Pine64, the computer manufacturer has decided to part ways with BitPay even before the two even started working together. The computer company wanted to use the payment processor but it has all gone doom and gloom cause of the backlash BitPay received on twitter.

Pine64 revealed on twitter that given the ruckus they have had a change of heart and would now looking forward to alternatives.  They stated that the outcry from the community is too much and it has changed their mind and they have decided not to proceed with it.

Re-posting again for everyone to see in this thread:
We saw the outcry regarding <a href="https://twitter.com/BitPay?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BitPay</a> and no longer intend to support it. In the coming weeks and months we'll keep exploring options that will work for us and will be convenient for our community.

As soon as it appeared the deal is off the table, many other names popped up to let them know of their availability. BTCPay founder Nicholas Dorier saw it as an opportunity to highlight the pros of the products his company offers. Another commentator called Vortex suggested that he also believe that they should drop BitPay at all costs and go ahead with BTCpay and have complete control over the commerce.
<h2>BitPay Doesn't Really Help Their Own Cause</h2>
The reason behind such disdain was Bitpay's long-standing inclination towards bitcoin Cash (BCH)  and despise for bitcoin. They are also not <a href="https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15584" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compatible </a>with many wallets and while they <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/bwyaj0/scambagsbitpay_requesting_2_to_send_15_while/?sort=top" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charge </a>bitcoin payments in the name of network cost, the bitcoin cash payments are free of cost. Clearly the domination of bitcoin over every other cryptocurrency is enormous and to turn bitcoin community into enemies with these atrocious policies and bias has surely contributed in them losing out on Pine64.  It also blocked receiving payments made in BTC  for charitable work.

It seems like the computer manufacturers would not bear much of a loss and find a suitor soon, however, things are looking bleak for BitPay if they don't mend their ways and the outcry on social media platform continues.
