MetArt now accepts Bitcoins for their network
 

And OKcupid started accepting them as well.

Smart people.

Unless they go to $25...

and price of bc is dropping

Up to the top.

They do it just for the free press.
Now whoever add bitcoin gets free links in articles and forums.
I may consider adding bitcoins just so you spam my site for free around.

fuck okcupid. Can't tell if 95% of their profiles are fake or if 95% of the hoes on there ignore me. PlentyOfFish is where it's at.

interesting. no recurring though.

Wrong.

People want to pay with Bitcoins - the free press is a nice bonus though. We'll be releasing more about this soon.

You're so uninformed it hurts.

You do know that you can deal in bitcoins without the backlash of the prices dropping and raising? I have a bitcoins "merchant" account that allows me to accept payments for any amount I want in bitcoins, and once the bitcoins hit my account it's immediately cashed out for the cost in USD...

So if I say something is $50 and you use my bitcoin merchant setup, you pay me $50 worth of bitcoins and the amount is deposited into my merchant account and immediately cashed out to me at $50... I lose nothing, you lose nothing.. We both win because I accept another form of payment and you have another way of paying me, hopefully with computer generated bitcoins....

I normally stay out of these bitcoin back and forths, but the uninformed bullshit spewing around lately is getting out of hand.

few years ago when noone was beliving i was collecting , now tell me how much i will sell 5,775 bitcoins?

That's actually a *plus* to many consumers.

hip hip hooray for poocoins!

Okcupid have an affiliate program? If yes please post webmaster ref code here i'll join under you :)

Will my name be in it? :1orglaugh

ican't think of 1 single reason not to accept them, the free publicity is not only an added value, it is value.

i can.. value fluctuation volatility...

come one guys.. you are smarter than this..

They really aren't.

Come on, I thought you were smarter than this..

Ya, because it's better not to offer an extra payment option.
I mean you rather have 0 than something that is worth money right.

lol, that's the last reason not to. think bigger. yahoo just spent $30m on a 17 year old to get the *free* advertising.

expand from there.

you think that fluctuation matters to the however many btc transactions they get as a result of this?


please. you are smarter than this?

Those idiots from Namecheap are also accepting them. They should be smarter than that right.

I can see adding Bitcoin as a payment option in addition to a 'non-recurring' membership, its basically the same thing, a one-time charge to access a site for a specific amount of time and depending on who the payment processor is, the bitcoins can be converted instantly to hard currency based on the market price.

interesting move, lets see how it works :)

Does nats have bitpay added yet ?

You might want to read up on how these bitcoin processors work.

I don't think that's possible with bitcoins, since the sender initiates the transaction.

Yeah, most of these big merchants jumping on the bandwagon are still effectively billing in USD, just with a bit of extra margin to allow for volatility before the bitcoin transaction settles and it can be converted back to USD.

i think they were in beta a year ago or so, not sure whether it had developed since as adult industry was very skeptical at first about whole bitcoin thing

if this got established the affiliate biz like now will be dead, there will be tons of illegal member sites offering pirated content for bitcoinz and theres no way to track them or take them down via the biller ..sure sometimes a site here or there will be dmcad or taken down, but they will popup in hundreds even thousands..some honest folks will stuck to the original sites..but the mainstream will give a shit ..good luck to us all

"You can thank Frank for MetArt accepting Bitcoins" is our PR title :winkwink:

like all investments, have the guts to sell and bank your profit, dont let greedines blur your vision

I wish match.com or eharmony accepted bitcoins...

sweeeeet

Yes, the few adding bitcoins support now, are the first ones (and right after bitcoins $250 price event), so getting their link posted in forums and press for free, which is lots of money saved in advertising.
For example I learned of a few webhosting and video gaming providers existence just because they was the few ones in list of who accepted bitcoins.
So it is actually smart to add bitcoins support, right now, as soon as possible, and announce it where possible. Met-art is smart people, as usual :)

However, this free press effect it is available only to the ones adding bitcoins support within a few weeks or perhaps month from now; let everyone add the bitcoins payment option (for example Epoch, would auto-add to thousands its merchants at once)... then at that point yet another site adding bitcoins payment no more make it in the news. Would be like someone write in press that "a site added support for Paypal".

So after some time, when supporting bitcoins is no more granting you CNN inteviews, the bitcoins payment option either give volume sales, or got no any added value. It is like those strange alternative payment methods Epoch and other billers support (voucher cards, etc.), but you see like one sale a year of that type.

They got free press worth $100,000's of advertising:

And by the way Kim Dotcom's MEGA accepts bitcoins:

This makes the the full site rip of metart and any other site being available for bitcoins too, just cheaper price. And unlike paypal or visa/mastercard, payment in bitcoins can't be shutdown with dmca's.

So lets say you would provide design services here, would you accept all of the payment options (like liberty reserve and many many more) just because its better to have extra payment option?
I mean its not as simple as that, otherwise everybody would accept every possible payment option.

LIberty Reserve :) The preferite way to buy and sell stolen credit cards, just search in youtube for "liberty reserve cvv" or "lr cvv"

That's a very smart thing to do.:2 cents:
