I am giving away 5 bitcoins as a reward in return for getting 13 real-world businesses to start accepting bitcoin payments.
In order to receive the reward, you must prove that you have convinced and helped a real business with a physical presence (not online-only businesses) start accepting bitcoin payments for in-person transactions. Its bitcoin acceptance policy must then be advertised at the physical location and on the internet.
This may not be a business that previously accepted bitcoins. The minimum business size is approximately 3,000 USD monthly revenue or 4 employees (possible exceptions).
Proof should be provided in this thread so that members of the bitcoin community can judge the validity of claims.
5 bitcoins will be distributed at the end of October as follows: the reward for the largest business will be 1 bitcoin, 0.5 bitcoins for the next 4 largest, and 0.25 bitcoins for the next 8.
Love this idea its why ive gotten so into bit coin and this forum because the people here are really looking out for everyone in the end. so if i can get my local well established fruit and veg shop into bit coin i could win a bit coin. and spend my bit coin buying good healthy food . I like a challenge
