The option to pay in bitcoins has been on the site for a while
Why only anouncing it now?

Because we have not announced it yet, and we feel now is a good time to do it.

You still get free shipping with PayPal, so I'd imagine it would just be the same. Try it out.

Out of interest is there a way to to show what the basket is in terms of BTC?

I for one wouldn't want to place and order before finding out if I had enough BTC sitting around etc

You'll have to manually check the exchange rate I think.

Or some sort of browser extension might be available.

Considering the volatility on the value of Bitcoins this is a brave move.

Do you have the BTC instantly exchanged, as a currancy it's a lot riskier compared to sterlin/dollar. Nice to see more companies taking it though.

 

[JamesM]

It's changed instantly into GBP so there is no risk involved

A little video about it.

Nice. I was going to ask the same qn about exchange rate and volatility, but it's been covered.

I assume your prices would need to change hourly? Or you have built in a contingency into the prices that covers on a statistical basis?
