I just left the farmers market and neither of my two vendors heard about the release or knew how to enable bitcoin payments

I am planning on going back tomorrow with clear instructions on how to enable it

Same for me — that’s why I went through this process so I can educate them next week.

But also why wasn’t an announcement blasted out to all merchants and a pop up configured in the app that should just allow them to enable bitcoin receipts

Agree — this should have been prompted upon the update of the app.

I did not even see the bitcoin conversion on the screens they were showing me…

This I found — Settings > banking > bitcoin.

It’s weird because even as a merchant with square there have been no announcements or emails. I would never have known about the feature at all if not for nostr. I wonder why square doesn’t put out the word en masse to all merchants?

Agree, it’s strange. Should be a big marketing push. Maybe it’s coming.

We live in the orange 🍊 bubble.

We can see how accurate these steps are tomorrow. My dude ran out of raw milk and shrimp today so it gives me an excuse to go back

Based on the above I think the issue is that they need to be on a computer…

This cannot be facilitated through the merchant app they actually use on their phones?

Not sure if computer makes a difference — I did this whole process on my phone and was able to at least set up the square btc wallet. Gonna log in on computer to see if I missed anything.

Will report back tomorrow

Anyone that frequents legion park market or the viscaya farmers markets in Miami should be able to pay the milk/egg/meat guy with bitcoin starting tomorrow

Also need to work on the veggie stand…
