The nocoiner first question is: "can I pay my electricity bill with Bitcoin?" So here I start putting together a list of places where you can pay your bills with Bitcoin.

This list will be updated periodically. If you know a utility service that is proven to accept Bitcoin just send the link to @DarthCoin with a simple explanation.

I do not have any relation of affiliation with any of these services, is just a listing of services that accept Bitcoin and many of them are verified with users. No referral links or earning programs involved.

This list is to help users to start using their bitcoins and create the circular economy.

I will invite you first to listen this amazing episode from Once Bitten talking with the guys from Shopinbit about buying everything you want with Bitcoin.

The list is organized in various sections:
