Hi,

Perhaps I am missing something here so forgive me if this is obvious -

I want to accept payments on my site where everything will be priced in BTC.

I am aware that most of my customers don't even know what a bitcoin is (stay with me)

I cant find anything on any of the payment gateway sites that will enable my customers to either

Pay directly in bitcoin

AND/OR

Pay with paypal, creditcard, anything - and they will convert it directly from nasty fiat into bitcoin and send it to me (for a hefty fee no doubt)

Does this exist, did I miss it somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Someone must be able to point me to the right place....

Ah... this doesnt exist... the potential weakness of BTC is its non acceptance...

I can pay for my antique stuffed cat when visiting texas using my british pound bank card and it all magically gets converted for a shockingly bad rate and a nasty fee....

But when I want to buy that secret filth I found on the internet in BTC... I have to hunt down the BTC in advance...

This is no good for my granny.

A sad day for me.

IMO it doesn't exists, because Bitcoin is very volatile.
One day it's 1 BTC=$260, the other is 1 BTC=$60.

Now, if you hate fiat, you can count in loafs of bread. The ultimate test of value.
One day it's 1 BTC=130 bread, the other is 1 BTC=30 bread.

Problematic, huh ?
IMO: only time where it matters to pay in Bitcoin denomination is if you buy Bitcoin-equivalent: i.e. Bitcoin miner or physical Bitcoin.
