What is the main advantage over getting paid in USD and buying bitcoins on your own? Other than promoting bitcoin.
You have a great question. One of the features that we're looking to implement is "average bitcoin rate", where employees get paid an average rate for their paycheck's work; this could heavily decrease variance and soften drops in Bitcoin's price. Right now it's just an idea in the pipeline — we really need to test demand and see if people would actually use it.
