Topic: Microsoft stops accepting Bitcoin in Windows Store (Read 2608 times)
No profit they are bitcoins gained value from the last year,that as i know is something near when left those message about not working with bitcoin,soo they had made around 100% their coins,since they dont work direct with it the middle processor made the profit and took fees from it.Sure isnt a big market yet but being able to use it for sure will bring us ,online earners a road to spend our coins useful.
They aren't making sufficient sales with it? probably there fault for making stupid terms or offering low quality items.
Just read this guys:

I saw on other thread,that Microsoft aplogizied for this news, they clarified that they not stop accept bitcoin on windows 10 store,they still accept it,but i forget to safe the link..i dont know for sure, which news are true.http://news.softpedia.com/news/microsoft-s-windows-10-store-no-longer-accepting-bitcoin-501669.shtml
They had now said sorry ,after a long time without any kind of news related to the service they allowed to be used bitcoin,its interesting they support once again bitcoin near the halving i guess microsoft will expect the future events to see what to do about bitcoin,and maybe who knows they make their own coin.

that's strange it seems that they are going to accpet etherum, but dropping bitcoin, when the first has no usage...
i think it is only momentarily
If that scenario will happen and Microsoft will really ditch Bitcoin in favor of Ethereum then there is clear that there are some coordinated movements behind the curtain aimed to destroy BTC.i think it is only momentarily
Maybe Microsoft will buy ETH foundation, it sure seems that their developers wouldn't mind that.
And yesterday they stated they still accept bitcoin. This makes me doubt them more.
Microsoft still takes Bitcoin but Slysoft stopped. Well they stopped because the government put them out of business.
lol That was just a test whether people will actually buy ETH for their store and i guess users don't like going to troubles exchanging BTC for ETH. and so they take back. It would be too early to do that as the transition is going to be slow. we're already into bitcoin for years, its going to be hard to uproot BTC and replace it with ETH. in fact, ETH may NEVER replace.
Some quick update guys.
Microsoft will continue accepting Bitcoin it seems!

Did not read full thread.
Just wanted to say - this is not true. MS is still accepting bitcoin.
Yes it is true.Just wanted to say - this is not true. MS is still accepting bitcoin.
I think Bitcoin is easier because it just takes a second to pull out Breadwallet and there's no input of address, cc number etc. With an HD wallet, I feel secure carrying around a decent chuck of BTC with me at all times on the phone. I spend it whenever I have opportunity to use Bitcoin. So, I like Bitcoin back there.

i think someone want to make each bitcoiner panic sell, then he can buying bitcoin at lowest dips.
this is clarification from microsoft.
However, Microsoft told TechCrunch:
“We continue to support Bitcoin for adding money to your Microsoft account which can be used for purchasing content in the Windows and Xbox stores. We apologize for inaccurate information that was inadvertently posted to a Microsoft site, which is currently being corrected.”

They were very clear,on their words,people got pissed and bored,i mean the community of bitcoin were not getting why they had removed from one moment to another,anyway its good to see a big company working with bitcoin,will help the mainstream .
Yeah. due to the words came from the Microsoft team had made most users get out of panic which was created yesterday. Only when big corporates accept bitcoin automatically the trust over bitcoin will increase which is much needed for a growing technology.

All the medias now report that Microsoft accepts BTC. I guess we'll never know what happened. I still believe it could have been a mistake, though. Like if they were making an update in their payment processing system, and the non-fiat currency didn't accept it. They should explain.
They we're never really interested in bitcoins particularly but more interested in the the chnology it brings. I won't be surprised if they try and make there on crypto-currency.
It seems that this is just a false alarm.

I bet a shitload of people complained and threatened to boycott micro$oft so they reinstated Bitcoin.
"Oops, it was all a mistake. We're only a multiBagillion dollar corporation with ten layers of QA for everything we do. We make big mistakes like this all the time. Haven't you seen Windows OS?"
Well microsoft has replyed about the service they were providing that the most thinked it had gone from no reason ,and now after a while they come and say it were a mistake on the intepretation.For me they feel the difference on sales before ,after and without bitcoin as option to get some stuffs from them.
