I am sorry, everything is not ok. I need some airline tickets, and just wasted my time with three travel websites that advertise that they accept bitcoins, and when I get to the final order screen the pay with bitcoin options do not work. Not happy about this at all.
What website did you use? I did a purchase the other day on Steam, I bought a videogame that was on the Summer sale thing and it was really cheap, so I was too lazy to reach for my debit card so I just used BTC because I had my BTC wallet opened. The purchase was easy.
Steam uses Bitpay as far as I know. Im not sure what the merchant you are trying to buy from is using. Coinbase was having some problems lately. Things will be ok soon when the Bitcoin Cash scam is over.
