Is there anything like Bitpay for Ethereum? I haven't seen any major retailers that directly accept ETH, which is a pretty significant use case for any currency.
While directly accepting ETH is certainly beneficial, it would make more sense for retailers to accept an erc20 based alternative to BTC (see BTH [1]). Ethereum is a platform. Digital currency is but a single application.
