> If it's 0 confirmation, what exactly is checked? That's it's been broadcast to the network. > Convincing customers to give up the protections of CCs or other digital cash payments would be a very hard battle. No it won't, customers don't like sharing their credit card information online, it's why Paypal is still in business. > and for most consumers the slim advantages of Bitcoin are far outweighed by the numerous disadvantages. Not when they trust their vendors. I trust Amazon for example, I don't need to pay a few extra percent to the card company for consumer protection. Bad reviews work far better in getting a vendor to act.

>> No it won't, customers don't like sharing their credit card information online, it's why Paypal is still in business. Paypal is in business because it's easy, nothing to do with giving out CC details. >> Not when they trust their vendors. I trust Amazon for example, I don't need to pay a few extra percent to the card company for consumer protection. Then you'll end up paying a few percent to amazon to protect you from vendors in their marketplace. Comes down to the same thing. >> Bad reviews work far better in getting a vendor to act. Typical libertarian nonsense. It doesn't matter if I get ripped off, I'll leave a bad review! We don't need health regulations for restaurants, if I get food poisoning and die I'll just never eat there gain! Reality does not work that way, and we have all of recorded history to prove it.

  Libertarian nonsense huh, despite what I said being completely true on amazon, and me not being a libertarian but a bleeding heart liberal, I'm just going to say you're trolling for a political argument with such idiotic abandon that I'm not wasting another breath on you. Go troll reddit.

    I'm sorry you feel it's trolling, I'm not making a political point, and it's not how amazon works now, amazon are a broker in trust and take their cut, just like the companies you object to.
