Friendly reminder to providers before BF
Friendly reminder to providers before BF. Please, add more payment methods, please!
If you add crypto payment then use more coins, not only useless high fee BTC coin. Nobody really want to use it except one million boys who only hold this s*** (not use). There are a lot of better alternatives.
And don't forget to add available payment systems at the main page or at the FAQ page, because you will (and always get) unpayed orders for this reason! Ppl join to see what is available and as the result you have tons of unpayed orders.

Ahh. The accounting mess. The collection pain.
A reminder to the vocal minority, effort/reward.
It may be easier for you, but converting your shitcoins as a merchant (accepting Bitcoin is hard enough!) into something usable is easier said than done. Keep in mind your host can't actually pay their DC with your coins, and they will inevitably pay fees to convert it back to fiat.
TL;DR: Be grateful your host accepts crypto at all. If I ran a host, I certainly wouldn't bother trying to accept more than a few of the major coins if at all.
like this idea , really good point .
Unlike : we use btc or any popular coin because we can monetize this rapid and we can make the real money and not lost in exchange any shit coins
True.
I will second this.

Being honest, only reason I accept crypto is to HODL. Since I don’t offer anonymous web hosting, crypto in the sense of it, doesn’t make sense to every day user.
But hey, you got couple of bucks sitting in your wallet? I will take em
Those coins are sitting in my wallet, collecting dust, hoping for another major bull run.
If you can pay a year in advance a dedicated server in the range of a few hundred dollars per month, of course they will accept whatever shit coins you have. If you are going to pay just a dollar or two a month, maybe you might want to take that demanding attitude elsewhere (prefixing "friendly" to your post doesn't dent the your crap-shit attitude in the rest of post).
Nobody said about accepting all shitcoins. There are some good and liquid coins like Bitcoin Cash, Doge, ETH maybe some other.
I don't see any difference accept Bitcoin Cash/Doge/ETH vs BTC except that you do not lose money on high fees from BTC side to move you coins to exchange to sell them.
Furthermore, don't hold them if you need USD. There are easy to setup services that will help you accept your payments and convert profit immediately into USD without any loss and without any movements from your side.
best reminder would be go easy on our e-wallets!
I guess Paypal or credit/debit cards are only good for the first world countries...
friendly reminder as well, please no more than $7/year deal.
Peepal : let fuck this provider with my shit FX rate.
And with expensive pee fees.
You weren't exactly clear to what you meant by "coins." I made my statements based on your lack of specificity.
What kind of service converts coins to fiat for no fee?
I assume all LowEndTalk providers will honor AmitzCoins.
Don't use money or coins if you want to avoid pees, simple.
You can do trade with a host.
Yes, because I didn’t want it to look like an advertisement. My personal choose Bitcoin Cash (low fees, the same original bitcoin history and ledger, good development, possible to use all old Bitcoin stuff to accept it with little modifications)
Any service is about fee. I don't know who want to run service without profit. But the question is how big this fee. Anyway, it's not so hard to make you own with any preferable with simple API calls:
1) give user address and amount to pay (maybe address generated on your side).
2) immediately automatically move coins to exchange wallet
3) with API call sell it on the market.
Don't need to accept many shit coins but please accept USDT, it's easy to send USDT with 0.01$ fee and 1 USDT always equal 1 USD
So you want to spend $0.01 extra per transaction to use a cryptocurrency that is essentially worth the same as regular US dollars?
...why not just use USD/FIAT then?
what? doesn't a CC transaction cost something like 3%? A crypto tx doesn't, unless the payment gateway has other added fees
Why not cash-on-delivery option? Ofcourse the host sales team to come down to my house in different country for the tansaction. Then no transaction fees, except for the plane fare.
How will providers use USDT to pay their servers...? They’ll end up having to use an exchange anyway — might as well save the hassle and use regular moolah.
I do not recommend using USDT and keep money on this ledger :-) You can accept it and immediately move it to use system with real USD
Also, the fees for BTC really aren't that bad. I sent a $50 transaction just last week and paid a $0.40 fee for it, confirmed in < 40 mins. That sounds pretty high until you compare it to a $10 PayPal transaction where PayPal's fee (3.7% of transaction + $0.30 flat fee) would be: $0.69, almost double.
This is about to get more buyers who want to use cryptocurrency.
Not everyone likes Paypal, the fee is very high and if your local currency is not USD/EUR, they convert local currency to USD/EUR at very low rate
Reminder to providers: don’t worry about payment methods, if the deals are good enough THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO PAY
