www.bitinstant.com lets people deposit cash into one of 10,000 branches throughout the US and then have $$$ to buy bitcoins within about an hour which can then be used to purchase items. So this would be an additional useful service to be able to sell digital products for cash in a fairly quick way; we used to accept physical envelopes through the mail.

The code has been written to handle micropayments:

What would be nice about incorporating it into bitcoin is the ability to integrate the affiliate program. Several of my colleagues want to start using bitcoins for their products also.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Sunnankar http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5629/pg/0#post20281 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5629/pg/0#post20281 Thu, 9 Feb 2012 15:23:37 GMT E-junkie Discussions; jrockdc http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5629/pg/0#post20281 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5629/pg/0#post20281 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 21:37:32 GMT https://bit-pay.com/ and https://www.btcinch.com/ are options as well. Not sure how these integrate with e-junkie.com yet.]]> E-junkie Discussions; stuffexists http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5629/pg/0#post20281 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5629/pg/0#post20281 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 19:51:32 GMT

Because there are NO transaction fees, monthly bank account fees, or chargebacks and one's bitcoin wallet cannot be frozen therefore I greatly prefer bitcoins to Google Checkout or Paypal.

Had a horrible experience with Paypal freezing my account in order to simply verify the address while I was on vacation. I cannot have that kind of risk introduced into my business as it resulted in my affiliates, independent contractors and virtual assistants getting paid late.

So we have switched to bitcoins since one's wallet cannot be frozen. The next piece is to switch over most of my revenue streams to bitcoins but I want to keep most of my affiliates and have the system easily administered like through E-Junkie. Plus, with all the risk with banking institutions I feel safer with my cash in bitcoins instead of dollars or euros in bank accounts.

FYI, the code for creating the bitcoin shop is open-source on Github and fairly simple manipulate.

Browsing through the forums I read the request for Dwolla support and reply about the time consuming nature of adding payment options. I think in BitCoin's case because it is open-source software it should not be very difficult or time consuming to integrate as a payment option as there is no third-party to deal with via JSON, API, etc. permissions as transactions are verified and cleared by the open-source network.

If you could please add support for BitCoin I would greatly appreciate it as it would help us cater to our customer's desires and provide a more solid foundation for our business model which means we can keep paying E-Junkie every month :)

The last thing we need is to end up like Wikileaks and their banking blockade with Visa, Mastercard and Paypal which was not compelled by a government but merely because they desired to squash freedom of speech:
