Bitcoin for Journalists Hacks/Hackers Berlin

Editor's Notes

  1. Bitcoins Berlin is a Bitcoin Startup Incubator that develops projects involved in the development and implementation of Bitcoin, as well as a consulting service for businesses and freelancers looking for help on accepting Bitcoin
  2. Protocol: Agreement of terms, like email or HTTP, used in two waysCurrency: Money you can store on your computer, phone or online walletPayment Network: A cheap-to-free, fast and efficient payment network without third-partiesCombines features of banks, credit cards, escrow, lawyers all into one transparent system
  3. Since Bitcoin is all about getting rid of third-parties, I will focus on donations and subscriptionsMay have heard about it in the news regarding its high price recently, but I’m going to talk about Bitcoin’s real value… the functionality
  4. Scalable: Journalists/Pubs small to large accept Bitcoin. Scalable from bloggers to WikileaksTransparent:Keeps public record of donations via block chain (optional)Micropayments: Small donations more serious option, because it’s more safe than credit cardsBitcoin Community: more apt to donate, online video journalist Ben Swann received over 202 BTC (140k Euro)
  5. Fast: Instantly receive paymentsMicropayments make it possible to pay per article, f.ex. Only $0.10, making it easier to simply pay than look for a pirated copy (track views/traffic)Bitmonet: no transaction fees, and no account sign-up required
  6. Travel: especially big cities where trading/using bitcoin can be easily doneMulti-sig: Kill fee scenario where half of payment is authorized when article is received, other half authorized when article is published
  7. Still not widely accepted in comparison: although if your readers already happen to have a lot of bitcoins, then it makes no difference
