Bitcoin needs to be an option for payment

 

Bitcoin is a consensus network that enables a new payment system and a completely digital money. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen. From a user perspective, Bitcoin is pretty much like cash for the Internet. Bitcoin can also be seen as the most prominent triple entry bookkeeping system in existence.

 

-no banks so we cant cancel a payment once its gone out (onlike paypal payers)

-no bank means no fees (this could save tanki millions per year)

 

There is a growing number of businesses and individuals using Bitcoin. This includes brick and mortar businesses like restaurants, apartments, law firms, and popular online services such as Namecheap, WordPress, and Reddit. While Bitcoin remains a relatively new phenomenon, it is growing fast. At the end of August 2013, the value of all bitcoins in circulation exceeded US$ 1.5 billion with millions of dollars worth of bitcoins exchanged daily.

 

-lots of games are accepting bitcoin for payment

-this summer so far i've spent $25 worth of bitcoin on another game because you dont accept it here

 

 

Bitcoin payments are easier to make than debit or credit card purchases, and can be received without a merchant account. Payments are made from a wallet application, either on your computer or smartphone, by entering the recipient's address, the payment amount, and pressing send. To make it easier to enter a recipient's address, many wallets can obtain the address by scanning a QR code or touching two phones together with NFC technology.

 

 

What are the advantages of Bitcoin?
  • Payment freedom - It is possible to send and receive any amount of money instantly anywhere in the world at any time. No bank holidays. No borders. No imposed limits. Bitcoin allows its users to be in full control of their money.
  • Very low fees - Bitcoin payments are currently processed with either no fees or extremely small fees. Users may include fees with transactions to receive priority processing, which results in faster confirmation of transactions by the network. Additionally, merchant processors exist to assist merchants in processing transactions, converting bitcoins to fiat currency and depositing funds directly into merchants' bank accounts daily. As these services are based on Bitcoin, they can be offered for much lower fees than with PayPal or credit card networks.
  • Fewer risks for merchants - Bitcoin transactions are secure, irreversible, and do not contain customers’ sensitive or personal information. This protects merchants from losses caused by fraud or fraudulent chargebacks, and there is no need for PCI compliance. Merchants can easily expand to new markets where either credit cards are not available or fraud rates are unacceptably high. The net results are lower fees, larger markets, and fewer administrative costs.
  • Security and control - Bitcoin users are in full control of their transactions; it is impossible for merchants to force unwanted or unnoticed charges as can happen with other payment methods. Bitcoin payments can be made without personal information tied to the transaction. This offers strong protection against identity theft. Bitcoin users can also protect their money with backup and encryption.
  • Transparent and neutral - All information concerning the Bitcoin money supply itself is readily available on the block chain for anybody to verify and use in real-time. No individual or organization can control or manipulate the Bitcoin protocol because it is cryptographically secure. This allows the core of Bitcoin to be trusted for being completely neutral, transparent and predictable.

There are too few people ready to use bitcoins as payment option to this game.

Well some have suggested it is an option on the Russian side. Is this true and if so why do they get an option we do not? Could you please clarify this for us?

Have you considered the possibility that adding bitcoins might actually attract more people?

Just saying...... Many people I know buy using bitcoins. If I tell them about a game which doesn't accept bitcoins, they wouldn't really consider playing. I'm not saying that's right. But that's just how some people are.

I don't know what his issue is but I really think they need to find another person to represent them in the EN forum because he is really doing a lot of damage to the relationship between forum users and the development team.

I think he's doing his job well. He doesn't need to explain to us everytime why our ideas are wrong. But he does. His communication is clear and precise. If you want to complaint about him, please take it to PM.

There are two Semyon's on the development team that seem to be pretty fluent in English, Hazel and the other one is Semyon Kirov who everyone knows from the V-log/news section. I'm not sure if Semyon Kirov reads the I&S section, but he should be more interactive here.

 

This Semyon (Hazel) is quite headstrong, but that's just his personality. At least he posts on the English forum, albeit it's usually to voice negative views. You should blame the other developers for not being more social here - I don't know if this is a Russian thing or what?

What you say just supports what many already think.  Tanki really doesn't care about the members of the EN community. If they did we would have some better representatives of the Tanki team to actually discuss things with in this forum. Instead we get v-logs and . All Tanki really wants is our money.
