SteamBits.com - Buy Video Games with Bitcoins! Sale: GRID 2!!

[SteamBits.com]

Hey all,

As a lover of video games (and bitcoins), I wanted to let you know about a project I have been working on:

www.steambits.com

SteamBits.com offers a fun and easy way to browse and buy computer games (Windows/Mac/Linux) with bitcoins.

I am still adding new features daily, so please reply here with any ideas or comments!

Thanks!

Just a quick update, also adding non-steam games (like minecraft!).

The specials change daily so be sure to check back!

You've got a nice website, I just wished that we could browse trough the games by their genre or somewhat instead of just searching for their names, sometimes it's good to find new non AAA games.

This feature is coming soon! I originally had it planned in the release, but id rather get some validation before I spend a ton of time on this.

I'll let you know when I have this working.

Hey Ryan,

Great idea - I love the site. Very well done.

Can you run through how a transaction occurs? When I "buy" a game - what happens next? Do I get a Steam key emailed? Or do I wait for you to personally gift it to me? Or is automated? Just curious on the process (and I'm sure others are curious as well).

Also, a suggestion - can you add the ability to show what the game costs in USD? I know you have the exchange rate in the top left corner, but to have it visually available next to each BTC price would be nice. Or at least have a toggle for those of us who visualize USD better.

Thanks!

Just brought, CS:GO and I am already installing it, very fast, and simple. Great job!

Why would you want to play CS:GO? It's a reskin of older versions with more calladoody influence.

The same shit is CoD, stills if you want to play the latest online experience you must have the latest shit version of the f*cking game.

Currently, when you buy a game, I manually buy the game and send you the key. I have alerts setup to notify me when a payment comes through, so I can be as quick as possible. Obviously, this isn't an ideal situation though, and I should have this process automated in a couple weeks (hopefully)!

I have had multiple requests to add the USD amount. I think what I will do is use a tooltop, so if you mouse over any price it will display the underlying USD amount.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions!

I wanted to support a new bitcoin website, and I enjoy CS, I am not a hardcore gamer.

Thanks for the feedback gweedo, and for supporting us! Let me know if you have any other ideas on how we can improve!

My only complain about your website is the price, a bit expensive(~10%) since we can buy for less from other merchants.over priced

I understand, currently our prices are a little higher than the competition.

I know that there are lots of forums posters, and bitmit sellers that offer some great deals that SteamBits can't compete with. For example, there are like a million of these bioshock and crysis 3 keys floating out there right now.

What SteamBits offers is a really great buying experience. You don't need an account, don't need to signup to anything, or PM someone on a forum, or worry about escrows, or changing prices. Just pick your game, enter your email and send the bitcoins. We are almost finished our automated system so that you should get your game almost instantly.

Definitely not for everyone but we have really had a great response so far and hope that some people continue to find it useful!

What we will try to do, DarkHyudrA, is run some unique sales that hopefully you may find enticing! I may put one up this afternoon.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ok so, MtLAGox is up and running down and your site keeps saying that it is down and I can't buy anything :c

[FatMagic]

SteamBits still down? Just curious where it went.
