bitpay

Don't you ever wonder why Coinbase and Bitpay are so adamant about not releasing real figures for anything?

How are miners going to get companies like bitpay and coinbase to switch to their fork?

This works great on rare occasions but bitpay isn't going to be able to afford to police transactions with their fees.

Payment processors like BitPay and Coinbase accept zero confirmation transactions for small amounts, simply because the costs of double-spending 0 confirm are massive.

Microsoft does not accept Bitcoin -- BitPay accepts bitcoin and Microsoft accepts dollars.

I'd be curious to see what the active merchants per month actually are for Bitpay and Coinbase.

In Argentina we have the top development team of BitPay, developing cutting edge stuff like Copay, Bitcore Wallet Service, etc.

People like Matias Alejo Garcia, and Manuel Araoz (now a BitPay alumni).

BitPay is only counting purchases from verified merchants.

This is general a pain in the ass which is why companies like Bitpay and Coinbase are so popular with almost every merchant using one or the other.

Additionally I recall BitPay saying that their traffic goes up when the price goes up, as people find that they are suddenly rich and splash out.

No, Coinbase and BitPay accept 0-confirmation transactions when you pay a vendor by publishing a Bitcoin transaction through the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network, if the vendor has set it up to do so.

Bitpay knows how important this is, they are opensourcing a lot of cool stuff...

Bitpay released tons of details on last Bitcoin Black Friday and this year their only statement was that its not all about the numbers.
