Topic: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! (Read 2654 times)
This is what caused the price of bitcoin to go up. I think this is great news for Bitcoin and for crypto currency in general. I love it when Bitcoin finally gets some recognizion.
I saw the video of the kid getting 100 dollars on his steam account and it was instant, so all those fears of "omg noo people will say that bitcoin confirmations are so slow" are just so retarded.

This is proof that bitcoin works and you can be buying steam games in seconds through it.

this is the news we were waiting, online games and gambling are the killer apps for bitcoin in my opionion, great step for us
Agree! Integrating bitcoin with any kind of gaming is one of the keys to mainstream adoption. I feel like gamers are more likely to use btc than general pop.
Well this is a very good news for all gamers using steam because bitcoin users rapidly increase and there's a lot of steam gamers here I guess,\ but actually I already use bitcoin to buy some steam wallets codes. And thanks to this forum it helps a lot .

not working for me i can not see bitcoin? is this only for certain region for the moment?
No there were some minor bugs last night when it went online.Therefore it will be fixed and relaunched today.
It is posted on reddit by an bitpay employee (Mr.Glaze).

The payment option will be re-enabled tomorrow. A small/med sized issue needed to be tended to. Since it is getting late on both coasts... we will resume transaction monitoring tomorrow. I will come back here and tell you when it's "game on" again and keep folks posted... believe me, we are excited and can't want to see those transactions start back up (once the kinks are all knocked out)... this is gonna help so many people!

OK, here is the latest update.
Code ready to deploy to address an issue that impacted a small group of customers.
Since it is getting late @ BitPay and Valve we are waiting until tomorrow to re-launch...
This is so we can closely monitor the transactions and make sure things are going nice and smooth for everyone.
Thanks for your patience and this thread will be the first to know when we are ready for the next round of transactions.
Any of the customers impacted will be taken care of... feel free to MSG me if you need me to research a transaction or anything.... I am happy to help.

No I think it's for everyone because yesterday it was working, the Bitcoin logo was right there and I just checked today on my Steam account after reading your comment and it's missing so I guess maybe Valve is having some sort of issue with BitPay or something. I don't mind if they take as much time as needed to fix this so we can have a smoother experience buying stuff with Bitcoin later on.
ok it is because of this reason https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4gfd5o/just_added_10_to_steam_via_bitcoin_easy/d2h8ixv

It seems that it is only available at US and Europe at the moment, i also can't see the options to pay with bitcoin. All we can do now is wait for it to be available worldwide.Why do you break my hope Gaben?

Same here, I checked a while ago but didn't see the bitcoin payment option?

just 3 years ago that was not imaginable 
- people said: "maybe in 10 years Steam will take Bitcoin!"
this great news,i'm also neverimagine that steam will accept bitcoin in short time,but whatever lets wait for the next big companies that accept bitcoin,what's next? ebay?amazon?i hope that two can accept soon. - people said: "maybe in 10 years Steam will take Bitcoin!"who cares about that. I buy the steam games via card.
it was the same with Overstock. "wow, amazing shit!" and then almost nobody used BTC for buying anything.

Who cares about if people use it or not, it's free publicity for Bitcoin anyway. And we are still on the early stages of Bitcoin, of course most people will keep using what they are used to use. If they have to buy Bitcoin to buy a steam game, that's pretty dumb, but if you get paid in Bitcoin, then everything changes, you are more prone to spend it.
So you are now making it both more popular and that is quite nice for them both.

“We’re using an external payment provider to process bitcoin payments to help partners reach more customers on Steam. Bitcoin is becoming an increasingly popular online payment method in some countries, and we’re enabling a system that insulates partners from risk and volatility while still providing value to end customer.”

I'm very happy about this, not too long ago, it would have seemed almost impossible that Steam would accept Bitcoin any time soon.
Glad that they've confirmed it and that it's happening so soon
