There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

I bought it too, and I have to say, these games are pretty awesome. I never suspected unknown indie game like Organ trail to be so addictive. Only disappointment is poor coding in Frozen Synapse. Minimum 1GB ram on android??? Is this a joke? Also barely works on laptop with AMD e450 2x1.65Ghz + radeon 6320.

Humble Bundles are awesome and its for a good cause. Pay in BTC, and its a Win-Win-Win, those are rare.  Grin

It's very sad - Humble Bundle is experiencing issues with Bitcoin payments and have temporarily removed this option from their site.

Also they don't have ETA on when Bitcoin will be available again as a payment option so it looks little worse than just technical issues Sad

People, please write to them to start accepting BTC again as I have.

Regards!

if organisations like HB will drop BTC payment method then BTC will be even much cheaper.
and price isn't important - just pay more BTC Smiley

Oh this is nice to hear! Our staff have bought from humble bundle before.

It seems that buying with Bitcoins is available. From now on purchases with Bitcoin only!

Never again.

Againg do not see Bitcoin payment option @HumbleBundle.
Organisation that helps charity, supports indie games development who is anti DRM stops accepting Bitcoin?

Nice to know that, I've purchased many of the bundles from them too. I especially liked the bundle which came with 3 free insurgency keys to share with friends too.

Support answer:
Bitcoin payments are presently only available for US-based customers. Since Coinbase is unable to convert other currencies to BTC, only US customers can pay with Bitcoin.


It's a pity. This means I will not give them my money ;-)
No more HumbleBundle till BTC payment will be available to me.

It's odd, I remember trying to buy games from the store before and it didn't allow BTC payments (I'm in the UK).

However it does allow BTC payments for the "Pay what you want" Bundles - I just bought the comics bundle they have at the moment with BTC: https://www.humblebundle.com/books

Basically just click the "Pay What You Want" button, put in your email, click the little "Bitcoin Payment" button at the bottom, scan dat QR code and BOOM!

EDIT: also fill in how much/little you want to pay, the default is $25 I think.

It's not possible in Humble Store (https://www.humblebundle.com/store).
But you are right... We can pay for Bundles using BTC. Better than nothing Smiley THX!!!

So basically, they won't let you pay in BTC because they charge more for the bundle if you're not paying in US$.
Two good reasons to go elsewhere to get your fix.
