		e1ven on Dec 5, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How To Accept Bitcoin On Your Website I'd love to transparently accept BTC on a website I'm building, and have the merchant company send me a check every month.. I'm really hesitant to use (and thus implicitly recommend) Coinbase, since they're asking for Bank username/passwords from users. Even thought it's not necessary, it makes these guys really look rather Shady to me, so I'm really reluctant to use their solution. Has anyone else worked with Bitpay or other providers in this space? I'd love to hear how things went for you.

Founder here - just wanted to clarify that bank username/password is not required, you can also use deposit verification. But glad to hear you're interested in accepting bitcoin. Thanks!

I think it is reasonable to remove the bank username/password requirement. All it does is raise red flags for potential users.
