The option to pay in bitcoins has been on the site for a while
Why only anouncing it now?

Because we have not announced it yet, and we feel now is a good time to do it.

Good news

Does the rest of the transaction remain the same? I'm thinking about free shipping....

You still get free shipping with PayPal, so I'd imagine it would just be the same. Try it out.

I paid for a load of hardware using Bitcoin within a few days of it being activated.

Really easy to use, zero hassle. perhaps even easier than using a Credit Card or paypal.

Excellent news!

Doesn't work for me, just get "There was a problem. Please reselect your payment options or add your card details." error every time i try.

Time to build a mining rig like I said I would ages ago. Price has been OK-ish for the past few days at least.

Great news and surprised it took you this long to announce! Any ETA to MM adoption?

Love the informational page, very well done & pretty correct from what i can see

I'd say profits are still not high enough (for a sensible enough return & ROI) to only just be building a mining rig this late in the game...

I doubt anytime soon. But you never know.

Given that OcUK technically have no control over cash transactions on the Members Market, I don't see why Bitcoin payments are forbidden. There is no heightened risk of being scammed - if somebody wants to scam you, they'll scam you and there's nothing that can be done about it.

A little video about it.

Any ETA to MM adoption?

I said that I accepted BTC on my last FS thread.

nobody said i wasnt allowed to

Glad to see this being pushed. I made my first BTC purchase the other day, and it's a nice painless way to do things with your digital currency. I could buy a nice 4k monitor with my BTC right now, which is far too tempting, but I'll be waiting to see how these recent price fluctuations pan out first!

Yay!!! NIce one guys

Switch your 670 for a couple of 280x/7970 and 'dabble' rather than building a dedicated rig... I've been dabbling since around November have invested £200, bought £400 worth of cards... Along with playing the markets and selling some hardware for profit for (around +£50 what I paid) I've got 1.6 BTC.

Current conversion (1BTC/£357.29) that's a £371.66 gain not taking into account my electricity costs and the value in hardware I'm holding (around £270?) makes my 'profits' pretty low!

Spoiler

But I've not been 'lucky', speculate far too much and don't mine much!
