This is good to know. I've already started making a list of merchants in my area that use Square. Some of them have already told me they would accept bitcoin if they could. This is much easier than convincing people to use coinos or BTCpayServer.

i read all of that last week and didn't know if merchants had to specifically opt-in. it sounds like they do and i understand why. i will be completely surprised if merchants do this, unless they themselves are bitcoiners. i hope im wrong.

thank you for your detailed answer. i was hoping to pay with bitcoin a the places in my town that i frequent, but they're not bitcoiners, so i doubt they'll opt-into bitcoin payments unless there's a clear marketing campaign and advantage for them.

Most obvious benefit is zero transaction fees with bitcoin. They can have 100% fiat conversion.

Just remember that these business owners have staff. The staff don't make the rules. Don't assume the owner is standing there checking you out.
