Earn 0BTC for getting shops/organisations to accept Bitcoin!

Went to my local home depot, they accept bitcoins at the self checkouts.

I'm non-US-citizen, but isn't home depot a huge chain? You're fucking with us, right?

Pic or it didn't happen.

I would like to donate to America's Charities.
Do you accept bitcoins as a donation payment option?
If not yet - it is really easy to start accepting bitcoins.

The first method:
1) open the instawallet.org web page;
2) save the unique contents of the address bar;
3) publish your bitcoin address on your donation page.

(If you lose your unique address - you lose bitcoins!)

The second method (recomended):
1) open the multibit.org web page;
2) download and install the MultiBit program;
3) run it and then click on the Receive Bitcoin button;
4) publish your bitcoin address (and bitcoin swatch).

(If you lose your %APPDATA%\MultiBit folder - you lose bitcoins!)

You can easily sell your bitcoins on one of bitcoin exchanges.
Look here:
* https://mtgox.com/
* https://tradehill.com/?r=TH-R1537
* http://intersango.com (for SEPA zone)
* http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/

Here is a list of advantages that bitcoins can give you:
* the sender pays a very low transaction fee (0.0001 BTC now);
* no one can withdraw money (except you) or freeze the account;
* and you can raise additional funds from the bitcoin community.

I hope that my information may be useful for you. Good luck!

They said they haven't received any bitcoins besides mine lol...

I have just opened up LevitatedINK which is a design apparel label supplying custom T-Shirts, Art, Merchandise, Watches and loads of other stuff in the works. At the moment customers can pay with BitPay and Bitwallet, I have yet to stock my items but I will over the next couple of days. You can get a feel for the style just check out the website... www.levitatedink.com


Cryptocondom.com(Under construction) will also allow Bitcoin payments, we supply custom Crpytocurrency condoms, I have already sold over half the 1st batch in exchange for BTC.

[raellis]

have you sent to anyone before?

[jmerme01]

I worked for many years as a personal assistant to the CFO of a renewable energy company (building turbines), and I've been trying to convince him of the benefits of bitcoin and altcoins (especially Scrypt-based altcoins).  I think I'm finally making some traction now that Zynga and Overstock got such great free advertising from their announcements.  I made a serious pitch over lunch to him today try to seal the deal - will let you know how it goes.  Does the bonus still apply if I get him to accept litecoin, or just bitcoin?

This thread is honestly an amazing incentive to speed up the rate of adopters.  I just sent an email to a college roomate who is at Dropbox now, and he is going to set up a meeting for me to make a pitch to their finance department head!

[edreamer]

Hello OP and congrats on an awesome incentive/bounty to help promote Bitcoin acceptance by online and other stores/organizations. I was brought to this thread from a wiki for Bitcoin bounties. I see that this thread was started almost 3 years ago now and was curious if it is still going strong. It appears to have been successful, but I see thread activity curb off a lot since last year around May.

So with all that said, is the bounty still being honored?

Cheers,
E

[U1TRA_L0RD]

I might be interested, Please reply OP, Thanks!

[trackpantsboner]

With the massive rise in Bitcoin value in the last few years, I doubt the OP is interested in handing over 1000s of dollars

Would love it if he was as I could get a dozen or so small merchants to accept bitcoin if there was incentive to do so.

[sludgecleaner]

Okay, time to motivate people to do some work.

I am going to pay 2 BTC for every on-line shop and 1 BTC for every organisation that you convince to start accepting Bitcoin as a payment/donation currency. They have to put an information about that on their website and they have to be existing, established businesses/sites with a Google Page rank of at least 3. I am not going to pay you if you create your own shop overnight just for the sake of winning the BTC or if the website is totally not popular.

If anyone wants to join me in rewarding feel free - the more BTC offered the more people will hopefully move their arses.

EDIT: If you are going to have a go at some business/organisation/site let us know before you hit on them, so that we know that it is actually you who got them to accept Bitcoin. Please do so by posting here.

EDIT2: Please be reasonable and don't send silly spam to these entities; rather compose a tailored letter to each particular business. We don't want Bitcoin to be associated with spam.

EDIT3: I thought that was obvious, but: The reward is only valid for the places that switched after this thread was created and after you declared that you were going to convince someone.

Update: The pledges so far are:

Mahkul shops: 2, organisations: 1
BitterTea shops: 0, organisations: 0
Blitzboom shops: 0, organisations: 0
dirtyfilthy shops: 0, organisations: 0
cw shops: 1, organisations: between 0.1 and 1 (depending on size)
slush shops: 3, organisations: 0 (Available BTC: 97)
mrb shops: 125, organisations: 0 (Available BTC: 375) Note: Only shops selling tangible goods and having pagerank greater from or equal 7.

Total (shops): 131BTC
Total (organisations): 1-2BTC

EDIT 4: Here is the spreadsheet for this thread (note there are two sheets - one for pledges and one for takers): http://www.editgrid.com/user/mahkul/Earn_BTC_for_promoting_Bitcoin

I am on a secondment in Singapore. When i shop around in this so-called bitcoin financial center, i could barely find any shops that accept Bitcoin. Finally i managed to find a shop owner that accepts small payment in bitcoin ( this shop sells bicycles,    https://jimove.sg ). As a collective efforts of the bitcoin community, i think we should set up a global directory which lists down all the shops that accept bitcoin as a payment option. It seems to be a very challenging task, i hope someone would take up the leadership.

You can see what you described at https://map.bitcoin.com/, although many places are using Bitcoin Cash over Bitcoin at this point due to the poor user experience on BTC.

I wrote a whole book on what happened too: https://www.amazon.com/Hijacking-Bitcoin-Hidden-History-BTC/dp/B0CXWBCWDR/ref=zg_bs_g_10806607011_d_sccl_1/133-2063248-2793037?psc=1
