2014-04-02 Xerox Experimenting with Bitcoin

I'm trying to see the advantage.
People with cell phones have apps for BTC.
Sending over a land line....? For older people?

I would like an option for spending bitcoin over the phone for example, when calling a donation hotline, to be able to provide bitcoin payment in real time rather than needing to pay an invoice later.

Not bad.
It would be so much more secure than giving your cc number over the phone.

I have my sympathies for Xerox. They were a great company. But ever since Ursula M. Burns was appointed as the CEO, the company is going to the dogs. Workers are not getting any pay-rise for 6 years in a row now. And at the same time the top management got almost a dozen pay-rises.

During its early years, Xerox were great innovators. But Apple stole many of their innovative ideas (such as LAN networking and GUI).

This news (that Xerox is experimenting with BTC) means that they are going back to their innovative roots.
