RE: GIFTOFF.COM now is accepting ALT COINS again for GIFT CARD purchases, no more massive bitcoin charges, you will need to use wallet like electrum for payment however.
That is top information and a great tutorial. Thanks. I read last week about a similar service for US only but it only accepted bitcoin and had only a very small choice of cards. This is a million times better. Open source shopping and gifting. Finally the cryptos are coming of age one step at a time.
Do you know of anyone pulling together a full resource of companies and shops that accept crypto as payment please ?
Your idea of people leaving gifts in amazon lockers is insanely brilliant, I need to look into whether it would work in SE Asia.
As for Thailand particularly, I use coins.co.th (also in philippines) which is amazing. sadly they only use bitcoin, and the transaction fee is a little pricey, but I can pay the electric bill, get phone credit...loads of useful daily spending tasks direcetly using the crypto in a wallet I have with them.
This is the future, and 'the future's so bright, I gotta wear shades' :-)

exciting ain't it? finally we can live like we want, putting in our value where it's needed, sidestepping crappy technologies and actually use the ones we want to use and support those eco systems. thanks for the props -- yeah i've got massive ideas bubbling about amazon lockers :) -- just getting new kit to be able to record stuff and i'll be all over it! :)
i've started an account @cryptocards which i think i'll extend to giftcards too, it's coming. bit by bit! :) -- i just paid the subscription on the ulysses markdown editor so i can easily deal with all these accounts :)
In philippines back in 2007 there was a small project set up to provide public street lockers just as safe storage points for the local homeless to keep their few bits of stuff safe, sadly it didnt get far.
Which brings me on to old fridges, which we have in Thailand at many motorcycle taxi stands, used as free exchange libraries. Im not sure the take up, I know I keep chucking a few english books in my local one, but I think the upcycling possiblities of old fridges are endless !!
Problem here in UK of course are short sighted local councils with their planning department and health and safety jobsworths, not to mention the Nimbys, but imagine dropping fridges in strategic locations to use as drop off points for food and covered in info stickers with advice and phone numbers for any issues the homeless have.
totally right, i worked for a council for five years in a computer department so i know what it's like first hand. you did see my post on the hunger project vending machine right? that's got legs and they got back in touch via instagram so that might go somewhere, of course i'll keep everyone up to date here.
btw, adding you to my steem auto voter.
I started writing the longest comment in the world so decided to make a blog post of it, please take a quick look. I stuck in a reference to you vending machine article :-)
Thanks for giving me my cause back!
not a problem man ;) will read :)
