Opened large online electronics store accepting Bitcoin

Store BitcoinStore is open in beta testing. The range of the store - more than 500,000 items of computers, components, laptops, printers, televisions and much more. Prices for many products are lower than at Amazon or buy.com. According to store owner Roger Vera, this is possible not only because he works directly with large wholesalers (Roger Ver is not a newcomer to e-commerce, he owns a MemoryDealers store), but also because he does not spend a penny on payment processing - Only Bitcoin is accepted on the site. To make it easier to compare prices, they are indicated in dollar terms. The course with the accuracy of the second decimal place coincides with the course of MtGox.

While in beta testing, you can order a product worth at least $ 1,000. If trade goes (to continue to work with major suppliers, the store’s turnover should be at least $ 3,200,000 a year), the range may soon increase to one million items.

The appearance of such a large store is a significant event for the young cryptocurrency. Too often, she is accused of being of no interest to anyone except miners, speculators and drug criminals on sites like Silk Road. Now it will be possible to buy much more completely legal goods for bitcoins.

This is not the only event of this kind in recent months. In August, Bitinstant owner Charlie Shrem talked in the IRC chat about his company planning to issue a payment card that will become a bridge between Bitcoin and traditional economies. As of November, preparations for the issue of the card are under way, according to Shrem in the bitcointalk.org forum thread, but refuses to disclose details at the urgent request of Mastercard, bankers and lawyers involved in preparing the card.

It is worth mentioning that in October, the Bitcoin Foundation , created to standardize, support and popularize cryptocurrency, began working.
