Now here's a comparison.  If this PayPal mobile video with "Steve" and "Tom" can get over 260,000 views, surely we can beat that!

Maybe not so easy with their marketing but I'm surprised how many "dislike" (hinthint) they got

It can be even simpler.
The qrcode could link a btc-url with the amount already set, so the customer has only to accept the payment.

Great product.  A big move to the right direction.

[Technomage]

Very nice!! Services like these will take Bitcoin to the next level.

[kjj]

That's pretty slick.

[dancupid]

Your service suddenly makes sense to me - I didn't quite understand why it was necessary before.

Edit - as someone commented in youtube - where is this bar? Is it real?

would be funny if you put your video as a 'reply' to the paypal one

[MelMan2002]

I'm excited to see where bit-pay takes bitcoins!  This is great!

Yes it's a real bar.  We are working to get it integrated with their POS before they go live with it.  I am still trying to convince them to just do it now.  Once they are accepting bitcoins I will announce it.

That's what it did already. The customer chose to increase the amount for a tip, that's why she typed in a new number.

Yeah, both these girls were moving pretty fast with the technology.  I had to slow them down!

[FreeMoney]

Very nice.

Have you thought about making a firstbits input option? The scan looked really easy and smooth, but might be good in case a scanner/camera was broken or just not working. What is the current back up plan? Typing the whole address? Send a text and copy/paste? Also with firstbits you could just have the server say it. You would then have to retype the amount, but since they are typing a tip anyway maybe not so terrible.

Anyway, this is really good stuff, congrats.

Where did you find allison? Do you pay her in bitcoins?

I've known Alison for years.  Check out the other gig she has as a college football correspondent for Fox Sports:

And yes, we paid her in bitcoins and she has started selling them to all of her friends.  She gets it!

So what is the advantage to using this over Visa/MC? No chargebacks?

Yep and you get geek/libertarian cred.

Firstbits may not be useful where we need a unique address for every sale.  But I do like the idea.

The invoice that the business creates has the QR code, but the merchant can click the "Email" button at the top and email the instructions to the customer, or copy and paste the address into a text message to the customer.  So there are 2 backups if the customer cannot scan.

Take a look at the Invoice screenshot here:
