We’re very excited to announce that as of yesterday (December 15) we now accept Bitcoin\u00a0as payment for listing apartments on the site!\"wally_homepage_btc<\/a><\/p>\n

Savings for Advertisers<\/h2>\n

Currently, landlords and real estate agents<\/a> pay $2 to post a rental listing<\/a> and to keep it active on the site. However, for those paying in Bitcoin, a listing will only cost 0.833 milli-bitcoin (1\/1000th\u00a0of a bitcoin). \u00a0At today’s exchange rates, that means a discount of about 60%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We feel strongly that Bitcoin’s secure, low-friction payment protocols will benefit both RentHop<\/a> and the landlords and property managers who use us. We also believe that it’s is a good store of value for the medium- to longer-term. (We intend to hold Bitcoin rather than converting immediately to USD.) \u00a0We think it’s a win-win for us and for the industry and we’re excited to be at the front of the charge.<\/p>\n

Here’s<\/a> a link to the press release. If you have any questions or want to learn more, drop us a line – we’d love to hear from you! As always, you can reach us at feedback@renthop.com or on twitter at @RentHop. \u00a0We’re also on Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Pinterest<\/a>, and Linkedin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And look out for some pretty exciting news over the next few weeks….<\/p>\n

Editor’s Note: We updated this article to enhance readability. RentHop not longer accepts Bitcoin as payment for services on the platform.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
