Pay with Bitcoin

[Haunebu]

Great news. This is the kind of stuff that I enjoy reading in this forum. Drops of water form an ocean implying that a single person adopting BTC as a payment method gets us one step closer to mainstream adoption.

Do you check the liability of using bitcoin as a payment method? In some country (mine for example), using bitcoin for business is fined for a huge money and if you commit again, you will probably go to jail. Not all place on the world is healthy for bitcoin to thrive.

He probably did his research related to these matters before taking this decision since he doesn't seem like a newbie in my opinion.

I developed a high interest in Bitcoin lately want to accept Bitcoin for my sales and servicing company, am already working with a programmer to develop software or an application that will aid my transactions using the Bitcoin lightning network.

As the saying goes, no man is an island of knowledge, so I shared my story to get suggestions from this noble forum.

Actually many people have try that concept of exchanging their products with cryptocurrency but is not every country is acquainted to cryptocurrency, i think that should be one of the major reason while some people dislike payment with cryptocurrency especially bitcoin, but anyone that is civilised will definitely accept payment with cryptocurrency, likewise me i will accept payment via cryptocurrency payment than fiat payment.

Hi
This is really great that you are actually doing something like that but I would rather suggest you to move the funds after a certain amount to a safer wallet. Lightning network for sure is amazing but it also has its own disadvantages. Therefore you have to really study about it before you can bring it into practice.
At the same time if you are actually accepting Bitcoins, I do think that you might as well try and incorporate other cryptocurrencies in the same thing. At the end of the day, the market is competitive and it would help you out in many ways, technologically, personally and professionally too.
You also have to understand the fact that not all wallets support lightning network therefore you can also try and use segWit, it would not be that fast but it would get the job done if you are accepting online payments and have a window or 'time limit' arranged for it.

If in your place there are already many people who know and have Bitcoin then the idea you are going to do will definitely work, but of course you have to manage the value of your transaction or payment carefully. 
Because we know that the price of Bitcoin goes up and down quickly, don't let anyone lose in the transaction later.
And I give a tremendous appreciation for what you are going to do, good luck.

Wow great you are a trader and your business is becoming one of the growth of BTC i am so glad to have a friend like you and glad you share this amazing thing on the forum here we are very interested in BTC and this is a positive thing you have shared with us. Yes , It is a bold idea but sure in the future your business will be successful.
Good luck my friend!

OP, I think it is an excellent initiative. Congratulations on taking this important step.
By accepting bitcoin as a means of payment, we are only concerned with scalability.

I agree with you. Scalability is a concern for me too. Another major concern I have is its susceptibility to fraud or malicious attacks during congestions. I’m hoping your developers find a way to fix this vulnerability.

If you are looking for help in implementing the lightning network among your payment channels for the business you own, I would stand with what some of the guys here are saying which is to check the technical board since there is no specific lightning network thread within this board. Then again I am quite glad you took great interest in bitcoin, so much so that you are willing to risk by imposing it as an available payment channel for your service. People like you who took the initiative and went head-on first will most likely be the pioneers of the new currency system once bitcoin becomes accepted not only as a valuable asset and a store of value but also as a fully-fledged currency. Best of luck for you til then.

If in your place there are already many people who know and have Bitcoin then the idea you are going to do will definitely work, but of course you have to manage the value of your transaction or payment carefully.

If what he's offering is available for redemption over the internet, I don't think the locale will play a big role on how well his bitcoin payment channel will be. And I would assume it will be over the internet since bitcoin works best over the internet anyway. Then again I might be wrong, and what OP may have in mind is some sort of over the counter payment method, much like credit card swiping.

[suboo112123]

I completely agreed with you.

[oktana]

IMO, this is a brilliant idea. Accepting Bitcoin as a payment currency will take you to another level entirely. It can attract crypto customers to you. let's say I have some BTC, I'll really want to buy from your store because you accept BTC. In short, I'll find it fun as a customer. Just don't get discouraged to use it if you don't get customers paying with BTC at the start. Eventually they'll start coming, and those who don't use it may even get to know more about it.

[lalabotax]

Many more this kind of step will really make Bitcoin as a global currency more and more popular. Today, mass adoption of Bitcoin nad also other cryptocurrencies are widely spreading. Many more companies are accepting payment via Bitcoin.
This is a very good step if you provide Bitcoin as one of the payments.

And maybe, the problem will happen technically and also the ways you will accept that payment the rate, and also the security of your systems.
You may also need to promote more and announce to more your customers in order to spread it more widely

You're plans for the future is having great potentials, only that bitcoin was volatile and it certainly involves huge risk. Good thing that you had tap someone who can help you set up your own programmed system for cryptocurrency payment. It's not an easy diversion to take, so by the time you'll hit the benchmark of success in bitcoin I think it's a key for other business to venture this kind of strategy.

I am so glad someone is opting for the Lightning Network and not the original Bitcoin (BTC) payment option. I personally feel people are put off from the concept of paying with Bitcoin, when they have to wait for transactions on the Blockchain to confirm. (Some of these transactions during congested periods, can take a few hours) 

Let the transaction take hours to confirm if there is network congestion, why not take your national identity card copy
for the transaction by the customer and that will be helpful if he makes a double spend at a later time. For the past month the transaction fees are really low and the confirmation time is low as well.

The Lightning Network is fast and perfect for use, when you want to use Bitcoin as a payment option. OP, thank you for doing this.... I hope you are going to implement some kind of incentive to encourage people to use this. (Example : 10% discount for people paying with the Lightning Network) 

I am yet not sure whether the current development in lightning network is more than enough to consider them as a solution. If anyone wants to attract audience, giving discount is more than enough.

Man, you nailed it there! that's right you need to set it up with a lightning network to avoid delayed transactions and to save some gas fees. May you become successful in doing that so that the other companies will do the same as well. I think you are the only one as of now to publicize your plan hope that it goes well after you implemented it. Just don't give up man, small bugs and errors are part of this new innovation.

Woow! Good for you.Such a great start for every businessman. You are amazing! It will surely help every users of bitcoin to trasact with you in an easy way. It will aslo spread the use of bitcoin to eveyone.

[RILWAN]

Well, this will be achievable only if your development work with the bitcoin lightening network, to have a low fees and faster transaction. having your one cryptocurrency payment gateway is the most essential aspect to entrance crypto into your business.

[bandungan]

looks like you are having a new innovation where you live. but before you do that I advise you to understand the risks and you really have to understand in more detail about the bitcoin market so that when it's time for your customers to make payments with bitcoin you don't get any problems

[Zilon]

It all depends on the nature of service you render and how many the number of your clients that can afford to pay for your service in Bitcoin or other crypto currency considering the transaction fee but it's a welcome idea you can actually give it a try but do well to still keep us updated on your achievements in regards to the project

[suboo112123]

What are the new companies that people can pay by using BTC?

[Assface16678]

I'm waiting for Tesla to return this opportunity. However, Amazon should also think about bitcoin.

Tesla will be considering bringing back the bitcoin payment option but I don't think that we're going to see Amazon doing it, didn't they publicly claimed that the rumor wasn't true and that they don't have a say as to considering bitcoin as a payment option on their website.

What i can suggest you maybe really focus on money management. Because as company there are employees which must get paid too and with bitcoin volatily, company that accept bitcoin as payment should know when to maybe sell the coins so they are not lose in money but will be different if all people in  company agree to decide when want to sell their coins by themself.

They could give their employees choices, they could either be paid in crypto or fiat. Having its own bitcoin payment system is a great stepping stone for the business, since they are accepting bitcoin, employees should be knowledgeable on how to operate it. This could lead them to be interested in it as well. It would be easier for them, for sure.
