Title: Get Humble Bundle cheaper, support EFF.
Post by: neptop on August 23, 2012, 11:57:26 AM
This offer is temporarily suspended!

tl;dr: Send me an PM mentioning this thread. You'll get a Bitcoin address and as it receives at least 0.50 Bitcoins you'll get a Humble Bundle. All money that foes to such an address will go to Humble Bundle/EFF.

So, everyone loves games and everyone loves EFF. I do so too!

And I have an offer. If you send a PM, I'll send you a Bitcoin address and if that address receives at least 0.50 Bitcoins I'll send you the gift code for a Humble Bundle that paid more than the average and therefor included all games. I didn't prebuy them (if anyone has an idea on how to prove it (I'm using Paypal), then tell me). This means I'll add whatever is needed to get over that current price at the time I am buying. This will be true at least until the bundle reaches 10$ (yeah, sorry, it's not much, but I am doing this because I want to support EFF, Bitcoin and Humble Bundle).

Since this is to support EFF my default will me to give everything to EFF, but if you don't like that idea, tell me what you want and it will be like that.

So again, what do you get?

  • All games of the Humble Bundle, for less than the average
  • But still donate more than the average, just for using Bitcoins
  • No need for Paypal, no fee
  • Sell your Bitcoins at more than what you'd get everywhere else
  • Support EFF

Do you like this or want to spend more? If you want to say thank you send a donation to the address below, if you spend more on the bundle, I promise that all profit made from this go to Humble Bundle or EFF.

If you have any ideas on how to make this more transparent without adding costs, I am open for it. I'd also make your payment address public here or somewhere else, if you want me to, so everyone can see how much you donate and if there is a way to show you donations/paypal transactions/... I'll show you.

I have the right to end this offer at any given time, but I'll still donate everything to Humble Bundle or EFF. Sorry folks, but I have to take precautions, in case this gets too much or whatever. You'll get your HB or your Bitcoins back. I guarantee. Even if my wallet for that gets hacked. I have a very secure offline one and would also buy the money, but it really shouldn't happen, since when you get your address I'll ASAP buy your bundle and send you the link.

If you have any other suggestions, please tell me (even if it means I have to pay a bit more). I'm really eager to get as much money for Humble Bundle and EFF as possible. They are doing an awesome job. Also, of course you could just send me Bitcoins that go to EFF or the Humble Bundle, but that's just an option and I am sure there are people that you'd trust more.

PS: Yes, Paypal is bad. I just thought I'd use up my money on the account in nice ways, before I close it.

Bundles bought up to now: 8

Donation address: 1BpiYUZXnhpnw72Z3oCTnXFJhhzemEVJ7N (Do NOT donate here, if you want a Bundle!)
Everything that goes to this address will run into this offer, which means it will ultimately be donated Humble Bundle and/or especially EFF, which supports YOUR privacy. I am also willing to donate to other projects, if I can do so via Paypal. So if you want to use your Bitcoins on something good, I am willing to help you and willing to show a proof if I can/you tell me how.

Sending people bundles that have the over-average bonus is a good way to prove that you are paying at least $5.XX to HB.

One possible vulnerability: if you were acting in bad faith (which I don't think you are), you could be sending the same bundle to everyone that buys from you(pay $5.xx once, and resell it over and over again, because there aren't any download limits per bundle AFAIK).

May I suggest that you publish the last 5 characters of the unique download link for each purchase in the OP. This will prove that you are paying for another bundle for each person that buys through you.

For example, the last 5 chars of the bundle I bought is mXbCa.

Great idea to do this!  I'd buy the bundle through you if I hadn't ordered mine already.  :)

+1.  Great way to close out your PayPal account :-)  Closed mine after the Regretsy incident

About buying only one bundle: Nope, that doesn't work. I send gift keys that have to be redeemed by the individual and for that reason can't be reused. Of course everyone is free to publish whatever they want and (dis)prove I really get bundles for everyone. :)

Received my code, this time for HB6. Thanks again!

And yes, the gift code only works once.

Humble Bundles include them, so you can redeem them yourself whenever you desire.


Update: For all bookworms. There is a Humble eBook Bundle (https://www.humblebundle.com/) now. Of course my offer is also valid for this. My Paypal is nearly empty (but I have a credit card in case there is bigger demand. So, if I get the payment in time you will get your Bundle and if not it will be sent back.

Okay, for now things are a bit stressy. So for now I won't take any more Bitcoins. Thanks to all of you! :)
