Bitcoin is gaining popularity very fast and it would be good if the IPS Commerce would support it. Either via Stripe or another integration?

1 Bitcoin is currently worth $4662 right now. This is the Bitcoin chart over the years.

    Coingate would be good :)

    Stripe has this... Ips just needs to update their wrapper for stripe.

    I'm mobile ATM, but use the search feature, it's been suggested and a lot of others want stripe.

    I'm confused and probably completely miss the point :D. But how does someone pay with something worth $4,666. (it's much higher now too I believe)

    To me bitcoin is less a currency and more a commodity. People buy it for its potential value rather than a means to purchase things with.

    If someone could explain to me how it works I would be thankful.

    It would be a decimal value, example, 140.00 would equal 0.00859188 BTC with a value of $15,669.45 per BTC

    Oh I see, you can own part of a bitcoin. Got it. Thanks.

    I think Bitcoin is close to $18000 today.  It's crazy.  I remember buying a Bitcoin when it was $600 and thought it was way too expensive ...

    I think adding support for Coinbase would be awesome. I might start poking around to see what it will take to create this.

    There are many ways to do this... The cryptocoin gateways are not much different from PayPal, Stripe or others.

    I'd be will to develop this for donations to get it done,

    Connect with my if you would consider support this.

    Stripe already supports bitcoin, we just have to integrate it

    Yes, but your limited to just BTC.

    BTW the fees to send BTC are astronomical right now. I tried to send some coins to someone the other day, the fee for like a $15 transaction was $25. Yes the FEE was more then the item I wanted. The truth is, & in my own analysis right now BTC is not working as a currency, it is must more like a commodity, such as gold/silver is

    Coinbase and other Cryptocurrency platforms would be a good choice to because most support other coins. Which allows flexibility in future payment ways.

    The detonation won't hurt you.

    Don't waste your time. If you are serious about crypto investment. Go with ripple (Xrp). it was hit 10$ in 3 years, is being rolled out as a transaction processor to banks. The other crypto will burst and fail. Don't even bother with them. Trust me! Besides. This is the year they bring about the one world currency. A $ ain't going to be worth much in 7-8 months I don't think.

    This is a good solution for this.

    Just another solution to add. Not hating on the idea of adding cryptocurrency support (Marketplace app already adds this ability) , Coinpayments in your example has already been done by @Ahmad E.  ; but Stripe has this as well (which is built into Commerce). Just the stripe skin needs to be updated to support it.

    His mod doesn't work for IPB 4.2.x or 4.3.x unfortunately.. wish there was an update on it for 4.3

     

    No worries, I got 4+ years of blockchain and 15+ years of API payment gateway experience and we are going to run some really advanced things on the IPS4 powered platform of OSXL. https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/10003-whats-going-on-ill-tell-ya-whats-going-on/?do=findComment&comment=77753 ... Some of those crypto currency plugins might find their way onto the Market Place of invision ?

    Oh god, you are the answer to my prayers!

    We added Bitcoin support via Stripe. A few weeks later Stripe pulled support because the exchange was too volatile.

    As it stands, we have no plans for Bitcoin.
