Beam News

April is kicking off with a roar with the release of Testnet - Double Doppler 4.2, with mainnet release right around the corner. You can check out the release here and if you need some testnet coins to play with, jump into the chats and ask, or have at the faucet. With mainnet release on its way, it’s the perfect time to get familiar with the new features, and fire through your feedback. Some of the key features were outlined in last weeks newsletter, so if you haven’t had a read yet, head on over.

I thought today would offer a great chance to also look at Beam, beyond the beautiful wallets. Who’s accepting Beam? And how are they accepting Beam?

Both great questions, so let’s dive in and see.

Taking a look on site, Beam Accepted Here shows there is a good number of stores and service providers accepting Beam. The list has a heavy focus on (but in no way limited to) those where privacy can be crucial e.g. VPNs and VPSs. It makes sense if purchasing something such as a VPN to do so in a private manner. Beam provides us with the opportunity to do so.



There are also a number of other great stores where you can make purchases in a private manner with Beam:

These are but a handful of the merchants accepting Beam, be sure to check out the rest and show your support. Now that we have had a look at the who, time for the how:

Beam Pay - A Beam specific payment processor that allows integration with online stores to automatically manage all your transactions. Beampay is already integrated and on display at https://store.beamprivacy.community/.

Coinpayments - Integrated payment gateway for cryptocurrencies from Beam to Bitcoin and beyond

NOWPayments - An easy way to accept Beam and other cryptocurrency payments

These are the main ways merchants have integrated Beam as a payment option, with anyone free to add via their own methods, such as Private Internet Access has done. If you have any merchants looking to add Beam, let us know, and we can assist in making it happen!
