don't pay per transaction to accept bitcoin!
hi
i see most of the businesses over the world are using Bitpay.com to accept bitcoins on their services ..
BitPay is secure, active, and well-developed.
but i wanted to share another secure, active and well-developed payment processor ..
because you don't have to pay a plan at bitpay.com to get paid by your customers
this one is 100% free and i don't think it will be paid in anytime, and it's CoinPayments.net
and just to know , their website was updated 2 weeks ago
while it's active in the plugins development too .. https://www.coinpayments.net/merchant-tools-plugins

You still have to pay per transaction with coinpayments, it's 0.50%. They must be making money from this to have an affiliate system: https://www.coinpayments.net/help-affil
I looked through their site and it seems like they don't convert the coins to currency so you can withdraw to a bank account which would be a major issue for most businesses.
BitPay is no charge if you accept their payout in bitcoin, I just save up the payments and them spend it at newegg for equipment I would have bought anyway.
Why would you use a third party to hold your wallet when you can hold it on your own?
Well in our case we dont hold BTC and instead convert straight to USD and to our bank account. Why hold BTC when you can have $
I do not know about the Americas but accepting direct BTC without assigning a value (traceable) or converting at that point in time in Europe is illegal in terms of tax law compliance.
For personal stuff or kiddie hosts that is fine I am sure, not for actual business though.
op
dont tell me this site is also yours...
edit: i dont see comic sans on the site, but....
The only people I ever get using bitpay/bitcoin are Eastern Europeans trying to hack my servers.
Anyways, my experience has been that only scammers are using bitcoin. I'm tempted to just disable bitpay but I sort of like taking hackers money.
I love spammer that pay with bitpay, get caught, block port 25, watch them cry
