Then, we invoice you.”<br /><h2><b>Tax Payment Processing With BTC</b></h2>“There are payment processors that have partnered with the government already. What we’re essentially doing is [functioning as] a layer on top that accepts bitcoin,” said Giannaros.<br />The cost for the tax payment service is a 1.87% fee for the payment processor and a flat $10 charge from snapCard.<br />“We have a government payment processor, like a credit card processor, that we run the transaction through. That’s the nuts and bolts of it.”<br />The electronic methods of submitting owed taxes have consisted of an echeck or a credit card. Many credit card processors charge between 2-3% to make a tax payment using plastic.<br /><blockquote>“There’s a lot of attributes to the US dollar that make it monopolistic in the US, and one is paying taxes. You have to pay in dollars,” Giannaros said. “At the end of the day, you still pay in dollars through us. But it kind of alleviates the end-to-end point. It’s using bitcoin to pay your taxes.”</blockquote><h2><b>SnapCard and Ecommerce</b></h2>SnapCard <a href="https://www.joinsnapcard.com/index.html" target="_blank">bills itself on its website</a> as ‘the easiest way to buy anything on the Internet using bitcoin’. The company regularly charges a 2% fee (<a href="https://medium.com/company-updates/95b628842f68" target="_blank">1% during the month of January</a>) when using the shopping cart service to pay for items with bitcoin, and uses a bookmarklet to enable the checkout process.<br />Once a user gets to the shopping cart stage of an online purchase, he or she clicks on the snapCard bookmarklet, which forwards the data to the company for bitcoin processing. The advantage of this is that, <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/overstock-opens-bitcoin-sales/">with the exception of Overstock.com</a>, large online retailers still don’t accept bitcoin as a payment method. Until that changes, those who want to buy items with BTC from Amazon or a majority of online retailers need to use a third-party service. SnapCard has even processed the <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1v3dmd/breaking_barriers_bought_a_mercedesbenz_using/" target="_blank">sale of a $90,000 Mercedes Benz</a> from a car dealership that would not accept BTC.<br />So far, snapCard has facilitated more than $300,000 in BTC transactions from an active base of over 2,500 users. In December, Giannaros and his co-founder Michael Dunworth <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/snapcards-founders-talk-bitcoin-volatility-early-adopters/">told CoinDesk in an interview</a> that they believed many of their customers were early bitcoin investors looking to spend their increasingly valuable bitcoins to promote the virtual currency.<br />SnapCard is currently being incubated at Boost VC, a San Mateo, CA-based startup accelerator that frequently <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/seven-bitcoin-startups-pitch-funding-boost-vc-demo-day/">financially backs bitcoin-based companies</a>. A few other bitcoin startups along with snapCard will be pitching to investors at Boost’s Winter Class Demo Day on 11 February.<br />It’s <a href="https://www.joinsnapcard.com/index.html" target="_blank">free to sign up with snapCard</a>. Customers have the option of linking their account to <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/companies/coinbase/">Coinbase</a> or getting an invoice to pay to a bitcoin address within five minutes of order processing.<br /><i><a href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-118144282/stock-photo-amount-owe-in-the-income-tax-return.html?src=eGdWoUcrNHmf2wOdHAYPVA-1-1" target="_blank">Tax payment image</a> via Shutterstock</i></div>

Colorado Dems Vote To Allow EBT Cards To Be allowed To Access Cash At ATM's In Pot Shops

I have no idea why this surprises me.<br /><br />Actually, I have no idea why this even needed to be voted on, it should be a No Brainer.<br /><br />I guess that explains how it got passed in the first place now that I think about it.<br /><br />What a crop of absolute idiots that got into office in that state.<br /><br /><br /><blockquote><a href="http://www.fox21news.com/news/story.aspx?id=994773#.Ute3R7Q9o3w"><b>Colorado won't ban public assistance at pot shops </b></a></blockquote><br /><blockquote>DENVER (AP) -- Colorado won't ban the use of public assistance at marijuana-shop ATMs, despite calls from both Republicans and the pot industry to ban it.<br /><br />A Colorado Senate committee voted 3-2 Wednesday to reject the GOP proposal to add marijuana shops to the list of places where recipients of public assistance can't use their government-issued EBT cards to access cash. The list already includes casinos, liquor stores and gun shops.<br /><br />Marijuana industry lobbyists argued for the bill, saying there's no evidence people on public benefits are using pot-shop ATMs and that the prohibition would assure the public that disability benefits or other entitlements aren't being used on pot.<br /><br />Democrats on the committee all voted against the idea. They said people in poor neighborhoods already have difficulty accessing ATMs and that the bill isn't needed.</blockquote><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdV4mQqazeMR9rHfcCB-pwNux0KKFPt4kSELzlbmQI5uNuSCZR5-3aK-HH3P6XS56vUXg7FG4KB58LmHc6zfNldjZdKXUPa98t-1k_ptznGMdjqxhqnr_PT5nO71nNgwynCNTJaknJW7uX/s1600/Banging-head-on-desk.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdV4mQqazeMR9rHfcCB-pwNux0KKFPt4kSELzlbmQI5uNuSCZR5-3aK-HH3P6XS56vUXg7FG4KB58LmHc6zfNldjZdKXUPa98t-1k_ptznGMdjqxhqnr_PT5nO71nNgwynCNTJaknJW7uX/s640/Banging-head-on-desk.gif" /></a></div><br /><br />Link found at <a href="http://www.fark.com/">FARK</a>.

Emma Watson in the family happily embrace new boyfriend

They own the company, which is engaged in real estate. <br /> <br /> Mr. and Mrs. Day said they are extremely satisfied with the news of Matthew's novel Emma. 57-year-old said Coralie: <br /> <br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"> We are very excited that he meets Emma Uoston and really want to meet her. She was very lucky to find such a wonderful young man. No one can say a bad word about Matt. He's charming. </blockquote><br /> In addition, she said that she is waiting for the visit of the pair: <br /> <br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"> After my mother's death Matt I became his second mother. I took him under his wing when he went to study at Oxford. And very proud of him. Matthew is very close to my son Harry, whose father and my first husband died. They have a lot in common. </blockquote><br /> Note, Matthew is not the first time<span class="st"> Janney</span> has to do with show business. His sister was studying medicine at the University, then dropped out and became a fashion designer. She meets a long time with Ben Lovett - one of the founders of the rock band Mumford & Sons. Soloist Marcus Mumford - husband of actress Carey Mulligan. The couple lives in New York and communicates well with Mulligan, and Keira Knightley. <br /> <br /> Matthew Janney speaks French and Russian languages, and also examines the modern and medieval languages ​​in college Oriel. At Oxford, he was considered the most eligible bachelor and the best rugby player. And last year he was in Russia studying in Yaroslavl, where he played in the team regbistov. <br /> <br /> Recall that in October 2011 Emma Watson arrived in the city of Oxford and began to study English in college Worcester.
