http://www.nachrichten.at/nachrichten/wirtschaft/wirtschaftsraumooe/Energie-AG-Ab-Montag-werden-Bitcoins-akzeptiert;art467,2617284

sorry but it is only available in german.

The energy provider EnergieAG in Austria (Central europe, south of germany and no kangaroos) started to accept BTC as payment.
Why I post this here and not in a german subforum? Because it is great news that a second big company (biggest food delivery service in Germany too) started to accept BTC in a few days. That is great news
Even though its for the German market, I believe its still a good news to the market in general because it shows that businesses are beigingng to trust the technology and the force behind it and not just individuals now but corporate bodies no matter how small their capacity is and with the biggest food delivery coming on board in few days, then all I can say is that good days are here and its happening in our very own eyes.

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Nice news for them. I hope it will be greatly used so others companies will start to follow the same path. One thing you can notice: It's funny because if I am not wrong this company is owned with ~10% by banks like Oberbank. irony irony Roll Eyes. Are they using Energie As  their Lab?

It's Austria.
Read the damn article and use google translate if you don't the language !!!!!!

LOL you made my day. And the most funny is that the OP title clearly say Austria

Great news, does it state the reasons why?

Accepting more forms of currency like this can only help businesses, but I have a feeling that when companies start accepting BTC, it's because a high level exec is invested in Bitcoin and pushes it through.

Like I say, this isn't a bad thing, as it's win/win for everyone, but would like to know the reasoning behind it.
Well that can be one reason but I don't think accepting Bitcoin as a mode of payment for your utility bill will help influence the price that much. Its not the policy change we are looking for but for the increase of users. I don't know if people will convert their Fiat Currency to Bitcoin in order to pay the latter. It is only a matter of what they are paying, as a smart or practical person won't pay using their Bitcoin because it is a form of investment right now which has more value than Fiat currency.

OK, again add a btc acceptor in transactions. This will definitely appear even more. As btc is getting more and more attention due to its convenience in the deal and because of the increasing number of btc owners and of course their demand for btc transactions also increases, this promotes the btc acceptance in over the world.

LINZ. Until the electricity calculation with the cryptography Bitcoin can pay, it will still last. But Energie AG will be able to pay with Bitcoin from Monday, with the product “Containerservice24” of Energie-AG subsidiary UmweltService GmbH.

This might help bitcoin to get more adoption in Germany.

Honestly, I don't trust this news. Documentary confirmation of such news and people often wishful thinking. If the Austrian government does not officially accept bitcoin for payment then the power company can't break. Maybe the payment is carried out through the transit exchange?

We could see such news about acceptance of bitcoin payments regularly.It seems thepioneers in different fields are ready to accept bitcoin payments.Its because being pioneer,they are able to grasp the market developments and so they see a big future in bitcoins and to face competition,they announce first about bitcoin acceptance much earlier than others.

No , they don't accept crypto and the guy that gave the interview says that they don't plan in the near future to.
What they do accept is 3rd parter payments for their containerdienst24.at business.

i really don't have an idea regarding to that statement that has been mention and OP's topic is regarding to acceptance of bitcoin for payment process
and if this is true its really a big break since more company will start also using the chain if this really happening.

That's the first big bitcoins news from Austria. Congratulations! I hope that fact will support spreading of bitcoin and it's future mass adoption.

Actually few days ago it was published that a big post office chain in Austria is going to sell Bitcoins. So there was bit more then just this Cheesy

Is it just me or is the US still slipping behind on BTC adoption? Dont get me wrong all adoption is good. Just seems to be another are where the US lags.

Sure USA is center for many things I would say it is country which is gaining most power because centralization. So Bitcoin is biggest threat for them.

Not just "a" big post office chain in Austria. The post office chain! So that's quite something.

http://www.nachrichten.at/nachrichten/wirtschaft/wirtschaftsraumooe/Energie-AG-Ab-Montag-werden-Bitcoins-akzeptiert;art467,2617284

sorry but it is only available in german.

The energy provider EnergieAG in Austria (Central europe, south of germany and no kangaroos) started to accept BTC as payment.
Why I post this here and not in a german subforum? Because it is great news that a second big company (biggest food delivery service in Germany too) started to accept BTC in a few days. That is great news

Wow! Great news for me too! I live in Germany now, so when more and more companies will accept BTC it will make our live easier. Thanks for sharing this news Wink
