Maybe the process was too complicated on a large scale to continue accepting BTC payments? Not sure how easy/difficult accepting BTC is.

I guess it was just a experimental move for them to see if it will be used or not.And maybe now they decided it's not worth it.
Or soon they will come up with an own version.I wouldn't be surprised.

A non-definitive way to sponsorising Microsoft even more?
Here we have a nice strategomind.
They probably stopped it because they don't like more updates than they usually do on their systems?


Please don't buy Windows 10, if you really want to buy original of something, go for 8.

It's not difficult at all. That's definitely not an excuse nor reason to stop offering Bitcoin payments to its users. They don't have to do anything as every Bitcoin sale gets converted into fiat currency. I think the reason for Microsoft to temporarily not offer Bitcoin payments is more due to the lack of interest from people. They are simply not using it enough.

Maybe those is connected to openbazar that is getting near the big opening ,those will change the way to buy and sell,soo maybe they are waiting to see how it will go on,and then return the bitcoin option.But one thing is well knowed already the openbazar should strike a part of ebay costumers ,since some are here and well lets see what will happen.

Keep calm guys, this is just temporary.
It's very influential tho

I hope they return the service. I am more comfortable using bitcoin as payment method specially when transacting online. This is a huge setback if other companies also stop accepting bitcoins as payment.

There was a pump when the news that Microsoft had started accepting Bitcoin reached this forum. People were buying thousands of Bitcoins, not a few. I remember the price going up at that time because of people speculating on the news, not buying Microsoft products.

I read an article a while back about BitPay getting hacked and laying off a bunch of people. Part of the article was about them losing merchants too. I think the reason given was the inability of merchants to give refunds back to customers because the transaction is irreversible. The only way the merchant could give a refund was to wait for the transaction to clear then refund in fiat and pay any fees out of pocket. Maybe that's what happened to Microsoft.
