Title: Anyone know what happened to Steambits? Post by: Turks on April 28, 2013, 07:37:47 AM Been wondering what happened to the site, it's been complaining about Mt.Gox being down for at least a week.
My messages to the administrator on reddit have gone unanswered for about a week as well. I sent an email to him today, maybe he'll reply. Anyone possibly got anymore information?

Post by: Turks on April 28, 2013, 07:35:16 PM Well I'm trying to get out of this damn newbie cage to post it where it won't be buried by spam.
Still no reply to my email. I think he jumped ship and bolted. Dunno. Title: Re: Anyone know what happened to Steambits? Post by: soks86 on April 28, 2013, 08:30:05 PM Just curios, did he have coins of yours?
I heard about this, seemed like a good idea, scams are not a surprise though. Title: Re: Anyone know what happened to Steambits? Post by: trebornay on April 28, 2013, 08:54:44 PM That's a good question and I am curious too.

After I submitted this to reddit he apparently found that post and decided to put his site into maintenance mode. I think he owes the community an explaination. Title: Re: Anyone know what happened to Steambits? Post by: fwho on April 28, 2013, 09:08:57 PM Could have got a C&D from Steam. Reselling Steam game gifts is a ToS violation.
I assume you have an outstanding order? Title: Re: Anyone know what happened to Steambits? Post by: Turks on April 28, 2013, 09:27:46 PM You assume wrongly, sir.
Also to my knowledge he was not reselling steam gifts, but actually buying them and gifting the game to you. Or giving you a key. Title: Re: Anyone know what happened to Steambits? Post by: Manawarp on April 28, 2013, 09:29:56 PM Well, if any of you are looking for a similar service I'm ArticulatedGentleman over in the reddit thread.

You know, trading; which is all selling really is. Title: Re: Anyone know what happened to Steambits? Post by: Davey™ on April 28, 2013, 09:46:04 PM Well, if anyone REALLY wants, I could make a similar site offering the same thing.
I would need a good suggestion for the name though. Title: Re: Anyone know what happened to Steambits? Post by: boioioing on August 22, 2013, 01:44:53 AM This is still a VERY lazy dude running steambits. I am waiting 5 days now for Civ V. Games in 24h... what a joke.
There is not even a reply to a mail I wrote 2 days ago. Anyways... Russian steam keys are cheaper. Title: Re: Anyone know what happened to Steambits? Post by: boioioing on September 02, 2013, 01:11:58 AM Ok. I got the key yesterday. It was also partly my fault:
I did the payment directly from mtgox. I did not hit the checkbox "open transaction" on withdrawal because I thought it would be faster. It was faster. The problem is that the shop owner is looking for payments on blockchain.info. When you don't hit "open transaction" you won't never see a payment on blockchain.info. More info on this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74187.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74187.0) So if you consider to pay directly form gox, don't forget to make a open transation.

I assume you have an outstanding order? Is it? I've never heard of this after several years of Steam trading. Can you link me to the portion of the ToS where it says this? |
