Doesn't look like a bad idea, but it also looks like a bit off a faff to me. And the discount only applies if someone chooses to pay the premium price? I doubt many people will be saving 25% off their Amazon purchases. Hopefully if it's popular Amazon will just implement btc acceptance directly though.


“It is difficult to buy bitcoin. It is really, really hard,” said Liu. “Our market is people who cannot overcome that difficulty. [And] the difficulty is not going to decrease that easily anytime soon.”

Is it really? I could get coins quicker than going through all this effort that's for sure.

Hmm... sounds too good to be true. 25% is quite a lot, especially when compared to the 3% discount offered by Gyft. Bitcoin sector is currently plagued with scammers and con-artists. I'd rather be skeptical.

So it only saves you 25% if somone choose to pay the 25% themselves?
