here's what makes me chuckle a bit - for years people have been saying how we need a micropayment system in adult, and now there is one.
2 months ago I had no experience od bitcoin, and being the complete tech-idiot that I am, assumed it was too complicated. Took me about 3 days, but I found out it isn't that complicated at all to get a wallet and so on, and make it secure, and how to get MultiBit installed on my comp. It's no more 'difficult' than people using a computer for the first time, the internet for the first time, a smartphone for the first time, and obviously you only have to look at where we are with those 3 things.
A micropayment system that has a tiny, tiny, transaction fee, and a form of payment where the end user can't get their bitcoin banged - a real concern for an unbelievably high amount of porn surfers (pornsites - don't give them your cc details, you'll get charged god knows what, completely untrustworthy, etc).
Yet savvy business owners here still don't get how accepting bitcoins as payment works, and think you charge in bitcoins instead of what actually happens (you charge in dollars and receive the bitcoin equivalent, making the btc/usd exchange irrelevant).
A micropayment system where the end user feels protected from banging or fraud, where you can't get any chargebacks, and yet people are more worried about the fact you can't automatically rebill. Not that the customer *might* not get a 2nd month, but assuming the customer *definitely* won't get a 2nd month or more.
Whether it's bitcoin that stays the distance in the end or not, how, at this moment, is btc not a good thing for the industry?
