We run and online market place for Android TV Boxes. We have recently began to accept bitcoin, however the purchases through this method have been minimal.

Our wonder is, if bitcoin is truly being used as a currency or not. If so, what did you last purchase with your bitcoin?

The biggest problem is that 1) not a lot of people are spending their bitcoins yet and 2) not everybody who spends bitcoin needs Android TV Boxes Wink If you were selling something in higher demand, the bitcoin sales would probably be higher.

Does it cost anything to offer the option?

Yes of course, however - through analysing our traffic we can see the majority of users that have accessed the site through bitcoin talk still choose to checkout via debit or paypal. We are thinking that a lot of adopters of bitcoin would prefer to hold their coins as they have a lot of confidence in the currency being a 'gold mine'  Smiley
