Revolutionary Bitcoin Coupon Service Launches
News provided by LocalBitcoins Qy on Monday 23rd Dec 2013
Localbitcoins.com, the leading online marketplace for trading bitcoins with people in your area has introduced a redeemable coupon service, making it the most hassle free way to receive bitcoins.
The new feature aims to streamline the exchange of bitcoins for in person cash payments by removing the need for 3rd party payment processors and lengthy customer identification protocols.
The redeemable coupons offer several advantages over current trading methods for both parties involved. Buyers significantly reduce the risk of identity theft by providing on the spot identification to the trader who in turn has peace of mind with a fast cash payment. Buyers can also check the authenticity of the coupon by scanning the QR code or address.
The coupons are also tied into the LocalBitcoins_sell variable which makes the transaction fair for the trader and buyer by fixing the price to account for 24 hour market volatility.
Jeremias Kangas, CEO of LocalBitcoins.com said:
“The redeemable coupons are a fantastic way for Bitcoin traders to provide an offline service to friends, family and buyers in their area in local denomination”
“Buyers don’t need to endure the lengthy process of finding a currency exchange and or payment processor that operates in their jurisdiction, not to mention the risk of uploading sensitive documents such as passports”
