Bitcoin Payment Processor Coinvoice Begins Accepting Payments
Coinvoice, a project from Conformal Systems, is the web's first cash-to-Bitcoin invoicing service. Coinvoice allows the business itself to be paid in bitcoins while continuing to invoice their customers in dollars.
“Coinvoice will really benefit businesses or independent contractors that want to continue to invoice their clients in dollars but who also want to receive bitcoins for the work they do. They can now do this without forcing their clients to adopt bitcoins themselves. We think this is a great way to lower the barrier to entry into the Bticoin ecosystem for certain businesses,” said Daniel Tobon, one of the Conformal team members.
“Coinvoice is also very valuable to foreign businesses with US clients who want to be paid quickly without having to worry about burdensome and expensive currency controls and money transfer fees. They can invoice locally and receive payments globally.”
Coinvoice plans to add several other payment options and the ability to invoice in other local currencies in the near future. Until then, they're continuing to work on making their payment settlement systems as quick and efficient as possible.
“Businesses want to accept bitcoin can now do so as quickly as they can settle a regular invoice. Even faster in some cases,” says Jacob Yocom-Piatt, CEO of Conformal Systems.
“Our goal is to give businesses the easiest, fastest and most reliable way to receive bitcoins.”
Conformal Systems is not new to the Bitcoin world. They are also the authors of btcd, an alternative full-node implementation of the bitcoin protocol. The cryptocurrency was a perfect fit for a company that was already heavily involved in the cryptography business with the development of their zero-knowledge backup software Cyphertite.
“We believe in Bitcoin,” says Mr. Yocom-Piatt.
“We think that providing these services will ultimately help Bitcoin become more mainstream and that's the real goal.”

Joining the ranks of Coinbase, MtGox and Blockchain, Bitcoin developers Stefan Thomas and Jeremias Kangas have released a lightweight Bitcoin payment processor of his own, with a twist: you do not have to trust it to use it. The way that all other payment processors to date have kept track of individual orders is by creating a unique address for each payment, and forwarding any payments that they receive to the merchant. This does prevent the main issue with not bothering with payment processors and instead just having a single address - namely, that if you receive a payment you have no....
