Never used google wallet but I heard it's not available on certain phones (like Verizon).  Was this ever addressed?  What sort of fees to they take?

Also can people accept credit cards (like verified Paypal accounts)


Oops....
Still love you Bitcoin.

No clue, last time I checked (couple of months ago) it wasn't an option for me yet and I still don't see the icon in my compose message window in gmail, haven't gone ot see if I can turn it on manually.

5$ + they will take 2-3% when exchanging the money compared to the rate they get
Banks charge themselves 1/1000 when exchanging currencies

And to think if you would have bought in bitcoin the total fees would probally be about 5 cents usd thank god for bitcoin

Every business should except the currency and they would save money as well as the customer

The next couple years will be amazing.
Apple I don't care about; Ripple isn't usable for mainstream society.
Google wallet (with new features) could better compete with Paypal....?
Why don't more people use Google wallet?
