My hardware store now accepts Bitcoin!

[dupee419]

I would like to thank the people who replied to my topic where I asked a few questions regarding the implementation of Bitcoin. Putting that aside, I have successfully implemented "Lighting Network" Bitcoin payments in my hardware store. Already 4 different persons have used Bitcoin as a payment today. I have not only implemented Bitcoin payments in my store but I invested 10 000$ in BTC.

I am fascinated by Bitcoin and I will definitely stay active in this amazing forum.

Would love to visit your store! And your $10k investment is gonna make a good profit soon, though what I'm really curious is your physical store, I'd love to know more details about it, using Bitcoin and Lightning Network as a method of payment can actually attract more customers and also give people a new way to discover Bitcoin or convince people to believe that Bitcoin is real, it may be 2021 but there are still some people that does not believe in Bitcoin.

Usually when you open bitcoin payment in your store, people who already involved in crypto will interested to try it and hope a lot of people will come to your store and use bitcoin as payment. A lot of people maybe hope same things to, include me but unfortunately my government not allow anything beside fiat to  be payment. Even to sell digital product people in here can't use bitcoin as payment.

How did you implemented "lightning network" in your store by the way?

Congratulations on getting your customers to use Bitcoin. People love to merit such posts but pictures of the said LN PoS would be great. Because God, that is pretty damn fast. Where is your store located exactly?

Uhhhh... Why are you asking me?
OP haven't responded with detailed information in any of his topics (I take it with a grain of salt), that's why I asked.

BTW, not only the speed, he's accepting Lightning Funds so, his channels should have enormous amount of inbound capacity which isn't easy to accomplish.
If he responded, an answer that "connects" will clear any qualms about his story.

I don't want to be a party pooper, but whole this story about him owning a hardware store and implementing LN payments in a couple of hours seems like a bullshit to me. On top of that, allegedly people immediately started paying via LN.

I wish all this is true, but this looks to me like this guy knows what people here want to hear and fabricated this story in order to squeeze some easy merit. Wouldn't be a first newbie doing that..

[Ararbermas]

That's a great move mate congrats to you, by the way it doesn't matter if you only have 4 costumer that using your new payment method in your hardware store, at least you convince them,  indeed that's how it started and for sure soon all of your costumer will follow the same way as well as it more reliable than other digital payment options. just keep it up and spread the new features of your store so that everyone will be aware..

Well, that would be very unfortunate if you were right, but I'm afraid that was exactly the case. The guy was last active yesterday here, but he didn't respond to any questions in this thread.

I didn't give him any money or merit, and yet I feel scammed in a way.

Please, OP, prove I was wrong.

[zanezane]

Congratulations to you and hope that it can help your business becoming prosperous, I like your attitude that you don't get discouraged even though there's not a lot of people that's going to use that as an option but you've put it anyway, I would have done the same thing just for the sake of promoting bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Another interesting thing is his merit history and the only account (so far) he sent merit to, newbieexcro. Check his post history and you will find some similarities like @excro claiming to own small electronics shop, while wnet owns hardware store, both applying to same merit giveaway threads almost one after the other etc.

edit; reading this post again, bitcointalk got me really paranoid. I mean, I am naturally suspicious to everything, but this this forum brought me to a completely new level

Yes. That doesn't even sound right, and it's something that has to be checked. In fact, it doesn't sound like it happened.

I'm glad to hear that, someone who is active in this forum who has a hardware store that can serve customers in buying/selling using Bitcoin, hopefully more customers who buy using Bitcoin, so that people who don't know Bitcoin will know the truth.

If I may suggest, maybe in the future we can also add transaction features with ETH, LTC, etc., who knows there are customers who want to pay using other crypto, congratulations and success for their business.

Congrats on setting up a payment system for your hardware store! I love seeing business owners implement bitcoin payment systems.  Every store owner that implements a payment system just puts us one step closer to mass adoption for bitcoin.  I have talked a couple business owners myself in to accepting bitcoin.  Love it, keep up the great work!

[dothebeats]

Another store that joined the force. Congrats on making it happen!

Some of the stores I know of that previously accepted bitcoin and other mainstream crypto already scrapped the payment method off of their list as it wasn't configured properly for them. It's a good thing that you found useful advices from this forum and made things happen for your hardware store. And it's great to hear that people are already paying in bitcoin, too!

All the best for your hardware store!

[bL4nkcode]

I might be late to say congrats but I'll say it anyway here instead on your previous thread.

Maybe you can share even a glimpse of your store to the community, or even a partial of the bitcoin qr code/device/signage of your store for accepting bitcoin.

Congrats on being able to achieve that. As time goes on now a lot of people who make use of Bitcoin we get to know your website. Those that have made purchase on your hardware store making use of Bitcoin will go back and tell their friends who are also making use of Bitcoin to know that there are places that they can purchase such hardware by using Bitcoin. And those friends will also come to your website to purchase the same thing, and as you know it you will be seeing more growth in this area as well. It’s really good that you took this bold step, and even invested in bitcoin. That’s really nice. Congrats once more.

Its very good thing to see people actually getting some useful information a from the forum and taking them into consideration, and i personally think that you have taken the best decision of your carrier because not only using bitcoin is a great thing and investing in it and using it in your shop will bring you more profit, but the implementation comes at the right place since you are selling hardware i assume that most people will have some idea about bitcoin and  when they see that you are accepting it as a payment they will come to you which means more customers, so i wish good luck.

[huu78]

Good luck to you !!

Later in the future I hope your store will continue to use Btc and add some crypto as a means of payment. If you are interested SOL and BSC will be a good alternative, this is not just a suggestion, but I will accept SOL and BSC at my coffee shop which I will open in 2022.

[blckhawk]

congrats!! it is very pleasing to hear this kind of developments when it comes to bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general, because as time goes by many people starts to embrace the cryptocurrency culture. when you think of it companies should embrace this kind of culture because it bring convenience to the costumer when they try to buy online and it also lessens the amount of money you bring into a store.

Well, welcome to the club, mate! Let's hope we were both wrong, and all those merits and good wishes were well deserved by OP. But implementing Lightning Network within 24 hours with "4 different persons"? I wish it was true. At this pace we'll be using Lightning Network all over the world in no time!

Yep, the bolded part is a major red flag. as we all know how rarely Lightning Network is used. I know bunch of people in real life that are into crypto and maybe 2-3 ever bothered to test LN, let alone bough something with it(talking about people that are into crypto for 4-5+ years, now some newbies) ,and now OP sets it up in his store and basically the same day 4 people used it to buy something.

Pure bs if you ask me, but as we can see people are happy to hear anything positive  and not stop to think whether it makes sense or not.
