Here's what I ran into the other day. I go to a website and click a "Pay with Bitcoin" button and am taken to a page where I have to send X BTC to Y address. Ok, easy to copy and paste them, I've done this plenty of times in the past. And then I see "don't pay directly from an exchange!" because they take longer to send transactions or don't pay enough in transaction fees or something. I used a regular local wallet for a time but have been using Coinbase as my wallet ever since, and now that won't work. I've normally been able to pay via Coinbase very easily. Let's just download the blockchain... 120 GB? Well, better grab an old external hard drive... 26 hours to sync, despite my 200 Mbps cable connection? I guess I'm not paying with Bitcoin today. I can definitely see how paying with Bitcoin could be annoying to an average consumer nowadays. |
