BTCDeals - Get the Humble Indie Bundle #3 with Bitcoins - pay what you want!

[sublimnl]

I love the idea of the Humble Indie Bundle - and the third such bundle just recently launched. The concept is that 5 indie developers are releasing their games, DRM free, with unrestricted licenses for Windows, Mac and Linux for whatever you are willing to pay for them. The games are of great quality and while not being released by major game publishers, they deserve all the attention possible.

For 48 hours, BTCDeals will be acting as a service to purchase your copy of the Humble Indie Bundle #3 using bitcoins. The minimum price is 0.25 BTC - only because I don't think these games deserve something - if you want to pay less you can always go directly to humblebundle.com

All orders are redeemed via a gift code that will be sent within 2 hours (unless I am sleeping - give me at least 6 hours then). The breakdown of the donation sent to Humble Bundle is as follows:

55% will be allocated to the developers
15% will be allocated to the EFF
15% will be allocated to Child's Play
10% will be allocated to Humble Bundle as a tip
5% will be kept by BTCDeals for service fees

More details on the Humble Bundle and the games available on https://www.btcdeals.com/ or the Humble Bundle site at http://www.humblebundle.com/

Wether you use BTCDeals to get it, or not - it's worth checking out and supporting this cause. It encourages indie developers to make great games, offer great cross-platform support and gives some to charities that matter.

I really don't see why people would use this. Sure you can use your bitcoins, but why should you get 5% when you can buy all the games for a penny? And a .25 btc minimum...

As I said, you can go ahead and pay a penny right on the site - I think they deserve more, so I imposed the minimum. If you feel like paying less you are free to do so directly on the site, or via someone else offering a similar service. I take 5% to make sure that when I assume the current rate is $14 to 1 BTC, and then it drops to $13.80 to 1 BTC, I am covered and not losing on the transaction - plus I am running a business in general. Hope that answers your questions
