Ok worked out well! Great service & thanks. I would never have bothered creating some idiot paypal or whatnot account and messing with bank transfers Cheesy. Too bad steam doesn't support bitcoins natively.

wtf is a steam e-mail address? in the payment section you ask me to enter my e-mail. So I entered my e-mail: [email protected]
nothing

my steam account is Hyena__ but I don't see any e-mail info there. A email should have @ character in it.

This is lame, sent 4.93 btc but this obviously didn't trigger your automation to send me the games.
It's not automated. Just wait until he gifts the game(s).

Another thing is that I have not yet received the email even though I even sent the coins. What's the delay? This should be fixed. There are sites that automatically display a notice that payment has been received in the same webpage.

Is it possible to just exchange bitcoins to steam credit? I would just send you btc-s and you'd send me steam credit automatically, then I'd but the game using steam itself.

Is it possible?

Prices are not updating, for example SSFIV arcade edition has been only 15 for a while now, you still have it at 40 usd.

Are you sure that's right? I see SSF IV: Arcade Edition as $39.99 on that page, while SSF IV: Arcade Edition - All-in Costume Pack is $14.99, but that's not the game itself, just a DLC pack.

Yeah that was part of my desire to get it working now before the sale, so I won't have to keep updating things or refund orders with mismatched prices.

Just as an additional FYI, if while browsing the site the list of games goes blank or you get an error, it may be running the update script. Just refresh in a minute or so and the list should be back. I'm going to implement a message about it, but I haven't done so yet, just to keep in mind for anyone that happens to be browsing around when the update script goes off.

I've got another quick update. This change won't be visible readily to you guys on the site, but it's very handy. All game prices are now updated automatically at regular intervals, so prices should stay current even with sales going off and on at any part of the day/night. This should eliminate the occasional issue with out of date price information on SteamCoin due to sales.

Good to hear, there will be sales next week if I am correct.

Hello everyone!

As part of my efforts at automating price updates, I've now enabled icons for all the games lists on the site. Please let me know what you think and if you have any problems. Smiley

I hope to add sorting the lists and category support soon.

@Tittiez, yes indeed. Originally that's what I was using. At this point my version is highly customized. Soon I'm going to be putting up the same thing but rewritten in PHP which I'll be able to run automatically at certain intervals.

Also to anyone that hasn't noticed, SteamCoin now supports DLC. All of it should be on the store.

It's not that bad, but I do sometimes run into cases where prices have changed after someone has ordered, unfortunately. It doesn't happen all that often, though. I should be putting up a system to automate it to update every 6 hours or so pretty soon.

I did develop a system that could literally scrape every game, special edition, pack and DLC that's on the store, but crawling almost 2000 pages (it has to download the entire individual game's page in order to find special editions like Deus Ex HR: Augmented Edition) takes a long time. The compromise I think I'm going to go with is using my current style of script to scrape the main games, DLC and packs, and then when you go to select a game you can expand a drop down that will find and list any special editions that are applicable. No ETA on that system for now because it's a bit complex and I want to make it has a proper fallback for those that surf without javascript and such.

As far as I'm aware the Steam API doesn't currently support getting the data I need for games. Can you point me to some information on it? I looked at the wiki a bit but it doesn't seem like it has the features I would need to use it.

There isn't an API on it. Must be hard work changing the prices everyday. Wait until a Christmas sale comes and all hell breaks loose on your updates lol.
