“Today, snapCard announced a program to allow US taxpayers to pay the IRS using bitcoin. In a little over a week, this program will be extended to universal bitcoin bill-pay similar to that offered by most large banks, according to one of the company’s two co-founders, Ioannis Giannaros. Since launching two months ago, San Mateo-based SnapCard has aimed to make it possible to ‘buy anything on the Internet using any virtual currency.’ The company has built a browser bookmarklet that automates bitcoin checkout process on any ecommerce website. Users simply indicate the item they wish to purchase and snapCard handles the checkout and the payment behind the scenes.”
