The Swiss Pharmacy is the first online pharmacy worldwide that has
introduced a new and convenient payment option for all it's clients on
15 May 2012. You can now purchase medications using Bitcoin. BitCoin
is a newly introduced digital, peer-to-peer (p2p) currency, which can
be used to replace hard cash when buying and selling goods and services online.
It uses digital signatures and cryptographic proof so as to enable users to conduct irreversible transactions without relying on trust. Bitcoin makes use of public-key cryptography using Elliptic Curve DSA to secure transactions. Each user in the Bitcoin network has a digital wallet containing a number of cryptographic keypairs. The public keys of each user's wallet are transformed into Bitcoin addresses, which act as the receiving endpoints for all payments. Bitcoin, unlike other methods of online funds transfer is sent between users without the need for a payment processor.
To begin using Bitcoin you have to first get a wallet. This can be obtained by downloading and installing a Bitcoin client on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer. The Bitcoin Client is free, open-source software. It can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.6.2/bitcoin-0.6.2-win32-setup.exe/download for the windows version. After the installation is complete a wallet will be created for you automatically and the transaction history will be downloaded.
Another method is to get an online wallet at Flexcoin, InstaWallet or MyWallet. Opting to use this method will save you the trouble of downloading and installing the software but the disadvantage is that you will have to trust the selected site to keep your bitcoinwallet safe.
