Well that didn't take long. Last week was my first order from Mene and I was highly impressed. You can read about it here Mene 24k Unboxing: Art of War Tactical Edition.
This week I had to have another piece. 5 referrals came in, then I got to reading about paying in Crypto. This ByteBall airdrop was unexpected and not necessarily something I wanted to keep. What I did know I wanted, was the Platinum Evil Eye charm.
I've bought and traded across multiple exchanges but never actually bought something physical with Bitcoin. I figured it was time to give it a shot. I wish I would have got pics of the steps but it went so smooth I'm sure anyone can do it.
First, I opened my ByteBall wallet. Went to the Chat tab and added the Byte-BTC Exchange bot. I typed in "Sell", and the bot responded with the current market rate. It then asked for a Bitcoin address. I have the MyCelium wallet on my phone so, I grabbed my address, pasted it in the chat and Presto. The bot responded with please pay your ByteBall to XXXX address. I copied that address and hit send all. Nearly instantly my wallet had Bitcoin in it.
Now onto ordering from Mene. I had no idea how this would work. Sitting on $25 in referrals and the rest in Bitcoin....was it even possible??? Well hell yeah and wow was it easy. I entered my referral gift card code and that updated my total owed.
Next, I got to payment method. I chose BitPay and continued. At this point I was starting to get nervous. I didn't want to screw anything up. I didn't know if the price would fluctuate while I was making the transaction and mess everything up. Was there fees I had to add I wasn't aware of? Then it said after the order was placed it would open BitPay for the remaining balance.
Here goes nothing. I stepped through the rest of the ordering pages and hit enter. Suddenly Bitpay opened up. I had MyCelium wallet opened in the background. Block explorer opened on my desktop. I was ready for the worst. Then, BitPay opened, and it had the correct amount in already along with MyCelium address already populated. The wallet asked for my 6 digit password, I entered it and BOOOM!!!!
Mene on the way!!!
I can't believe how easy it was. I was ready to chase down the transaction, wait days for it to clear, I had no idea what to expect. If you have any doubts or questions about how this process worked please let me know in the comments or Discord. I thought I was impressed by the Mene product, then by the customer service and now by the ease of ordering.
Platinum Evil Eye charm, I'll see you soon.
