btc is better for just investment (if you are not conservative investor) but as currency its worth shit. slow and very expensive as for fees.

makes no sense. there are much faster and cheaper cryptocurrencies (rupaya, ripple, francs etc ...)

Sorry, I only deal in Unencrpyto currencies, like Banana peels and odd bits of peanut brittle.
Ok, since this got bumped:

anonplay: Bitcoin has just gone over $9000 per coin. It has tripled in value in the few months since the last post, meaning Bitcoin owners as a group have gained tens of billions of dollars to be spent/unloaded somewhere; some of that can go into video games.

If GOG will not accept it, it'd just go to Steam/Humble Bundle/etc.

Why not start working with a payment processor to accept Bitcoin ASAP?
No! Wrong! If people expect bitcoin to rise in price, they won't be spending it!
Seriously, this is so wrong my head hurts. No one with at least half a brain* would pay 0.001 coins for a game if they think they could buy two games for the same price tomorrow and 25 games the day after. "Bad (as in, inflationary) money drives out good."

*(then again, this is bitcoin fans we're talking about, so, maybe?)

Everyone else @ thread:
the type of bitcoin payment processing relatively sane people are suggesting involve offering prices in normal currencies and the payment processor disbursing the proper amount of revenue in a normal currency to the seller. From the pov of the seller, nothing changes except they have to make a deal with a financially unsound organization that might go belly up at some point and not make that final disbursement. I don't think the OP was suggesting GOG should "pivot" to batshit bubble speculation, make a bitcoin account and sell games for tokens. So if you can find a processor that would take your monopoly money / WoW gold / galactic credits and pay GOG in USD, go ahead and advocate for it.
<humour>I think GoG should add a javascript based script to their website and get all of us to do the mining since we spend so much time here</humour>

If I was a multi millionaire I'd invite all of you over for the world's biggest keger.

Nice idea about the script, but I would turn on its work when the user has an active adblocker)

I'm glad that anti-virus programs started blocking such mechanisms of my equipment load quite successfully. And then I watched the cases of performing unclear tasks on the PC. I have nothing against the miners, and personally exchange cryptocurrency, but this should be stopped, in my opinion.
Im not a fan of bitcoin mining. That needs to stop.

How do you feel about fracking?

fracking is ok. But Bitcoin mining is driving up the cost of my RAM and GPU. It must be stopped. Fracking makes my heating costs lower and my gasoline prices more reasonable.
