LOL i would call that the fees bucket  fun to compare a transaction fees with a chicken bucket, or with a whisky bottle.

But this is a great news. Is the first step, hope to see McDonalds or Pizza Hut accepting bitcoin soon. But it would be better to see some alts there, that way we can save nice money paying low fees.

+1 for KFC

This has been a good initiation, maybe following its acceptance more such food chains starts accepting bitcoin. Looking the ongoing transaction fee issue, how this will function in an efficient manner is still a myth,because already several business platforms has started accepting bitcoin and at some point left because of transaction issues.

Someone got hacked pretty bad

I think this is just a trial for the first branch of KFC in Canada.

That "fees" bucket though. I'm also waiting for McDonalds to do the same thing.

It's a very good news for the Canadians. This second diamond to the Bitcoin crown,as we already know Amazon start to accept the bitcoin.Many corporate start to accept bitcoin, because they come to know the value of bitcoin. If this continues, we can hope bitcoin will replace the the King of Currency (Dollars) and became a National currency soon.

LOL I wonder how some one will pay for one burger and pay fee in bitcoins. Fee will be like 100 burgers price lol.

[vincentyanx]

this will be very interesting, I hope for the future all kfc outlets all over the country are also willing to accept payment through btc, this will be an innovation for bitcoin in the future

I did hear about this lol. Good initiation taken by KFC Canada, but what about the confirmation time? Order today and get your bitcoin bucket tomorrow?

Lightning network should help them with this problem. The company already launched its main net lightning network!

It's funny because companies/organizations like Steam withdrew their bitcoin payment option, and then here comes KFC. Though I'm really not sure if they chose the right time to accept bitcoin payments though, not sure how that would work out; and I'm really not sure if people would be willing to pay BTC due to the current humongous fees. 🤔 If I we're them I'd honestly wait for LN first. Or they probably just want some publicity, idk.

EDIT: After looking at their past tweets, it definitely looks like they're doing it for the publicity. It's pretty much like KFC Canada is using bitcoin shills that are being used by normies. Not saying it's bad though, any publicity is good publicity.

Fried chicken chain KFC Canada is accepting bitcoin – for a limited time and for a cryptocurrency-themed bucket of chicken, that is.

The limited-time marketing move sees the Canada-based chain advertising “The Bitcoin Bucket” complete with a Facebook-based live-tracker of the standing price for the product, which works out to roughly 20 Canadian dollars depending on the exchange rate with bitcoin.

That said, you can’t exactly walk into a KFC location in Canada and pay with crypto at the cash register.

Instead, the company is accepting Bitcoin via BitPay as one of the options through an online check-out page. The Bitcoin Bucket will be delivered directly to the customer’s address the (the product also carries a $5 fee), according to the check-out process on its website.

Great news. And Microsoft accept bitcoin payments again.

[BitChief]

Great news. And Microsoft accept bitcoin payments again.

Haha I love KFC, their attitude is so carefree. It will probably end up being a great publicity stunt for them too, although I don't know how they will manage their bitcoin exposure.

yes, some people complain about transaction cost issues. I think this will be a problem and inhibit the progress of bitcoin as a transactional tool in the future.

[Btcjunpitz18]

wow! other branch will just follow..hopefully bitcoin will be accepted all around the world.

Guess this was the reason. I thought they were already accepting it in stores everywhere in Canada. Like you can just bring your phone and pay with it, I guess it's still a far away dream. Though it is still a good progress for bitcoins and possibly this was the reason why bitcoin prices spiked a few days ago (not so sure though). If KFC sees this as something good, for sure they will keep this option and probably expand this all over the world if possible. Maybe our dream of a world where we can use bitcoins everywhere will become reality someday, but probably not this year as the governments everywhere has been quite hostile against bitcoin use.

very good news, vote 5 star for KFC Canada. hope bitcoin will be accepted more in normal commercial daily

[btcmayumana]

Canada is one of some country whom legalize Bitcoin in their country. I'm not too surprised that Bitcoin will be accepted into any industry. KFC has a big name in the fast food industry, It is good news proof that people are getting to know bitcoin and this is the future.
Put lik on their tweet as their support to promotes bitcoin

Just a marketing. Nobody will pay for chicken bucket via BTC due high commission. 20$ for chicken bucket + 12$ commission? LOL
Btw KFC is on the right way

[zentdex]

Wow it awesome! I wish KFC in my country would implement the same, and I will definitely go straight ahead and bough a bucket of those mouth watering fried chickens.  I just wish that they will really sell it with a bucket label as posted in the twitter and facebook. But my question is…What if the transaction is delayed for about several minuets? Will they give the bucket to you right away or wait for the confirmations. Anyway, it excites me a lot. Thanks for the info.
