Best Buy IdeaX

[#1]

Have you ever considered accepting Bitcoins as a payment option. This would seem like a great way to get some very tech savvy consumers, get the people who spend thousands on custom computers buying from Best Buy, and get free advertising by being listed on the Bit Coin merchant list.

I love all the feedback we are getting on this, and I appreciate the additional perspective on this form of payment. If you like this Idea please kudo it!

One more major advantage I didn't point out in my last post:

Unlike other payment methods (magstripe credit and debit cards, contactless credit cards, cash, gift cards), customers can easily pay with their smartphones, and they don't need a fancy NFC-capable phone to do it.  Any iPhone, Android, etc will work just fine so long as it has a camera to scan QR codes.  The only requirement is that the customer has to install an app for their phone and deposit money.

If Best Buy accepts Bitcoin, I won't have to futz around with cash or credit cards.  I can just pull out my phone, snap a picture, enter an amount, and send.  No need for the cashier to make change, no need to enter a PIN into a terminal, no need for a signature.  Just *beep* *tap* *tap* *tap* *tap* *tap* and done.
