BitPay is excited to announce our newest merchant, Black Lotus, which offers DDOS protection services. http://blacklotus.netNormally I would not make a thread to announce a new merchant like this, but with all of the DDOS attacks coming to bitcoin businesses, all bitcoin webmasters should know that there's a protection service that can accept our money. http://www.blacklotus.net/payments |

Wow, awesome! This is evidence of the "supply chain" starting to fill out. All merchants themselves have bills to pay and when those merchants that accept Bitcoin payments can in-turn pay their own bills using bitcoins then they can hold onto them instead of always cashing the bitcoin revenues out to fiat. I think of this each time I have to cash out some of my bitcoins to pay a recurring monthly bill. I lose a little in exchange fees when I cash out and because I am paying the bill with a credit card I know that the merchant is taking a hit on the merchant fees as well. When that merchant has more options for paying its bills using bitcoins it will be more likely to start accepting bitcoins for payment as well. Each additional merchant in the supply chain that accepts bitcoins adds a link that extends the length of the virtuous cycle.  |

I have been expecting DDOS businesses to join for some time. Bitcoin companies (unfortunately) have a lot of business for them.

I gave him a good beat down over that pre-announcement thing.  BlackLotus is not what he was referring to, but it's also not anything on the scale of the WordPress news. |

Announcing a beat down on a preannouncement may deserve a beat down. Steve should beat down Tonys announcement on the beat down of steves preannouncement of the actual announcement. |

I like this:
redit card and PayPal transactions are subjected to extended verification to combat fraud:
Credit card
PayPal
The following payment methods are processed immediately upon receipt and are not subject to extended verification:
Wire transfer
Check or money order
Bitcoin
Liberty Reserve
WebMoney (WMZ)
The only Options that are as comfortable as Bitcoin Payment require additional verification, so Bitcoin is the best way to pay there. |
All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

Tony, That's great news. Are you aware of this. http://www.000webhost.com/directory/reviews/blacklotus.netIf it's true it makes sense they want to accept non reversible bitcoin. I love the fact that you are expanding your business (an congrats on the WP deal!) But i hope it is for the right reasons. |

Wasn't MTGox getting protection from BlackLotus last year? Maybe they can say something about their experience with them.

I think of this each time I have to cash out some of my bitcoins to pay a recurring monthly bill. I lose a little in exchange fees when I cash out and because I am paying the bill with a credit card I know that the merchant is taking a hit on the merchant fees as well.
I'm always kind of curious about why people use credit cards to pay their monthly bills if they object to the way the processing system is set up. Is there no simple way of paying your bills by direct deposit in the US because that's how people here pay things like their rent, their electricity bills, their car registration and insurance, their phone bills, etc. The money in the merchant's account within a couple of days (often overnight and it can be the same day if customers are with the same bank). I only use my Mastercard when the merchant doesn't accept direct deposit or where they'll only ship immediately for credit card transactions. The following payment methods are processed immediately upon receipt and are not subject to extended verification:
Wire transfer
Check or money order
Bitcoin
Liberty Reserve
WebMoney (WMZ)[/.quote]
Why would you not apply extended verification to cheques and money orders when the first bounce on a regular basis and the second are counterfeited/stolen often enough to be cautious about supplying goods and services until you've been able to cash them? |
All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

I think most people pay their monthly bills using electronic bill pay from their bank's website. |
