For some reason when I checkout out the only address that shows up to enter is the shipping address. I have the product version set to Free Shipping and All the config settings set to no shipping or calculate shipping set to no.

Can you check which payment system is selected? I think Bitcoin support doesn't need a billing address, but will need a shipping address unless all items in the order are digital downloads.

I had to uncheck AnonymousCheckout in the Payment and Shipping Gateways: AuthorizeNetARB and when Status is set to Test and debugging I had to login to the Kartris Admin for it all to debug and step into the AuthorizeNetARB.dll.

Anonymouscheckout was added as a possibly option for payment systems when we introduced bitcoin. The nature of bitcoin makes it possible to accept payments without billing info. But credit card systems will certainly need to ensure they are not anonymous, as all credit card systems typically require a billing address for the card to authorize.

What exactly is bitcoin? Is it just another paymnet gateway?

Bitcoin is a bit more than just another payment gateway

1) its a virtual currency - you pay in bitcoins, not pounds or dollars
2) new currency is created by the open source peer to peer network, there is no central body or private company issuing it
3) credit cards (or related payment types like paypal) all require an address at some point as cards are linked to that address, even if the address isn't required for shipping. But since bitcoins are virtual currency rather than linked to a credit card you can send them anonymously, so if you were buying eg a downloadable product you'd not need to give name, address or any other contact info (email is useful for a receipt and could of course be an anonymous webmail one)

Its worth Googling Bitcoin to find out more. Its an ingenious system and whilst it appears secure there have been notably collapses or compromises of some of the major bitcoin exchanges (where you can buy bitcoins for cash), so take care!
