bitcoin has become a buzzword most have heard, but the vast majority still have questions. And what should we, as PHP developers, know about bitcoin, or why should we care? At ZendCon we had a bitcoin panel discussion with some very smart forerunners in regards to the topic. They spoke briefly on what bitcoin is, and why they feel it is important, then finally helped inform developers why it may be something that should be implemented in our projects.
The panel comprising of Luke Stokes, co-founder of FoxyCart! who offers bitcoin as an option in their cart solutions. Also present Rich Morgan, an Ecommerce Development Team Lead at BitPay, Inc. a forerunner in offering bitcoin solutions for online merchants and Joel Dietz, Founder and CEO of Swarm, a crowdfunding platform that operates on bitcoin framework.
