Well this is a great news to me.bitcoin and uber both of them are becoming very much popular in our world.so it will be very much helpful to pay those uber driver with bitcoin.
Hopefully, they will. Just don't know which one they will accept.
Heard some Chinese cab apps considering accepting crypto.
well it is such a good initiative from uber as tipping alternative to uber drivers but not all uber drivers will benefit from this because some are not quite familiar about bitcoin but it is a big advantages to some drivers who had a bircoin wallet, i suggest that don't make it as an alternative payment because it is impatient to wait for a payment confirmation than waiting for a booking.
Meanwhile, bitcoin just got integrated with Uber for tipping drivers. Isn't that a good news?

Well it is good news to us like in Philippines uber is famous and it could really help if they will accept bitcoin as payment though it is very expensive but if it comes to bitcoin it is okay. But here in my place still.I haven't seen any uber so I hope there will be here soon and also integrated with bitcoin as payment
It's a good start. Waiting to see when one can pay the driver with BTC, not only the tip.

i think if uber really used bitcoin on their transportation services, then i will trying to used uber and trying to pay with bitcoin. i hope the fee services can be adjust for my city and they will give some fix fee from one place into other place. i think in the future, there will be many of services like uber will be applying this too.

thats a great idea! combination of hightech innovation in both transport and monetary aspect. a truly world changer. but in other countries like philippines whos not a change hugger, sad to say that us filipinos cannot use this breakthrough. maybe in future when the there is no corrupt and selfish officials in our government. but the idea of uber on bitcoin is great.
It is a good news but why tip? Why not just integrate it as a payment method instead? Tipping a driver who has no idea what bitcoin is or even have a wallet (except a wallet is also integrated for the drivers) is going to end up being a waste. Unless you have all the strength in the world to start explaining bitcoin to the driver and setting up a wallet for him before your trip ends.
I'm pretty sure that Uber isn't the company behind this. It is only one single driver that is accepting bitcoin as tip.
As you said, obviously being able to tip in bitcoin is good. But what would be infinitely better would be to have an actual payment method as bitcoin on the uber app itself, so you can pay for rides directly with bitcoin.
But i'd take that too - better than nothing. Plus, even though this driver might not represent the majority of uber drivers, he could influence other drivers into accepting bitcoin tips as well, or even potentially let the customer pay in bitcoin directly(might be violating tos of uber though).
That was confirmed a long time ago. Anyone anywhere can choose to accept tips in bitcoin but that doesn't mean the company is now accepting it. They should though. I don't see how there would be a downside to them other than price volatility.
Nice to read this thread ... i really really like to ride with uber it feels good to me
Then better if uber accept bitcoin for payment
Then better if uber accept bitcoin for payment
Bitcoint on uber sounds good. Since the uber is already using online system, bitcoin is good for them. But not all uber drivers uses bitcoins. They prefer cash money because it is more easy to use than bitcoin. But it is up to uber if they will use bitcoin for their service or stay on what it is now.

There are many things have just happened to uber and because of that, I do not think that Uber has time to think about new payment method like bitcoin. Moreover, bitcoin transactions require confirmation from miners. Customers will never like to wait for the transaction to be confirmed because it will take us a lot of time
love it ,bitcoin has become more international since 2013.integrating the system would could be considered as a wise step as it would be advantageous for both ways .Really excited to be working with all over the world soon after.

That's a good news since Uber in the Philippines is very popular. Actually it is more popular than the traditional taxi. If they are going to accept bitcoin, much better. But the transaction fee plus the rate of meter, isn't that a bit expensive? Anyway, this is a good help for bitcoin because this will promote bitcoin more. And hopefully bitcoin will be a part of people for their everyday lives. Good job Uber.
The fares are still paid in fiat or card. Bitcoin is just for tipping and it's optional, at least for now.
Its just for a tip? It would be a waste if drivers aren't that serious about bitcoin, those btc will just end up as burned BTCs. Was the tip for the drivers or to the app itself? If uber will handle it all including the tips then I guess those btcs goes to uber's wallet.
This is really good news to the long term investers such that the horizon is been broaden but if you are a regular user and trying to pay and tip others its quiet expensive paying the transaction fee and all that.
That is a great thibg because UBER is getting popular all over the world. I also use it frequently and now it will simplify my life, for giving tipps for a good drivers.

so this apps will allow bitcoiners to give tips for the drivers who will served a convenient way for them, but it is not the way of paying the servicehttps://twitter.com/Melt_Dem/status/895466611477544960
itself right? let see how this tweets will bring up something for both btc and uber system.
Well,as a matter of fact ,it is not far for Uber customers to use Bitcoin processes in transfering funds or paying bills. It will even speed up transactions and it is very bemeficial for customers. I agree that Uber must support this campaign.
This is interesting for us who uses bitcoin here. Bitcoin is ganing more attention so that means More attention + More demand = Higher price of bitcoin on the market because of the demand for thoes who wants to use it. but, im thinking that the transaction would be worst if bitcoin hits the price range of 8,000+ Usd. it's kinda like you're going to tip the driver for 0.0005Btc then the transaction fee would go up to 0.001.
