.io on: February 10, 2014, 03:06:50 PM
Fantastisch.
Ik draai nu een Bitcoin (JSON-RPC), maar deze voldoet niet aan mijn noden...
Hij creëert geen nieuwe valuta, en rekent het euro bedrag op het eind om naar bitcoins die dan naar mijn eigen wallet gestuurd worden.
Alleen wil ik op dit moment (zaak in opstart) nog echt zeker zijn van mijn cash en dus de garantie hebben dat de bitcoins geconverteerd worden naar de euro's die ik ervoor hoor te krijgen.


Creëert jullie app wel een nieuwe valuta om op die manier ook echt in de winkel de btc prijzen te zien? Bij geen van beide voorbeelden kan ik dat nl terugvinden...
Wat zijn de kosten per transactie (als die er zijn)?


Hallo,

we tonen BTC prijzen op de betaalpagina, maar nog niet in de shop zelf. Geverifiëerde winkeliers zullen straks gewoon de prijs in EUR kunnen ontvangen, ongeacht wat Bitcoin doet, dat regelen wij. Het lijkt me wel een goed idee om BTC prijzen ook in de winkel te kunnen tonen.
36  Local / Nederlands (Dutch) / HDPHNS.com accepteert nu Bitcoin via eCash.io on: February 08, 2014, 01:59:20 PM
Beste Bitcoiners,

onlangs zijn we bij eCash.io gestart met een pilot voor winkeliers. We hebben een betaalsysteem voor Bitcoin ontwikkeld die bovenop veilige "cold storage" draait. We gebruiken Bitcoin Armory voor de offline opslag van Bitcoins. Consumenten kunnen bij ons een wallet openen (gratis). Met winkeliers draaien we nu proef met een extensie voor Magento Commerce (zie https://github.com/eCashPayments - work in progress).

De eerste aangesloten winkelier is HDPHNS.com (headphones; koptelefoons), een Nederlandse zaak uit Amsterdam die top koptelefoons en randapparatuur verkoopt. Een andere winkel is software-handel Appmerce.com. Bezoekers kunnen er al met Bitcoin betalen.

We gaan Nederlandse winkeliers direct in EUR uitbetalen. Winkeliers hoeven straks helemaal niet meer met Bitcoin in aanraking te komen. Consumenten betalen in Bitcoin via ecash.io, en wij regelen de conversie. Een winkelier factureert dus gewoon 49,50 EUR en krijgt 49,50 EUR. Bij eCash.io lossen we achter de schermen het wisselprobleem zelf op.

Winkeliers kunnen kiezen om wel Bitcoin te ontvangen, en dan zelf te converten.

Zoals gezegd bieden we ook een veilige wallet aan voor consumenten. Wij regelen de beveiliging en opslag. (De private keys liggen in een kluis.)

We hopen de winkeliersdienst begin maart voor algemeen publiek te lanceren. We zitten nog in de testfase. En we zijn zoals zovele Bitcoinbedrijven bezig met de aanvraag van een licentie bij de Nederlandsche Bank. We houden jullie op de hoogte.

Groeten,
eCash.io

He claims to have worked on a video game as a lead something something at age 17:

Where his name is listed as Dan Hughes.

However, click on his name. That same Dan Hughes also worked on Dj Hero 2 in 2010.

This looks as bad as a nigerian scam. Taking people's money without even posting an address on your website. Even your whois is hidden.

The coins we invest in, still have to be mined, and we are paid 1.111% per day, not all at once!

Haha! What a joke!

There should be crypto-police and these guys should be arrested immediately.
