did you only go to places that had previously setup and accepted bitcoin? i've tried 3 places locally that have square terminals. each of them don't have the option to accept bitcoin. a 4th location works, because i set them up to accept bitcoin a few months ago when you had to manually opt-in to accepting bitcoin. i thought last month this changed and was now allowed everywhere, outside NY State, but i haven't found that to be the case yet.

Buying eggs, coffee, and wine on square terminals is how Bitcoin stops being a thesis and starts being money

All of them manually opted in. One vendor was using Zeus before square made it easier. Another I convinced to turn on the week prior, knew very little of bitcoin before that, until I explained to him why I live on Bitcoin. It’s my understanding that the default option is only available to vendors who have that tablet with a customer facing screen that shows a Cash App QR code. But the QR code is a secret lightning invoice too. But they would have had to update their firmware.

That’s right. We gotta spend it. It breathes life into this organism.

Interesting anecdote. Average on-chain transaction volume: 380k tx/day. Your experience represents 0.000026% of that.

cool. thanks for the info.

I heard that the rollout wasn’t universal only with people that got set up with square AFTER 31 March was it automatic.

That’s interesting. I have never heard that before. I wonder if that also is a firmware related situation.

Bit of both. They have to do a KYB reverification and update their software/firmware (what’s the difference?)
