BIPS to Offer 40,000+ Merchants Using Bigcommerce the Option to Accept Payments in Bitcoinwww.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1ougt2/bips_to_offer_40000_merchants_using_bigcommerce/Copenhagen, Denmark - October 21, 2013 – BIPS, a Copenhagen-based payment processor targeting merchants seeking to accept Bitcoin payments, has announced that it has made integrating with Bigcommerce, a popular e-commerce platform which is used by over 40,000+ merchants worldwide, possible. As of today, any merchant using the Bigcommerce platform will be able to start accepting Bitcoin through BIPS almost immediately simply by creating a BIPS account and adding their BIPS and bank account information to their Bigcommerce profile - no additional setup, installation or coding required. Although not nearly all 40,000 Bigcommerce merchants are expected to start accepting Bitcoin as soon as the option becomes available, this seamless integration will nevertheless dramatically lower the entry barrier for merchants potentially interested in accepting Bitcoin. Many merchants today have no problem with accepting Bitcoin in principle, but simply do not have time to set up a solution, even with the pre-made invoice pages and developer-friendly APIs that Bitcoin payment processors like BIPS provide. Now, however, if a merchant is building their online store on the Bigcommerce platform, they will be able to start accepting Bitcoin in nothing more than the couple of minutes it takes to follow the steps to go through integration process. The full instructions for setting up BIPS integration with one's Bigcommerce account can be found at http://bit.ly/19hB8rPBy accepting Bitcoin, merchants will be able to enjoy all of the benefits that the innovative cryptocurrency offers, including lower fees, no risk of chargebacks, the potential for increased privacy for customers and the ability to accept payments from over 190 countries around the world. BIPS provides a platform that allows merchants to accept Bitcoin with minimal effort and without having to deal with the difficulties of running a wallet on their own server, and its signature feature is that it gives merchants the option of having their Bitcoin earnings immediately converted to any of over 160 local currencies around the world, and deposited in their bank account at the end of each day. BIPS currently serves over 1000 merchants around Europe. "For us, we're not just working for you - this is no passive job - we are on a mission to see our clients succeed beyond their wildest dreams and we still have this year's most intense period ahead of us," says Kris Henriksen, Founder and CEO of BIPS. ### About BIPS Founded in 2011, BIPS provides carrier-grade Bitcoin payment system that allows customers, enterprises and merchants to fully leverage the power of Bitcoin. BIPS’s intelligent suite simplifies, automates and expedites the acceptance of Bitcoin. Media Contacts BIPS, Bitcoin Internet Payment System Media relations, 1-855-ONE-BIPS press(at)bips(dot)me

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1oce66/send_bitcoin_by_sound_waves_point_of_sale_mobile/Accepting Bitcoin at Point of Sale; Mobile Checkout or splitting a dinner bill with a friend in bitcoin has never been easier. No more messing around with trying to take a photo or scanning a QR code, or writing in the Bitcoin address manually on your smartphone. Now by simply allowing your handset to listen to a “Chirp”, all the required information for making the payment to the cashier or bitcoin ewallet is provided in mere second. We here at BIPS are working hard to provide people in all of the world with ever easier methods of accepting Bitcoin as payment. The “proof of concept” of this new system has already been integrated in your Mobile Checkout web application, so if you have a BIPS account try it for yourself today! You will want to use Chrome on desktop and any mobile browser on your smartphone. For receiving the information of the “Chirp” you can try http://chirp.io/ until BIPS official app is ready. For people wanting to see this without having a BIPS account, use Kris Henriksen’s link, https://bips.me/checkout/mobile/cbJust type in the description and amount + currency, and click Checkout. A short “bird song” will be heard, and this is what we use to send the information. The information that is being transferred over sound waves is based on the official Bitcoin URI Scheme, so any existing app out there will be able to implement this and automatically fill out the required fields for making the payment. If you have any questions, or ideas for improvement, feel free to reply here or get in touch with us by https://helpdesk.bips.meRegards BIPS You think this is useful ? We could sure use your upvote, thanks! Regards BIPS

A project I have been working on in my spare time is now complete! BitcoinWiFi HotspotIntroduction 1. User connect to “BitcoinWiFi” and by visiting a website, brings them to a captive portal where it displays. Pay (defined by the operator) Bitcoin for 24 hour, 5 days or 1 month access. 2. User can easily pay by pre-generated QR code or Bitcoin URI. Bitcoin connections on port 8333 is always open, and access are granted to the most popular hosted wallets. 3. To generate QR codes and Bitcoin URIs, the operator can define Invoice API key of their payment gateway in the settings of the BitcoinWiFi unit. 4. The unit features a captive portal, a small web server. By parsing the blockchain for payments the unit opens the internet connection for paying users in real-time. 5. The operator have the possibility of receiving the payment directly to their bank account in local currency via the payment processor or keep payments in Bitcoin. http://BitcoinWiFi.me/Customizable and Open source – The BitcoinWiFi unit can be converted and refurbished to an mini-PC by replacing BitcoinWiFi open source firmware with custom firmware. Responsive web design - The Captive Portal is built with responsive web design, providing a seamless experience for mobile users as well. Return on investment is not guaranteed, but if you set it up in a crowded place, one can only imagine? If you think you can help with this project, please get in touch with me. |

Very cool project, no doubt it could be used for transferring bitcoin around, similar to bitcoincard. The difference in communication compared to bitcoincard, would be that this project enables wireless communication by leveraging the radio frequencies signals already around us, instead of generating its own. And this without even using batteries since the signals carry energy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX9cbxLSOkE |

So I had this idea. Would it be possible to rent an apartment provided this apartment have free electricity usage, and place miners all over it...
This would effectively give a flat rate to pay each month for mining bitcoin.
Any suggestions ?

On the 15th of July - WalletBit website will be taken offline and you will not be able to access your account after this time. The team has worked on high pressure to identify alternative solutions, and it is with very great regret that today we are compelled to come forward with this information.

Can someone make this happen?
I was thinking that it could work by simply inputting one's API key from BIPS, utilizing BIPS SendTo API system, and you could set it to donate to any charity of your choosing which accept bitcoin donations from within the phone app.
