Can you pay your rent with Bitcoin in a way that your landlord doesn't have to be a bitcoiner?
A NoCoiner is asking.

Strike maybe?
If they have Strike, they don't have to ever touch Bitcoin. Or Opennode to auto convert when received.
Strike Bill Pay to pay an ACH transfer is probably the easiest way.
Yes. Use nostr:npub19mf4jm44umnup4he4cdqrjk3us966qhdnc3zrlpjx93y4x95e3uq9qkfu2 to just send them sats via eTransfer in a completely non-custodial way (in Canada anyway)
My personal experience: I have two landlords. One is a large investment company who manages my apartment complex in San Diego. There’s no way to pay them in Bitcoin. I’ve asked. They admit that there’s a demand for it from a few tenants, but not enough for them to invest the time and money to incorporate a Bitcoin payment gateway into their site.
My second landlord is a twenty-six year old dude who owns my condo on the Vegas strip. He’s more than happy to accept Bitcoin for rent payments.
I’ve found people most likely to accept Bitcoin are individuals who are self employed or own their own little corps. The hair stylist, the Uber driver who offers private driving services, the bar owner, and in some cases doctors and dentists who own their own practice.
But landlords? Never with large corps, but you’ll occasionally get lucky with private owners who know and trust you and happen to be Bitcoin enthusiasts.
Strike bill pay ftw 🙌
Strike Bill Pay; it's exactly how I've been paying my rent in sats since the feature launched.
Fold or Strike
Maybe to his bitcoin wallet inside Revolut app? So the landlord can transfer it into money easily?
In this scenario, just assume that the landlord sees Bitcoin as toxic and doesn't want to touch it at all
This is for the US, right? Can you pay the rent with your bank account or is this just direct cash/check to the landlord?
BitcoinWell has direct billers and etransfer in Canada but not sure about US. I'm guessing your landlord isn't a large rental firm? I think IBEX allows bitcoin to fiat transfers via their service. That's if your landlord wants another account to manage, not sure what fees would be like.
This won't help you, but BullBitcoin in Canada allows bitcoiners to pay direct to bank accounts, billers or e-transfer. Maybe someone else knows of something similar in the US.
sounds like strike billpay is the fix for this specific situation in the US
