Swanage Bitcoin store receives a visit from the BBC

News of retailer Andy James accepting Bitcoins in his store in Swanage caught the attention of the BBC this month.

Following coverage in Retail Express and on Better Retailing, James welcomed BBC News into his store to discuss how he has embraced the controversial alternative to cash payments. 

Bitcoin payments work by typing the cash amount into an iPad, with the payee then scanning a QR-code on the tablet to transfer funds from their account to the retailer.
