Topic: Will I be able to use Bitcoins at the mall in 2014??? (Read 9408 times)
Everyone should keep sending stuff.
What if malls made their own cryptocurrency
It 's already possible to pay with bitcoins in some shops
Like a said there's no way a merchant will accept Altcoins, there's simply no added benefit of accepting dozens of different coins of the same kind, most aren't even compatible with each other.
There are merchants that accept alt coins, and there will be a lot more coming in 2015. Sure, it doesn't compare to the amount of Bitcoin merchants, but they're not trash if people are willing to trade with them.

well, we sure hope so, that would be really great. 
Now many big companies are starting accept bitcoin. So it's not so far that the world will accept it fully.I have really much confidence that soon bitcoin will be accepting in the malls.
maybe they can make a kiosk where you can buy vouchers to all the stores. i doubt that will happen though.
A big store in the mall is what Bitcoin really needs though.
Agreed, If we could get a store like Macys or Sears to except bitcoin I think others would follow. However I am not sure that with the confirmation times of bitcoin that this would be a feasible option for retailers.
I could easily see a store like Brookstone being the first to accept BTC. Or heck who knows...maybe the Microsoft store will try to beat Apple to the punch and have their brick and mortar store accept BTC...
Doesn't this solely depend on the store itself?

why are bit coiners so obsessed with retail? its such a small part of the economy?
But such a HUGE part of the public consciousness.
who are mostly not haveing money.
which retail adoption so far has seen any real increase in BTC value?
Lol nothing I suppose, Overstock might've helped a bit, but basically nothing. I suppose if the Xapo debit cards actually come out, since they're supposed to soon, would increase public attention, but I'm not sure.
I am sure in 2015 you will get to use it on more place 
That is what I thought about 2014 in 2013
Oh, well that is good. But we need something that is in Strip malls.

Once Best Buy, Wal Mart, McDonalds etc accept it, then you will have something to go on.

There are not any major retailers that are in the public consciousness accepting BTC, so there is literally nothing to say that about.

Has anyone seen Bitcoins at stores yet?
Please add emails if you want us to send them out.
Selling bitcoins at stores is a recipe for disaster. If bitcoin were sold "digitally" at a store, as in you would give the store cash and the store would send the bitcoin to an address that you provide then you would have instances where near minimum wage clerks accidentally send the wrong amount or send it prior to confirming payment.Please add emails if you want us to send them out.
If stores were to sell "physical" bitcoin then it would be very difficult for scammers to somehow empty addresses without actually buying the bitcoin. They could do this by revealing the private keys, taking a picture then leaving the store then transferring the coin out of the address being sold. If the store were to sell something that somehow displayed private keys upon purchase of the bitcoin then the private keys would be vulnerable to an attacker watching the printer that the private key is printed on, taking a picture of the private key as it is printed, and stealing the coins from the customer.
No, I mean being accepted at stores.
And if they were going to sell them at stores it would be an ATM.
Someone should definitely start putting them in malls. They have security and everything.
The best way to do it would just be to find a store that would let you put it in their and ALSO create themselves a wallet and put a bitcoin sticker in their window, then you can get in to paying them in Bitcoin.
The ATM is something the store owner can't do themselves. The sticker is just to let the people know that they can exchange their money for coins. And you just have to pay the guy or lady rent (for the space) in Bitcoins.
