Quote “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.” More information's : http://cointelegraph.com/news/steam-to-accept-payments-via-bitcoin-in-its-next-update Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: unamis76 on April 24, 2016, 02:02:24 PM Really looking forward to this, I guess that with so many confirmations it is pretty impossible to deny this is going to happen :) I wasn't convinced before, but I'm starting to get convinced now... I'll definitely be spending Bitcoins there!
Now, when will this be released? I hope soon... But by it's english dictionary definition, not by Valve Time (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time) definitions ;D Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Lauda on April 24, 2016, 02:04:45 PM This is definitely great to hear. I did not expect it to happen so quickly though.
Now, when will this be released? I hope soon... But by it's english dictionary definition, not by Valve Time (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time) definitions ;D In the next update. It should be pretty soon as the last one was 25 days ago (31.03). Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: LFC_Bitcoin on April 24, 2016, 02:05:41 PM Excellent, any ideas if this will cause a little pump in the price?

Checking the link I posted, next update means: Quote Too many updates to count since then. ;D Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Wendigo on April 24, 2016, 02:56:45 PM I wonder if Valve will update the Steam client with Bitcoin payment option for all their customers worldwide or they will limit it only to US customers because I have heard rumors before they have been testing it only in the USA. So I would think Valve will launch this just in the USA at first as a pilot program and then expand it to other countries. I would love to use it from Europe as soon as possible and hope Valve decides to launch it worldwide right off the bat.

So I would think Valve will launch this just in the USA at first as a pilot program and then expand it to other countries. I would love to use it from Europe as soon as possible and hope Valve decides to launch it worldwide right off the bat. It would be totally a dumb move to do because Bitcoin doesn't require a bank account or personal information's etc ... so making restrictions won't make much sense . Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: socks435 on April 24, 2016, 03:05:04 PM This is good news for those who players in steam.. and i hope it will more adopt in other games like gameclub and other online games..
And i think this is the future for bitcoin that more store will accept bitcoin as payment online.. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: pereira4 on April 24, 2016, 03:59:20 PM I think its a fantastic idea to have steam accepting Bitcoin, finally, it has been a long time and Gabe Newel was starting to look like an idiot if he didn't start accepting payments in Bitcoin. I mean even Microsoft accept Bitcoins.
If you are not accepting Bitcoins already you will look like an idiot in the future because it will be clear that those that do not, didn't saw the opportunity to be a pioneer in something huge. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: tobacco123 on April 24, 2016, 04:44:02 PM Great news indeed! By the way, which "external payment provider" are they going to engage? Hope it is one of the good ones which can boost the image of bitcoin.
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: unamis76 on April 24, 2016, 05:09:41 PM Now, when will this be released? I hope soon... But by it's english dictionary definition, not by Valve Time (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time) definitions ;D Maybe you should compare when will steam accept bitcoin with when will valve release HL3 ::) That one's different and will take way longer than accepting Bitcoin, if it ever happens ;D Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: buyinbtc on April 24, 2016, 06:43:37 PM i hope that those are not just some kind of false speeches and steam will accept bitcoin pretty soon, i will definitely spend a lot of my bitcoins there if they will start accepting bitcoin payments
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: DimensionZ on April 24, 2016, 07:04:32 PM I wonder if Valve will add Bitcoin to the Steam market as well. It would make sense to do so as Bitcoin is basically a digital currency so why not allow people to trade skins for it too if they are going to add a Bitcoin payment option when purchasing games. Not that we are going to be withdrawing any Bitcoin from Steam but I would be pleased to trade stuff on the Steam market with Bitcoin. I am looking forward to the launch please Valve hurry up already.

I am just waiting for all of my gamers friends to come to me and ask how do we get bitcoins. your the one who has been doing it long. Most of he gamers these days have high end graphcis card for games which can be used to mine coins. I better keep a detailed expalination ready. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: 27QVUTZj8rgZP1 on April 24, 2016, 07:29:57 PM Good. Looks like I will never use my credit card to buy stuff there again.
Thank you to all involved. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Lauda on April 24, 2016, 08:05:41 PM i hope that those are not just some kind of false speeches and steam will accept bitcoin pretty soon, i will definitely spend a lot of my bitcoins there if they will start accepting bitcoin payments They aren't. It is being integrated, and the signs are pretty much everywhere right now. Let's see if it is actually going to be incorporated within the next release.Maybe you should compare when will steam accept bitcoin with when will valve release HL3 ::) No, don't troll.Good. Looks like I will never use my credit card to buy stuff there again. I've never even used a CC there, nor will I ever use one. The only times that I've bought games was via BTC (gift cards, humble bundle and so).Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: calkob on April 24, 2016, 08:08:25 PM Is it working in the EU yet i buy from steam all the time and cant wait till is available...... ;D
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: European Central Bank on April 24, 2016, 10:36:59 PM It's about damn time. I don't see why it's gonna make a pump, no other merchant stuff ever has, but it's great news all the same and bitcoin sinks a little deeper into the mainstream.
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Metadextrous on April 24, 2016, 10:43:28 PM First of all, PRAISE THE LORD GABEN :D
Finally, the thing i've waited is confirmed. Using bitcoin to buy steam games would make it cheaper for me rather than buying it with steam wallet. I hope that this is implemented all around the world, not only the USA. But by "using external payment provider" does it mean that they are using third-party? Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: European Central Bank on April 24, 2016, 10:48:31 PM I think I've read somewhere that the payment provider is gonna be Bitpay but don't quote me on that.
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: 1Referee on April 24, 2016, 10:50:07 PM Excellent, any ideas if this will cause a little pump in the price? I'm sure people are excited about this, but it's not interesting enough to get a rally to start. On the other side, there is the block halving that will give us a good enough pump at some point before the halving takes place. It gives you a bit more time to continue accumulating coins. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Akupuniard on April 25, 2016, 01:53:12 AM If Gaben will exept bitcoin in steam in will be good for bitcoin cause other markets will try bitcoin too. And it will got more populartity, so we just need to wait and watch.
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: AmDD on April 25, 2016, 02:10:56 AM Nice, looking forward to this! I actually thought they already did but maybe I read they planned to rather than actually did (at the time).
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Druze on April 25, 2016, 02:47:57 AM using bitcoin to buy steam games is like a blessing from above
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Quartx on April 25, 2016, 02:49:32 AM Seems like you posted in the correct section eh haha, I posted it 3 days ago in off-topic and the news died in oblivion.
Unfortunatly, Gaben mentioned that at no point in time would Steam be holding bitcoin, which means it is just to let customers be happy Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed !

They get some indirect advertising while the people talk about it too, which is good.I think I've read somewhere that the payment provider is gonna be Bitpay but don't quote me on that. I think it is the most probable. But that does not matter as long as they take bitcoins.Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: pooya87 on April 25, 2016, 04:11:14 AM Nice, looking forward to this! I actually thought they already did but maybe I read they planned to rather than actually did (at the time). no they haven't yet. steam and accepting bitcoin is a very long story with different stages :) it first came out as someone found some code in steam IIRC pointing to some changes that lead to believing they are adding bitcoin (it was more of a rumor but a strong one) and then a couple of days ago it was official when steam sent out Email to their developers and game makers saying we are planning on adding bitcoin.

Quite excited for this, maybe this is driving the price up. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed !

But by "using external payment provider" does it mean that they are using third-party? Valve is most likely going to use BitPay to facilitate the Bitcoin purchases on Steam and I am waiting for BitPay officials to confirm or deny this it should be made clear in the coming days I guess. As for cheaper Steam games with Bitcoins I think Valve is going to charge people the exact same amount regardless of the method of purchasing so I fear we won't have any discounts if we use Bitcoin. I may be wrong though but Valve seems not to want to differentiate its customer base between Bitcoin and fiat that much. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Barbut on April 25, 2016, 05:26:00 AM I believe this is a very good thing. Steam recognized potential of btc and we can finally use our coins there. I see people talking about discount if we use btc there, well its a nice thing but I dont need it, for me its important to buy something with btc discount will come like any other. We will wait for good moments to make some purchase.

I see people talking about discount if we use btc there, well its a nice thing but I dont need it, for me its important to buy something with btc discount will come like any other. We will wait for good moments to make some purchase. It will be a good move to incentivize Bitcoin use with discounts on all purchases made with Bitcoin, but the other payment companies will complain, if this is done. They have had a monopoly for many years and will not want to give any market share to any other new payment option. I will definitely make use of this opportunity to buy some of the latest releases once this is announced. ^smile^ Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: martinacar on April 25, 2016, 07:27:14 AM Happy that this is confirmed, this is going to be great for both of them but especially for Bitcoin. With this people that use steam are going to know what Bitcoin is and maybe get interested in Bitcoin.
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Galiatram on April 25, 2016, 08:18:15 AM Excellent, any ideas if this will cause a little pump in the price?

Unfortunatly, Gaben mentioned that at no point in time would Steam be holding bitcoin, which means it is just to let customers be happy Yes you should have posted it here.Here is Bitcoin discussion.And when a company or platform accepts Bitcoin it definetely fits in here. Doesn't matter if Valve is holding any bitcoins or converting it to fiat via payment processor. For now it's onl important that they accept Bitcoin. Let us do small steps at the beginning.Over the time these steps will get bigger and bigger. :) Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Jeremycoin on April 25, 2016, 12:07:19 PM Finally, after through several years waiting for this to happen. It's finally here, Steam will accept Bitcoin.
I remember there used to be a person who asked us to ask Steam to accept Bitcoin together by sending them an email or something, and I think it finally works. ;D Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Herbert2020 on April 25, 2016, 12:42:14 PM it is very good to see that they have finally listened to all the requests that people were sending to them and asking them to add bitcoin as payment. and i think one of the reasons is also the price of bitcoin which is rising and it is not at all like a couple of months ago stable.
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Hashminers on April 25, 2016, 01:32:52 PM This is a great thing that Bitcoin is also interested in the gaming industry and community. It would help Bitcoin allot if people from the gaming community signed up for Bitcoin to.
First the gambling sites and now Steam, Bitcoin is going in to the right direction. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: ~Bitcoin~ on April 25, 2016, 01:35:41 PM Looks like a good news. If even they launch this in pilot plant i am sure it will be great success for them and more exposure for bitcoin economy and for sure good for price stability in future.

Post by: bitlancr on April 25, 2016, 01:51:23 PM Yes I hope this will happen very soon, most likely it will take some time before this is gonna happen.
I must say that steam always been fast with accepting new currency's in my eyes. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: eyeknock on April 25, 2016, 02:31:31 PM obviously this is really good for bitcoin community, not only because gamers enthusiasts are now able to buy his keys with bitcoins, also because now there will be lot of "new" users who will know about what bitcoin is or at least will know that this exist, so in the end is a good propaganda.
btw a really good thing will be that we can purchase keys with bitcoin cheaper than with fiat money, but this will not happen :P Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = SHIT Post by: mayax on April 25, 2016, 02:34:31 PM 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. :) Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = SHIT Post by: pereira4 on April 25, 2016, 02:37:11 PM 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. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: DimensionZ on April 25, 2016, 02:57:00 PM Yeah mate I fully agree with you, the most important thing is not the possibility to buy games on Steam with Bitcoin but the massive exposure Bitcoin will gain to the whole gaming community on Steam which encompasses people from every country and continent. Imagine if half of these people become Bitcoin users and the positive effect it would have on the price and general adoption. Getting Bitcoin on Steam is a huge step towards making Bitcoin mainstream.
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Gubzy on April 25, 2016, 03:06:35 PM Aww this is awesome. Does anyone know if we will be able to sell stuff on the steam market for bitcoin? That would be great!
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: LiteCoinGuy on April 25, 2016, 03:29:36 PM just 3 years ago that was not imaginable :D - people said: "maybe in 10 years Steam will take Bitcoin!"
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: ripplehd on April 25, 2016, 03:45:23 PM Well its great for the gamers on pc but what about for the ones on consoles they still pay using CC or paypal at higher prices , I might have to change to Pc instead.
Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: eternalgloom on April 25, 2016, 05:21:58 PM 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 :) Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed !

Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Wendigo on April 26, 2016, 10:41:54 AM not working for me i can not see bitcoin? is this only for certain region for the moment? 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. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed ! Post by: Denker on April 26, 2016, 11:44:50 AM 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). Quote 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! Quote 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. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed !

Post by: bL4nkcode on April 26, 2016, 04:07:40 PM 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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvz4o10fGFI This is proof that bitcoin works and you can be buying steam games in seconds through it. Title: Re: Steam + Bitcoin = Confirmed !
