This is likely to solicit questions about whether purchases can be anonymous. However, I don't think that matters. As long as an average Joe (who doesn't care about anonymity) can use this to spend bitcoins, the overall acceptance of the currency should increase.

If you owe Joe money, he might accept bitcoins because he knows he can use them (minus a fee) at sites like bitspend.
