BitPay Partners with 3dcart, Giving 16,000 Online Merchants the Ability to Accept Bitcoin
 

In a strategic move that could more than double the number of bitcoin merchants on its roster, BitPay has announced a partnership with 3dcart, a well-established eCommerce platform for online store owners. 3dcart CTO Jimmy Rodriguez recognizes the growing demand and popularity of bitcoin and was attracted to the simplicity and ease of use that BitPay brings to bitcoin:

?Bitcoins are quickly becoming a popular form of payment online and BitPay simplifies it for internet retailers that want to offer it as a payment alternative, without the need of a deep understanding on Bitcoins. The built-in BitPay integration is one of the flag features of the new 3dcart 6.0 version.?

Haha I think Bitcoin has a real chance of becoming an accepted online currency both in adult and mainstream and I wish more adult sites would take this on board because it will stop things like CC fraud and chargebacks.

Ohh i posted that one a few weeks back it was on the bitcoin forum and made a lot of bitcoiners very happy indeed :)

They have some pretty big clients like http://www.coffeebean.com/ and the New York Times

In addition to our partners from Avalara, we would also like to extend a special thank you to our friends at PayPal, V.me by Visa, 4-Tell, Canada Post and Shipworks for all of their support. Oh, and not to mention our incredible e-merchants at The New York Times, Old Time Candy, Alex Orthopedic, Modern Man Bags, NaughtyArt, WaterFilters.net and American RV Company. Our experience at IRCE wouldn?t have been the same without them, and we couldn?t be more excited about the incredible industry advancements we?ll be making together in the coming months.

In other news criminal statists are setting themselves up to try and take a cut.

Bitpay just allows people to accept bitcoins. However the "new to bitcoin" people or the ones that have 0 can't purchase easily. I think that's the major problem that needs to be solved. Wire is the safest way for bitcoin sellers. But the best way for merchants is to have a seamless integration for them to buy bitcoins with instant bank transfer or credit card (won't happen because of CB). So far all I have found is coinbase but it's not easily trusted I don't think.

Yes to accept bitcoin is super easy with services like BitPay. But the only guys having bitcoins to spend are a few hackers, hardware geeks, poker players, and drug traders. Whoever is not one of hacker, gambler or drug trader, if got bitcoins, is an "investor": will just trade them like forex as a way to bet and invest, but not use to buy services.

What I noticed is that several guys do not want to use credit card, not only for fraud fear, but also to hide definitely (to wife or others) they accessed porn - in our case, cams, could be a major issue in case of wifes, I mean to be caught dealing with real girl rather than wank on picture. With bitcoin they may feel "anonymously" paying, and so no one able to tell they spent in porn or virtual affair. Some are using those UKash and Paysafecard vouchers, I see that popular (via Epoch) to paranoids. In fact it is easier to buy a voucher in local shops and enter its code online, than buy bitcoins and use them, I mean prepaid vouchers are already more usable (and popular) than bitcoin.

Yes the sale is final = no chargeback it appeals a lot. As a program we waste considerable time double checking all the sales and still some will chargeback (friendly fraud: it was cardholder to buy, but he will claim to bank "it was not me"... this can't be forecasted as ip address, cardholder et all is real). I was going to add "and no visa/mc fees", but if bitcoin drops 20% value in a few days, that's more than the fee or even the worst biller. You could say "but if it goes up..."... well not everyone like things going up and down, is a psychological paranoia for many, they will resist the bitcoin (and whatever volatile coin) use.
