“Goodwill, a collective of nonprofits that operate several thousand stores selling secondhand items, will have the option to accept Bitcoins in some locations via payment terminals from Revel Systems Inc., a San Francisco startup. Revel is adding a Bitcoin button to its point-of-sale system, which is currently used in 23 Goodwill stores. Revel has deployed 7,000 terminals at supermarkets, pizza places and yogurt shops. The company’s point-of-sale systems, which are built around Apple’s iPad, already let shoppers pay with cash and credit cards. Bitcoin was a logical next step, said co-founder Chris Ciabarra in an interview.”
