Hello! I own Texas Laser Systems and want to start excepting BitCoins. I have been surfing the forum and been reading up on this the idea of this non-controllable currency.. I like what I see. I have added BitCoin as an option in the checkout section. Once a purchase is made, I will email the cutomer the total amount of bitcoins to send and the address. What do you guys think? I do not know of any "integrated" solutions where I can accept bitcoins automatically, does anyone else know?

Is there any list of Merchants that Accept BitCoins that I can get added to?

Website is: www.texaslasersystems.com

Thanks!

Your site has just been added to the Bitcoin Better Business Bureau.

I recommend you add yourself to The Bitcoin Review.

If you're looking for a Bitcoin payment processor, I highly recommend bit-pay.  I have no affiliation with them.

There is the list on the wiki:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade


As for automated systems for bitcoins, yes there are! Bit-pay for example, it allow you to directly accept bitcoins and sell them for $ and to automatically change the bitcoin price to make sure you always get paid the same amount of $

Thanks! I'm hoping becoming a merchant that accepts bitcoins will help and contribute to the currency, and that tech people (like us) that are into bitcoins also like lasers  Smiley

you had me all excited that i could buy a CNC laser for bitcoins! but it's mostly high powered pointers and such which are still fun

Nice site. Best of luck to you. Are you shipping up to Santa in Greenland?

We just bought an Epilog laser table recently - the kind where a factory employee comes out and gets you set up.  I discussed Bitcoins at length with the guy who came to visit us (his name was Shawn), part of the interest came from the fact that we were buying the machine as a direct result of me having made a profit trading bitcoins.  Shawn took a bunch of my physical bitcoins back to the factory and lasered things into them with their various equipment, just to show what was possible.  If you were serious about buying one for bitcoins, they just might know what you're talking about.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable.  I never believe them.  If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins.  I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion.  Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice.  Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

I've used epilog equipment before but gernally find universal makes a more accurate table however finding the spare change for one is no small feat even if the last thing you want is a factory tech to come set it up

Pics or it didn't happen!

Seriously though, that is awesome.
Props also to you, TexasLaserSystems. I'm not anywhere near Texas though, and I hear customs don't like lasers in the mail Smiley

Thanks Smiley Yes, they can be tough to import to the US, although to be honest - issues are rare. Nonetheless, I'm trying to get everything switched over to the FDA Certified stuff so there won't be any issues.

In regards to CNC lasers, sorry - I don't have that. Maybe someday. But I will soon be adding some CO2 Laser Tubes (20watt - 150watt) and Power Supplies to the website.

How's this?  (Since the time Shawn sent me the samples, I bought my own 75-dollar can of the laser marking material he was using, and did this bar myself)



It's the real deal, one-of-a-kind thus far.

http://blockexplorer.com/address/1AVLk3NSP7djqjPdRNff3CzVMqobk4imup

I was able to laser mark both the denomination into the bar (in black lettering) as well as into the hologram (in a sort of low-power "melt" lettering which actually looks cool because the melted plastic combines with the holo material and looks like glitter)

Bitcoin and laser beams just seem so right together. If only we could get Unwanted Hair Removal services to accept Bitcoin. Imagine the possibilities.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.
