I’ve been reviewing software for PCMag since 2008, and I still get a kick of seeing what's new in video and photo editing software, and how operating systems change over time. PC hardware is nice, but it’s not much use without innovative software. Or maybe you prefer shopping at De Louvois (Opens in a new window), where you can always pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more…assuming you’re in the market for a Bentley, Lamborghini, or maybe some upscale real estate. Beyond Amazon, and The Future of PaymentsĪlthough Amazon doesn’t accept direct cryptocurrency payments, several other shopping sites do accept the new form of money, including Fancy, Microsoft, NewEgg, and OverStock. This makes the process more complicated than with some of the other options included in this roundup. When paying for your purchase on Shopping.io, unless you’re using SPI coin or another somewhat obscure “Partnership token” currency, you have to go through a third-party gateway:, Utrust, or. If you hold a goodly sum of the company’s SPI tokens in your Shopping.io account (starting at $3,000 worth), you get up to 10% discounts when shopping on Amazon, eBay, or Walmart. Shopping.io lets you purchase not only from Amazon, but also from Walmart and eBay using your choice of over 100 cryptocurrencies. I went through the arduous process of canceling my Venmo account because of all the illegitimate requests and remittances of money to it. I should note that I’m not a huge fan of apps like Cash App and Venmo that let people display payment-receiving IDs, because they all too often lead to illegitimate uses like criminals paying you with funds from stolen credit cards, resulting in big legal headaches. If you have a plastic Cash card, just enter the info from that. In the app, you have to hit the three-dot overflow menu and enable Show Cash Card Info and type in your PIN to see the number, expiration date, and CVV number. After that, to buy something on Amazon, you just use the debit card info on the shopping site. One you’ve earned a pile of Bitcoin in the Cash App, you can choose Sell, which dumps the amount you specify into your Cash App balance. (So much for anonymity in cryptocurrency.) To send or receive Bitcoin on the standard blockchain, you need to verify your identity with a driver’s license and selfie. For example, one promotion was for a 5% bonus in Bitcoin if you buy groceries with the card. You can even earn Bitcoin on Cash Card purchases. The Cash App (which comes from the people that make Square payment processors) lets you easily purchase Bitcoin but unfortunately, it doesn’t support any other cryptocurrencies yet. ![]() How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication.How to Record the Screen on Your Windows PC or Mac.How to Convert YouTube Videos to MP3 Files.How to Save Money on Your Cell Phone Bill.How to Free Up Space on Your iPhone or iPad.How to Block Robotexts and Spam Messages.
