Topic: Grooveshark.com and their response to bitcoins (Read 6963 times)
Bump great service, just spent $90 for a year
It's good to finally see some cooperation on the merchant's side. Now, if we could do this with other companies...
No bitcoin option for me on their payment page. I live in the US.
EDIT: Apparently the bitcoin option is not available through a browser in iOS. However, I went on a computer and signed up with bitcoin!

Lets demand bitcoin
Sorry for necro thread, but the OP's objective has been achieved ... finally!
Grooveshark now accepts bitcoin!

The point for them is that there's no possibility of chargebacks (I bet that alone will be a big deal) and relatively modest payment processing fees (presuming they use bitpay or something similar).
When speaking to merchants about this kind of thing before the "no chargebacks" thing is the one thing that really grabs their interest.

I wonder if the administrative overhead is worth the fee with paysius or bitpay... Depends on your size, I presume.

Ahh, the "Pics or it didn't happen" generation.
whats the link?
Sorry to bring this old thread back up again... But the Grooveshark CEO and staff will be doing a Reddit AMA on Oct 23rd. Lets demand bitcoin - show them how to use mtgox's/paysius/bitpay etc.
To bad:
I also already emailed them about bitcoin before this thread even excisted.
They told me they are vey busy and will look into it at some point in the near future.
I guess if we all keep mailing grooveshark they will maybe turn there ship and really look into it.
I use Grooveshark everyday and love it so much. I also really would love to have this on my phone, but I refuse to pay for a premium account with Paypal or Creditcard.
Man, if Grooveshark starts accepting...Bitcoin will skyrocket way up to the exosphere!

Annoying customer service reps to death with emails about the awesomeness of bitcoin may not be the best approach. Just sayin.
I really like grooveshark, I too would pay the extra amount if they accepted btc.

I wouldn't really call it annoying emails. I was very careful about how I approached it and we actually were engaged in some constructive email exchanges. I'm thinking they either spoke with or more likely just browsed bit-pay or something and just didnt understand it. I approached mtgox, and bit-pay and they said they would love to talk to grooveshark. Perhaps this is the CEO they are talking about....

You didn't answer anything.
Instead of asking businesses if they will accept Bitcoin it might be more successful to ask if they will accept Paysius or Bit-Pay. Doing a quick Google search for those terms is going to get the merchant to the relevant information they need a lot more quickly than a search for Bitcoin.
we have been emailing each other every other week. i have introduced bit-pay paysius and the new mtgox merchant API. I have linked them to a reddit posting i made about how i have been in contact with grooveshark and the potential with overwhelming support as well as this thread. i've done everything I can but I feel they just do not understand the potential or are just not willing to even take a look at it....
i have been trying to talk to the coders directly but will have to do some more investigating on who exactly that is because this person will not give me their direct email address. maybe you guys could help me out do some researching?
and again... email them. tell them you would pay for their service in bitcoins. grooveshark seems to really be pushing for some subscription services. if they get enough emails perhaps it will get past this supposed VIP help desk employee and to the actual coder.
EMAIL [email protected] and voice your opinion!
BTW i responded to their email asking who exactly the "bitcoin CEO" was that they talked to and elaborating how bitcoin is open source and owned by nobody...
Be sure to LOL at him heartily and inform him that there is no CEO, because there is no corporation, because there is no single controlling entity.
Also, Bit-pay and/or Paysius.
