hi jeremy,
as you may remember, a week or so ago I got you to pay a couple of BPAY payments for me (possibly what started this idea).
while i was more than happy about the 'reduced' bitcoin rate, where i felt a bit jipped was in the USD/AUD rate, which you converted at 1.11 at a time when the going mid-rate on xe.com was 1.06.
i think you should either have a 'bad' bitcon/usd rate or a 'bad' usd/aud rate, but not both.
my thoughts.
edit: forget all of the above, i should have clicked your new link before i blurted all that out... i see you give a fixed bitcoin/AUD rate now as part of the deal so at least we can compare it to tradehill's AUD market for example.
thanks!

no problem. I appreciate the critique (although all of the exchange rates were spelled out to you BEFORE you paid, so I do wish you would have brought it up privately before paying . Allow me to explain the exchange rate you received vs the new bpay exchange rate: The exchange rate you received was on the "buy anything" page, which automatically converts anything other than USD using the RETAIL rate (not the bank-to-bank rate you quoted) as that is what I have to pay to convert. As the Aussie bpay page only deals in AUD and I can use AUD without converting, it uses the bank-to-bank rate before adding the fee I would normally receive from affiliates. If you PM me a bitcoin refund address I'll gladly refund what the difference would have been just as a thank you for giving me this idea. I'll also see if I can figure out the coding to make AUD the bank-to-bank rate on the buy anything page. Thanks again for a great idea!

Sweet! I can pay my huge electricity bills with the very thing that makes them so huge. I like the circularity there.

does the lower exchange compensate your fee's? or do you apply fee's on top of the shown exchange rate on your site?
current market price 1btc = is around $8, your exchnage rate 1btc = $7.32, which is very good if no extra fee's are included, otherwise what are your fee's?

Lower exchange rate (aud) compensates my fees. There are no added fees. |

It's still possible! You can pay BPAY bills with bitcoin in Australia at LRoS. Any BPAY bill will work. https://www.livingroomofsatoshi.comA great way to support the bitcoin economy! |
