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

[Meni Rosenfeld]

Yes, only PR4 but we are offering small hosting solutions since 2007/2008. It's more on the local scale, though.

Thanks. Unfortunately my personal pledge applies to shops with a page rank 3 or above.

PageRank 4 is above PageRank 3. The highest PageRank is 10 enjoyed by google.com, facebook.com etc. You can find PageRank using this site or this Firefox addon.

I think that it will be very difficult that large firms could listen to just one casual customer, we should focus all together to someone that we can see fit.

I propose last.fm: being an internet radio and thus selling a "virtual good", using bitcoin for payment could be more interesting and viable for them than for others.

I wrote them on the subject: anybody care to make the same?

For this to work you need all persuaders to have been a customer for a while and have made a significant amount of purchases, otherwise it's just spam. Because Bitcoin is still small, it may be hard to find enough such people for any entity. We can't win with numbers, we can only win with ideas and for that one person suffices.

But by all means, if there are more last.fm customers here please do write to them.

Can I convince myself and get paid? 

Ok, but seriously, what sort of steps do I need to take to accept bitcoin payments?  I have a gaming community that takes donations in exchange for higher rank, and I sell my own music albums on Amazon, iTunes, etc, so I'd like to implement bitcoins for both purposes.

I will try to convince the owner of http://accessfirefox.org/ to accept BitCoin donations - he's a good friend of mine and I help him out with technical issues for his site. The site focuses on accessibility features and add-ons for Firefox - the owner himself is visually impaired, yet still managed to build that site!

If there is still a bounty for convincing sites to accept bitcoins, I will donate it to AccessFirefox or ask it to be donated directly to AccessFirefox.

Thanks for the reward :-)

Next step will be to put some "We accept bitcoins" logo on our site.

There’s no reason to put Bitcoin on a seperate wiki page that noone will see. I’ll pay when it’s a default payment on https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Donate_or_Pay_Dues.

Okay, I'll discuss it with them in-person when I get a chance.

Okay, guys, I'm going to the SF meetup. I'll discuss it with the board of treasurers there.
Good?

You can tell these organisations to apply at http://witcoin.com/charities and get a percentage of revenue.

MissionStands makes awesome cardboard laptop stands. They're also "really interested" in Bitcoins! They may also be showing up at the SF bitcoin meetup at Noisebridge.

The first step is to either install the Bitcoin software or create a MyBitcoin account.
If there's some level of trust in your gaming community, all you need is to post your Bitcoin address on your site and tell people to send you a message how much they donated.
If you need to be able to verify who paid what, you need to hand out a different address to each payer. There are some existing solutions for automating this.
I don't know if a platform like Amazon or iTunes will allow you to accept Bitcoin payments.

Well, PR4 is above PR3, isn't it?

Anyway, I understand that you prefer shop selling tangible goods. It makes sense.

I am embarrassed. I meant to pledge for sites in the top 30% pageranks (so 7-10). That's completely my fault. So, I sent you the remaining 95 BTC to match my original 100 BTC pledge because I feel obliged to (technically, you met what I put in written form).

Mahkul: to summarize, I now raise my pledge from 100 BTC to 125 BTC. I have 375 BTC remaining, so I pledge for maximum 3 more shops. It only applies to shops selling tangible (physical) goods, and only to those of pageranks 7 through 10.

I emailed deathsquad.tv and alt-market.com.

Guys, can you please check the pagerank before you post. I am wasting my time only to find out they don't meet the criteria.

These to are 1 and 0, so they don't qualify.

[Mahkul]

ok im going to try dsgamemaker.com

Pagerank 0

[Mahkul]

I'm working on getting http://projectzomboid.com/blog/ setup with bitcoin for their game! You can check out the conversation on twitter @gburgwardt and @lemmy101

Granted I didn't pique their interest, but I'm helping with integration and explanation I suppose? Anyone that wants to tip can either tip me or check out their game, it looks good!

Again, this has a pagerank of 0. Please check before posting next time.

You should explain in the OP what PageRank is and how to find it.

https://www.virwox.com/ is now accepting Bitcoin

Unfortunately the site has a pagerank of 0, so no bounty. Still, thanks for your effort.

Due to the price of Bitcoin going up recently I am lowering my pledge to 5 BTC per shop and 2 BTC per organisation.

I also updated the sheet and pledges, if anyone sees any mistakes please let me know. Thanks.
