I think I have this figured out.
Bruce has a friend who owns a Chinese restaurant that said she would be interested in accepting Bitcoin.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=1788.0
Most likely he has showed her the new bit-pay mobile app that makes it easy to accept Bitcoin for stores and she is probably setting it up this weekend.
So...a national chain restaurant will be accepting Bitcoins.
It would be like a Subway store owner putting the bit-pay app on his phone and accepting Bitcoins at his store and the story being "Subway restaurant now accepts Bitcoin!"

Just went to hooters.com to see their tech savvy implementation... Yeah, that looks about right

My friend just mentioned that Hooters would make sense for this.
It is the kind of place that some people may not want to have show up on their credit card bill where their wife might see it.
Cash and Bitcoins are good for this kind of thing.

Thank you so much!
I love it, and my girl friend is pissed because I may soon have a reason to go to Hooters every day for lunch!

I hope it is true!

Are you gullible? Male? Preferably pre-pubescent? Bruce Wagner's PeeWee Playhouse is open for business!

It's 6AM in New York now. If there is a restaurant accepting Bitcoins this weekend, it should be open within the next few hours. I guess we'll see.

It must be "this weekend" in the US by now. Wonder when Bruce is planning on making his big announcement.

Years ago, I had this idea of a restaurant chain that caters to women based on the same theme as Hooters. The name? Hamptons. I pictured it standing room only, every night.

If this is true, I'll bet it's a franchisee rather than the parent corporation. Often a franchisee will own a few locations.
It would be very stupid for a franchisee to do something like this without approval from the parent company.

somebody just tell me what the name of the chain is already or can we rename the subject "bruce wagner annoys people on the internet by making delusional claims that are true in some sense, false in some sense, and meanginless in some sense"[/color]

Are you aware of the script capabilities in bitcoin? They will enable transactions of the sort that require say 3 out of 5 signature to spend funds. This is exactly what is needed in a corporate accounting context. This same capability can also be used for multi-factor authentication to protect high value wallets. I believe Gavin and other core developers are doing work to enable these capabilities as we speak.
I have not heard of this. I will definitely look into it. Sounds like just what is needed to bring Bitcoin to the big time.
Oh yeah, it is sick awesome. I want some [A and B] or C action please.

Um, this was the Bitcoin forum, not the sex workers forum. Guess with Bruce being in both worlds it was an easy mistake to make though.

I don't think it's (say, using bit-pay) any different from paypal or credit cards. I don't think you need to implement anything on top of that to the accounting side. Do you match every single payment to every credit card transaction? I don't think so... If there is a deficit, there is enough information you can use to investigate. Otherwise, accept payments, transfer money to your accounts in regular intervals, etc. IMO, training staff to use the payment method is the bottleneck here.

Wow, I hadn't thought of its potential usefulness in corporate accounting. Notary service without having to trust any single entity and without cost.
What I'm saying is though, you don't have to implement major accounting changes to start accepting payments with bit-pay.

What I am talking about is on the accounting end. When there is one person who controls the business account and checks and accounting then it is an easy transition to a Bitcoin wallet. But with a corporation with accounting staff or off-site accounting services with many people in charge of small bits of purchasing and making deposits/withdrawals it makes things more complicated. Not that Bitcoin cannot be adapted to such an environment, but that we do not currently right now today have tools that deal with this type of environment. We just are not at that point yet. In my opinion.
