They no longer accept bitcoins.

That is crazy. Why would they stop accepting bitcoin?

They probably just wanted to get the free publicity.

I just checked. It's still there.

When I went there it said the promotion had ended.

EDIT: It is still an option to use bitcoin to checkout, it does say that the promotion has ended when you go to newegg.com/bitcoin (the site must assume you are responding to a promotion when you go to newegg.com/[word]

I wish I had of found it! I was looking at checkout.

I've been waiting for newegg to start accepting BTC so I can build a new workstation and slap a paid w/ btc sticker on it. Cheesy

I beat you to that dude - I built a monster Hackintosh entirely with bitcoin. But I did it through Amazon and Gyft.

I went to buy something at NewEgg today and I didn't find anything about bitcoin there.
I actually left feedback that I was disappointed.

Why did they stop?

Need Apple to change their stance on mobile wallet and payment application.

Once the few big company accept BTC, apple will change their stance.

Apple is so stubborn，I dont think that will happen in the near future.

I have never shopped at newegg, but from what i have seen about the company, it looks really good for BTC. I checked out the website, I like how they announce BTC adoption right on the homepage. A lot of the larger corporations that started accepting BTC (like Dish Network), did not do that...

Amazing you haven't shopped yet, they have very good prices. Indeed Nice Bitcoin announce, they probably checked Overstock and realized the sales-increasing they had...

one of The things I liked about them taking BTC is the fact they showed it in big text/color in homepage. it wasn't just added to their payment methods "secretly" but they provided some more publicity for BTC within consumers -link to instruction, what it's etc...-

Has there been any news on how well newegg.com is doing collecting BTC now? curious?

Searing

doubt they'll release that info just yet. the latest will probably be the end of the 3rd quarter in september i think. i'm suspecting that it'll be good news, but not enough to influence the price of bitcoin significantly.

They may be able to give some preliminary information about early sales numbers. IIRC overstock provided I believe it was the first day's sales only a few weeks after they started accepting bitcoin

You're ignoring a huge difference between real money and BTC. A business cannot risk actually touching BTC, as their banks would likely stop doing business with them. They also risk becoming a target of launderers, and thus risk criminal investigation. Besides the wild fluctuations in value that make BTC as a currency very dumb, the rampant criminal activity in this community assures that no business will touch BTC except through shady VC-funded ops like Bitpay.

You're getting pretty desperate to justify your outdated viewpoint, keep the blinders on, the world will move on without you Wink

.

Sorry for feeding the troll, I'll stop.

i'm not quite sure if he's a troll, but he's definitely wrong. overstock has hoarded some bitcoins, and im sure banks are still working with them.

Banks court big business not the other way around.

Banks do court big businesses however they also have compliance teams and risk teams that can veto transactions and relationships that are too risky
