Thanks to the passage of HB436 by New Hampshire’s legislature, we will be re-opening our doors to New Hampshire residents beginning today, August 3rd. HB436 permits certain digital currency businesses, including BitQuick, to operate without special state licensing. The new law clears the path for New Hampshire’s residents to benefit more fully from the innovation occurring in the world of cryptocurrency. “We’re thrilled to welcome New Hampshire customers back to the BitQuick platform, and commend the New Hampshire Governor and state legislature for allowing bill HB436 to pass, which makes it possible for companies like BitQuick to operate and serve customers in this great state.” - Chad Davis, Director of Operations for BitQuick NH residents may now visit our Buy and Sell pages, as appropriate, to begin an order on…

  In response to the recent events happening on the Bitcoin network, we are providing a general overview of the events taking place and guidance to our customers during this period. To date, there have been no major disruptions to the Bitcoin network or Bitcoin services, and we do not expect there to be any issues for all buyers and most sellers until mid November. We support the compromising efforts of Segwit2x, and the activation of Segwit. Sellers who would like to claim their “Bitcoin Cash” after August 1st should continue reading for further guidance.   What’s happening? For several years there has been discussion about scaling the maximum allowable block size on the Bitcoin network in order to increase transaction throughput.

Hello Bitcoiners! It’s been a bit since we last published a blog, but we’re thrilled to begin offering informative, interesting, and useful content to our readers once again! What We’ve Been Up To Since the Athena Bitcoin acquisition last June, the platform has grown considerably and the mobile website has been optimized with an improved process flow (a process flow that will soon be implemented on the desktop site as well). We will also be adding a new authentication method for our sellers in the coming days. Things To Come BitID Earlier this year in March, we received the unfortunate news that Clef would be shutting down for good. We’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with the Clef team the past two years and offer their fantastic…

Edit on 1/19/2016 - BitQuick.co has officially put its support behind Bitcoin Classic, following suit with other industry leaders. We believe that Bitcoin Classic is the most suitable candidate for increasing the current block size. The blocksize debate has recently become a very hot topic amongst the Bitcoin community, even resulting in /r/Bitcoin going completely unmoderated for almost 2 days. This issue affects all of us in the Bitcoin community, whether we are Bitcoin users, businesses or anything in between. As such, I felt that it was an important time for us to figure out how our users feel, combined with our own company philosophies, to develop a formal position regarding the issue. Part of that involved issuing a survey to all our users from the past 3 months. Hopefully…

Two-factor authentication , while often cumbersome, is a necessary staple for any website in this day and age.

BitQuick is proud to announce our support for Netki Wallet Names when buying bitcoin.

Netki is contributing to improving the Bitcoin infrastructure by appending a more memorable identifier to your wallet: a simple, personalized Wallet Name that can point to your wallet addresses, much like URLs point to website addresses. Instead of having several meaningless characters as my public key that I share with others…

There’s no denying the impact that the internet has had on society at large. The world is continuing to shrink as more people are easily able to participate in this marvelous and mystifying vehicle that now closely dictates our daily lives more than ever before. Within all of the change and progress that has occurred in the past couple of decades thanks to the world wide web, however, there still lies an unsettling problem: There is a sizable group of people in the U.S. that have access to the internet, but are either unbanked or underbanked (meaning that they use alternative financial services outside of the traditional banking system). The internet has spread like a catalyst throughout the United States as of late, with the U.S. Census Bureau revealing that…
